I Away From You.
I 1 spent a day away from you?
I A pen nance in a lonely plaoe;
I I said: "I will forget her face,
I The mouth'e rose red, the ejes' bold blue;
I 1 Will forget a little apace "
I Ah me! Lore grants no holiday!
! 1 sought my lonesome hold, and there
I Your happy laoghter filled the air
I Your footsteph followed in the way,
I The sunlight tangled in your hair
I You whisper thrilled my heart anew;
I 1 saw your eyes?1 watched your smile.
I Oh, mockery of mile and mile!
I I spent a day away from you
I And you were with mo all the while.

In this discourse Dr. I'ahnago arraigns
the spirit of wild speculation and gives somo
account of the financial ruin of other days;
Proverbs xxii', 6, "Riches certainly make
themselves wings; they tiy away as an eagle
toward heaven."
Monry is a golden breasted bird with
ailrer beak. It alights on the office desk or
on the parlor center table. Men and women
stand and aumire it. They do not notice
that it has wings larger than a raven's, lar
gerthan a flamingo's. larger than au eagle's
One wave of the hand of misfortune and it
spreads its beautiful plumage aud is gone?
"as an eagle toward heaven," my text says,
though sometimes 1 think it goes in the
other direction.
What a verification we have had of the
flying capacity of riohes in Wall street! Aad
Wall street is one of the longest streets in
the world. It does not begin at the foot <>f
Trinity church, New York, and end at the
Kast river, as many suppose. It reaches
through all our American cities and across
the sea. Kncouraged by the revival of trade
and by the fact that Wall street disasters of
otheryears were so far back as to be forgot,
ten, speculators run up the stocks from point
to point until iunocent people on the outside
suppose that the stocks would always continue
to ascend. They gather in from all
parts of the country. Large sums of money
are taken into Wall street and small sums of
money. The crash comes, thank God, in
time to warn off a great many who were on
their way thither, for the sadness of tho
thing is that a great many of the young men
of our cities who save a little money for the
purpose of starting themselves in husineia,
and who have $600 or $1,000 or $2,000 or
$10,000 go into Wall street nnd lose all.
rAnd if there ever was a time for the pul
pit tospeik out in regard to certain kinds of
nefarious enterprises now is the time.
Stocks rose and fell, and now they begin
to rise again, and they will fall ngain until
thousands of young men will be ruined unless
the printing press and the pulpit give

trymen, so far as they may hear ot this discourse,
if they have surplus to invest it iu
first mortgages and in moneyed institutions
which though paying comparatively small
interest, are sound and safe beyond dispute,
and to stand clear of the Wall street vortex,
where so many havo been swamped and
swallowed. What a compliment it is to
the healthy condition of our country that
these recent disasters have in nowiso de
pressed trade! 1 thank God that Wall street s
capacity to blast this country has gone for
ever.
Across the islnnd of Now York in ItifiS a
wall made of stone and earth and cannon
mounted was built to keep oil' the savages.
Along by that wall a street was laid out, and
as the street followed the line of the wall it
k was appropriately called Wall street. It is
t narrow, it is unarohitoctural, and yet its bis|
tory is unique. Excepting Lombard street,
London, it is the mightiest street on this
planet. There the government of the United
States was born. There Washington hell
his levees. Ther^Mra. Adams and Mrs
Caldwel^^^BJBB|y^ an.! other brilliant
iiitaili|II t displayed
^irms. uW itherspoon and Jonathan
Euwll ?.tyi George Whitefield lomctimes
preached. TnereLi. Masonohided AlexanW
der Hamilton for writing the constitution of
J the United States without any God in it
p There negroes were sold in the slave mart.
f There criminals were harnessed to wheelbarrows
and, like beasts of burden, com
pelled to drnw or were lashed through the
street behind carts to which they were fastened.
There fortunes havo come to coronation
or burial since the day when reckless
speculators in powdered hair and silver shoe
buckles dodged l)ugan, the governor general
of his majesty, clear down to yesterday at 3
o'clock. The history of Wall street is to a
oertain extent the financial, commercial,
agricultural, mining, literary, artistic,
moral and religious history of this country.
They are the best men in this country and
there are the worst. Everything from un
swerving integrity to tiptop scoundrel ism ?
everything from heaven born charity to blendless
8hylockism. 1 want to put the plow in
at the curbstone of Trinity and drive it clear
through to Wall street ferry. And soil shall
go if the horses are strong enough to draw
the plow.
First of all. Wall street stands as a type in
"* this country for tried integrity and the most
outrageous villainy. Farmers who have
only a few hundred dollars' worth of produce
to put on the market have but little to
test their character, but put a man into the
eyen times heated furnace of Wall street
excitement and he either comes out a 8hadrach,
with hair unsinged, or he is burned
into a black moral cinder. No half way
work about it. If 1 wanted to find integrity
^ bombproof, I would go among the bankers
and merchants of Wall street, yet because
there have been such villainies enacted there
at ditferent times some men have supposed
that it is a great financial debauchery, and
they hardly dare go near the street or valk
up or down it unless they have buttoned up
their last pocket and had their lives insured
or reiigiousiy crossed themselves. Vet if
you start at either end of the street and read
the business signs you will fiud the names
of more men of integrity find Christian benevolence
than you can find in the same
space in any street of any of our cities.
VVhcn the Christian commission and the 1
sanitary commission wanted money to send 1
medicine and bandages to the wounded,
when broads lull's were wanted for famish
ing Ireland, when colleges were to be en- 1
dowed and churches were to be supported 1
and missionary societies were to be equipped
for their work of sending the gospel all 1
around the world, the first street to respond 1
has been Wall street, and the largest re '
sponses in all the. land have come from Wall 1
street.
Hut while that street is a type of tried 1
integrity on one hand it is also a type of tin- <
bounded swindle on the other. There nre ]
the spiders that wait for innocent tlies.
There are the crocodiles that crawl up 1
through the slime to crunch the calf. There '
are the anacondas, with lifted loop, ready to 1
crush the unwary. There are financial wreck- 1
ers, who stand on the beach praying for a
Caribbean whirlwind to sweep over our com- '
mercial interests.
Let me say it is no place for a mnu to go y
into business unless his moral principle is 1
thoroughly settled. That is no place for a ^
man to go into business who does not know '
when he is overpaid $5 by mistake whether 1
he had better take it back again or not '
That is no place for a man to go who has
large funds in trust and who is all the time
tempted to speculate with them. That is no
place for a man to go who does not quite c
know whether the laws of the state forbid t
usury or patronize it. Oh. howj many men s
have risked themselves in the vortex and o
gone down for the simple reason their integri- t
ly had not been thoroughly established, lie- ?
member poor Ketcham. How soon the tly- y
ing hoofs of his iron grays clattered witb him f
to his destruction! Keinembcr poor Oay, at s
30 years of age astonishing the world with e
hit! fftHlima nrul Viin l?~? 1 "

ailulterous rides through Central park in too f
face of decent New York and whose behavior g
on Wall street by its examp'e lias blasted 1
tens of thousands of young men of this gen- a
eration. ii
I hold up the polluted memory to warn n
young men whose moral principles are not c
thoroughly settled to keep out of Wall street, t
It is no place for a man wh > shivers under tho n
blast of temptation. Let me say also to tho s o
??????s????^
who are doing legltlraa'e business on that or k
similar streets of which thai in atype to stand ti

price io the angry ware of commercial ex- p
citement. God did not allow the lions to t!
hurt Daniel, and be will not allow the h
"bears" t<> hurt you Remember, my friend t 1]
that all these scenes of business will soo c
huTo passed away, and by the law of God's y
eternal right all tlieatfiirg of your business '
life will be adjudicated. Honesty pays best v
for both worlds. o
Again, 1 have to remark that Wall street is tl
atyp. throughout the country of'egitimate ii
speculation on the one hand and of ruinous tl
gambling on the other. Almost every mer n
chant is to some extent a speculator. He de- tl
pends not only upon the difference between n
the wholesale price at which he gets the b
goods and the retail at which he disposes of c
them, but also upon tho fluctuation of the tl
markets. If the markets greatly rise, he b
greatly gains. If tho markets greatly sink, b
be greatly loses. It is as honest to deal in y
stocks as to deal in iron or ooai or hardware f
or dry goods. He who condemns all stock
dealings as though t hey were iniquitous simp o
ly shows his own ignorance, blop all legiti- o
mate speculation in this country and you stop o
all banks, you stop all factories, you stop all h
storehouses, you stop all the great financial ti
prosperities of this country. A stock dealer h
is ouly n commission merchant under another r
name. He gets his commission on one style t
of goods. You 'he grocer, get your c munis- g
sion on another style of goods. The dollar i
I Oat ho makes is just as bright and fair and fi
honest a dollnras the dollar earned by the p
day laborer. Hut here wo must draw tho t
line bet ween legitimate speculation and ruin- t
ous gambling. You, a stock operator with- v
out any property bchiud you, financially v
irrcsr>ansihle, se'. $10 > of noth'ng and get v
piid for it. You sell 100 shares at $10,000 at g
30 days 1 f at the end of .'M days you can get b
the scrip for $0,00i), you have made a thons- i
and If at the end of HO days you have to tl
pay $11,000, then you have lost a thousand s
Now that is iratlickiug in fiction; that is bet- d
ting on clianoee; that invob.es the spirit of li
gambling as much as anything that ever goes h
on ia the lowest gambling bell. t
At certain times almost every prosperous o
merchant wakes up, and ho says: "Now, 1 o
have helm successfil in my lino of trade, and g
I have a tolerable income. 1 think I shall tl
go down to Wall slreet and treble it in three h
weeks. There's my neighbor. He was in t
the sam* line of business. He has his $300,- t!
000 or $100,000 from the simplo fact that he
went into Wall street. I think 1 shall go

who want to get a little excitement in their
lot hanoin voinu I f om <Knw onmo * V,* ?
tecs of great property, to fool everything
away, Here they cotne, men celebrated for |
prudence, to tiitlo with tho livelihoods of
widows and orphans. Do you wonder that
sometimes they become insane? It is insanity.
Do you known there are hundreds
of young men who arc perishing under the E
passion for clock gambling'.' Do you know c
that in all Christian lands this is oue of the o
greatest curses? y
It i9 not peculiar to mercurial Americans. ^
Oh, no! Almost every nation has indulged
in it. Tho Hollanders, the most phlegmatic
people in the world, had their gambling 0
seizure in 1083. It was called the tulip '
mania. It was a speculation in tulips 8
Properties worth $">O0,000 turned into tulips. 0
All the Hollan I nation either buyiug or sell- t
ing tulips One tulip root s >ld for $200, I(
another for $2,(100. Excil ment rolling on g
and rolling on until history tells uj that one
Amsterdam tulip which was supposed to he
the only one of the kind in all the world n
actually brought in the markets $1,810,0001 D
That is a matter of history. Of course, the ^
crash came, and ail Holland went dowu under
it. a
But France must havo its gambling ex 0
pediiion, and that was in lTlti. J >hu Law's |j
.Mississippi scheme, it was called The ^
French had heard that this American continnent
was built out of solid gill, and the "
project was to Ukc it aorcss tbe ocean and v
drop it in France. Excitement beyond any- 8
thing that had yet been seen in the world, f
Three hundred thousand applicants for p
shares. Excitement so great that sometimes u

But it was left for our own county to sur
pass all, about 'M tears ago We have the
highest mountains and the greatest C&ta r.

we had to have the larpesi swindle One jj
would hare thought that the nation had seen
enough in that direcion during the morns
rnulticaulis excitement, when almost every
rnan had a bunch of crawling silkworms in
his houte, out of wtiich he expecto 1 to make
a fortune. But all this excitement was as P
nothing compared with what took place in a
lh.s4 when a man near Titusvillc, Pa. dig- tl
ting for a well struck oil. Twelve hundred X
oil companies call for a billion of stock y
Prominent members of churches, as soon as
t certain amount of stock was assigned t hem,
taw it was their privilege to become presilents
or secretaries or members of the board
if direction, ttome of these companies never
aad a foot of ground, never expected to have. ^
Their entire equipment was a map of a region 0|
where oil might be and two via s of grease, '
srude au I clarified. People rushed down
'roni all parts of the country by the fiist *
train and put their bard earnings in the gulf. ,

Jtterly insane. it
Tho good Christian people said, "This l*
lompany must bo all right, because Elder
lo and-Ho is president of it, and Elder Ho-ando
is secretary of it, and then there are three
r four highly respected professing Chrisiins
in the board of directors." They did Ql
lot know that when a professed Christian
toes into stock gambling he lies like sin. Hut '
ilas for the country! Jt became a tragedy,
ind a thousand million dollars were "wainpd.
There are families today sitting in the
htdow of destitution who but for that great
lational outrage would have had their cot- it
ages and their homesteads. 1 hold up bo C
ore the young men these four great stock ty

nterests of society are against it, and (lod is

COTTON IS GRASSY.
The Stands are Fair But 8omewhat
Iaregular.
Tho condition of tho growing ootton
crop is of great tpcculativo interest
at this time, and tho general improsb'oo
prevails that it is in an extremely
poor condition over tho entire Cotton
Belt. Mr. J. W. Bauer in his weekly
summary declares that this is not universally
tho oate, although tho orop as
a wholo is probably two to throo woeks
lato, and in many looalitios 'pjito
grassv, especially ovor tho Atlantio
States, and portions of tho Gulf, and
Mississippi valley States.
Stands aro fair to good, but somowhat
irregular, owing to tho uousual
amount of planting that was ncoossar).
Insects are not moro numerous and
destructive than usual, and in Texas
the weevil is not Ichb threatening than
heretofore Atafov points only has
the'plant begun to fruit. A few weeks
of dry and warmer wnathcr in tho
Atlantio States, and a continuation of
tho present favorablo weather to tho
westward, would put tho growing cotton
orop into a very promising condition.
The following short statements in
dicato how the orop is in tbe principal
ootton raising States:
Ln North Carolina all reports indicate
that the past week has boon very
favorablo both for farm work and for
growth cf crops. Chopping cotton pro
grossed very rapidly, but is not yet
finished. Whero fijlds havo been
oleaned tho crop shows eood stand and
hotter color, but largo areas aro all
very grassy, and boido fields havo boon
abandoned or will bo plowed up for
corn. Cotton seems to bo almost tho
smallest for tho season on reoord.
in South Carolina ootton is unusually
small, lacks cultivation and is somewhat
lousy in places, while grassy
fields arc tho rulo. In tho eastern and
southeastern sections its growth is at
a standstill, and the nl?n?n ?umin<*

red or yellow, showing an unhealthy
oondition, but over tho remainder of
tho Stato it is growing and improving
slowly, and has a healthy color. Seaisland
looks better but^blight is Htiil
prevalent.
In Georgia tho weekly reports oontinuo
to bo generally of a discouraging
character. Crops have suffered from
excessive rains in nearly all counties;
and aro muoh in need of cultivation.
The condition of cotton is on tho whole
poor, and numerous correspondents
consiler the outlook gloomy.
In Alabama cotton has nearly all
been cuoppcd; and, while tho general
condition of this staple has improved
very slightly, it is becoming quite
grassy in many fields, and continued
dry weather is needed for its proper
cultivation insects continue damaging
in a few localities, and somo is dying
from effects of previous cold; cotton-is
just beginning to form tquares
in southern and middle counties.
-?la-Miss'esippi over a greater portion
of tho State farm work has been considerably
delayed on account of the
wet condition of tho soil. Crops on
lowlands havo been damaged by overflow
and lack of cultivation, whilo on
uplands all orops are generally grow
iog rapidly and aro in a fair stato of
cultivation. Cotton is from two to
thiee weeks late, and in some counties !
has boon materially mjurcd as a result
of tho cool weather during the last
decade in xMay; chopping out has not
been completed in many northern
counties.
In Louisiana reports eonorning the
improvement in crop conditions and
prospects arc almost universally favor
able and in some oases enthusiastically
enoouragiug. The condition of the cotton
crop in the Stato. as * wholo, has
greatly improved Hail injured it in
localities in the central .n I northern
parishes; so badly, iu iaj, that some
fields havo been plowed up and re
planted, or abandoned, but the acreage
thus destroyod is not largo. In som ?
of tho northern parishes, too, tho crop
is bcooni'.ne foul with nr?.a h?,........
? D '"I
the ground is too wot to work, iiat,
as htatod above, the conditions and
prospocts goDorally have improved materially.
Cotton in Bienville parish is
reported to be forming squares rapidly.
In Tennessee tho past week was
oharaoteru :d by higher and inoro seasonable
temperature and timely showers
?coneiuons very favorable to tho
growth of crops. Cotton made good
progress during the week, and though
the plants are small and stand poor
in many localities, tne tone of reports
is much more euoouraging than for
sjVeral we. ks There aro ju.tea number
ot complaints ot cut-worms.
In Arkansas fairiy well distributed
raiatall and decidedly warmer weather
lave improved orop conditions to a
greater extent. Cotton is fiooa 10 to
20 days lato, tho mauds are poor to
fair but rapid growth was made during
tho week.
In Texas the past week has been the
most favorable one of the season for
the growth and development of crops.
Sutfij'cnt rainfall has oocu-rcd in most
sections for tho immediate needs of
orops, and the temporaturo, cspeoialLv
during tho latter portion of tho week,
has becu conducive to rapid growth.
In somo localities tho growth of cotton
was somewhat retarded by tho cold
nights during tho first few days of the
week, but tho crop generally has made
good progress. Tho orop is fruiting
over tho south portion. Tho boll woovil
is becoming less numerous, but still
doing considerable damage.
In Oklahoma fair weather with warm
days and moderately oool nights, oauscd
slightly drouthy conditions until tho
7cti and 8th, when general rains rcliov
od and helped tho crops. Kartn work
progressed rapidly underfavorablo conditions,
except over tho Chickasaw
Nation and Greer oounly, where tho
ground was too wot to cultivato.
