Tbrre were three thousand

to make s-rrt of eve-less Samson. They werf
ail ready for the entertainment. They begar
to tip And poand, impatient for the amuse-m-t

eiar.t coEuing. led by the hand of a child intc
tr.e very mi est of the temple. At his first ap-raran-'e
there iroe-j up a shout of lauzhter
end derision. Thy bhnd old giant pretends
be i.s tired and wants to rest hirnseit against
the p;l!ars of the Louse; so he says to the lad
who leads him: '"Show me where the main
pillars are."' The lad does so. Then the strong
mm puts hLs right band on one pillar and
h s left hand on another pillar, and, with
the mightiest p-jsh that mortal ever made,
throws himseii forward until the whole
ho-je cmes down in thunderous crash,
crin iinT the audience like grapes in a wine
r'ross. "And so it came to when their
hearts were merry, that thev said : CaU for

In other word. there are amusements that
are fie.-!ru-"tive. and bring down disaster and
death upon the heads of those who practice
them. While they laugh and cheer, they die.
The thr e tLoa-an I who perished that day in
fjfcza are as nothing compared with the tens
of thoii-and. who have been destroyed by
unful f.m'jsements.
But the other test I have read implies that
th-r" is a lawful u of the world, as well as
Bn unlawful abuse of it; and the difference
between the man Christian and the man un
christian is that in the former case tbe man
mas'frs the world, w hile in the latter case the
world mas'tT3 him. For whom did God
inake this grand and beautiful world? For
whom this wonderful expenditure of color,
this gra-vefy !n-ss of line, this mosaic of the
grou:-d. this fresco of the iky. this glowing
i niitige of orchard and vineyard, this full

This morning, in th- name of the King of
Heaven and earth, I serve a writ of eject
oent upn ail the- sinful and polluted who
ha'.e squatted on th" domain of earthly
pleasure as though it Velonged bD them, while
t claim, in behaved the good and the pure
and the true, the eternal inheritance which
'.'oi has given them.
Hitherto. Chri-tian philanthropist', cleri
cal an d lay, 1 ave busied themselves ehieflv in
ier;cincing s;nfu! recreations; but I ftef we
ave no rizht o stand lfore men and women
in who e hearts there is a desire for recrea
tion amounting to positive necessity, de
nouncir.g this an 1 that an 1 the other thing,
when wi- c'.onot rromise to give them some
thing b ttr-r. God helping me this morning,
:nd with refcren -e to my last account, I shall
' titer tij'on a sf here not usual in sermoniz-
g, but a stibje-'t which I think ought to be
I :e:ventL-d at this time. I propose now to lay
; efore you some of the recreations w hich are
not on! innocent, but positively belpful and
advantageous.
In tho first place, I commend, among in
ixr recreations, music, vocal and instru
mental. Among the first things created was
She bird, so that the earth might have music
at the start. This world, which began with
?o sweet a serenade, is finally to be demol
ished aniid.-t the ringing blast" of the arch
r. gel's trumpet, so that as there was music
it the start, there thall te music at the close.
While this heavenly art Las often been
Iragged into the uses" of superstition and dis
ipat.on. we ail know it may be the means of
;igh moral culture. Oh, it is a grand tuing
to have our children brought up amidst the
ound of cultured voices aad amidst, the
melody of musical instruments. There is in
this art an indescribable fascination for the
he uphold. I-t al! those families who have
the means to affor d it, have flute or harp, or
:,-iuno or organ. As soon as the hand is large
;n-ugh to compass the keys, teach it how to
p.ck out the melody. Let all our young men
ry this heavenly art upon their nature,
riiose who have gone into it fully have found
in it illimitable recreation and amusement.
Park days, stormy nights, seasons of siek
aess, businot-s diaters, will do little toward
depressing the soul which can gallop off over
musical keys or soar in jubilant lay. It will
cure iain. It will rest fatigue. It will quell
passion. It will revive health. It will re
claim dissipation. It will strengthen the im
mortal soul. In the battle of Waterloo, Wel
lington saw that the Highlanders were fall
ing back: be said: '-What is the matter
Lr-re.'" He was told that the band of music
had cea-od playing, and he called up the
r irrs and ordered them to strike up an in
spiriting air; and no sooner did they strike
:L;e air than the Highlanders were rallied
and helped to win the dav. Oh, ye w ho hare
! cen routed in the conflicts of life, try by the
force of music to rally your scattered bafc
l-ulions.
1 am glad to know that in onr great citiei
there is hardly a night in which there are noi
conrts where, with the best musical instru
ments and the sweetest voices, people may
find entertainment. Patronize such enter
taiments w hen they are afforded you. Buy
season tickets if you can for the " 'Philhar
monic" and the "Handel and Haydn"1 socie
ties Feel thtit the dollar and a half or twe
dollars that you spend for tbe purpose of
hearing an artist v'.ay or sing is a profitable
investment. It your Steinway haL's and
vocr academies of music roar with the ac
'amatirn cf appreciative audience? assem
bled at the concert or the oratorio.
ti'l further. I commend as worthy of sup
port the gvmnasium. This institution is
tiain ng in favor every year, and I know of
r.othins more free from dissipation or more
calculated to recuperate the physical and
mental energies. While there are a good
many people who have employed this insti
tution there is a vast number who are iznor
tnt cf in excellences. There are menVith
cramped chests and weak 6ides and despond-ri'-nt
spirits who through the gvmnasium
might be routed tip to exuberance and exhil
firation of life. There are many Christian
people despondent from year to year who
m.ght through such an institution be bene
fited in their spiritual relations. There ere
Christian people who seem to think that it i3
ffood Rign to be poorlv, and because Richard
raster and Robert Hall were invalids they
fehlnic that by the sams sickliness they may

You were young once yourself: let your chil
dren be young. Because your eyes are dim
and your ankles are stiff do not denounce
sportfulness in thov? upon who? eye there is
the first lustre, and in whose foot there is
the bounding joy of robust health. I thank
God that in cur drawing-rooms and in our
parlors there are innumerable games and
sports which have not upon them the least
taint of iniquity. Light up all your homes
with innocent hilarities. Do not sit down
witii the rheumatism, wondering how
children can go oa so. Rather thank God
that tbeir hearts ar? so light and their
laughter is so free, and that their cheeks are
so ruddy and that their expectations are so
radiant. The night will come soon enough,
and the heartbreak, and the pang, and th9
desolation it wid come soon enough for the
dear children. But when the storm actually
clouds the sky it will be time enough for
you to haul out your reef tackles. Carry,
then, into your homs not only the innocent;
sports and cames which are the inventions of
our own day, but the games which come
down with the sportfulnsi of all the past
ages chess and charades, and tableaux and
battledore, and calisthenics, and lawn tennis
and all thoe amusements which the young
people of our homes know so well how to
contrive. Then there will be the parlor soci

homes, with wjt and mimicry and joviality,
filling the room with joy from the door to

You w ill find the Metropolitan Museum and
the Historical Society rooms full of rare curi
osities, and scores of places which can stand
plainly the test of what is right and wrong in
amusements. You will find the lecturing
hall, which has been honored by the names
of Agassiz in natural history, Dorernus in
chemistry, Boynton in geology, Mitcl-el in
astronomy, John B. Gough in moral reform,
an I scores and hundreds oi men who have
poured their wit and genius and ingenuity
through that particular channel upon the
hearts anl consciences and imaginations of
men, setting this country fifty years farther
in advan'-e than it wouid have l-en without
the lecture platform.
I rejoice in the popularization of outdoor
sports. I hail the croquet ground and the
fidierrnan's rod and the sportsman's gun. In
our cities life is so unhealthy and unnatural
that when the census taker" represents a city
as having ),' ) inhabitants, there are only
4'.-i.'j0. since it takes at least two men to
amount to one man, so depleting and unnerv
ing and exhausting is this metropolitan life.
We want more fresh air, more sunlight. more
of the abandon of field sports. I cry out for
it in behalf of the church of God as well as in
behalf cf secular interests. I wish that thi3
winter our ponds and our rivers and our
Capitoline grounds might be all awake with
tbe heel and the shout bf the swift skater. I
w ish that when the warm weather comes the
graceful oar might dip the stream ani
the evening tidj he resonant with
boatman's song. the bright prow
srlitting the crystalline billow. We
shall have tbe smooth and grassy lawn, and
we will call out people of all occupations and
professions, and ask th?m to join in the ball
player's sport. You will come back from
these outdoor exercises and recreations with
stren5th in vour arm. and color in your
chek, and a flash in your eye, and courage
in your heart In this great battle that is
opening against the kingdom of darkness we
want not only a consecrated soul, but a
strong arm and stout lungs and a mighty
muscje. I bless God that there are so many
recreations that have not on them any talnl
of iniquity; recreations in which we may
engage for the strengthening of the body,
for the clearing of the intellect, for the illu
mination of the soul.
There is still another form of recreation
which I commend to you. and that is the
pleasure of doing good. I have seen y ung
iiien weak and cross and sour and repelling
in their disposition, who, by one heavenly
touch, have wakened up and become blessed
and buoyant, the ground under their feet and
tbe sky over their heads breaking forth into
music.
"Ob," says some young man in the
house to-day, "I shonld like that recreation
H':ove all otners, but I have not the means."
My dear brother, let us take an account of
stock this morning. You have a larsro estate,
if you only realize it. Two hands. T wo feet.
You will have, perhaps, during the next year,
at least $10 for charitable contribution. You
will have twenty-five hundred cheerful looks,
if you want to employ them. You will have
five thousand pleasant words, if you want to
Fak them. .Now, what an amount that is
to start with.
You go out to-morrow morning and yon
seacasa of real destitution by tho way
side. You give him two cents. The blind
man hears the ynn:es rattle in his hat, and
be says: "Thank you, sir; G'M bless you."
You pass down the street, tying to look in
dift"erent;but you feel from'the very depth
of your soul a profound satisfaction that yon
made that man happy. You eo on still far
ther, and find a poor boy with a wheelbar
row, trying to get it up on the curbstone.
He fails in the attempt You say : ''Stand
back, my lad; let me try." You push it ud
on the curbstone for him, and pass on. He
wonders who that well dressed man was that
helped him. You did a kindness to the boy,
but you did a great joy to your own souL
You will not get over it all the week.
On the street to-morrow morning you will
"e a sick man passing along. "Ah," j-ou say,
"What can I do to make this man happy? lie
certainly does not wajg money: he is riot poor;
but he is sick." Give himoneof thosetw nty
ri ve hundred cheerful looks that vou have gar
nered np for the whole year. Look jov and
hopefulness into his soul. It will thrill him
through, and there will be a reaction upon
your own son!. Going a little farther on you
will come to the store of a friend who is em
barrassed in business matters. You will go in
and siy: What a fine store you have! I
think business will brighten up." and you will
have more custom alter a while. "I think
tr.ore is coming a great prosperity to all tbe
country. Good morning." You pass out. You
have helped that young man. and you have
h"!p?d yourself. And that night you po
home; you sit by the fire, you talk a littl,
you sing a little, you laugh a little; you say:
'I really don t know what is the matter with
Tie. I never felt so splendid in mv life."
I will tell what is the matter w:th ou.
You spent only two cents out of the10f you
have contributed one out of twenty-five hun
dred cheerful looks; you have given ten, fif
teen or twenty of the" five thousand pleasant
rords you are going to speak during th
year; you have with your own hands helped
tho boy with the wheelbarrow, and you fe4
n body, mind and soul the thrill of that
recreation. Which do you think was the
harpier CoL Gardiner, who sat with bis
?loow on a table epread with all extravagant
mads, locking c2 &t a doat ca tta
rug, saying: How I would lite to
-hangs places with him; I be the dog
and he be Colonel Gardiner ;n or those two
Moravian missionaries who wanted - to go
into the lazaretto for the sake of attend
ing the sick, and they were told : 'H J" on go
in there, you will never come out. We never
allow any one to come out, for he would
bring the contagion. n Then they made tbeir
wills and went in. first to help the sick and
then to die. Which was the happier, Colonel
Gardiner or the Moravian missionaries dymz
for others 1 Was it all sacrifice when the
missionaries wanted to bring the Gospel to
the negroes at the Barbadoes, and, being
denied the privileges, sold themselves into
slaverv. standing sid by sid3 and lying
side by side down in tbe very ditch of
suffering in order that they might bring
those men up to life end God and heaven?
Ob, there is a thrill in the joy of doing gooL
It is the most magnificent recreation to
which a man ever puts his hani or his bead
or his heart.
But, before closing. I want to impress upon
rou that mere secujar entertainments are not
a fit foundation for j our soul to buiid on.
I was reading of a woman who had gone
all tbe ronnds of sinful amusement, anl she
ame to die. She said: "I will die to-night
it 6 o'clock." -0h," they said. "I guess
cot. you don't seem to be sick." "I shall die
at 6 o'clock, and my soul will I lost. I
know it will be lost. I have sinned away
my dav of grace." The noon came. They
desired to seek religious corms?L
Oh,r she said, -it is of no use. My day is
trnn T have been all the rounds of worldly
pleasure, and it is too late. I shall die to
night at 6 o'clock." The day wore away, and
tt cam e to 4 o'clock, and to 5 o'clock, and she
cried out at 5 o'clock : " Destroyed sj

began to gather, and the clock struck 6: and
while it was striking her soul went. What
hour Gci will call for us I do not know
whether 6 o'clock to-n:gbt, or 3 o'clock this
afternoon, or at 1 o'clock, or at this rto
ment. Sitting where you are, falling for
ward, or standing where you are, dropping
down, where would you go to?
But our hour for adjourning has already
come, and the last hour of our life will soon
be Lere, and from that hour we will review
this day's proceedings. It will be a solemn
nour. If from our death pillow we have to
look back and see a life spent in sinful amuse
ment, there will be a dart that will strika
through our soul sharper than the dageer
with which Virginius slew his child. Tha
memory of the past will make us quake like
Macbeth. The iniquities and rioting through
which we have passed will come upon u.
weird and skeleton as Meg Merrilles. Death,
the old ishylock, will demand and take the re
maining pound of fiesh and the remaining
drop of Wood, and upon our last opportunity
for repentance, ani !our last chance for
heaven, the curtain w,li forever drop.
A Unique Advertisement.
Sme years asro. when Mr. Boncer be
came worn out with the fatigue of hard
work, he purchased a place in the coun
try. He bad not been there a p-eat
while when the following appeared in
the LtJger under the heading, 'A
country seat for sale where there i3 fever
and ague:"
I hereby offer to sell my country seat at
West Morrisania. near Melrose Station, where
I have lived for the pas three summers, but
do cot think I could live much longer. I
have heard that people looking for a place to
Eurchase could never find one where they
ave chills and fever. They always have it
about a mile or a mile and a half or two
miles away, but never right there at the
place that Is for sale. Now. I offer for sale a
curiosity something rare the precise, exact
spot where the fever and ague is. I will
warrant it to be there. Three of my children
have it, my gardener has it. my gro-m has the
premonitory symptoms, and I have a suf
ficient inkling of it myself. Any doctor with
a large family, with a specific for fever and
a?ue would find it a most eligible situation.
The neighborhood is fuli of the disease, aad
if he could keep it out of his own family
it would give him a reputation which would
assure his future. Besides th fever and
ague the estate consists of a fine double house
with modern conveniences anl improve
ments, such as hot au 1 coii water, furnace,
range, etc. About two acres of land, a pretty
fair barn, and some excellent box stalls for
horses. It is really a beautiful place. Tbe
grounds are handsomely laid out and covered
with shrubbery ani trees of the choicest
J kind. Tbe trees not only afford a delightful
j shade, but a nice harbor for mosquitoes. I
j bought the plac-j to please my wife, and shall
sell it to plciso my whole family. Terms

Superstitious Lake Marines.
In j-paking of the superstitions of
mariners, Captain J. W. Hall, one of the
oldest and most experienced I tke-faring
men in Detroit, said yesterday: "Did
you ever cotke that thers is no vessel on
the lakes name J The George Washing

name was a steamer launched in J833.
She went down during the same year
w ith the loss of one life. Another "wa?
built about 1S37, and in 1S3S foundered
with the "loss of sixty-eight lives. The
idea that there is bad luck in the nae

reticent nature, and I suppose it took the
rlimate longer to get acquainted with me
than it did the ordinary run of men. For I
had to drink about a barrel of whisky and
take whole pounds of quinine before I could
get strong enough to even shake myself, let
alone a bed.'
"How was I cured.'"
"Well it was a novel cure. I boarded with
a Mrs. Dennis, who told me she could cure
me if I would take her medicine. Finally
arwnd my bead so f could not see; then she j
tSt a Sfssf water, and told me to
I agreed. She brought a towel ana bouna it
take my dose, and immediately swallowed
tbe water.
The dose tasted like a little ball of dust,
and as it was going down I felt a sharp pain
in mv throat, as if it had been scratched.
"The next morning iirs. Jennis crougnt
fore."
The medicine this gentleman took fcr
malaria, may haTe been effective, but few
would care to try the remedy. "or is there
anv necessity for it
Malaria is a poisoned condition cf the
blood, produced by bad air and water, which
enter the blood-channels through the stomach
and lungs, and other ways, and produce in
jurious effects on the liver anl kidneys. It
is cured by putting the liver and kidneys in
perfect, healthv working order. The drugs
ordinarily used for such purposes frequently
do quite as much harm as good, and leave the
system in an enfeebled condition.
The certain and harmless remedy for ma
laria is Warner's safe cure, which puts the
liver and kitneys in healthy action, when
the poison is carried out of the system, and
the serious enect3 it engenders pass away.
J. 3L Bocth. Springfield, Mass.. under date
of March 2. 1ST, writes: 'One year ago I
had the malaria had had it more or les3 for
ten years. I stopped all other medicines and
took Warner's safe cure, an 1 it cured me.
This country is famous for malaria, and I
know Warner's safe cure will cure it."
People who live in malarious localities will
find in Warner's safe cure a specific against
contracting this disease. The malarial poi
son can find no entrance to the system, if tbe
liver and kidnejs are kept in healthy action.
The gentleman who swallowed the spider,
concludes his narrative in the New York
Mail and Ejrpress by saying:
"I was effectually cured, but I wouldn't
take another dose of that medicine to save
my life."
Making Silrer Dimes.
It is not generally known that th
United States Mint, on Fifth street, ii
the largest institution cf the kind in th
world, yet it is a fact. Just at the pres
cnt time there is a lively demand foi
eilver dimes, and hundreds of thousands
of dollars of them are being shipped tc
New York, Chicago, Cincinnati, St.
Louis and other Eastern cities. Two ol
the money presses have been for somi
lime running exclusively cn this coin.
The demand is so great that thes
machines are not even stopped on Sun
days, and will be run on that daj
throughout the present month.
The process of dime-making is an
interesting one. The silver bullion i
first melted and run into two-pound
bars. These in turn fire run through
immense rolle- and flattened out to th
thickne a of the coin. These tilvc
strips are then passed through a machin j
wnicn cuts mem mio trie proper size ioi
the presses, the strips having tirst been
treated with a kind of tallow to nrevcnl
their being scratched in their passage
through the cutters. The silver piecei
are then put into the feeder of the print
ing presses, and are fed to the die by
automatic machinery at the rate of 100
per minute, 4?,00Q dimes being turned
out in the regular working day of eight
hours.
As the smooth pieces are pressed be
tween the ponderous printing dies they
receive the lettered and figured impres
sion in a manner similar to that of a
paper pressed upon a form of type; at
the same time the piece is expanded in a
flight degree, and the small corrugations
are cut into its rim. The macaine drops
the completed coin into a. receiver, and
it is ready for the counter's hands.
The instrument used bj the counter is
not a complicated machine by any
means, as one might suppose. It is a
6imple, copper-colored tray, having
raised ridges running across its surface
at a distance apart the exact width of a
dime. From the receiver the money is
dumped on to this board or tray, and as
it is shaken rapidly by the counter the
piece; settle down into the spaces be-'
tween tne ridges. All these spaces being
filled, the surplus coin is brushed back
into the receiver, and the counter has ex
i "
actly 1,2-jO silver dimes, or 123, on hs
! t,aT, which number 19 rCaUirCU tO fill
v. Tk . .t 4- j

shipment. The dime docs uot pass

Shoeing Horses.
It is the general practice in Spain to
shoe horses without the application of
heat, and very few shoeing smiths have
bellows or forges in their shops. They
also make their shoes without the a'd of
fires, a fact largely due to the pure, soft,
ductile iron primarily manufactured with
wood and charcoal. The Spanish her
rador' or shoeing smith, for he does no
other work, generally jobbing or repair
ing, has no us? for J.he drawing-knife,
and he never touches or pares anything
but the wall, and tnat with tbe butteris,
and on no consideration would he put on
a calk unless ordered to do so by a veter
inarian. It may be surprising, but never
theless it is so, that lameness located in
the feet or caused by shoeing is far more
rare in Spain than in England or America.

' SYIPTOTIS OF THE DISEASI-Dull, heavy headache,
obstruction of the nasal passages, discharges faliinir from the
head into the throat, sometimes profuse, watcrv, and acrid, nt
others, thick, tenacious, mucous, purulent, Llondv and putrid:
tbe eyes are weak ; there is ringing in the cars, deafness, hacking
or coughing to clear the throat, expectoration of offensive mat
ter, together with scaba from ulcers; the voice is changed and
has a nasal twana"; the breath is offensive: emell and taste
Impaired; there is a sensation of dizziness, with mental doprev
fion, a hacking cough and general debility. Only a few of the
above-named symptoms are likelv to te present in any one ca-c.
Thousands of cas?s annually, without aianifesting half of the
above symptoms, result in consumption, and end in tiio grave.
