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. In this
great continent ihcrc is room enough
for every man and woman to have a
home. Morals and civilization and re
ligion demand II. \Yc want done all
over Ibis land wlmt George Peabody
and Lady Itiirdctt-Coutts did in Eng
land, slid somo of tiie largo manufac
turers of this country have done for
tiie villages and cities In building
hmiiiII houses at low rents so that the
middle classes can have separate
lionics. They are the only class not
provided for. The rich have their pal-
pees, and the poor have their poor*
houses, and criminals have their jails,
but what about the honest middle
classes, who are able and willing to
work and yet have small Income? lx?t
tho capitalists, inspired of God and
pure patriotism, rise and build whole
streets of small residences. 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.”

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. At 7<J years of
age the Demosthenes of the American
senate lay dying at Washington — I

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 door that could bi>
opene-d at will served to separate the
consecrated interior of tho church from
the common taproom of tho taveru 1—

Robbed the Grave.
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
