In this discourse Dr. Taluiage describes
eoiue of the scenes to be nit- ^
netted lave at night in the great cities
end warm the unwary of many
perils; text, Kaial; 21, 11: "\Y atchmau, | (
what of the night?" ^
When night came down on Babylon,
Kincveh and Jerusalem they nettled
cartful watching; otherwise the incen- j*
diary's torch might have been thrust (
into the very heart of the metropolitan ' ,
aplebdor, or enemies, marching from
the hills, might have forced the gates.
All night long, oil top of the nail uuc!
in frout of the gates, might be heard
the measured step of the watchman on
his solitary beat. Silenoe hung in air,
save as some pusserby raised the question:
"Watchman, what of the night?"
It is to me a deeply suggestive and ,
solemn thing to see a man atanding t
guard by night. It thrilled through ^
xue as at thu gate of an arsenal in
Charleston the question once smote
me: "Who comes there?" followed by
the sharp oomuiand: "Advance and
give the countersign." Every moral
teacher atanda on picket or patrols
the wall as watchman. His work is to
aound the alarm, and, whether it be in >
the first watch, the second watch, in
the third watch or in the fourth watch,
to be vigilant until the daybreak flings
its "morning glories" of blooming
eloud across the trellis of the day.
The ancients divided their night
into four parts?the first watch, from
6 to 0; thq second, from 0 to IB; the
third, from-' 1!( to 8, and the fourth,
from 8 to fl. 1 speak now of the city
in th? \hird watch, from 12 to 3 o'clock.
Ifxnever weary of looking upon the
life the city la the first watch. That
is the hour when the stores are closTV.

*ig* a uc iu uui iii^ uieu, Having i]iuuvu j
the scaffolding- and the shop, nre on
their way home. It rejoices una to ^
give then mj seat in the city car. They
have stood and hammered away all (
day. Their feet ere weary. They are '
exhausted with the tug of work. They g
are mostly olieerful. With appetites
sharpened on the swift turner's wheel
and the carpenter's whetstone they
aesk the evening meal. Tho clerks,
too, hare broken away from the coun- ^
ter and with brain weary of the long
line of figures and the whims of those ^
who go a-shopping, seek the face ef
another ?r wife or child. The streets ^
are thronged with young men aetting
out from the great centers of bargain
making. Let idlers clear the street "V
and give right of way to the beeweated
artisans and merchants! They have ^
earned their bread and are now on
their way to get it. The lights iu full *
Jet hang over 10,000 evening repasts?
the parents at either end of the table,
the children between. Thank God,
"who setteth the solitary in families."
A few hours later and all the places P
of amusement, good and bad, are in ^
full tide. Lovers of art, catalogue iu '(
hand, stroll through tha galleries and ^
discuss the pictures. The ballroom is ^
resplendent with the rich apparel of ^
those who, on either side of tho white, ^
glistening boards, await the signal from '
the orohestra. Concert hulls are lift- *
ed into enohantment with tha warble n
of one songstress or swept out on a 8
sea of tumultuous feeling by the blast P
of brazan instruments. Drawing- *

sound, with all splendor of manner; v
mirrors are catching up and multi- t
plying the scene, until It seems as if r
In infinite corridors there were gar- o
landed troops advancing and retreat- d
ing. The outdoor air rings with laugh- c
ter and with the moving to and fro of g
thousands on the great promenades, o
The dashing span, adrip with the foam
of the long country ride, rushes past
as you halt at the curbstone. Mirth,
revelry, beauty, fashion, magnificence,
mingle in the great metropolitan picture
until the thinking man goea horn#
to think more aerioualy, and tha praying
man to pray more earnestly. A
beautiful and overwhelming thing is
tha olty in the first and second watches
f the night.
But the elock strikes IE, and tha
third watch has begun. The thunder
of the city has rolled out of the air.
The slightest sounds out the night with
such distinctness as to attract your attention.
Tha tinkling of the beU of
the street car In the distance and tha
baying of tha dog. The stamp of a
horse in the next street. The a la naming
of a aaloon door. The hiccough of the
drunkard. The shrieks of the ateam
whistle five miles away. Oh, how suggestive.

from which there comes a bitter ory, t
which indicates that the destroying t
angel has smitten the first-born. Hare i

But, my friends, be not deceived.
There will be to-night thousands who
ivill not sleep at all. Co up that dark
illey, nnd be cautious whero you
reud lest you fall over the pros- !
rute forsi of a drunkard lying on bis

Do you know it is in this third
ratcli of the night that oriminals do
heir worst work? It is the crlmi>ala'
watch. At half-past eight
I'clock you will find thein in the
rinking saloon, but toward 12
('clock tliey go to their gnrrets, they
:et out their tools, then they start
n the street. Watching on either
ide for the police, they go to their
rovk of darkness. This is a burglar,
ml the false key will soon touch the
tore lock. This is an incendiary,
nd before morning there will be a
Ight on the sky and a cry of "Fire,
Ire!" This la an assassin, and toQorrow
morning there will be a dead
tody in on? of the vacant lots. Durtjg
the daytime these villains in our
ities lounge about, sorue asleep and
owe awake, but when the >thlrd
rutch of the night arrives their eye
a keen, their bruin cool, their arm
trong, their foot fleet to fly or purue,
they are ready. Many of these
>oor creatures were broucht un t.h*t

garret. Their childish toy was a burflar'a
dark lantern. The first thing
hey remember was their mother
>andaginr the brow of their futher,
itruck by tha police club. They beran
by robbing boys' pockets, and
iow they have come to dig the unlerground
passage to the cellar of
ha bank and are preparing to blast

My friends, you see all around about
jou the need that something radical be
lone. You do not see the worst. In
the midnight meetings in London a
great multitude has been saved. We
want a few hundred Christian men and
women to come down from the highest
oirclts of society to toil amid these
wandering and destitute ones and kindle
up a light in ths dark alley, ?ven
the gladness of lleavcn. Do not go

Ambushed.
Peto T. Colgan, paymaster of (ho
Virginia Iron furoaoos, at Middloboro.
Ky., was waylaid, shot and robbed of
|2,000 about midway botwoen this town
and the furnaoos Thursday. Colgan
had drawn tbo money from tbo bank
and was taking it to tbo offioe to pay
the bands. Tbo robbors bid in a olump
of trees, shot Colgan, seized tbo money
and ran. A possee pursued the robbers,
but they eaoaped to the mountains.
In their flight they dropped

yon* well-filled table* witk the 14e?
that ploua talk la going to atop tho
gnawing of an empty atoma?h or to
warm etoeklnglesa feat. Taka bread,
take raiment, take medioine, aa wall aa
taka prayer. There la a great deal of
common sense in what the poor woman
said to the city missionary when ha
was telling her how aha ought to lovo
(Jod and serve Him. "Oh," she said, "if
you were as poor and cold as I am and
us hungry you eould think of nothing
else."
I could give you the history in a minute
of one of the best friends I aver
had. Outside of my own family I never
had a better friend. He welcomed ma
to my home at the west. Ha was of
splendid personal appearance, but ha
hud an ardor of aoul and a warmth of
ulVection that made me love him like
a brother. 1 saw men coming out of
tho saloons and gambling hella, and
they surrounded my friend, and they
took him at the weak point?his social
nature?and I sow him going down,
gnd I had a fair talk with him, for 1
never yet saw a mnu you oould not
talk with on the aubject of his habita
ou talked with him In the right
way. I said to him: "Why don't you
give up your bad habits and become
a Christian?" I remember now Just
how he looked, leaning over his counter,
as he replied: "1 wish I could. Oh,
sir, I should like to be a Christian, but
I have gone so far astray I can't gat
back!" So the time went on. After
awhile the day of sickness came. I
was summoned to bis sickbed. 1 hastened.
It took but a few moments to
get there. I was surprised as I went
an. 1 saw him in hia ordinary dress,
fully dressed, lying on top of the bed.
I gave him my hand, und he seized It
convulsively, and said: "Oh, bow glad
1 am to see you! Sit down there."
I sat down, and ho said: "Mr.Tnlmnga,
juet where you ait now my mother aat
last night. She has bean dead 20 years.
Now, 1 don't want you to think I am
out of my miud or that 1 am superstitious;
but, sir, she sat there last night,
and ahe aaid: 'Jtoswell, I wish you
would do better?I wish you would
do better. 'I said: 'Mother. I wtsk I
could do betetr; I try to do better, but
I can't. Mother, you used to help me.
Why can't you help me now?' And, air,
I got out of bed, for It was a reality,
and I went to her and threw my arms
around her neck. and I said: 'Mother,
I w ill do better, but you njuet help. I
can't do this alone.'" I knelt and
prayed. That night his eoul went to
the Lord who made it.
Arrangement! were made for the
obsequies. The question was raised
whether they should bring him to the
church. Somebody said: "You cannot
bring such a dissolute man as that into
the church." I said: "You will bring
him in church; he stood by me when
he was alive, and I will stand by him
when he is dead. Bring him." As I
stood in the pulpit and saw them carrying
the body up the aisle I felt ae if
I could weep tears of blood. On one
lide of the pulpit eat his little child of
sight years, a sweet, beautiful little
girl, that I had seen him hug convulsively
in his better moments. He put
an her all jewels and gave her all pictures
and toys, and then he would go
iway, as If hounded by an evil spirit,
to his cups and the house of iniquity?
s fool to the correction of the stocks.
She looked up wonderingly. She knew
lot what it meant. She was not old
enough to understand the sorrow of
an orphan. On the other side sat the
men who had ruined him; they were
the men who had poured the wormwood
into the orphan's cup; they were
the men who had bound him hand and
foot. I knew them. How did they
seem to feel? Did they weep? No.
Did they say: "What a pity that ao
gfutrous a man should bp destroyed?"
No. Did they sigh repentingly over
what thay had done? No. They aat
there, looking as vultures look at the
carcass of a lamb whose heart they
have ripped out. Bo they sat and
looked at the coffin lid, and I told them
the judgment of God upon those who
had destroyed their fellow. Did they
reform? I was tc'd they were in the
places of iniquity that night after my
friend was laid In Oakwood cemetery,
and they blasphemed and they drank.
Oh, how merciless men are, especially
after they have destroyed you! Do
not look to men for comfort or help.
But there Is a man who will not reform.
He says: "I won't reform."
Well, then, how many acts are there
in a tragedy? I believe there are live
acts iu a tragedy.
Act the first of the tragedy: A
young man starting oft from home;
parents and sisters weeping to haro
him go; wngon rising over the hill;
farewell kiss flung back. King the bell,
and let the curtain full.
Act the second: The marriage altar;
full organ; bright liglita; long white
veil trailing through the aisle; prayer
and congratulations and exclamation
of "IIow well she looks!"
Act the third: A woman waiting
for staggering steps; old garments
stuok into the broken window pans;
marks of hardship on the faoe; the
biting of the nails of bloodless Angers;
neglect and cruelty and despair. Ring
the bell, and let the ourtaln drop.
Act tha fourth: Threa graves in a
dark place?grave of the child that
died for lack of medicine, grave of the
wife that died of a broken heart, grave
of the man that died of dissipation. Oh,
what a blasted heath with three
graves! Plenty of weeds, but no flowera.
King the bell, and let the curtain
drop.
Aot tha fifth: A destroyed soul's
eternity; no light, no music; blaoknass
of darkness forever. But I cannot
look any longer. Woe, woe! I close
my eyes to this last aot of the traar
?dy. Quick, quick! Ring the bell, and
let the curtain drop. "Rejoice, 0 young
wan, In thy youth,and let thy heart rejoice
In the daya of thy youth, but
knowthouthat for all these thing's God
will bring you luto Judgment." "There
Is a way that neemeth right to a wan,
but the end thereof is death."
Bread Riots.

bread riots at Taraskova, eastorn
Russia," says tho Vienna oorrospondent
of tho Daily Mail. "In Samaria,
tho starving peasants stormed the municipal
buildings and the residenoe of
wealthy persons, setting some on fire.
