GOOD GAME WASTED.
DEPLORABLE RESULTS OF INDO- I
LENCE PORTRAYED.
Soloiuon's Satire and Denunciation of the
Sluggard-Some Are Born Lazy, Somte
Achieve Lazinejt8 and Some HaVe Lazi
ness Forced on Them.
BROOKLYN, J,. I., April 24.
Dr. Talmage preached a sermon on a
practical topic this morning giving
%hrewd common sense lesfonB of inesti
inable value to his hearers, especially
to the young people, who make up a
large part of his congregation. His text
was Proverbs xii, 27, "The slothtul
man roasteth not that which he took in
hunting."
David and Jeremiah and Ezekiel and
Nicai and Soloion of the text showed
thaL some time they had been out on a
hunting expedition. Spears, lances,
swords and nets were employed in this
service. A deep pitfall would be digged.
In the center of it there was some raised
ground with a pole on which a lamb,
would be fastened, and the wild beast
not seeing the pitfill, but only seein
the lamb would plunge for its prey ani
daish down, itself cnpture(. Birds were
cau1ght in gins or pierced with areows.
The hunters in olden time had two nils
sions-one to clear the ]and of ferocious
beasts, and the other to obtaim meat
for themselves and their families. The
occupation and habit of hunters are a
favorite Bible simile. David said he
was hunted by his enemy like a par
tridge uponl the mountain. My text is
a huuting scele.
A sportsman arrayed in a garb appro.
priate to the wild chase lets slip the
blood-thirsty hounds from their kennels,
and mounting his fleet horse, with a
halloo andAhe yell of a greyhound pack
-the are ot and away, through brake
and dell, over marsh and moor, across
chasms where a misstep would hurl
horse and rider to death, plunging into
mire up to the haunches or into swift
streams up to the bit, till the game is
tracked by dripping foam and blood,
and the antlers crack on the rocks, and I
the hunter has just time to be in at, the
death. Yet, after all the haste and
peril of the chase, my text represents
this sportsman as being too indolent to
dress the game and prepire it for food.
Ile lets it lie in the dooryard of his home
and become at portion for vermin and
heaks of' prey. Thus by one master
stroke Soloion gives a picture of lazi
ness, when lie says, "The slothful man
roasteth not that, which lie took in hunt.
mug."' The most of hunters have the t
game they shot or entrapped cooked the
t,nie evening or the next day, but not
mo with this lagTit'rd of the text. To,)
jazy to rip oll the hide. Too lazy to
kimdle the fire and put the gridiron on
the coals.
Now, what are the causes of laziness
and what are its evil results? I knew a
man who was never up to time. It
seemed impossible for him to meet an
engagement. When lie was to be mar
rie(d he Iniss(d the traini. llis watch
seemed to take on the habits of its own
er, and was always too slow. lie had
a constitutional lethargy for which lie
did not seem responsible. So indolence
often arises from the natural tempera
ment. I do not know but, there is a
coinstitutionail tendency to this vice in
every man. Ilowevet active you muay
eeneirally be, have vou not on sonic
wvarm sping day felt a tou1ch of'this feel
ing on yon, although you may have
shi.ikeni it, ofl' as y'ou would a 'rep,tile'
hut, Some are so powerfully tempted to
this by thieir' bodily constitution that all
the woirk of their life hiis been accom
jdishcd with this lethargy hanging on
their back or' treadl'ng on their heels.
You somnetimes behold it in childhood.
The child moping and longing within
door01s while his brothers andl sisters are
at play, or it lie join thenm he is behindl
im every race and beaten in every game.
Ibhs nerves, his muscles, his hones are
smittein with this palsy, lie vegetates
rather thiin lives, crcelps rat,ber' than
walks, yawnus rallber than breathes.
Tbcli animal in his nature is stronger
than the intellectual. IIc. is generally
a great eater and active only when lie
eannot, digest what, lhe has eaten. It re
qluires as iretuch effort for him to walk as
tor' othiers to runl. Languor and dro ssi- I
niess are his natural inheritance, iIe is
built, for a slow sailing vessel, a heavy<
hulk anti an insuflicient, cutwater. Place
an active man in such a bodily structure
iand the latter would he shaken to pieces
in One (lay. Every law oIf phiysiohogy 1
dlemandls that lie he suipinie. Such a<
01ne is not resplonsible for tis powerful
tendencfcy of his niatuire. llis great (dutyI
is resistance.
Furthermore, mdl(oleniec is often the
result of' easy circumstaincs. Rough
explerienec mn carheir life seerns to be 1
necessai y in order to make a man ac
tive iand enterprising. Mountaineers
anre nearly adlways swarthy, and those
who have toiled among mountains of
tioubile get the most nerve and muscle
and brain. Those who have hecomo the
dehiverers of nations, once had not where
to lily their heads. Locusts and1( wild I
hioney haive been the fare oftmany a John n
the Bupt,ist, while t,hose who have been e
fondled of fortune andl petted andh priaised li
have often grown up let,bargzie. i
Thcy have none of that heroism which i
comes fro,m fighting one's own battles. fi
1'hie warm suimmer sun of pr'osperity hats ti
wVeakened andi relaxed them. Born n~
iamong the luxuries of life exertioii hats al
been unnecessary, and thieref'oie they it
t'pendl their time in taking it, easy. They p
anay enter mlto b)usiness, hut thcy are o
"u.tted for its appilicationi, its hafrdshliips, y
for its replulses, and after having lost, d
the most of' that which they have invest- d
etd, go back to thorou.h inaction. This ti
cost.ly 3acht may (ho well enouigh oni the
smooth, glassy bay, but cannot live anun
hiotur aid( a chioppled sea. (1
Another cause or intdolencec Is severe A
ditcouragemlent. There are those around n
us who started life with the most san- c
guine expectation. T1heir enterp)rise n
excited the remark of all compeers. d
But somec sudden and overwtielming s
misfortune met them, and hienceforth c
they have been inactive, Trouble, in- c
stead of making them more (deter "ined, g
has overthrown them. They have lost c
all self reliance. They imagine that all
men and all occurrences are against c
them. T'hey hang their heads where la
once they walked upright. They neverc
look you up In thie eyes. They become i
ir Isanthropic and pronounce all men t
liars andl scoundrels. They go melan-<
cholIc and threadbare to t,heir graves.
You cannot rouse thenm to action by the
most glittering offer. .
.In most cases these persons have been
honorable and uprighit, all thbelr lives,1
for rogues never get discouraged, as
there is always some other plot they
have not laid and some other trap they
have not sprung. There are but few
sadder sights than a man of talent and1
tact and undoubted capacity giving upi
ite as a failure, like a line of magnill- in
:ent steamers rotting against wharves, ht
rom which'they ought to have been car- in
ying the exporfations ot a nation. ec
I-very great financial panic produces a )a
argo crop of such men. In the great hI
-tablishnents where they were I.art- 1
iers in business they are now weiahers d(
)r drayinen or clerks on small salary. h1
Reverie is also a cause of in loletice.
lliere are mulititdes of men who ex- te
pect to achieve great success in life, who w
ire entirely unwilling to put forth any in
physical, moral or intellectual efl'ort. to
lhey have a great many eloquent theo- cr
ries of lfe. They are all the while ex- U
pecting something to turn up. They oi
pass their lift in dreaming. They have ai
re id in lignt literature how men suddenly bj
,ind unexpectedly came to large estates, w
or found a pot of buried gold at the loot tl
o the rainbow of Good Luck, or had t,
aome great oier made them. They N
have passed their lives in reverie. d
Notwithstanding lie is pinched with t
poverty and any other mal would be o
iowneast at the forlorn prospect, lie is fi
idways cheerful and sanguine and jovial,
for lie does not know but that lie may be s
within a day or two of ast )undlng su- t.
.ess. You connot but be entertained 1
with his cheerfulness of temper. AI I
Rlie world wishes him well, for lie never
tid anybody any harm. At last lie <les a
in just the same condition in which lie
ived, sorrowful only becau,e lie must
leave the world just at the time when
)is long thought of lilans where about to e
)c successful.
Let no young man begin ife with re- e
terie. There. is nothing accomlishied c
Nithout hard work. Do not i idleness i
3xpect something to turn up. It will il
,urn down. Indolence and wickedness Y
ilways make bad luck. These peoplei
)I reverie are always about to begiii
l'hey say, "Waita little." So with the
:ild who had a cage containing a beauti
'ul canary, and the door of tho caLe was
)pen, and a cat was In the room. '"Bet
,er shut the door of the cage,'' Naid the ,
nother. "Wait aminute."' said the c
>ov. While lie was waiting the feline n
:reature with one spring- took the can- I
try. The way that many lose the op- 'I
)ortunity of a lIfetime is by the saine U,
)rinciple. They say, "Wait a minute.'' t,
ily advice is not to wait at aill. d
Again, bad habits are a fruitul source
)f indolence. Sinflul induhrences shut, a
nan's shop and dull his tools and stea I"
uis profits. Dissoluteness is general y%
he end of industry. Tlere are t,hose

Some of the best workmen and most

CoLxm 01.\, S. C., April 27, 1892.
Ei'ronln Oin the 11th of
April I addressed the following letter
to the editor of the New York Journal
of Finance:
"In the Charlestoi News and Courier
of April the 7th there was copied an
-irticle from our journal of the 7th of
March which is mnjust and calculated
to injure the Sate of South Carolina in
the financial world. Among other
things yOut say: 6'aws have been
passed which throw it backward at
least a century. The one dominant
idea of its Legislature and its execu
tive, judgmg by -what they have donle,
has been to tax the wealth and business
of the State to the exemption of the re
mainder ot ' he people from bearing
their share of the trdens ot the coi
111011 wealth.'
"As a member of the pre.sent State
government, who claims to have been
just and conservative in his ollicial acts,
let me. a k: V hat laws do you refer to
as having 'Uhrown the State backward
for at least a century ?' and 'what acts
have the Legislature and the executive
comm1111itted which go to prove their
'doiinant idea' to be to tax the wealth
and tutisiness of the State to the ex
emption of the remnainder of the people
from bearing their sh .re of the burdens
of the commonweAlth'? An answer
will oblige
Yosi respectfully,
W. 1'. C. 1;ArI:J,
State Treasiirer."
Nothmlg was heard from the Journal
of l'intance umitil this morning. I re.
ceiv,ed a copy of the paper. Its editor
did not do me the courtesy of puiblish
mng my biief letter, bitt acknowledges
its reception and comments on it in a
polit ical iot a linancial editorial. wh icl
is as uutist and l'ull of error as his first
ar icle. I lere is the editorial:

Carolina's Lesson," having been widely
copied by tlie South Carolina press, has
elhvited from lion. W. '1'. C. Butes,
Treasurer oi the SLate, a letter of re
monstrance, in which it is asserted that
its statements were "unjust and cal
iilated to injure the Stal . of South
Carolina in the financial wo, htt."
Treasurer ]Lates also calls Ior specific
replies to stidry(luestions, which "The
.1ourn-ial of Finace" will bE glad to
inalie as soon as the ollicial data have
enei received from South Carolina.
.Aleaniwhile a few statistics from
iitianicial records may possibly open the
eyes of Treasurer Lates to the fact that.
someiiing occuired as early as 18s8
"calculti( d to inijule the State of South
Carolina in the financial world."
The bonded debt of that State is rep
resented chiely by the -Brown consols
of 1874," due .1 tily 3, 1893. These bear
iterest at the rate of 6 per cent., which
for iuore than ten years has been paid
prouptly, and constitently these secii
rities at one time c. minanded a large
premiitim. .)tiring the year 1887 they
were sold on the uarket at f rom 10-1 to
10. 1 2, and until November, 188S, prices
ranged from 104 to 1W7; bitt within a
