De britt '1'aliingo, D.D., proao1ed
at the Taborneest• today. l:Ie took
for his text Pruvorbs xiii, 20 : "A
aompauioa of feels anal! bo dos-
troyed.'• Following le a verbatim
report of the eeruion :
"May it plcaso the court," said a
ounviel cat criminal, when asked if ho
bad ally thing to say before senteueo
of (lentil was passed upon him,
"may it please the court, bad comp•
any has boon may ritiu. I received
the bleesiugs of good parents, amcl,
in return, promised to avoid all evil
aanociations, Had I kept my prom-
ise I should have boon saved this
obamo, and boort freo from the load
of guilt that hauge round we like a
vulturo, threatening to drag me to
justice for critutle yet unrevealed. I,
who once moved in the (last circles
of society, and have been the frusta
of distinguished public leen, am
lost, and all through bad company,"
This is but une of the thousand
proofs that the companion of Nola
shall be destroyed. It is the invari-
able rale. There is a well man in
the wards of a hospital, where there
are a hundred people sick with ship
fever, and lie will not be so apt to
take the disease as a good man
would bo apt to be smitten with
amoral distemper, if shut up with
iniquitous companions,
Iu olden times priso11ere were
herded together in the same dell,
but each ono learned the vines of all
the cuiprits, so that, iustead of be-
ing reformed by incarceration, the
day of liberation turned them out
upon eoeiety beasts, not men,
We may, in our places of brei•
noes, be compelled to tallc to and
mingle with bad men ; but he who
deliberately obo08ea to associate
himself with vicioue people as en-
gaged in carrying on a courtship
with a Delilah, whose shears will
clip off all the looks of his strength,
and he will be tripped into perdition.
Sin is catching, is infectious, is
epidomie. I will let yon look over
the millions of people now inhabit-
ing the earth, and I challenge you
to show me a good man who, after
one year, has made choice and con.
sorted with the wicked. A thous-
and dollars reward for ono such in.

character may be, associate with
gamblers and you will become a
gambler. Clan with burglars, and
you will become a burglar. Go
among the unclean and you wilt be-
come uneiean. Not appreciating
the truth Utley text, many a young
man has been deetroyed. He wakes
up some morning in the great oily,
and knows no one except the person
into whose employ lie luta entered.
AB he goes into the store all the
clerks mark him, measure him and
discuss bun. Tho upright young
men of the store wish him well, but
perhaps wait for a formal introduc-
tion, and even then have some clsli-
caoy about inviting him into their
associations. But tho bad young
men of the store at the first oppor•
tunaty approach and offer their seta
vices. They patronize him. They
profess to know all about the town.
They will take him everywhere
where he wiebas to go --if he will
pay the expenses. for if a good
young man and a bad young man
go to some place where they ought
not, the good young man bee invari-
ably to pay the charges. At the
moment the ticket is to bo paid for,
or the champagne settled for, the
bad young titan fuels around in his
pockets and says : "I have forgot.
ten my pooket•book." In forty
h
oars after the youngman
Dight h
has entered the store the bad fellows
of the establishment slap him on
the back familiarly, and, at his
stupidity in taking certain illusions,
say : "My young friend you tvill
have to be broken in," and they
immediately proceed to break him
in. Young man, in the name of
God, 1 warn you to beware bow you
let a bad man talk familiarly with
you. If each a one alae you on
the shoulder familiarly, turn round,
and give him a withering look, na-
111 the wretch crouches in your
presence. There is no monstrosity
of wickedness that can stand uta
abashed ruder tho glando of purity
and boner. God kerpa the light•
uinge of;heaven in bis own scabbard,
and no human arm can wield thorn;
but God gives to every young man
a lightning that he may use, and
that is the lightiing of an honest
eye. Those who have boon close
obseryers will riot wonder why I
give Warning to young mon, and
say : "Boware of bad company,"
I urge you to shun the compan•

a while you will lose your piece,
and afterwards your respectability,
and last of all your soul. Idleness
is next door to villany. Thieves,
gamblers, burglars, shop -lifters and
assasius aro made from the olaes
who leave nothing to do. When
the police go to hunt up and arrest
a Culprit they seldom go to look in
upon busy clerks or in the busy
carriage factory, but they go among
the groups or idlers. Tho play is
going on at the theater, when sud-
denly therein a ecafile in the top
gallery. What is it 2 A police-
man coming in, and, leaning over,
has tapped on the shoulder a young
man, saying : "I want kou, air,"
Ho has not worked during ' the day,
but somehow has raked together a
shilling or two to get into tho top
gallery. He is an idler. The man
011 his right hand is an idler and the
man on his left hand is an idler.
Are you fond of pictures 2 If so
I will show you one of the works of
an old master. Isere it is : "I went
by the field of the slothful, and by
the vineyard of the man void of an-
derstendiug ; and lo 1 it was all
grown over mall thorns, and nettles
had covered tho taco thereof, and
the sten° wall was broken down.
Tben I saw and considered well. I

slumber, a little folding of the

know of another sentence is the
Bible more explosive than that. It
first hisses softly like the flues of a
caunou, and at last bursts like a
.fifty-four pout:der. Tho old pro•
verb was right : "The devil tempts
most men, but idlers tempt the
devil."
A young man Came t0 a man of
ninety years of age and said to him :
"How have you made out to live so
long and bo so well 2" The old
man took the youngster to an orah
ard, and, pointing to sotto large trees
full of apples, t sa11 : "I planted
those trees when I was a boy, and
do yon wonder that now I am per-
mitted to gather the fruit of them 2"
We gather in old age what we plant
to our youth. Sow to the wind,
aid we reap the whirlwind. Plant
in early life the right kind of a
Christian character, and you will
eat lumens fruit in old age, and
gather these harvest apples in eteru
it Again : I urge you to avoid the
perpetual pleasure -seeker. I believe
in recreation and amusement. I
needit as mioh as I need bread,
and' go to my daily exercise with as

edge oxgniaitely purpled, but, with
voioe that jars the earth, it deolaree:
" Z go to water the green fields,"
The wild flowers under tho fence

But the life business of pleasure
seeking always makoa in the end a
criminal or a sot. George Brum-
mall was smiled upon by all Eng.
]and, and his lite was given to
pleasure. He danced with peeress-
es, and swung a round of mirth,
and wealth, and .applause, until

tion, and ruined of soul, he bogged

Such men will crowd around
your Beek or counter or work benab
and seek to decoy you off. Cast
them oat from your company. Do
not be intimate with thele. Always
be polite. There is no demand that
you ever sacrifice politeness. A
young man accosted a Christian
Quaker with : '01d chap, how did
you make all your •money 7' The
Quaker replied : 'By dealing in an
article that thou mayest deal In if
thou wilt—civility.' Always be
courteous, but at the same time
firm. Say no as if you meant it.
Have it underatood iu store, shop
and street, that yon will not stand
in tho oompauionship of the skeptic,
the idler, tho pleasure seeker.
Rather than enter the conspanion
ship of such, accept the invitation
to a better feast. The promises of
God are the fruits. The harps of
Heaven are the made. (Musters

Decide this soon, oh, young man,
what direction you will take. Thera
tomos aucb a momeut of final de-
cision—why not this ? Ono night 1
saw a young man at a street corner,
evideutiy doubting as to which
direction he had better take, hie hat
lifted high enough so that you
could see he had an intelligent fore.
heart, and he had a stout chest and
a robust development. Splendid
youug man. Cultured young man.
Why did he atop there while so
many were going up and down ?
The faotie, that every young man
has a good angel and a bad angel
struggling with that young man's
soul at the corner of the street.
'Come with me,' said the good
angel ; '1 will taste you home ; I
wilt spread my wing over your
pillow ; 1 will lovingly escort you
all through life under eupernatural
protection ; 1 will bless every dap
you drink out of, every couch you
rest on, every doorway you enter;
I will consecrate your tears When
you wasp, your sweat when you
toil, and at last. l . will hand over
your grave to the bright angel of a
Christian resurrection. In answer
to your father's petition and your
mother's prayer, I have been sent
of the Lord out of Heaven to be
your guardian spirit. Come with
me,' said the good angel, in a voice
of unearthly symphony. It Was
muaio like that which drops from a
lute of Heaven when a seraph
breathes on it. "No, no," said the
bad aegoI, 'come with me; I have
something hotter to offer ; tho wines
I pour aro from chalices of be-
witching carousal ; tido dance I

there was n grinding of Locke and a

on Dither side )f the road changed
from gardens to deserts, and the
Juno air became a cutting Deeamber

bad angel turned to sackcloth, and
the eyes of light ne0am0 hollow with
hopeless grief, and the fountains,
that at the etart had tossed with
wine, poured forth babbling tears
and foaming blood, and on tho
right side the road there was a
eerpent, and the mail said to the
bad angel : 'What is that serpent ?'
and the answer wise : 'That 1s the
serpent of stinging remorse.' On
the lett side the road there was a
hon, and the man asked the bad
angel : "What is tbat lion ?" and
the answer was : "That ie the lion
of all devouring deapair." A vulture
flew through the sky, and the man
asked the bad angel : 'What is that
vulture ?' and the answer was :
'That is the vulture waiting for the
carcasses of the elate.' And then
the man tried to throw off of him
the folds of something that had
wound him round and round, and

I trusted in what you said at the
