Only one aut of a thousand illustrations vim that of the fact that **a com? panion of foola Khali Le destroyed" lt la an invariable rule. Here ia a hospital with a h" men down with the ship fever, litre i-i a healthy maa who goes into it. H?- does not BO certainly catch the disease as a good man will moral distemper if he consents to bc shut up with the vicious and the sbandoned. In the pris,.,,,, of the olden time lt waa the custom to put the prisoners in a cell together, and 1 am sorry to say it is the custom ?til] In some of mir prisons; so that when thi- day of liberation conies, the men, instead of bein ir reformed, are. turned out brutes, not men. each one having learned the vices of all the rest We may In our worldly occupation be obi I gad to talk to and commingle with bad people, but he B tardy chooses that kind of Bl tlon ls carrying on u courtship with n Delilah which will slv ar thc locks of his strength, snd he will be : into perdition. Look over nil tho millions of the race, and you cannot show me a Bingle instance where a man voluntarily MBOCiftted with the bad for ..ne yt ar Bl d his integrity. Sin is catching; it is in? fectious; lt is epidemic. .A young man wukes up in one of our great cities knowing un!; gentlemen of the firm into service he has entered In the morn? ing he enters the store, and nil the clerks mark him. measure him, dig im. Thu bad clerks of I tablishiuent, the good clerks of that establishment, stand In some relation to him. The good clerks will wish him well, but they will wait for a for? mal Introduction, and even after they have had th* introduction they are very cautious ns to whi shall call him into their association before they know him very I But the bad young men in tl tablishment all gather around him. Tliey patronise him, they oiler to show him everything that there is in the city on one condition?that he will pay the expenses, for it Hlmiys happens so when a good young man and a bad yoting man go together to a place of evil entertainment?the good young man always has to pay the charge*. Just at the ti; ticket is tn be paid for or the cham? pagne bill ls to be settled the bad young man will affect embarrassment snd feel around in his pockets and say: "Well, well, really 1 huve for? gotten my pocketbook." Tn 4 s. hours after this Innocent yoting man has entered thc st..re the bad young men will gather around him. slap him on the shoulder with familiarity, and. if he is stupid in not bein-j- able to take certain nil will say: "Ah. my young Wend, you will have to bc broken in." And forth? with they go to work to "break him in." Oh, young man, let no fallen j man slap you on the shoulder familiar? ly] Turn around and give a withering glance that will make the wretch cower in your presence. There is no mon? strosity of wickedii->ss that can stand before the glance of purity and honor, (?od keeps the lightnil "-en in his own scabbard, anti no human may them, but li. yoting man a lightning which 1 ? use. and that li laing of an honest eye. Anybody thal understands the temptations of our Treat knows the nee of one sermon Uki in which I try to enforce the thought that "a companion of finis shall be destroyed." And. first.

I know it. but the times of dullness in business rre the times when nun ought to bc thoroughly en? gaged in improving their minds and enlim hearts.

Then I saw and ered it well. I looked np and received Instruction. Yet a little ti little slumber, a little folding of the banda to sic. : di thy pOVCrt, >?* one that travtleth and thy want as an armed man." There ia no mora ? passage In all the Bible than that, lt firs! be? ging to hiss like the fuse of a cannon and then bursts like a M-pounder. The old proverb was true: "The devil tempts most men. but Miers tempt tal ie devil!" Therefore seel something to do. If no worldly busi? ness offers, then, In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, go ont on Christian toil, and the Lord will blocs you. and the bord will help you. Again I Counsel you, a'-oi'l the plcas . the man whOBB entire business it is to seek for recreation and amusement. I believe in the amusements of the world so far as they are Innocent. T could not live without 'hem. Any man of sanguine temperament must have recreation or die. And yet the amusements and re? creations of life must administer to hard work. They are only prepara? tive for the occupation to which dod has called us. God would not have given us the ca? pacity to laugh if he did not some? times in tc ic I us to indulge it. (.od hath hung in sky and set in wave and print? ed on grass many a roundelay. Hut all the music ami the brightness of the natural world were merely intended ,s for Hie earnest work of life. Th.- thundercloud has edges exquisite? ly purpled, but it jars the mountain as )t says: "1 ii'iiie down to water the fields." The Howers standing lintier the fence look gay and beautiful, but they B?y: "We stand here to refresh the husbandmen nt the nooning." The brook frolics and sparkles and foams. but it says: "I g" to baptise thc I go to slake the thirst of the bird; I tum the wheel of thc mill; in my crys? tal cradle I rock mtickshaw anti water lily; I play, but I work." book ont for the mun who (days nnd never works. Look out for that entire business is to play bali or sail a yacht or engage In any kind of merriment. These things are nil beau? tiful and grand in their places, but 'hey become the chief work of life they become a man's destruction. Brummel was admired <>f all I. lie danced with pet i and went n round of mirth and folly, until after awhile, exhausted of | ; of reputation, blasted ol cr. iletiar . deliberate opinion that be ? a dog's life waa better than ? ? mere plensurists will come around ..lin your Work, and they v, ill try to take you away. They have lost their i ? ? i ..ur place? Then I] he one of them.

And as In delirium i f his awful death he clut- hi and presses it to bis bps, th,- dr . ing on his tongue will begin to and hiss with the adders of an t poison. Again, beware of the Sabbath breakers. Tell me h ? j man sp- mis his Sabbath, and 1 will ? what are his prospi and I will tell you what are his pros? pects for the eternal world. God has thrust Into our busy life a sacred duty when wc are to iool | souls. It is exorbitant after giving six days to thc feeding and the clot bing of thew perishable bodies that God should de? mand one day for the feeding and thn clothing of the Immortal soul bodies are seven-day clocks, and they need to be wound up. and if they are not wound up they run down into thc grave. No man can continuously break the Sabbath and keep his p ul and mental health. Ask those aged men, and they will tell you thej knew men who continuously broke the Sabbath who did not fail either in mind, body or moral principle. A man? ufacturer gave this a* his experience. Ile said: "I owned a factory on the Lehigh. Everything prospered. I kept the Sabbath, and eve. ] on well. But ono Sabbath ; bethought myself of anew shutl ? I thought I would invent that shuttle before sunset, and I refused sll food and drink until I had pieter! that shuttle. Hy sundown [had completed it. The next day, Monday, I showed to my workmen and fi this new shuttle. They all congratu? lated me on my great BUCCCSS, 1 put thal shuttle Into play. lei ged business; but., slr, that Bundsy'a work Prom that dav I went wrong. I fail- tl in t>it* and I lost mv mill." Oh, my fi keep the Loni's day. You may think it old fogy advice, bul I give 11 to yon now: "Remember thc Sabbath to keep it holy. Six Jhis shalt labor and do all thy work. but. tin seventh ia the Sabbath of thi thy God; In it thou shalt not tlo ,-iny work." A man sn iti that he wt a fallacy. ; did.

When the l ri'ic. he reaped it on the Sabbath, he carrietl lt into the mow on thi bath, anti then he stood out di I int to bristian neighbors and said: >. that is my Bundey crop, and it Isall garnered." After awhile ;; came up and a great darkness, ami the lightnings of Heaven struck thi and away went his Bundey crop. Again, I charge you, beware ol elation with the dissipated. Go with them and you will in time ado] I habits. Why ls tl the Curbstone, covered with bi and beastliness? He wes ss bright-facet] a lad as ever looked up from the nur? sery. His mother rocked him. | for him, fondled him, and would not let the nil/lit ai: cheek and held him ind looked down Into his lov ? eg and wondered for what high position hr- was being titted. Hi tend life with bright hopes, i he world beckoned him, friends cheered him, but the archers shot at bin set traps for him. bad habits hooked fast to him with their iron gm' his feet slipped on the way, BUI he lies. Who would think thal uncombed hnir was once toyed willi by a father's lingers? Who would think that those bloated clicks were ever kissed by a mother's lips'.' Would yon guess that that thick tongue once mads a household glad with its inno? cent prattle? Utter no harsh words In his ear. Help him up. Put thc hat over that once manly brow, brush the dust from that coat that once covered a generous heart. Show him the way to the home that once rejoiced nt the sound of his footstep, nnd with gentle words tell his children to stand btv ll ns you help him through the hall. That was a kind husband once and an Indulgent father, lie will kneel willi them no more as once he did at family prayers?the little ones with clasped ll looking up into the heavens with thanksgiving for their happy hon-". Shake off the Sabbath breaker. Oh, turn your back upon these men. Shake off the skeptic. Shake off the idler. Shake off the pleeSUrlst. You r this work of ejection in politeness, bul you may do it firmly. Yon are not un? der any circumstances to lose all the n - membrance of tho fact that you bm ii gentleman and must always act the gentleman.
