Responsibilities of Parents—Pr per is- , eipline and Wise Train's' , With Person an Exam pie, Necessary to Save the Young Froin the Rangers and TemptationsWhich Surround Thes Washington, March 25. —Th is d co u r se of Dr. Talmage will interest young men,- while it is full of advice and encouragement to parents who are trying to bring up their children aright; text, Proverb's 10, i, "A wise son inaketh a glad father; but a fool- •ish son is the heaviness of his moth - In this graphic avay Solomon sets forth the idea that, the good or evil behavior of children blesses or blights the parental heart. 11 know there are persons who seen] to -have no ,especial interest in the welfare of their chil- dren. The father says: "My boy must take the risks I took in life. If he turns put well, all right; if he turns out ill, he will have to bear the consequences. He has the same chance that I had. He must take care of himself." A shepherd might just ae well thrust a lamb into a den of lios ancl Say, • 1 e Iambs, take care o :Iyourself." Near a all the brute creation are kind enough to look after their young. I was going through a woods, and I heard a shrifV-cry in a nest.

Christ comes hrough all our house- holds to -clay, ad he says: "You take care of the boiiies of your children and the minds f your children. What are you dolt for their inamortal souls?" I read of a ship that found- ered. • A lifeboat was launched. Many of the passengers were in the water. A mother with one hatad beating the waves and the. other hand holding her little child out towards the lifeboat cried out, "Save my child!" And that impassioned cry is the one that finds an echo in every parental heart in this la.nd to -day. "Save my child!" That man Out there says: '1 have - :fought my own; way through life. I have got along'. tolerably , well. 1 The -World has buffeted me, and I have had many a hard struggle. It does- n't make much !difference what hap- pens to me, but save my child,",You see, I have a subject of stupendous import, and I am going, as God may help me, to show the . cause of parent- al solicitude and then the alleviations of that solicitude. . The first cause of parental solici- tude, I think, arises from the,tmper- feetion Of parents on their own part. We all somehow want our childreuto avoid our ,faults. We .hope that if we have any excellences they I will copy them, but the probability is they will copy our faults and omit our excellences. Children, are very apt 'to be echoes of - the ,Pa.rental life. Some one meets . a lad in the back street, finds him smoking and says: "Why, I am astounded at you: What -would your father say if he knew this? Where did you get.that cigar?" "Oh, I picked it up -on the street." "What would your father say and your mother say if they knew thhs?" "Oh," he replies, "that's nothing, My father smokes." There is not one of us to -day who would like to lia.ve on!' children copy all our example. And that is the cause of solicitude,en the part of all of us. We have so many faults we 610 not want theia. copied and stereotyped in the lives and characters of those Who came af- ter us.: Then solicitude arises frets. our con- scious insufficiency and- unwisdora of discipline: Out of 20 parents there may be one parent who understands how thoroughly and skillfully to dis- cipline; perhaps not more than one out of 20. We, nearly all of us, err on. One -side or on the other. Here is a father who says:. "I am -going, to bring up my children right. My, sons shall know nothing but religion, siaall see nothing but religion.".. They are routed out at 6 o'clock in the morn.- ing to recite• the Ten Commandments. They are wakened up from the sofa on Sunday night to recite the West- minster catechism. Their bedroona walls are covered with religious pie - tures and quotations of Scripture, and when the boy looks for the day of the month he looks for it in a re- ligious almanac. 11- a minister comes to the house, he is requested to take the boy aside and tell him what a great sinner he is. It is religion, moraing, noon and night. Titne passes on, and the parents are waiting for the return of the son at night. It is 1 9 o'clock, it is 10 o'clock, it is 11 o'clock, it is 12 o'clock, it is lialf-pasts 12 o'clock. Then they hear a rattling- of the night key, and tieorg-e comes in and hastens upstairs lea he be accosted. His fa - they says, "George, where have you been?" Ile says, "I have been out." Yes, he has been out, and he has been down, and he has started on the broad road to ruin for this life and ruin for the life to come, and the 'fa- ther says to his wife: "Mother, the 'Ten Comm, inm ients are a failure, No use of V'estxuinster catechism. I have done my very best -for that, boy. Just see how he has turned out." Ah! my friend, you stuffed that boy with re- ligion. You had no sympathy with innocent hilaritie,s. You had no com- mon sense. A. man of midlife said to me: "I haven't much desire for re- ligion. My father was as good a man as ever livedi but he jarnined religion down mar throat when I Was a boy er sus: ".vont.. th is time." A father sat* 11 ihave seen so many. that Make Mistakes by too great severity in the rearing of the children. Now,. I willi let my boy as he pleases.

Go when you wa and come back when you want t Have a geod time. Go it!" Give boy plenty of money and ask him n what ha does with 'it, and you • hie 'was straight to Perdition. 11 tiller awhile the lad thinks he•ougl t6 have a still larger supply. He li been tresated, and he must treat. H must have wine simpers. . There a larger and larger expenses. - After awhile. one day a mesteng froin the bank over the way calls and Says tol the father of the hous hold of which am speaking: `"Th officers of the tank would like t have you step over a minute." T father steps over, and 'a bank ,offic says, "Is that your check?" "No, he says, "that is not my check. never make an in that way. never put a curl to the rY' in tha way. That is not my Writing; tha is not my signature; that is counter- feit. Send for the, police." "Stop," says the bank officer, "your son wrote that." Now the father and mother are waiting for the- son to come home at night. It is 12 o'clock, it is half - past 12 o'clock, it is 1 o'clock. The son comes through the hallway. The father says: "My son, what does all this mean? • I gave you every oppor- tunity, I gave You all the oney you wanted and here in my ol days I find that you have become a pend- thrift,a libertine and a sot." The son says: "Now, father, what is the use of your talking, that- way? You told me to go it, and I just took your suggestion." and so to strike the mediuni -between severity and too great leniency, to strike the hap- py mediu.m between the two and to train our children for God and for heaven is the anxiety of every intelli- gent parent. . .

A note was in contest, and a question was raised as e," to the genuineness of the signature. r'Y George P. Bissell was called as a hand - 0111 writing expert. He' testified that the fiv,e signature on the note was a genuine sig - 01, nature. For the purpose of testing his ea, ability as a handwriting expert while on out the witness stand he was given a piece of sel paper and asked to write his name three not: times. A blank space was left between is the signatures. Mr. Bissell did not know ea- for what purpose he was asked to write It - his name, and after the paper had been ith handed to the lawyer who examined him VO. it was given by the lawyer to an expert es" with the pen. The expert wrote the re name of Mr. Bi sell on the paper three this eves done Mr. Bis - to the witness stand, ntaining the six signa- to him. He was asked signatures that he had deavored to 'do so, but ignatures he picked out vritten by himself was his . Writing. T ie three selected were written by the pin expert. Reference was made during the con- versation to a rial which occurred in until I got disgusted with it, and haven't wanted any of it since." That father erred on one side. • Theti the digcipline is an entire fail- ure in many hoeseholds because the father pulls one way and' the mother pulls the other way. • The father 'says-, "My son, told you if I ever found you guilty of falsehood again I would chastise you, and I am go- ing to keep my promise."

There is also a cause of great soli- citude sometimes because our young people are surrounded by so many temptations. A castle may not be taken by a straightforward siege; but suppbse there be inside the -castle an.. enemy, and in the night he shoves back. the bolt and swings open the door. Our young folks have foes without, and they have foes within., Who does not understand it? Who is the man here who jai not aware of the fact that the young people of , this day have tremendous tempta- tions.. Some man will come, to the young people and try to persuade them that purity and h'onesty and uprighteous- n-ese are a sign of weakness. Some man will take a draruat'c attitude, and he will talk to the oung man, and he will say: "You must break away from _ your mother's apron strings. You must get out of that puritanical straightjacket. It is time you were your oWn master. You are verdant. You are green-. You are unsophicated. Come with me ; I'll show. you the world. I'll show you life. Come with ine. You need to see the world. It won't hurt you." After awhile the young man says: "Well, I can't ;afford" to be odd. I can't afford 0 sacrifice all my friends. I'll just go and see for myself.", Farewell to innocence, which once gone never fully „comes back. Do not, be tinder the delusion that because yOu repent of ein you get rid forever Of its consequences. I say farewell to innocence, which once gone never fully comes hack.

In the jets of the gaslight the fiery tongue of the worm that never died. Two o'clock in the morning, and now they are sound asleep in their chairs. Land- lord comes around and says: "Wake up, wake up! Time to shut up !" "What?" says the young man. "Time to shut up?". Push them all out into the night air. Now they are going home: 'Going home!

The general opinion is that it is an easy matter to identify a signature, and there are few people whs would not say with positiveness that thy eould identify their own signatures und r almost any condi- tions. A discussion by some lawyers the other day make* it ippe&r that a Iperson cannot at all times be sure of his signa- ture, because of the nicety to which the forger has brought his art. One of the lawyers said that no man could safely- go upon the witness stand and shwear that a signature shown him was his signature. He claimed that in the identification of a signature a person . was largely influenced in his decision by the quality or the paper upon which the signature. Was written and by what pre- ceded or followed the signature. If the mane was written on a blank piecelof pa- per, like that in common use, the lawyer claimed that a witness' could not 'swear with any degree of positiveness that the signature was or was not his own. In support Of his argument the swyer said that handwriting experts clai4i that no person can write his name twiee ex- actly alike, and that in any 1i4ation where signatures are in dispute and two signatures appear that are exactly I alike, ate expert e will monounce one of them a War." The conclusion which the lawyers came to when the discussioi ended was that it is not such an easy matter, to identify signatures as many people imagine.— Hattford Courant Knurl Gum, New Zealand is a country rich in the great variety of its forest trees—most of them useful, all beautiful, but none to compare -with kauri Pine either for state- ly beauty or connnercial value. This no- ble tree attains a height of nearly 200 feet and a diameter of 15 or more. Its stein, or barrel, as the bushmen call it, rises from 30 to 70 feet without knot or limb and then branches into an even head of dark green foliage. At the place where it forks the stem is almost the same in circumference as it is six feet from the ground, and as it has a bark col- ored in various shades of Ted or brown it gives one the impression of a beautiful pillar at the entrance to some woodland temple. Every tree is surrounded by a mound of fibrous soil consisting of, qcayed leaves, bark, etc., the accumulation of centuries, for the kauri is extremely slow in its growth. These mounds rise from two to six feet in height, according to the age of the tree. B markable thing about th quantity of resinous gum froth eeery part of it.

A writer says: "I happen to know a case which illustrates forcibly how easy an accident might have affected the whole course of history. A few engineers, of whoni Sir Sevens Edwards is the only enrvivor, composed the party which blew up the docks at Seeastopol. There was a shaft 30 feet deep, with a gallery run- ning herisentaily from it. ".ikt the bottom of this shaft, just in- side the gallery, steed one Gordon, after- ward of China and Khartum with a lighted candle in kis hand. The powder was lowered in Seer barrels, and one of these slipped front the slings, fell to the bottom...of the shaft and broke up, so that Gordon wife left standing up to his knees in gunpowder with a lighted candle in kis hand. "That there was no premature ,explo- sion was a miracle, and if that miracle had not been worked the odds are that a differeat &yeasty would be ruliag n Chi- na mad that Lord Kitchener woul4 never have kad the epportunity of raa eg his famous march to Khartum."
