I towld Mrs. Frayd so, as you wur lodgers here together." ”Lodger-s here together!" That. was all, though the girl's heart was throbbing with a. pain almost un- bearable. In positive dread of encountering Mrs. Frayd she took her cloak and hastened out upon the downs. only when the darkness gathered, re’turuâ€" ing to her room, exhausted by fu- tigne and hunger. And no one, through all her life, ever knew what those hours had been to her, in the sorrow which had so much of perâ€" plexity in it, and the fear which had a. \aguc intangible hope. Mrs. Frayd, with red and swollen eyelids, was yet. equal Lo detail and reiteration over relating the story which had now climbed to Harrack's Beacon, but even then. Derry, sitting dry-eyed to listen, felt she could not grasp the full horror of it. Steven Basset had, while intoxicat- ed in the billiardâ€"room at. the Athe- ling Arms. confessed to having been his cousin's murderer; had in the darkness stolen away from the hotel before the police began to watch it; had returned to llarrack's in the dark, and left. it early in the morn- ing to bathe; had been seized with cramp in the water. and must have been instantly drowned.

At nightfall she brought further news. The account of Ste-:- en’s random confession of having himself stabbed his cousin Miles had been told to old Mrs. Basset early in the day, and had given her a. shock from which she had not strength to rally.

"I see it will be [miter for me to go now, dear." “Everybody hated Miles.” cried Derry, in a. burst of uncontrollable passion. “I'm sure he was selfish. violent, heartlessâ€"0h, Ella, Elle." (with again the passionate contrition and prompt; self-reproach), “don't forgive me this time. Let me suffer. I don't deserve your sweet forbear- ance. Go away, I am not fit to be with you." But when Elle. thinking it wiswt’. turned to leave the room. Derry stood before her. and seizing both her hands in a tight long clasp. bent and kissed her on the lips, without a. word. . . Mrs. Frayd had so long listened for any sound from her young lodger's parlor, that when two hours had passed since she watched Miss Hope drive away. she got so uneasy that she would have invented an er- rand into the room, had not a Wel- come one just then presented itself. In the dusk of the February evening, she caught sight of Miss Basset. at- tended by the old butler from the Tower, walking across the slope of the downs, taking the short way from the Tower to the Beacon. With genuine delight Mrs. Frayd hastened to meet her, and to take her straight into Derry's room. Then, while she entertained the old butler in her own premises with much speaking and plenty of home-brewed ale, she busily prepared a festive tea. for the two young ladies, her copious discourse flowing glibly on while she inwardly rejoiced that Miss Basset's visit would enliven Miss Hope. But, to the good woman's surprise, she found, when she took in the tray. that it was Miss Hope who was en- livening Miss Basset. “Well: it'll do," she muttered~ to herself. as she closed the door again upon the fri nds “You can't pick a. person up and stay down yourself at the Same time.’ “I)erryâ€"â€"" Primrose Basset had scarcely seemed to hear the bravely gladdening wordsâ€"“what does this mean that Steven said?" “You do not. believe it?" DerrY'S eyes were flushing with a strange de- light, yet she could not acknowledge her own disbelief, for fear of throw- ing Primrose back into an old sor- row. “Come for a. ramble with me to- morrow, will you, Primrose?" Derry was saying fust then, “I believe we should find celandine no“? in the woods, as “ell as your namesakes. Why. even here the birds this morn- ing distinctly sung to me that spring was come. You will go with me. Primrose? You have had such a. sad, sad time." ' “No. It is impossible. Steven was dillcrent from most men; a. stern soli- tary man with odd opinions; but. not the man who could ever â€" even in a. passion â€" have done that. Some men could in a. passion. you know. Derry; they could, indeed, and not with the same sin. Though he is dead. and it may never be explained. nothing in the world could make me believe Steven did the deed." And so they sat and talked of other things untlil Derry could no! make the meal last. any longer, When_ seeing Primrose {all into a. long thought, she went to the piano, and began to play. just to make he! friend feel herself unobserved and al perfect liberty to be silent. A curious aching- sympathy fell upon DeTPY's hcaxt, in spite of these words being the utterance of her OWn thoughts; for she knew that Prim- rose. thinking thus, must. feel the Shadow under which she had lately lived to be heavier instead of lifted. "We will think of this later," she said, bravely, as she put Primrose to sit beside the little tea.ta.ble on the hearth. and set herself a. chair close to her friend. ‘ (m m; coxnxunn.) “0H, WAD SOME POWER THE GIF'I‘IE GIE US.

Dr. Talmage preached from the following text: ”And Solomon num- bered all the strangers that were in the land of Imael.”â€"2 Chroma". ii. 17. Strangers Spend the Days in the Stores and in Sight=$eeing, If, in the time when people travelâ€" led afoot or on camel hack, and vacil- lotion from city to city was seldom, it was important that Solomon recog-i nize the presence of strangers, how much more important now, in thesei days, when by railroad and steamboat the population of the earth are alâ€" ways in motion, and from one. year’s end to the other, our cities are crowd- ed with‘ visitors. Multitudes of them come into our morning and evening Services. I am conscious that Istand in the presence of many of them to- night. I desire more especially to speak to them. May God give me the right word and help me to utter it in the right way. There. have glided into this house those unknown to othetrs‘, whose his tory, if told, would be more thrilling than Booth’s tragedy, more exciting than Nila'son’s song, more bright than a spring morning, more awful than a wintry midnight. If they could stand up 'here and tell the story 01 their escapes, and their temptations, and their bereavements‘, and their disâ€" asters, and their victories, and their defeats, there would be in this house such a. commingling of groans and ac- clnmations as would make the place unendurable. r1?th hotels of this cowntry for beauâ€" ty and elegance are not surpassed by the hotels in any other land; but those that are most celebrated for hrilliancy of tapestry and mirror can- not give to the guest any costly apartment unless he can afford a parlor in addition to his lodging. The stranger, therefore, will generally find assigned to him a room, without any pictures. and perhaps any rock- mg chair! He will find a box of matches on. a. bureau, and an old newspaperleft by the previous occu- pant, and that will be about ALL THE ORNAMENTA'l‘ION. At seven o'clock in the evening, af~ ter having taken his repast, he looks over ‘his memorandum book of the! day's work. he will write a. letter to his home, and then a desperation will Seize upon [him to get out. You hear the great city thundering under your windows, and .you say: "I must: join that procession,” and in ten minutes‘ you have joined it. Where are you‘ going? “Oh," you say. "I haven't made up my mind yet." Better make up your mind before you start. Per- haps the very way you go now you will always go. Twenty years ago there were young men who rame down the Astor House steps’ and started out in a direction where they have been going ever Since, and ten million years from now, if you should meet them on the highway of eter- nity, you would find them going in the same direction, only faster.

Who is that city missionary going to take a. box in which to bury a child it Who are all these clusters of bright and beautiful faces? They are going to some interesting place of amusement. Who is the man who shoots across Broadway from alloy to alley? He is the murderer! He has whettcd his knife until it will cut a hair, and it jimgles in his filthy pocket. Who is that man going into the drug-store? That is the man who yesterday lost all his fortune on Wall street.

He is going to rob hie employer’s till. if the coast be clear. and no Christian young man meet him and take him off in anothâ€" er direction. I tell you that Broad- way, between seven and twelve o’clock at night between the Battery and the Union Square. is an Austerlitz, 9.

"Well,” you say, ".1 am going to the Young Men‘s Chris- tian Association rooms." Good.

Good. A walk through Broadway at eight o’clock at night, is interesting. edu- eating. fascinating. appalling, exhilar- ating to the last degree. Stop in front of that theatre and see who goes in. Stop at that saloon and see who comes out.

A great many who are consistent on the banks of the St. Lawrence. or the Alabama, or the Mississippi, are not consisbent when they get so far off as the East. River. I repeatâ€"though it is putting it on a low groundâ€"you cannot financially afford to break the Lord's day. It is only another way of tearing up your government securities. and putting down the price of goods. and- blow- ing up your store. I have friends who am all the time slicing off pieces hcAw 'to kleep the ‘Lqrd’s Day away _ -_n orf the Sabbath. They cut a little of the Sabbath off that and, and a little of the Sabbath off this end. They do not keep the twentyâ€"four hours. The Bible says: “Remem- Wul 5. .Lu\â€" “many "u; - . _,, her the Sabbath day. to keep it holy." I have good friends who are quite ac- customed to leaving Albany by the midnight train on Saturday night, and getting home before church. Now. there may be occasions when it is right, but GENERALLY IT IS WRONG. How. if the train should run of! the track into the ’North River? I hope your friends will not send to me to preach your funeral sermon. It would be an awkward thing for me to stand by your side and preach-you a Christian man killed on a rail-train travelling on a Sunday morning- “Remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy." What does that mean? It means twenty-four hours. A man times you a dollar. You don't want him to pay you ninety cents: you want the dollar. If God demands of. you twentyâ€"four hours out of. the meek. he means twenty-four hours and not nineteen. Oh. we want to keep vigilantly in this country, the American Sabbath. and not have transplanted here the German or the French Sabbath. If any of you have teen in Paris. you know that on Sabbath morning the vast popula- tion rush out toward the country with baskets and bundles. and toward night they come back tagged out. cross and intoxicated. May God pre- serve to us our glorious, quiet Am- erican Sabbaths. Now you are in this hotel. and it. is Sabbath morning. You wake up and say to yourselnf: “Whatever others may do. I am going to have a day of rest for my body and for my soul." Go out and find a. church somewhere. You will find something just suit- ed to your taste in architecture. mus- ic and preaching-something certainly between St. Alban's and the plain Quaker meeting-house. Go in. If the sacrament is spread. without being asked. if you are prepared, sit down at it. My children. coming into the dining-room. never ask me whether they ca'h sit at the table. They know they have a right to sit there; And when my father spreads a. table. I have a right to sit at it. It is my table as much. as his. Join in the singing, th1t is if the choir will let you! And listen to the preaching. and feel at home. Christ an the banks of the East River is just the same Christ as on the banks of the Rio Grande. And then hav- ing found the Sabbath day the best day in this city. find the Sabbath night the best night of all the week. I think it is. Saturday night is a. good night. “’9 come home and put off our toils, yet the limbs‘ach: and And so men come to the verge of city Life and say: "New. we'll look off. Come. young man, don’t be afraid.

THE HEAD IS HEAVY; but by the time sabbath night has come, we are rested. “’8 have been all day in Christian society, and ele- vated thoughts have been going through our mind, and when the evening service comes. and we as- semble in church. there is not a great deal of difference between earth and heaven. and the angehs of God flying to and fro can hardly»find the boundary line between the two worlds. and our departed kindred seem to come down through the twi- light. and we all clap our hands in glee and say: “It is good; it is good to be here." Socizty says it is evil proclivity on the part Of that young man. Oh, no, he was simply an explorer, and sacrificed his life in disocwery. A young man comes in from the coun- try bragging that nothing can do him any harm. He knows about all ttha'trick‘s at city life. “Why." he says. “didn’t I receive a circular in the country, telling me that remehow they found out Iwasa sharp busmess man, and if I would only send a cer- tain amount of money by mail or ex- exprcss. charges prepaid, they would send a. package, with which I could make a fortune in two months; but I didn’t believe it. My neighbors did. but I didn’t. Why, no man could take my money. I carry it in a pocket inside my vest. No man could take it. No man could cheat me at the {arc table. Dcn't I know all about the 'cue-box.’ and the ‘dealer’s- box.’ and the cards stuck together as though they were one. and when to hand in my checks? on. they can't cheat me. I know what [am about." \Vhilc at the same time, that very moment, such men are succumbing to the worst Satanic influences in the simple fact that they are going to observe. Now if a man or woman shall go down into a haunt of ini- quity for the purpose of reforming men and womenâ€"if. as did John How- ard. or Elizabeth Fry, or Van Meter, they go down among the abandoned for the purpose of saving souls; then they shall be God-protected and they will come out better than when they went in. But if you go on» this work of exploration merely for the purpose of satisfying a morbid curi- osity. I’ will take twenty per cent off your moral character. 0 strangers. \VELCOMIE TO THE GREAT CITY.

Go back to your homes and tell 'them how you met Christ hereâ€"the loving. patient, pazrdoning and sympathetic Christ. Who knows but the city which has been the destruction of so many may be your eternal redemption. Agood many years ago, Edward Stanley, the English commander. with his regi- ment. took a fort. The fort. was man- ned by some three hundred Spaniards, Edward Stanley came close up to the tort, leading his men, when aSpan- iard thrust at him a spear, intending to destroy his life ; but Stanley caught hold of the spear and the Spaniard in attempting to jerk the spear away from Stanley, lifted him into the bat- tlements. No sooner had Stanley tak- on his position on the battlemcnts, ithan he swung his sword, and his whole regiment leaped up after him and the fort \vas taken. So may it be with you. 0 stranger. These city 111â€" fluences‘ which have destroyed so many and dashed them down forever, shall be the means of lifting you up into the tower of God’s‘ mercy and strength, your soul more than con- queror through the grace of him I who hath promised an especial bene- diction to those who shall treat you well, saying: "I was a stranger and ye took me in."
