[Copyrlslit, faiuls Klopscl:, 18!>!t ] Wasiilnoton, July D. — Home life versus hotel life Is Hie theme of Dr. In Image’s sermon for today, the dis advantages of a li r e spent at more or less temporary stopping places being sharply contrasted with the blessings that are found in the real home, how ever humble. The text is Luke x. «‘M, 35: "And brought him to an inn and took care of him. And ou the morrow when lie departed, he took out two pence and gave them to the host and said unto him. Take care of him; and whatsoever thou spendest more, when 1 come again 1 will repay thee.” This is the good Sniuamnu paying the hotel bill of a man who had been robbed and almost killed by bandits. The good Samaritan had found the un fortunate on a lonely, rocky road, where to this very day depredations are sometimes committed upon travel ers, and had put the injured man into the saddle, while this merciful and well to do man had walked till they got to the hotel, and the wounded man was put to bed and cared for. It must have been a very superior hotel in ifcs accommodations, for, though in the country, the landlord was paid at the rate of what in our country would be $•4 or $5 a day, a penny being then a day’s wages and the 2 pennies paid in tliis case about two days’ wages. Moreover, it was oue of those kind hearted landlords who are wrapped up in the happiness of their guests, lie- cause the good hamurltan leaves the poor, wounded fellow to his entire care, promising that when he came that way again he would pay all the bills until the invalid got well. Hotels and boarding bouses are ne cessities. In very ancient times they were unknown, because the world had comparatively few inhabitants, and tlio.se were not much given to travel, and private hospitality met all the wants of sojourners, as when Abra ham rushed out at Mature to invite the three men to sit down to a dinner of veal, as when the people were posi tively commanded to be given to hos pitably, as in many places in the east these ancient customs are practieed to day. Hut we have now hotels presided over by good landlords and hoarding houses presided over by excellent host or hostess in all neighborhoods, vil lages and cities, and it is our congratu lation that those of our laud surpass all other lauds. They rightly become the permanent residences of many peo ple, such as those who are without families, such as those whose business keeps them migratory, such as those who ought not, for various reasons of health or peculiarity of circumstances, to take upon themselves the cares of housekeeping. A I’rcMent ICvIl. Many a man falling sick in oue of these boarding houses or hotels has been kindly watched and nursed, and by the memory of her own sufferings and losses the lady at the head of such a house has done all that a mother could do for a sick child, and the slum berless eye of God sees and appreciates her sacrifices in behalf of the stranger. Among the most marvelous cases of patience and Christian fidelity are many of those who keep boarding houses, enduring without resentment the unreasonable demands of their guests for expensive food and atten tions for which they are not willing to pay an equivalent—a lot of cranky men and women who are not to tie the shoe of their queenly' or. TJio outrageous way in boarders sometimes net to their land lords and landladies shows that these critical guests had bad early rearing and that in the making up of their na tures all that constitutes the gentle man and lady was left out. Home of the most priueely men and some of the most elegant women that 1 know of to day keep hotels ami boarding houses. But one of the great evils of this day is found in the fact that a large popu lation of our towns and cities are giv ing up and have given up their homes and taken apartments, that they may have more freedom from domestic du ties and more time for social life and l*ecause they like the whirl of publicity latter than the quiet and privacy of a residence they can call their own. The lawful use of these hotels and board ing houses is for most people while they are In transitu; but as a terminus they a>v in many cases demoralization, utter and complete. Tlmt Is the point at which families Innumerable have begun to disintegrate. There never lias been a time wlten so many families, healthy and abundantly able to sup- port and direct homes of their own, have struck tent and taken permaueut abode in these public establishments. It is an e\ 11 wide as Christendom, and by voice and through the m;wspni*er press 1 utter warning and hunting pro test and ask Almighty (Jod to bless the word, whether in the hearing or read ing. Pa lid cm on I ii in of (ioNMly, In these public caravansaries, the demon of gossip is apt to get full sway. All the hoarders run dally the gantlet of general Inspection-how they look when they cuiue down in the morning and wlu-u they get in at night, and wlmt they do for a living, and who they receive as guests in their rooms, and wlmt they wear, and wlmt they do not wear, and bow lliey eat. and wlmt Hiry eat. and how mucli they cat, and how little they eat. If a man pro pesos iu such a place to be Isolated and retlcejit and alone, they will begin to guess a Lout him: Who is lie? Where did lie come froniY How long is lie go ing to slay? IL.h lie paid Ids hoard? How mucli does lie pay? Perhaps lie 1ms committed some crime and docs Hot want to lie known. There must lie something wrong about bint or lie would speak. The u hole house goes Juto tin- detective business. They must find out about him. They must Hud out about him right away. If he leave his door unlocked by accident, lie will find that his rooms have been Inspect ed bis trunk explored, bis letters fold ed dlffcrcutiy from the way they were folded when he put them away. Who Is he? is tile question asked with in tenser Interest, until the subject lias become a monomania. The simple fact Is tlmt lie Is nobody in particular, but minds ids own business. The best landlords and landladies cannot sometimes binder their place.* from becoming a pandemonium of whis perers, and reputations are torn to tat ters, and evil suspicions are aroused, and scandals started, and the parlia ment of the family is blown to atoms by some (lay Fawkes who was not caught in time, ns was his English pred ecessor of gunpowdery reputation. The reason is that, while in private homes families have so much to keep them busy. In these promiscuous and multitudinous residences there are so many who have nothing to do, and tlmt always makes mischief. They gather iu each other’s rooms and spend hours in consultation about others. If they had to walk a half mile before they got to the willing ear of some listener to detraction, they would get out of breath before reaching there and not feel in full glow of animosity or slander, or might, been use of the distance, not go ' at all. But rooms 20. 21, 22. 23, 24 and 25 are on the same corridor, and when one carrion crow goes “Caw! Caw!” all the other crows hear it and fiock to gether over the same carcass. “Oh, I have heard something rich! Hit down and let me tell you all about it.” And the first guffaw increases the gather ing. and it has to be told all over again, and as they separate each carries a spark from the altar of gab to some other circle until, from the coal heaver iu the cellar (o the maid in the top room of the garret, all are aware of the defamation, and that evening all who leave the house will bear it to other houses until autumnal fires sweeping across Illinois prairies are less raging and swift than that tlame of consum ing reputation blazing across the vil lage or city. Herding; Touretber. Those of us who were brought up In the country know tlmt the old fashion ed hatching of eggs in the haymow re quired four or five weeks of brooding, but there are new modes of hatching by machinery, which take less time and do the work by witfdesale. Ho, while the private home may brood into life an occasional falsity and take a long time to do it, many of the board ing bouses and family hotels afford a swifter and more multitudinous style of moral incubation, and one old gos sip will got off the nest after one hour’s brooding, clucking a flock of 30 lies after her, cadi one picking up its little worm of juicy regalement. It is no ad vantage to hear too much about your neighbors, for your time will lie so much occupied in taking care of their faults tlmt you will have uo time to look after your own. And while you are pulling the chickweed out of tlieir garden yours will get all overgrown with horse sorrel and million stalks. One of the worst damages that come from the herding of so many people Into boarding houses and family hotels is infiicted upon children. It is only another way of bringing them up on the commons. While you have your own private house you can, for the most part, control their companionship and their whereabouts, but by 12 years of age in these public resorts they will have picked up ail the bad tilings that can be furnished by the prurient minds of dozens of people. They will over hear blasphemies, ami see quarrels, and get precocious in sin, and what the bartender does not tell them the por ter or hostler or bellboy will. Besides tlmt the children will go out Into this world without the restraining, anchoring, steadying and all control ling memory of a home. From that none of us who have been blessed of such memory have escaped. It grips a man for 8o years, if he lives so long. It pulls him back from doors Into which lie otherwise would enter. It smites him witli contrition in the very midst of his dissipations. As the fish, already surrounded by the long wide net, swim out to sea, thinking they can go as far as they please, and with gay toss of silvery scale they defy the sportsman on the beach, and after awhile the fishermen begin to draw iu the net, hand over hand, and hand over hand, and it is a long while before tiie captured fins begin to feel the net, and then they dart this way and that, Imp ing to get out, hut find themselves ap proaching the shore, and are brought up to the very feet of the captors, so the memory of an early home some times seems to relax and let men out farther and farther from (Jod, and far ther and farther from shore; five years, ten years. 20 years, 30 years; but some day they find an irresistible mesh drawing them back, and they are com pelled to retreat from their prodigality and wandering; and though they make desperate effort to escape the impres sion, and try to dive deeper down in sin, after awhile are brought clear back and held upon the UocU of Ages. A LiiNtliiK InUiifuee. If It be possible,O father and mother! let your sous and daughters go out into the world under the somlomnipoteut memory of a good, pure home. About your two or three rooms in a boarding house, or a family hotel, you can cast no such glorious sanctity. They will think of these public caravansaries as an early stopping place, malodorous with old victuals, coffees perpetually steaming and meats in everlasting stew or broil, the air surcharged with carbonic acid, and corridors, along which drunken boarders come stagger ing at 1 o’clock in the morning, rap ping at the door till the affrighted wife lets them in. Do not be guilty of the sacrilege or blasphemy of calling such a place a home. A home is four walls Inclosing one family with identity of interest and a privacy from outside Inspection so complete that it Is u world la itself, uo oue entering except by permission— bolted and barred and chained against all outside Inquisitiveness. The phrase so often used iu lawbooks and legal circles is mightily suggestive -every man's house is ids castle, as mucli so as though it had drawbridge, portcul lis, redoubt, bastion and armed turret. Even the officer of the law may not •liter to serve a writ, except the door lie voluntarily opened unto him; bur glary, or the Invasion of it, a crime so offensive Unit the law clashes Its Iron jaws on any one who attempts it. I'll- less It be necessary to stay for longer or shorter time iu family hotel or bouidlug house -aud there are thou sands of Instances In which It Is neces sary, as I showed you at tho beginning —unless iu this exceptional case, let neither wife imr husband consent to such permanent residence. The probability is that the wife will have to divide her husband's time with public smoking or rending room or with some coquettish spider lit search of unwary flies, and, if you do not en tirely lose your husband, it will be be cause he Is divinely protected from tho disasters that have whelmed thou sands of husbands, with ns good inten tions as yours. Neither should the hus band, without Imperative reason, con sent to such a life unless he is sure Ids wife can withstand tho temptation of social dissipation which sweeps across such places with tho force of the At lantic ocean when driven by a Sep tember equinox. Many wives give up their homes for these public residences, so that they may give their entire time to operas, theaters, balls, receptions and levees, and they are in a perpetual whirl, like a whip top spinning round and round and round very prettily until it loses its equipoise ami shoots off into a tangent. But the difference is, in one case it is a top, aud in the other a soul. IlIrKhtol In the Home. Besides this there is an assiduous ac cumulation of little things around tin* private home, which in the aggregate make a great attraction, while the den Izen of one of these public residences is apt to say: “What is the use? I have no place to keep them if I should take them.” Mementos, brac-a-brae, curi osities, quaint chair or cozy lounge, up holsteries. pictures and a thousand things that accrete in a home are dis carded or neglected because there is no homestead iu which to arrange them. And yet they are the case in which the pearl of domestic happiness is set. You can never become as attached to the appointments of a boarding bouse or family hotel as to those things that you can call your owu and are associated with the different members of your household or with scenes of thrilling import in your domestic history. Bless ed is that home iu which for a whole lifetime they have been gathering, un til every figure in the carpet, and every panel of the door, and every casement of the window lias a chirograph} 1 of its own, speaking out something about fa ther or mother, or son or daughter, or friend that was with us awhile. What a sacred place it becomes when one can say: “In that room such a one was born; Iu that bed such a one died; in tiiat chair 1 sat on the night I heard such a one had received a great public honor; by that stool my child knelt for her Last evening prayer; here I sat to greet my son as he came back from sea voyage; that was father’s cane; that was mother’s rocking chair!” What a Joyful and pathetic congress of remi niscences! The public residence of hotel and hoarding house abolishes the grace of hospitality. Your guest does not want to come to such a table. No one wants to run sueli a gantlet of acute and merciless hypercriticism. Unless you have a home of your own you will not be able to exercise the best rewarded of all the graces. For exercise of this grace what blessing came to the Shunammite iu the restoration of her sou to life because she entertained Elisha, am* to the widow of Xarcphath in the perpetual oil well of the miracu lous cruse because she fed a hungry prophet, and to Kahah in the preserva tion of her life at the demolition of Jericho because she entertained the spies, aiul to Laban in the formation of an interesting family relation because of ids entertainment of Jacob, and to Lot in bis rescue from the destroyed city because of his entertainment of the angels, and to Mary and Martha and ZacchcuK lu spiritual blessing lie- cause they entertained Christ, and to Fuhlius in the island of Melita in tho healing of Ids father because of the entertainment of I’aul, drenched from the shipwreck, and of Innumerable houses throughout Christendom upon which have come blessings from gen eration to generation because tlieir doors swung easily open in the eulurg lug, ennobling, irradiating and divine grace of hospitality! 1 do not know what your experience has been, but I have had men and women visiting at my house who left a benediction every room—In the blessing they asked at the table, In the prayer they offered at the family altar, in the guod advice they gave the children. In the gospeli- zatiou that looked out from every line ament of their countenances-and their departure was the sword of bereave ment. The quoi u of Norway, Sweden and Denmark hud a royal cup of ten curves.or lips, caelioue having on It the name of the distinguished person who had drunk from it. And that cup which we offer to others iu Christian hospi tality. though it be of Hie plainest earthenware, Is a royal cup. and (Jod can read on all its sides the names of those who have taken from it refresh ment. But all this is impossible unless you have a home of your owu. A Common Delusion, It Is the delusion as to what is neces sary for a home that hinders so many from establishing one. ITiirty rooms are not necessary,, nor 20, nor 15, nor 10, nor 5, nor 3. In the right way plant a table and couch and knife and fork, aud a cup, and a chair, and you can raise a young paradise. Just start a home on however small a scale, and it will grow. When King Cyrus was in vited to dine with a humble friend, the king made (lie one condition of his coming that the only dish lie one loaf of bread, and tin' most Imperial satis factions biive sometimes banqueted on tiie plainest fare. Do not lie caught in (lie delusion of many thousands in postponing a home until they can have an expensive one. That Idea is the devil's trap that catches men and wo men innumerable who will never have any home at all. Capitalists of Amer ica, build plain hollies for Hie people! Let ibis tenement bouse system, iu which hundreds of tlioiisauds of tiie people of our cities are wallowing in the mire, he broken up by small homes, where people can have their own fire sides and their own altar.

The la borer tuny have, at the close of the day, to walk or ride farther than is de sirable to reach it, but when lie gets to Ids destination iu the eventide be will find something worthy of being called by that glorious and Impas sioned and heaven descended word— “boms.” IMen Fur Fhildrrn. Young married man, as soon ns you can, buy such n place even if you have to put on it a mortgage reaching from base to capstone. The much abused mortgage, which is ruin to a reckless man, to one prudent aud provident is tiie beginning of a competency and a fortune for the reason lie will not be satisfied until lie has paid it off, and all the household are put on stringent economies until then. Deny yourself all superfiuities and all luxuries until you can say. “Everything in this house is mine, thank God every timber, every brick, every foot of plumbing, every doorsill.” Do not have your chil dren born in a boarding house, and do not yourself be buried from one. Have a place where youi children can shout aud sing and romp witlmut being over hauled for the racket. Have a kitchen where you can do something toward the reformation of evil cookery and the lessening of this nation of dyspeptics. Ah Napoleon lost one of his great bat tles by an attack of indigestion, so many men have such a daily wrestle with the food swallowed that they have uo strength left for the battle of life, and, though your wife may know how to play on all musical instruments aud rival a prima donna,she is not well educated unless she cun boil an Irish potato "ind broil a mutton chop, since the diet sometimes decides the fate of families and nations. Have a sitting room with at least one easy chair, even though you have to take turns at sitting in it, and books out of the public library or of your own purchase for the making of your family intelligent, aud checkerboards, and guessing matches, with an occa sional blind man’s huff, which Is of all games my favorite. Bouse up your home with all styles of Innocent mirth and gather up in your children’s nature a reservoirof exulierance that will pour down refreshing streams when life gets parched, and the dark days come, and the lights go out, anil the laughter is smothered into a sob. First, lust and all the time have Christ in your home. Julius Caesar calmed the fears of an affrighted boat- 1 man who was rowing iu a stream by saying, “Ho long as Caesar is with you in the same boat, uo harm can hap pen.” And whatever storm of adversity or bereavement or poverty may strike your home, all is well as long us you have Christ the king on board. Make your home so furrcacliiiig in its intlu- ence that down to the last moment of your children’s life you may hold them with a heavenly charm.

A hundred years ago there were no temperance societies or bands of hope, nor Rechabitos and blue ribbon army. To bo as “drunk as a lord” was the height of human felicity. It was tho age nf “throe Itottle men, “ of convivial toasts, of drinking songs. Even tho church Indirectly encouraged intemper ance. There were certain districts where at Whitsuntide the churchwardens were accustomed to levy contribution! of malt from the parishioners. This was brewed into strong ale and sold in tho church. The Whitsuntide topers had, however, a pious method in their mad ness. The money spent on the beer was ex pended by the churchwardens in church maintenance, and tho muddled roister ers no doubt believed themselves to l*o pillars of the church even when, under the influence of its alcohol, they rolled upon its pavement. They thought themselves supporters of the church when they wanted “supporting” them selves, and deemed themselves most saintly when they were most soddened. Until as recently as 1827 (when tho li cense was withdrawn) a church and public house were covered by one roof at Deepdale, midway between Derby and Nottingham.

A startling incident, of which Mr. John Oliver of Philadelphia, was tho subject, is narrated hy him as follows: “I was in a most dreadful condition. My skin was almost yellow,eyes sunk en, tongue coateiY, pain continually in my hack and sides, no appetite— gradually growing weaker day by day. Three physicians had given me up. Fortunately, a friend advised trying Rlectric Bitters and to my great joy and surprise, the first bottle made a decldul improvement. I continued their use for three weeks, and am now a well man. I know they saved my life, and robbed the grave of another victim.” No one should fail to try them. Only GtJcts. guaranteed at Cherokee Drug 8tore. Beauty la Blood Deep.
