The father of the deceased attributes his son's act to the suicide of a friend at Mc- Keesport, Pa., while he had a charge at that place a year ago. Young Mr. Schorr indorsed a note of $1,000 for his friend. At its maturity the drawer of the not« failed to take it up and the minister paid it, the friend promising to reimburse him in monthly instalments. The debtor, however, shortly afterwards blew his brains out, and young Mr. Schorr often bewailed the act, believing that his self destruction was due to the inability of his friend to cancel the debt of $1,000.

London, May 37.—The new American officials comprising the United States legation in London are decidedly outdoing their Democratic predecessors in respect of the aristocratic location and appointment of their residences.

Saturday night he called upon her, proposed marriage and was rejected. He became excited, and frightened the lady so lmdly that she sent a note to the Rev. Dr. Hodges asking for advice. Dr. Hodges states that he had noticed peculiarities in Mr. Schorr's manner for some time past. Albert Barnes—honored be his name on earth and in heaven—went straight back to the original writing of my text and translated it as I have now quoted it, giving substantial reasons for so doing. Although we know better, the ancients had an idea that in snow water there was a special power to cleanse, and that a garment washed and rinsed in it would be as clean as clean could be; but if the plain snow water failed to do its work, then they would take lye or alkali and mix it with oil, and under that preparation they felt that the last impurity would certainly be gone. Job, in my text, in most forceful figure sets forth the idea that all his attempts to make himself pure before Qod were a dead failure, and that, unless we are abluted by something better than earthly liquids and chemical preparations, we are loathsome and iu the ditch.

The American A Chimney Sweep in Wales' Carriage. London, May 27. —Considerable' disorder was occasioned at the firemen's parade by a clash of authority between the officials to whom was intrusted the duty of preserving ord$r. There has been much friction of late between the police and the county council, and the council, seeing an opportunity to administer a snub to the police, lost no time in availing themselves of it. Instead of the usual police escort for the parade the council provided a cordon of volunteers, and had these appeared in time to be of service the council's well meant snub would undoubtedly have had the desired effect. Unfortunately, howover, the volunteers failed to put in an appearance at the appointed time, and the result was that no protection whatever was afforded the parade or the thousand. of spectators who had assembled to witnes* it. The crowd at one time became so unruly as to excite serious apprehensions for the safety of the notables who were present in carriages, many of them with ladies. A chimney sweep, covered with soot, facetiously miugled with the richly dressed ladies present, be6m aring their silks and satins, and there was no one to interfere with his frolic until he had seated himself upon the step of the carriage occupied by the Pr'nce and Princess of Wales. Not until the princess, horrified at the sweep's audacity, began to protest loudly was the fellow seized and hustled out of the way. EMPLOYES' MONEY TAKEN Some winter morning you go out and see a ■now bank in graceful drifts, as though by nme heavenly compass it had been curved; and as the sun glints it the luster is almost insufferable, and it seems as if God had wrapped the earth in a shroud with white plaits woven in looms celestial. And you say: "Was there ever anything so pure as the snow, so beautiful as the snowf" But you brought a pail of that snow and put it upon the stove and melted it; and you found that there was a sediment at the bottom, and every drop of that snow water was riled; and you found that the snow bonk had gathered up the impurity of the field, and that after all it was not fit to wash in. And so, I say, It will be if you try to gather up these contrasts and comparisons with others, and with those apologies attempt to wash out the sins of your heart and life. It will be an unsuccessful ablution. Such snow water will nover wash away a singlo stain of an immortal soul. Here is another example of Mr. Shorr's eocentricity: He was a party to a marriage that was not without romantic features. There registered at a certain hotel in the afternoon a young man and a young Jady, named Oscar Kunert and Gertrude Braden, both from Latrobe, Westmoreland county, Pa. Tiiey wanted to get married and it was a runaway match. Several ministers were asked to help them, but without success. Finally the Rev.

Suppose I owed you five thousand dollars and I should come to you to-morrow and say: "Sir, I will never run In debt to you again; if I should live thirty years, I will never run in debt to you again;" will you turn to me and say: "If you will not run in debt in the future, I will forgive you the five thousand dollars." Will you do that I No! Nor will God. We have been running up a long score of Indebtedness with God. If for tho future we should abstain from sin, that would be no defrayment of past indebtedness. Though you should live from this time forth pure as an arc hem gel before tho throne, that would not redeem the past. God, in the Bible, distinctly declares that he "will require that which is past"—past opportunities, past neglects, past wicked words, past impure imaginations, past everything. The past is a great cemetery, and every day is burled in it. And here is a long row of three hundred and sixtyfive graves. They are tho dead days of 18SS.

When I first entered the ministry, I used to write my sermons all out and read them, and run my hand along the line lest I should lose my place. I have hundreds of those manuscripts. Shall I ever preach them? Nover; for in those days I was somehow overmastered with the idea I heard talked all around about, of the dignity of human nature, and I adopted the idea, and I evolved it, and I illustrated it, and I argued it; but coming on in life, and having seen more of the world, and studied better my Bible, I find that that early teaching was faulty, and that there is no dignity in human nature, until it is reconstructed by the grace of God. Talk about vessels going to pieces on the Skerries, off Ireland I. There never was such a shipwreck as in tho Gihon and the Hiddekel, rivers of Eden, where our first parents foundered.

The defense will be under four heads, and hold: First, Barnes held unlawful relations with the plaintiff; s cond, plaintiff held unlawful lelations with other men; third, plaintiff knew that Mr. Barnes was married, having been installed in both his tumes during the absence of his family in Europe, and that plaintiff had even gone through the effects of the latter and taken what caught her fancy; ard fourth, Barnes is not the father of plaintiff's child, and that all obligations ceased with the deaih of Barnes, the relations bet.ween them being a business arrangement.After the consultation it is understood that Detective Whalen was promptly suspended to wait further investigation.

THE SNOW WATER OF FINE APOLOGIES. Washington, May 27.— Bishop Keane, who has been a guest at the pastoral residence of St. Patrick's church since his arrival ?n the city last Tue day, lias left for Philadelphia. He will visit a number of places in Pennsylvania, and will then go to Chicago and the far west. I remark, in the first place, that some people try to cleanse their soul of sin in the snow water of fine apologies. Here is one man who says: "I am a sinner; I confess that; but I inherited this. My father was a sinner, my grandfather, my great-great-grandfather, and all the way back to Adam, and I couldn't help myself." My brother, have you not, every day in your life, added something to the original estate of sin that was bequeathed to youf Are you not brave enough to confess that you have sometimes surrendered to sin which you ought to have conquered? I ask you whether is fair play to put upon our ancestry things for which we ourselves are personally responsible! If your nature was askew when you got it, have you not sometimes given it an additional twist? Will all the tombstones of those who have preceded us make a barricade high enough for eternal defenses? I know a devout man who had blasphemous parentage. I Apw an honest man whose father was a tBsf. I know a pure man whose mother was  of the street. The hereditary tide may be very strong, but there is such a thing as stemming it. The fact that I have a corrupt nature is no reason why I should yield to it. The deep stains of our soul can never be washed out by the snow water of such insufficient apology. I.akt* Forest University All llight.

The future of the university "MURDER WILL OUT " "Murder will out" is a proverb that stops too short. Every sin, however small as well as great, will out. In hard times in England, years ago, it is authentically stated that a manufacturer was on his way, with a bag of money, to pay off his hands. A man, infuriated with huuger, met him on the road and took a rail with a nail in it from a paling fence and struck him down; and the nail entering his skull instantly slew him. Thirty years after that the murderer went back to that place. He passed into the grave yard, where the sexton was digging a grave, and while he stood there the spado of the sexton turned up a skull, and, lo! the murderer saw a nail protruding from the back port of~tlio skull; and as the sexton turned the skull it seemed, with hollow eyes, to glare on the murderer; and he, first petrified with horror, stood in silence, but soon cried out: "Guilty I guilty! O God!" The mystery of the crime was over. The man was tried and executed. My friends, all the unpardoned sins of our lives, though we may think they are buried out of sight and gone Into a mere skeleton of memory, will turn up in the cemetery of the past and glower upon us with their misdoings. I say all our unpardoned sins. Oh, have you done the preposterous thing of supposing that good resolutions for the future will wipe out the past) Good resolutions, though they may bo pungent and caustic as alkali, have no power to neutralize a sin, have no power to wash away a transgression. It wants something more than earthly chemistry to do this. Yea, yea, though "I wash my hands with snow water, and should I cleanse my bauds in alkali, yet shalt thou plunge me in tho ditch, and mine own clothes shall abhor me." UI didn't think much about it then, because I wasn't paying any attention to the case."

They plunged me into the house of sin. They ruined my soul." I do not believe it. God gavo to no one the power to destroy you or me. If a iriftn is destroyed he is self destroyed, and that is always so. Why did you not break away from themf If they had tried to steal your purse, you would have knocked them down; if they had tried to purloin your gold watch, you would have riddled them with shot; but when they tried to steal your immortal soul, you placidly submitted to it Those bad fellows have a cup of fire to drink; do not pour your cup into it In this matter of the jpul, every man for himself. That those parsffiis are not fully responsible for your sin, I prove by the fact that you still consort with them. You cannot get off by blaming them. Though you gather up all these apologies; though there were a great flood of them; though they should come down with the force of the melting snows from Lebanon, they could not wash out one stain of your immortal soul.

You seo from the last part of this text that Job's idea of sin was very different from that of Eugeno Sue, or George Cand, or M. J. Michelet, or any of the hundreds of writers who have done up iniquity in mezzotint, and garlanded the wine cup with eglantine and rosemary, and made the path of the libertine end in bowers of ease instead of on the hot flagstone of infernal torture. You seo that Job thinks tliit sin is not a flowery parterre; that it is not a tableland of flno prospects; that it is not music, dulcimer, violoncello, Castanet and Pandean pipes, all making music together. No. he says it is a ditch, long, deep, loathsome, stenchful, and we are all plunged into it, and there Cvo wallow and sink and struggle, not able to get out. Our robes of propriety and robes of worldly profession are saturated in the slime and abomination, and our soul, covered with transgression, hates its covering, and the covering hates tho soul until wo are plunged into tho ditch, and our own clothes abhor us.
