When you are dead -and it will not be long before you are-wh'en'you ere dead, will your child say: "1f there 00110 w118 agood Christian father, mine was one. If there ever was a good Christian moth- er, mine was one?" Will they say that after you are dead?

Besides that, I do not think that the scarlet line at all in- s l d- ' vof an e veal th in- terfered with th scapty. The aesurenee it gave of safe- ty must. besot added to the beauty of Lhe country.

And so, my friends, we go easily and unabashedly into sin, and all the doors are open; but If we get out at all it will be by being let down over precipices, wriggling and helpless, tbe strong grip above keepnig us from being dashed on the rooks beneath. It is easy to get into sin, young man. 11 is not so easy to get out of it. A young man, to -night, goes to the marble counter of the bar -room of the Fifth Avenue Hotel. He asks for a brandy smash -called so, I suppose, be- cause it smashes the men thn.t takes it. There is no intoxication in it. As the young man receives it he does'not seem to be at all excited. It does not give an'y glossiness to the eye. He walks home )n beautiful apparel, and all his prospects are brilliant. That drink i8 not going to destroy him, but it is the first step on a bad road. Years have passed on, and I see that young man after he has gone the. whole length of dissipation. it is midnight, and he is is a hotel -perhaps the very one where he took the first drink. Ile is in the fourth story, and the delirium is on him. He rises from tbe bell and comes to Lho window, and it is easily lifted; so he lifts it. Tben he pushes back the blinds and puts his foot on the window sill. Then he gives one spring, and the watchman finds his disfigured body unrecognizable, on the pavement. 0, ata a little -if he 1 waited of ho had only had come down on the scaulai; ladder Hint Jesus holds from the wall for him, and for you, and for me; but no, he made one jump, and Ova48 gone.

Frank Flarris in the Saturday Review offers an ingenious explana- tion of the poet's death. The com- mentators have mostly agreed to re- ject the anecdote that Shakespeare died of a fever resulting from"a merry meeting" with Ben Jonson and Michael Drayton at Stratford -on -Avon. The story was published by a clergyman who heart. of it about 90 years after the event. It has shocked into in- credulity a good many people wbo im- agine Shakespeare to have not been a man, but a demi-god. Nov, Mr. Frank Harris surmises F • i ea from a number of l passages in Shtkes P he4r's works that. he was a poor <irLnker, and had a great contempt for the drinking customs of his period. .But he was bored to death at Stratford, and when his friends came to see him he yielded to the temp- tation to drink too mu('.h, and paid the penalty. Jonson and Drayton vers none the 1'O.Cse for the debauch, but like his own '1 cot who. 1 e it killed the k Cassie, had "unhappy brains" for this form of indulgence. The theory is plausible enough, but then, lIr, llar- 1is spoilsit by arguing that Shakes- petra was not only a poor drinker, but also a, bad sleeper. The well-known speeches about sleep, Nature'5 sweet restorer, ars cited to show that the writer suffered from ins0mni1. They may mean no more than Shakespeare's o'bsorvation of the effects of sleepless- ness in others, just as the diatribes against drtnkies may prove nothing ex- cept ghat, while t4 groat toper him- self, this most sympathetic of all mor- tals could enter into the feelings of men who were constitutionally incap- able of carrying their liquor.
