Let Pompeii sleep well ! tonight, for it is the last night of 1 : peaceful slumber before she hlU into J | the deep >du;nber of many long een- 1 | turies. The morning of the 34tb of j | August, A. IX 79, has arrived, and j | the day rolls on, and it is 1 o'clock | i in. the afternoon. "Look f9 I say to I you, standing on this wall, as the ?sister of Pliny said to him, the Roman essayist and naval commander, on the1 day of which I speak, as she pointed him in the direction in which I point j you. There U a peculiar cloud on the aky, a spotted cloud, now white, now wlack. It is Vesuvius in awful and unparalleled eruption. .

It rises, a great column of tiery darkness, higher and higher, and then spreads out like , the branches of a tree, with midnights iuter wrapped in its foiiage, wider and wider. Now the sun goes out, and showera of pumice stone and water from tujruatea more than seven times heated, and ashes in avalanche after avaiauche, blinding and scalding And i*urti>catiug, descend north, south, east and west, burying deeper and deeper in mam moth ?e pule her such as never; beilore or sace was opened ?

Come and see the petrified bodies of the dead foond in the city and now in the museums of Ita^y. About 460 of those embalmed by that eruption have been recovered.

Much of the painting and sculpture of ; Pompeii was so exquisite that, tfhilfe mm ? k kept on the walls where it wa^ first penciled, to be admired by ihoee' who go there, whole wagon loads and whole rooms iujl of it have been trans ferred to the MasOo Borbcnieo at Naples, to be admired by the cen turies. c These Pompeiian artists mixed such durability of colors that, though t&eir paintings were buried in ashes and scoriae hi 1,700 years, and since they were uncovered many 6i them have remained there exposed to the mas and winds and winters and som^f* of 130 years, the color is as fresh and vivid and true as though yesterday it had passed from the easel. Which of oar modem paintings could stand ail that? And yet many o^the speci mens of Pompeiian art show that the j city was sank to suoh a depth of j abomination that there ImM deeper. .Sculptured and petr embalmed abcraiaatiun^-Thjft]* wasp, state o t public miopia worse than be longs to any city no$ standing under the sun. / ? "?j ; ji -J:;' Yet how many think that all that is necessary is to cultivate the mind, and* advance the. knowledge and. im prove the arts? Have you the im pression that eloquence will do the elevating work? Why, Pompeii had Cicero half of every year for its cifcfaj rat Have you the idea that litera ture is ail thai is necessary to keep a city right? Why, Sdlluat, with a ~ that was the boast of RomaiJtlltera-H, ture, had a mansion in that doomed city. Do you think that vjK&totute apd art are quite sufficient for' the piodfjctiou of good moral*.? Then correct your delusion by examining the ataiuee in the Temple of jMeirettfjf; at Poflipwi, op the winged fgares ol | its Parthenon and the colonnades and arcbes qf this house of Diomed*! | ;ji By all means have schoS&and Du* sekiorf and Dore exhibitions aid ] galleries where the gemus of all centuries can ..bank itself up^ In snowy sculpture, and all &ric a- brace, and ail puee art. l^ut noth ing, save the religion of JeWvChriet, C141 make a city moral. In propor t k>5r& churches and Bibles ^a?d Chrietkn printing presses and reviv als of religion abound is a city clean aud pure. What has Buddhism or W W - 4S?^pfT art, but take best case of your church es, and*y<mr St&batls^cbools, and your Bibles, and your family altars. Yea see in our walk today through uncovered P&mpeii what sin will do for a city. We ought, to be slow ; j to assign the judgments of God. Citieae are sometimes aifiicted just as- good people are afflicted, and the earbh 4 uake, and the cyclone, and thef epi- j demic are mo sign in many cases that God is angry with a city, but the dis tress is seat for some good and k&d purpose, whether we understand it; or not The law that applies to individ- , uals may apply to Christian cities as | well, "JMi things work_ together for good to those that love fggjiftftperj *ji? the same e otJ their in- j Pompeii. Some of tbem have aiighty saroophogus and hierogliphic entalv lature, but they are dead and buried, never to rise. THE COlEtERY Nurr YET FILLED. But the cemetery of dead cities is \ not yet filled, and it the present cities of tbe-workl forget God and with their Sideeencies shock the heavens, 1?^ tbem know that God, who on the 24th of August, 79, dropped on a eity of Italy a snperincumbrance that staid there 17 centuries, is still alive aud hates sin sow as much as he did then and has at his commu^all the arm ament of destruction with which he "whefened tf?ir iniquitous predecessors. It was only a few summers ago that Brooklyn and New York felt an earthquake throb that sent the peo ple affrighted into the streets, and that suggested that there are forces of of nature now suppresstfjl or held in check which, easier than a child in a nursery knocks, down a row of block house*, could prostrate a city or engulf a continent deeper than Pompeii was ea*gulfed. Our hope is in the mercy ot the | Lord continued to our American cities. Itj amazes me that this city,: which has the quitest Sabbaths on the conti nent, and the best orde/, and the highest tone of morals of auf aty that I know of, is now having brought into a* near neighborhood as Coney Island carnivals of pugilism as debasing as any of the gladiatorial contests of Pom peii. What a precious crew that 'Coney Island Athletic club" is uuder whose auspices thete orgies are enact ed! What a degradation to the ad jective "athieticv which ordinarily suggpists health and muscle developed for useful purpose! Instead of calling it an athletic club they might better style it "The Ruffian Club For Smash log the Huroau Visage/' Vile men are turning that Coney Island which is oue of the tiuest water ing places on ait the Atlantic coast, into ft ptace?for' the ott'scouriug ol the earth to congregate, the low horse Jockeys and gamblers, aud the pugil ists, and the pickpockets* and the bioa&sJ regurgiated from the depths of the worst wants of theae citidf. They invite delegates from universal loaferdoDi to come to their caruival of knuckles. But 1 do not believe that the pugilism contracted tor aud ad ver tisetf lor next December wail take place in our neighborhood. i| Evil sometimes defeats itself by go log one step too far. You may drive the hoop of a barrel dowu so hard that it breaks. I will not believe that tlie international prize fight will take juace on Long Island or in the state ?|f Kew York until I see the rowdy r&bble rolling drunk off the* cars at Fiatbush avenue and with faces tanged and cut aod bleeding from the imbruting scene. % Against thas iufrac ti$n ot the Jaws of the state of New Xork.I Kft solemn protest, the curse of Almighty God will rest upon any community that couseuts toj such an . outrage.
