So that there inuit be one continuous line of ' syMpat y with each . other's work. But whatever your vocation, if you have a multiplicity of engagements. if into your life there come losses and annoyances and perturbations as well as percentages and dividends, if you are pursued from Menday morning until Sat- urday night, and from January to Janu- ary by inxeorable obligation and duty, then you are a business man, or you are a business woman, and my subject is appropriate to your 01111111. We are under the impression that the moil and tug of business life are a prison into which a man is thrust, or that it Is an unequal 'trite where unarmed a man goes forth tss contend. I shall show you this morning that business life Was intended of God for grand and gloriollii education and diecipline; and _if • I 'hall be helped to may what I want to say I shall rub some of the wrinkles of care out of your brow and unstrap some of the burdens from your back. I am not talking of an abstraction. ' Thongls never having been in bnsiness life, I know all about business men. In my first parish at Belleville, N.J., ten .milee from New York, a large portion of my audience was made up of , New York Merchants. Then, I went te. Syracuse, a place or immense coinmerbial activity, and then I went to Philadelphia and lived leaf among the merohants of that oity, titan whom there are no better Men on earth, end f or 25 years I stood in my .Brooklyn pulpit, Sabbath by Sabbath, preiching to audiences the majority of whom were businese men and busioess women. It is not an abetraotion of which I speak, but a reality with which I am well acquainted. In the first place, I remark that bud - DEWS life was intended as a school of energy. God gives us s, certain amount of raw material out of which we are to hew our character. Our faculties are to be reset, rounded and eharpeneet up. Our young folks - having graduated from sollool or college need a higher education, that which the ra3p1ng collision of every- day life alone eau effect. Energy is wrought out onlyin the fire. After a man has been in business activity 19, 20, 80 years, his ener#y is not to be measured by weights or plum -nets er ladders. There is no height it cannot scale, and there is no depth l it cannot fathom, and there is no obstacle it cannot thrash. The elea•ing of Ste . Now, Cyr brother, why did God put you in that wheel of energy? Was it merely that you Might be a yardstiok to measure cloth, or a steelyard to weigh flour? Was it merely that You might be better qualified to chaffer and higgle? No. God placed you in. that school of energy that you Might be dexeloped for Chrietian weft. If the undeveloped 441- ente le the Christian churches of to -day were hrougat out and thoroughly ;horn- eseed, I hillier" the whole seri* would he converted to Ogd in 4 twelvemonth. There are se main, deep streams that are turning no mill wheels and that ar3 hammed to no factory bands. Now, God demands the best lamb out of every flock. He demands the richest sheaf of every harvest. He demands the best men of every generation.

Never so many temptations to sooun- drelism as now, ot a law on the statute book but has so e back door through which a miscrean can escape. Ah, hew many deceptions in the fabrio of the goods! So much lundering in commerc- ial life that if a an talk about living a life of complete commercial integrity there are those w o ascribe it to green- ness and lack of et, , Mom need of hon- esty now than ev r before—tried honesty, oomplete honesty Mere than in those times when bust ess was a plain affair and woollens w re woollens, and silks were silks and m n Were men.

There are men, however, who can say it, hundreds who can say it, thousands who can eay It. They are more honest than when they sold their first tierce of rice, or their first firkin of butter, because their honeety and integrity have been tested,. tried and opine out triumphant. But they remem- ber a time when they could have robted a partner, or have absconded with he funds of a bank, or sprung a snap judg- ment, or made a false assignment, or borrowed illimitably without any efforts at payment, or got a man into a sharp corner and 'fleeced him, But they never took one step on that pathway of hell fire. They oan say their prayers without hearing the chink of dishonest dollar.. They can read their Bible without think- ing of the time when with a lie on their soul in the custom house they kissed the book. They can think of death and the judgment that mines ' after it without any flinehing—:that day when all charla- tans and cheats, and jockeys and frauds shall be doubly • damned. It does not make their knee" knock together, and it does not make their teeth chatter to read "as the partridge sitteth on eggs and hatcheth them not, so he that getteth riches. and not by right; shall leave them in the 'midst of his days, and at his end shall ne a fool."' What a school of --integrity business life is If you have ever been tempted to let you integrity cringe before present . itdvantage, if you have ever wakened 11D in some embarrassment and said, "Now, I will step a little aside from the right path and' no one will know it, and I will' come all right again, it le only once," That only once has ruined tens of thoussnas of men for this life and blasted their souls for eternity. . A Slave's Message. A merchant in Liverpool got a A6 Bank of England note, and, holdlog it U p toward the light, he saw some inter - lineations in what seemed red ink. He finally deciphered the letters and found out that the writing had been made by a slave in -Algiers, saying in substance, "Whoever gets this bank note will please inform my brother, John Dean, living near Carlisle, that I am a slave of the Bey' of Algiers." The merchant sent word, employed governmentofficers ana found who this man Was spoken of in this bank bill. After awhile the man was rescued, who for 11 years had been a, slave of the Bey of Algiers. He was immediately emancipated, but was so worn out by hardship and exposure be soon after died. Oh, if some of the bank bills that come through your hands could tell all the scenes through which they have passed, it would be a tragedy eclipsing any drama of Shakespeare, mightier than King Lear or Macbeth! As I goon in this subject, I Ain, im- pressed with the importance of our ha-v- ing more sympathy with businese men. Is it notit shame that we in our pulpits do not Oftener preach about their atrug- glos, their trials and their temptations? Men who toil with the hand are not apt to be very sympathetic with those who toil with the brain. The farmers who raise the corn and the oats and the wheat sometimes are tempted to think that grain merchants have an esey time and get their profits without giving any equivalent. Plato and Aristotle were so opposed to erchigaidise that they deolared commerce to be 'the curse of nations, and they ad- vised 'that cities be built at least ten miles from the seacoast. But you and I know there are no more industrious or highminded men than those who move in the world of traffic. &gine of them carry burdens heavier than hods of briok, and are exposed to sharper things than the east wind, and climb mountains higher than the Alps or Himalayas, and if they are faithful Christ vvili at last say:to them: "Well done, good and taithful servant. Thou bast been faithful over a few things. I will make thee tiller over many things. Enter thou into the joy of thy Lord." Our Everyday Martyrs. We talk about the martyrs of the Pied- mont Valley, and the xnartyrs among the Scotch highlands, and the martyrs at Oxford. There are just as oertainly mar- tyrs of Wall street and State street, martyr" of Fulton street and Broadway, martyrs of Atlantio street and Chestnut street, going through'hotter firee, or hav- ing their necke under sharper axes. Then it behooves tug to banish all fretfulnees from our lives, if. this subject be true. We look back to ,the time when we were at wheel, and we remember the rod, and we remember the hard tasks, and we complained grievously, but now we see it was for the best. Huainan life is a school, and the tasks are hard and the ohastieements sometimes are very fri"- ous. But do not complain. The otter the fire the better the refining. There are men before the throne of God this day In triumph who on earth were cheated out of everything but their coffin. They were sued, they were imprisoned for debt, they were throttled by constable' with a whole pack of writs, they were sold out by the sheriffs, they had to 00112- , promise with their creditor, thgry had to make aesignments, Their dying hours were annoyed by the sharp ringing of the doorbell by sense impetuous creditor who thought it war outrageous and im- pudent that a man should dare to die before he paid the last half dollar._ I had a friend whci bad many misfort- unes. Eeerything went againet him. He had good business capacity "and was of the best of morals, but he was one of those men such as you have sometimes seen, for whom everything seems to go wrong. His life became to ltilia a plague. When I heard he was deed, I said, "doted —got rid of the sheriffs!"

AN OLD LANDMARK, Dr. Johnson's Meuse in Load•st tge Itentoved to Make Way for Mere Modern Dereillego. Harnpetead, the northern suburb London, ; which is to well known all over the world for. its historic) and literary associatiOns, boasts many houses which were at one time residences of Mee whose names hisve been handed down in his- tory. Perhaps the bast known of these houses was that occupied by Dr. John- son, and in which he wrote his famous - poem on the "Vanity of Human Wishes" in imitation of the Tenth Satire of Juvenal. This house is about to be destroyed. As has been the case with se many land- marks, it must be pulled down to make way for more modern structures, Hamp- stead and Highgate are both famous in the literary annals of the great city of which they were once outlying suburbs, reached by 'Country lanes and breezy up- lands. It was while staying in Hamp- stead during the. summer of 1748 that Dr. Johnson wrote his famous poem, and it lies been sold that thez days 'pelt in that house niue$ have been the happiest of -ble none 4o0 110,707 life. &odors id the grim estellosopherei works W ii nnn 16 hard to separate th is man from his well known haunts in Fleet street; Ms whole life seems so pervaded with he atmos- phere of his favorite coffee ho1 fie that it requires a 'severe stretch of the imagine. - tion to picture him enjoying himself among the trees and flowers of the coun- try and itis doubtful if nature did give him much enjoyment. It is rectirded that whenever the opportunity I differed, he hastened te the only, to (31114 \Vial the boon companions who have (!joree down to history in connection with his .naino. When his poem, "The Vanity of 'Hu- man Wiehes," appeared in 1749, his name, according to one of bis biograph- ers, "broke out upon mankind with a. degree of luster which promised a tit- umph over all his difilcultiee."

He seized the moment for the production of his tragedy of "Irene," and it was brought out at Drury Lane on the 6th of February, 1749. 14 ran for 13 nights and: bus never been seen on the stage since. , The doctor: attended the theatre every night behind the scenes, wearing for the occaslon a handsome waistcoat and a gold laced bat. "But," said he afterward, with great graeity, "I soon laid aside my gold laced bat, lest it should make Mt proud," and he further observed that "when in that dress he could not treat people with the flame ease; as when in his usual plain !clothes." But the doctor's vanity must have suf- fered severely, for tne tragedy was uninter- esting. and the nubile would not nttend. "Irene." Waff relegated to tlse shelf for home reading, and as one of the com- mentators of the day said, "In the .closet the propriety -of its sentiments, the rich- ness of the language and the general harmony of the whole composition we're universally admired." • . "When Johnson writes tragedy" said Garrick, "cleclaanation roars and passion sleeps; when Sbakepeare wrote heldipped his pen in his own heart". 1 But the failure of his plea; did not appear' to disconcert the philosoph c doc- tor.

The house in which he wr te the "Vanity of Human Wishes" is a ose to the entrance to the Priory, and °swell tells us that the "Town" as well as that poem was,written there. Thornbury re- marks that neither of those works bears 3nuch trace of the inspiration f the Hampstead muses, "for the fact t4tat the burly doctor preferred society to's enery, and with Ilse winter returned to Fleet street and presented himself one mere among his friends, in Whose °gimp ny he felt more at home than amid the breaes • of Hampstead, and whose oonver aticins gs,ve him more gratification t an the songs of nightingales." It Was not long after his resideco in this house that Dr. Johnson 1054 lis svife. Many years later when one if his friends asked him if he had ever noWn what it was to have a wife the d,oetor re- plied with a faltering voice, "Sir, I have known what it was to have a wife and have known what it was to lose a wife. It had almost broke my heart." EASTERN WASHERWOMEN. Rivers and Creeks, Paddles and inane. Tkeir Implements. The hardest worked washerwomen In the world are the Coreans. They haste to Wash about a dozen dresses for their husbands, and inasmuch as every mon wears pantaloons or drawers 60 bagiry thaktbey come up to his nook like those of a clown, they hare plenty to do, The washing is usually done in cold water, and often in running strattine. The illothei Iwo pounded with paddlei until the shine like a shirt front fresh from a it eh ese laundry. Int Japanese rip their garment' apart for every washing, and they iron their alethps by spreading them on4a float board and leaning this up agal st the house to dry. Tho sun takes the wrinkles out of tip clothes, and some of tbetn have quite a luster. The Japanese vtoman does her washing out of doors, Her wash- tub is not more than six inches high and Is about as big around as the ayerage dishpan, She sometime' uses Japanese soap, which is full of grease, and works away with her bare feet. The Chinese girls do their washing in much the same way. The washing in Egypt is usually! done by the men. The Egyptian washerman stands on the banks of the Nile and slaps tho wet clothes, with a noise like the shots of a pistol, on the smooth stones at the edge of the running water, and smell fellah women.as wnsh pound the ditt out of their clothes in the S3M 0 way.
