A 1 ir.MH -i! 1'LIIT Tyranny is the mother of conspira cies. Nihilism could not exist in the L'mted States, where there is perfect freedom of expression. It prosjiers with oppression and Hies before free dom. Respite all tho% gilanceof the Czar's countless spies, the spirit of discon tent and re\olt permeated every grade of society, from the splendid coteries of the palai o to the ragged peasants crouching in their cheerless homos. Eve n the army, on which the infatu ated Emperor depended to uphold his ovor-tnttering throne, had its secret so cieties, organized to overthrow the tyr anny of which it was at onco the tool and the slavo. Colonel Orloff, though an otlieor of hig h rank, was, as we havo seen, a Ni hilist. Into tho ranks of that oath-bound and bloody-minded organisation thoro poured not only the intelligent few who yearned for a higher liberty, but also the criminal classes, who had ev erything to gam and nothing to lose by a state of anarchy. There was also a smaller, and per haps a more powerful claBs, who, like Colonel Orloff, joined tho Nihilists Ijecajse of blasted ambition or a failure to recoivo consideration from their masters in proportion to their own exaggerated standard of merit. Colonel Orloff was a disappointed aian, and a destraclionist of the most pronounced typo. Ho believed that th e Czar had wrongod him, in decid in g that cortain estates belonged to his cousin, Count Orloff, and so ho entered into a conspiracy to put his master and his kinsman out of tho way. I t wa s midnight, and in the hall de scribed in previous chapters, tho Nihilists, disguised as .was \their cus tom, bu t yet well known to each other, assembled to plot an assassination that would set the world aghast. Th e Czar had cruelly set at defiance all the edicts of Jehovah and all the well-recognized laws of humanity to accomplish tho ends of his boundless ambition; tho day had come when men, driven to a maddening despera tion by the oppression of themselves and of those they loved, were to retal iate with a ban amy that proved they counted their own lives as noth ing, provided they could strike the tyrant down. Colonel Orloff was tho head of this society. H e sat in the presiding officer's chair, masked as were the scores of men and 0 juully desperate women about him. George Nevski and the men from tho Nova prison, Lanco and Manx, were there also. In only a few cases did the disguises actually conceal, for only a skilled 1 actor can change form, voice, and man- j ner I \Brothersand sisters,\ began Colonel Orloff—he was known as \Number , Five\ to-night—\it pains me to tell you that one of out number, one in whom ' wo have hitherto placid the sub- ' hniest faith, has turned traitor to our • cause \ | \Traitor 1 \ gasped the people, and more than one hand dropped to the belt whoro either knife or pistol (or ( both i was carried. | \Aye traitor'\ he responded. I \I demand his name,\ said George i Nevski, the old < o-turner I \He is known to the world as Ivan Borger.\ was the reply. I \Ivan Berger'\ came like the echo oi a death gasp from the excited people. , \Aye Ivan Berger \ j In an instunt a number of men were on their feet, but above them all tow- . ered the giant form of Maux, late ro- \ corder of the Neva prison and his ; deep, bass voic * rang out like a trum- j pet as he smote the table beforo him and said I \I know Ivan Berger to be true as steel, and assuming all responsibility for my words, I denounce as a liar and ! a slanderer the man, or the woman, foi 1 the matter of that, who dares to charge Ivan Berger with boiug a traitor!\ | These bold words met the approval of many and the disapproval of a few. • There was danger of an encounter, between Manx and Colonel Orloff, bul the excite u> it was allayed bv George I Nevski, who sprang to his feet and with ] arms outstretched, said in soothing j tones - i \Peace brothers, peace' Wo havo [ foes enough outside' Lotus deliberate, let us hear why Numbor Five thinks Ivan Berger a traitor \ l \Because I saw Ivan Berger not two i hours ago talking with CountLinwold. . 1 followed him and I s iw him enter j General Paul s hotel, whore the woman . wo once callod our queen now finds an I unenviable protection True, Ivan Borger was disguised, but I am satis- I lied that his identity is known to those ' he servos \ I \Appoint a committco to investigate | Ivan Berber's case and the case of Lola Pulaski,\ said oue \and then let us on with the all important business tha) has brought us together \ This suggestion was promptly adopt ed, a committee, ' uitii power to act,\ was appointed, and then a painful hush fell upon the people ' \The time to strike at higher game ' than has heretofore been our target bus come,\ said Number Fne Colonel Orloff, breaking in on the silence, \within forty-eight hours, if we but do ' our duty there will lie a vacant throne , in liussia \ | \May God curse it and ever keep it vacant,\ interrupted George Nevski \ 'The eugui's of death are pro- pared \ continued the Nihilist loader, j as he laid his hands on a pile of bombs ! that cover, d the table behind whit h he stood. \Who shall w >rk tin m 9 \ \We are all ready to wt-rk them'\ cried Mau x 1 \Shall wo draw bv lot, or call volun teer.-, \Let us volunteer'\ was tho re spouse. \Who will volunteer?\ asked the leader As if moved by one impulse, every man and woman present sto id up. and , a cry, all the more intense for its being suppressed, burst Horn their hps \1!\ \I\' \I\' : \Too many will be worse than none. Will vou let 'ee s det t, if I promise to lead •'\ asked Colonel • trloll \We will, was the response i The b ader looked over tho crowd, and called out the u rubers I \Let Nineteen appioach.\ Nineteen, who was Lance, late turn- ] key at Neva prison, went up and stood beside the tai-le. \Tiventy-tliree \ I \I am hero.\ replied Maux, as he strode torward. And s i the numbers were called, till fourteen men and two women stood about tho table covered witli bombs. \Martyrs ol liberty,\ said Orloff, im pressively, as lit> looked over the group about him , \ye are the angels of death! What y e deal to him will also be dealt to you ; but what matters that so that the tyrant fall, and the cuised house of Romanoff i s forced to Hi o the weak tenure by which it holds the throne of all tho Kussias. When our meeting adjourns the vol.intcors will remaiD back with me.\ Withiu a very short time tho meet ing did adjourn, and the peoplo chosen to assassinat • the Czar of liussia re mained back with their desperate leader. \•Well what do you think?\ askod Dr. Mulek, of Peter tho student, as the two walked side by side along a cheer less, deserted road. \I think Orloff will perfect the job,\ said Peter; \but he will take no direct uart i n it. He will not need to throw a bom b when thoro are such desperate men as Maux and Lanco behind him.\ \You believe, then, Peter, that tho Czar's davs are numbered 0 \ \I do, doctor.\ \And do you not think it would bo a big card for UB to play if we could up set their plans?\ \It would be death to us, \ said Peter, quickly. \No lot hi m die, and lot anarchy come, if i t will. Curso mo, but I yearn for a change, and though I would sell every Nihilist i n Russia toi a thousand rubles, I shall no t inter fere hero. The Czar has bee n warned enough.\ \And threatened enough.\ \Yes Doctor, but this is no idle threat. Ha! tho air feels as cold as if it came from the lips of that deat h that is so soon to scud a thrill of horror through Russia. Come, here is a wino house open; lot-us get somethin g warm before going to bed.\ As Peter the student spoke, ho turned with Ins companion iuto one of thoso vault-like wine houses so peculiar to St. Petersburg, and whic h are as uninviting as a tomb to thoso not ac customed to thom. They took a seat in a gloomy little recess separated from another semi circle recess by a dirty curtain. This curtain the Doctor pulle d t o ono side for a second, and he saw a one- armed old soldier asleep, with bis head o n tho table. [TO B E CONTINUED. ] ON THE BANKS OFTHE BED SEA EEV DR.

European sclontists whoso labors aro di- roetod toward tho betterment of present con ditions are now discussing a question that is of as much Importance to the people ot this countryns any of thecomploxsjctul probloms which public benefactors are endeavoring to solve. Shall drunkenness bo punished us a crime? Is their query, and the reply seoms to bo largely affirmative, brought out principally by the now Italian penal code. la which pro vision is niado for the erection of special asy lums for alcoholic criminals. This chango met with strenuous opposition from many of tho most experienced legal practitioners, but It was deemed best by medical experts that llquor-mndo criminals should be kept opart, so that their peculiarities might bo th e mora closely studied.

Sermonizors are naturally so busy in get ting tho Israelites safoly through tho partod Red sea an d th o Egyptians submorgod In the returning wators that but littlo tlmo Is or dinarily given to what the Lord's peoplo did after they co t well up high and dry on tho boach. That was tho beach of tho Rod soa, which is at Its greatest width 200 miles and at its least width 12 miles. Why Is the ad jective \rod\ used in describing this water? It is callod th o Red sea because tho moun tains on Its westorn coast look as though sprlnklod with brick dust, and tho water is colored with red soawood ond has red zoophyte and rod coral. This se a wa s cut b y the kcoU of Egyptian, Pbajnician an d Arablo shipping. It was no insignificant pond or puddlo on tho beach of whioh m y text calls us to stand. I hoar upon It tho sound of a tambourine, for which tho tlmbrol was only anothor namo—an in strument of niuslo made out of a circular hoop, with pieces of metal fixed in tho sides of it, whioh mado a jingling sound, and over whic h hoop a ploco of parch ment was distended, and this was bcaton by tho knuckles of tbo performer. The Israelites, standing on tho bench of tho Red soa, wore making music on their de liverance from tho pursuing Egyptians, and I hoar the Isrnelltlsh men with their deep bass voices, nnd I hear tho timbrel of Hiriam as she loads tho women in their jubilee. Rather lively instruments, you say, for religious ser vice, tho timbrel or tnmbourlno. But Ithink God sanctionod it. And I rather think w e will havo to put a littlo moro ot tho festive into our religious sen-ices and drlvo out tho dolorous an d funereal, and tho day may como when th e timbrel will resnmo its place in the sanctuary But that which occupiod tbo attention of all the mon and women of that Israelitish host was tho colobrntion of their victory Thoy had crossed. They had triumphed. Thoy wore free. More wondor was this victory and dofeat than when tho hosts of Richard overcamo tho 1 hosts of 'Salodln at Azotus, than whon at j Bannockburn Scotland was set free; than j whon tho Earl of Northumberland was driven baok at Branham Jloor, than whon at tho battle of Wakolleld York was slain, than whon at Bosworth Hol d Richard was left dead, than whon tho Athenians undor liil- tiado3 at Marathon put tho Persians to flight, for this victory of my toxt was Ruined with out sword or catapult OT spoor.

A strnngor might ask how could this churoh get Into dobt to a n amount that would build sovoral largo ohurches? My answor is, Waves of destruc tion, stout ns an y that over rollod across tho Bod sea of m y text. Examino all the pages of ohurch history and all tho pages of tho world s history and Aiow mo a n organization, sacrod or secular, that evor had t o build threo great structures, two of thom destroyed by fire. Take any of your biggest life insurance companies, or your biggest storohouses, or your biggest banks, or your biggest newspaper establish ments and let them havo to build three times on tho samo foundation, and It would cast thom a struggle if not demolltlou. My text speaks of tho Red sea onco crossed, but one Red sea would not havo so much overcome us. It was witli us Rod soa after Rod sea. Throo Rod seas 1 Yet to-day, thanks bo to God, wo stand on tho shore, and with organ ond cornet i n absence of a timbrol wo chant: \Sing yo unto tho Lord, for Ho hath tri umphed gloriously; the horso nnd his rider both Ho thrown into the sou.\ But why the great expense of this structure? My answer Is th o Immensity of It aud tho ilrmness of it. It cost over 331,000 to dig tho oollar beforo ono stouo was laid, reaching as tho foundation does Irom street to street, and then tho building of tho house was con structed i n a way, wo aro told by experienced builders wh o had nothing to do with it, for durability of foundation and wall such as characterizes hardly any other building of this city. T o tho day of your doath and mine, and for our children and grandchildren aftot us, It will stand hero a house of God and a gato of heaven. For mo personally this is a timo of gladness moro thautonguo or pen or type can over toll. For twenty-four years I had been building churches in Brooklyn and seeing thom bum down until I felt I could onduro tho strain no longer, an d 1 had written m y resignation os pastor an d had appointed to read it twe Sabbaths ago-apa-cft.^ my\, rk In Brooklyn forever.

But God has interfered, and Iho wa y Is clear, and I am hero and expect to jo hero until my work on earth is done. My thanks must bo first to God and then to dl wh o hr.va contributed by largo gift or imall to this emancipation. Thanks to the nen. women an d children wh o havo holped, md sometimes helped with self sacriflco that [ know must havo wo n tho applauso of tho leavens.

Lot Samuol, David, Joash and Josiah bo studied as examples. 2. \Whilo tho sun, or tho light, o r tho moon, or tho stars bo not darkened, nor tho clouds return after tho rain.\ This is sug gestive of days of judgment, as in Isa. sill., 10; Math, xxlv., 29; Bov. vili., 12 j Jer. xili., 10, for thoso who persistently rofuso tho meroy of God. But tho content seoms rather to Indicate tho tlmo of old age, when tho senses becomo dull, and with no light fro m heaven in tho soul tho condition of such a ono is dark and gloomy Indeed. Listen to old Barzlliai whon invited by King David to mako his homo with tho king in Jerusalem: \ I am this da y four scoro years old, and can I discern botwoon good and ovil? Can thy servant tnsto what I cat or what I drink? Can I hoar any moro tho volco of singing me n an d singing women? Whereforo, then, should th y servant bo yet a burden unto my ]ord tho king\ (I I Sam. xix., 35)? Earzillal was doubtless a good man, yet ho simply de scribes tho ordlnnry failures ot the body i n old age. 8. \In tho day when tho keepers of tho houso shall tromble, and tho strong men shall bow thomsolves, and tho grlndors ceaso bo - causo they aro few, and thoso that look ou t of tho windows bo darkened.\ Thl3 is sug gestive of the failuro of hands and arms, feet and legs, teoth and eyes. Tho earthly honso begins t o decay, failuro Is evident hi every part, an d if thero ts no light shining from abovo tho su n it is a dreary picture. But listen to Caleb, tho friend and companion of Joshua, each of whom wholly followed tho Lord: \Lo , I am this day four scoro and five years old. As yet I am as strong this day a s I was i n tho da y that Moses sout me. As my strength was then, ovea so ts lay strength now tor war, both to go out and to com o in\ (Josh, xiv., 10, 11). 4. \And thodoorsshnllbcshutinthostreota when tho sound of tho grinding Is low . and ho shall rise up at tho volco of tho bird, and nil tho daughters of music shall ho brough t low.\ Suggcstlvo of lips closing in upon toothless gums, inability to sleep and failuro of th o volco. Comment seems unnecessary; rather consider tho possibilities of on ol d ogo in tho fear of God. Think of Mosos, of whom it Is written that at tho ngo of 120 his oy e was not dim nor his natural forco abated. A t that ago bo wulked up the mountain, alone, and went out t o bo with God, nnd K00 years later we find him allvo and well (Dcut. xxxiv., 7 j Math, xvil., 3). 5. \Also whon thoy shall ho afraid of that which is high, an d fears shall lie In the way, and tho almond trco shall flourish, and tbo grasshopper shall bo a burden, and desiro shall fall, because man gocth to hi s long homo and tho mournors go about tho streets. This is probably suggcstlvo of tho easily terri- flod old porson to whom everything is n bur de n and nothing i s satisfy tng. Tho almon d treo may suggest tho whlto bond of old age, and tho gravo is spokoa of as tho long homo. \Under tho sun\ is still tho key, for rejoicin g bolievor anticipates no long homo i n the grave, but \with Christ in pnradlso,\ \ab sent from tho body, present with tho Lord\ (Luk o xxill., 43 ; I I Cor. v., 8). C. \Or ovor tho silver cord bo loosed, o r the golden bowl be broken, or tho pitcher bo broken at tho fountain, or tho whool broken nt th o cistern.\ Possibly tho referonco here may bo t o tho spinal cord and wholo norvous system, tho brain, tho heart, with its voins and arteries. Howover much or littlo th o writer may havo known about those things, tho Holy Spirit who wroto through him wns \porfoct in knowledge\ (Job xxxvi., 4) . 7. \Then shall tho dust return to tb o eart h as it was , nnd tho spirit shall return unto God wh o gavo it.\ God said to Adam, \Dust thou art, and unto dust shnlt thou re turn.\ And tho psalmist wroto concernin g vain man, \Hi s breath goeth forth; he re - turnoth to his earth; In that very day hi s thoughts perish\ (Gen. ili., 11); Ps. cxlvi..4). Through Jesus, tn o last Adam, tho second man, we learn of victory ovor death and of tho fact that many shall never dlo. \Wo shall not all sleep.but wo shnll ollbecbangod in a moment, in tho twinkling of an eyo , nt the last trump, for tho trumpet shall sound, and tho dead shall bo raised incorruptiblo, and w o shall bo changol \ (I Cor. xv. , 45, 47, 61. 52). Sco also I Thcss. tv., 10-18. And h i contrast to this wholo dreary' pieturo of frail old age, with no light from hoaven. listen t o this contrast, \Though our outwnrd man perish, yet tho inward man Is renewed day b y duy.\ By receiving Him who becamo man and a sin offorlng for us wo may bo sur o of an endless Ufo an d eternal youth. 13. \Let u s hear tho conclusion of th o wholo matter. Fear Ood nnd keep Hi s com- mandmonts, for this is tho wholo duty of man.\ But inasmuch as no mere ma n sinc o Adam fell, over kept tho commandments of God thero Is littlo comfort here. \Whosoever shall keep tho wholo law, nail yot offend i n one point, ho i s guilty of all\ (Jas. ii.. 10). And it is written that tho law was give n to condemn man an d provo to ninn his helpless ness, that ho might bo led to recoivo Him who is tho fullllmcnt ot tho lnw nnd th o end of tho law for rightenoussncss to every on o that bellcveth (Rom. 111., ID. 20; x., 4; Gal.

H o was mado sin lor u s that we might bo mndo tho righteousness of Ood in Hi m (II Cor. v.. 21). Receiving Him, He becomes our lifo nnd righteousness (John i., 12 ; I John v., 12 ; Col. ill., 4; I Cor. i., 30) , and nis lovo constroinlag us we livo hence forth unto Him , rejoicing In hopo of th o glory of God (I I Cor. v., 11, 15; Rom. v. , 1, V- 14. \Fo r God shall bring every work into Judgment, with every socret thing, whether It bo good or whether It bo ovil.\ If wo ar e In Christ, we can rejoice that the judgment for our sins is past, and they shnll bo romem- bered n o moro (John v., 24; Horn, viil., 1; Isa xlili., 23).

Just Liko Otbor Boys, An entorprlslng magazin e writer has been collectin g for tho instruc tion and guidanc e of America n youth, some facts concerning the boyhood of President Cleveland. The mos t im-- portant item to be gleaned from thi s Information Is tha t ilr Cleveland la his boyhood was a boy an d not n premature statesman in knickor- bockers. We learn that ho was neither \particularly good, nor par ticularly bad, nor particularly bright.\ Also, tha t h e went in swimming , llshcd, fought, got into mischiof, de coyed and succored stray dogs, and. otherwise behaved like an y youth of ordinary taste r and inclinations. There is due record of hi s having been thrashe d by a farmer (who gavo his whole min d to the performance) and at anothe r time by a schoolmate, into whose sca t the embry o President had been stickin g pins. At tho ago of 9 he attende d school, studied assiduously and wroto compositions. An early essay on \The Cow\ is com mended for conciseness an d convinc ing argumen t to the attention o( Agriculturist Morton, while a paper on \Time\ declares sagaciously that , \if we wish to become grea t and use ful in the world we mus t improve our time in school.\ Wherefore It may j be seen that no little boy who makes / up his mind to bo Presiden t need / despair It is only necessary tha t ho > improve hi s time and hi s appetite and bo a boy while he's young. —' Chicago News.
