ANTR-MORTEM, " Ban Franciaco Past, Sept, 23, Somctime about August, 1874, James Lick, on ald citlzen, a money-getter, and up to that time esteemed only in additlon a8 a money-keeper startled the cily of S8an Francisco by making over an estate valued by experts at from 4,000, 000 to $5,000,000 to trustces for the benefit of its public Institutions and the erectlon of monu- mentsof art and patriotismn, A telescope— to which that of Lord Ross' was but an opera- glasa; one that was to show us that our knowl- edge of the subljmest truths of astronomy was but that of blind pups; one that Kepler looking through might well exclaim: *“Oh, Godl I tuink Thy thuughts after Thee,"—wns to be crected in our midst. The author of *Tho Star Bpangled Banner," that glorlous anthem which is more to us than the * Marscillalse " s to the Frenclimen, the *Garlbaldlan Hymn?* to an Itallan, or “The Wearlug of the Green” toan Irishman, was to have had a monument in our State, and technical schools, the gift of amill- {onalre, were to teach our young boys to “ cease to do evil and learn to do well.” Such was the programme, and loudly wns ; THE GREAT PMIHLANTIROPIST liailed by the press. The gentlemen, however, who was {u the habit of doing good by stealth, and blushing to find it fame, did ot furnish the prototype of Mr. Lick. The latter gentlemnn, by lis nfter proceedings, ehowed that he much more closely resembled the young lady fu the varlety hall song. For first he would, and then lie wouldn’t, then lic smiled on his trustecs, aud sald he couldn’t, and wound up by calling them all naughty boys, Eight months after the grand gift had been announced, when lic had tosted thoe sweet flat- tery of the press; when e had been told many langusges didst thou speak—Spanish mnong unewn; barltone was thy voleo in eurly doys, and of the bighest school thy voculization for few days—and then bad togive ploce to live subjects, e sgaln startled the world by filing an instrumentrevoking his formerdeed of trust, Hls original trustees were the late Thomas H. Selby, 0. O, mllshl(cury M. Newhall, Willlan Alvord, QGeoree M. Howard, James Otls, and Joln O, Eorl. The reason alleged in the docu- ment filed by him for this revocation was that Tie hud not ninde a suitable provision for bis re- lations, and that lie wished to resettle and ar- runge the whole matter, He nlgo stated that he was {n [ailing health at the time he executed the deed, and that it was cxecuted by him hastily, and under THS ETFECTS OF MENTAL DEPRESRION, caused by his bad health. In other words, $When the devil was slek, the devil a salut would be; when_ the devil was well, the devil a snfnt wns be” In their first tmpulse of indig- nation the origingl trustecs determined to try the question at luw whether Mr, Lick had a right to * givaa thing and tako o thing," as the children suy, but ultlmately wiser counsels pre- valled, and'they gave way to the following gen- tlemen who took charge, o modification having been made {n the trust, to which reference is mude further ons .

Why the old mun wver moditled his trust was uti- known to the publie. That was only known to a select few, aud i3 now given to the readers of the Lest for the first thne, A BECRET HISTORY. Bulwer iakes the Cardinal Duc de Richelleu tell us **even 1 loved onee," und, Miko the great Minlater of Franee, the enemy ot Annu of Aus- trin and the architect of the Tortunes of Louls the Lleventh, James Lick, fu his young days, [:rk-lt-llku as he uppears **to us now, with out {ttle space for a Jady’s face to lle and be loved 1n Liis breast,” had Lis mnour. e wasa young man then, and nearly fifty years have elapsed slues in Fredericksburg, Lebanon County, Pa., he loved ond wos Joved in return, Pa- rents, however, who nlwnf's will step In aud preyent the course of true love from runnly 8mootl, op}mscd the young man's passlon an would not licur of his inarryhig. The result was, James Lick played Armaud tothe falrone’s Cumilte, and fu due timg hie was presented with # 80l yar la main gauche, us our lively Gallic fricnds say, The bxgl:pmu 7 to mauhoud, and was, and {8, known East as Joha M. Lick, Whille Wlic was atill an urchin, Lick went to South Amcrien und started In to open that oyater, the world, In Chill, The boy grew up with hisnioth- er in Peupsylvanly, and, huving considerable business tulent, made monoy, and in time be- camo u lavge sharcholder in “the Lobanon Bauk, When Lick, leaving Chill, the laud of W NONTHERS,” RABTHQUAKES, and ** CHIONA,” came to Sun Fraueiseo nis sen joined kim and stopped with Litim for about ten “years. During this pertod, at somo tine or other, the old man i writing acknowledged that Lick was bis legitimute son, The papers, however, went ostray, and John returued Bast. When the sudden fit of benevolence struck the old man it did not extent to the sou, and it was only after great persuasion un the part of the trustees, wlio represented that the trust would certainly ba contested §f ha did not make some provision for his relatives, that his boy, or ratherinan, was put down for $15,000. Lick's wift having been trumpeted thronghout the land naturally ex- cited some attention from his son, who thought that eharily ought to begin at bowmy, and, hunt- ing over his papers, ke found by chune the very dotuments estubliahing his legitimacy. Armed with these papors, the lon, J. W. Kellinger came out to dan Francisco ut Juhn Lick’s yue- uest, saw the great philunthroplat, showed him tho papers, und {nsisied thut he should revoku the originul decil of trust, put his son's name fn any nuw oue he might make for $150,000, and wake him u trustee also, und i ubedienco to this energetle request the old man revoked biy original decd, $BTILL HE WAS NOT HATPY}"" A year and u half pasaed over thelics®sof the mucli-endowed people of San Francisco, and no mora was heardof Lick or ks [u'lnut:'y gife " until a short thnu sfuce, when the trustecs re- ceived a polite note usking them to reslign, as o now Board hud beon sppotuted. The old man had gut tired of tho Board with his son on it, o Kuuow that the position of a trustes wus oue 1 which u good deal of damage might be done by o dishonost * chip of the old Lluek,” and he wanted his son shifted.

Anxious to ascer- tain the truth of the story, the reporter at oncn waited on rome of Lhe members of the new Board of Trustces. NEVER ITEARD OF IT} 2 United States Sul-Trensurer Sherman was found In his offlce In the Treasury Building, and interrogated ns follows: It has been stated, Mr, 8herman, that Mr. Lick bas been examined by & number of medical men as to his sanlty, and I wish to know what truth there is In the statement.” “1think Mr. Lick perfectly eane, had any reason to think otherwise,’! *‘But he has been examined by several physi- clans recently, lias lie not1” " l,Pmnw nothiug about any medical examina- ou, *Ilave the old trustees sent In thelr resignn- tlons as yet!" “ No, ~ There {8 no difficulty whatever about that, Tlm’y will reslgn us soon as they cando B0 leantly,” Feeling perfectly sssured that Mr. Sherman Kept something to himeself he'd searcely telito any, the reporter next waited on George Bchone- W the manager of the Lick House, and another of the uew trustecs. ‘This gentleman cxrrcsml an equal !%mornm.'c in regard to the private Inquiry as to Lick's sanity, and the dis- eouraged but “not defeated seribe next called on Charles M.

Laying the Corner-Slunes of the St. Joseph and German Reform Churehes. CHRISTIANITY. IT8 USITY AND VARIETT—BERMON DY ITOF. BWING, P'rof. Swing preachied to a large congregation yesterday morning on “The Unity and Varlety of Christianity,” Followlng is the scrmon: Thon shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy #ou} and witty a1l thy mind, This is the firat onid reat coinmandment, and the sccond 18 llke nnto t. Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyeell, On these two commandments hang all the Inws and the prophets, - Matt, xxil,: 47-i49, "That thev may be one.—Jokn xvil. : 11, ‘This morning a two-fold lesson s offered to your attentive thought—a lesson on the Unity and Variety of Christianity. In studying its unity you wili become great as to the inethod of your thought and as to the doctrines of your faith; In studylng its varlety you will, ns Christiane, become kind and charitable. In order that one may deeply love a system of re- lglon or phitosophy, one must know well its most fundamental principles; and that one mny forgive aud luve one’s fellowmen one must note, aleu, the varlety of detall which may exist with- out harmning these principles. The deeper the roots of the cak, the hetter may it contend agalnst storm, In the sca there are depths whiere the waters enjoy perpetual veace, and when the tempest is raging on the surface, all the llying creatures, from the levia- than of Job to the tiniest af the dwellers in the deep, pres down to thls regionof calm. In Clristinnlty oue should expect to find sume such reglon of rest, to which the stormsof dcbate and doubt should scldom come—n deeper sea {nto which the suul can &lnik to find shelter from the tempustuous present and strength for the tuture. * Let euy philosophy uppear upon earth, and, behold, it “betrays ot once some ancestral principles,—patriarchis of the tribe, sltting in the solcmalty und grandenr of gray halrs, with many youlir men and women around them, and with children playing at their feet. Inthe history of ovur own land Hberty and equality were'the great parental truths, tho an- cestors of the Republic und of each State—the Divinely-sent and Divinely-led patriarchs of the coming’ tribe—holy thoughts journeyine by fuith {1 the wilderuess looking toward a city of God. In the philosophy of Locke there les o princi- ple that ull our 1deas comne from the five senses, and, with this principle set up a8 a regulutor of his gearch, Lovke otice scemed to muke man only u sensitive plant, having nothing of his owil but waiting to be touched externaily. Along came Cousiu with the central thought that the buman soul carrles the divine within as a sced carnies o principle of life, and thate! wwhun time warms up the divine germs in man, conscience, and taste throw out thefr benutiful bloom. Thus each system of truth possesses leading utterance—tne foundation uf the tem- ple. This ought to be true of Christianity, for of_ail systems that men have knowu, this most affects soclety in its work, aud character, and emotion. f this wide-spreading tree ‘there should be found aroot reaching fur down into the solid earth. Now, of Christianity the founder was Christ alone. It wus nothing without him. The Apos- tles were_lesser lghts,—the satellites of this Morniug 8tar,—for they were chosen and scnt forth by lln. Chriet ‘will, therefore, show us the cardinal principles of 4lis own Religion. In His tlrst sermon e will fnevitably utter it, for g, before God made the plants and the birds, He made the carth thelr base of life, so Christ, the moment e utters his first sentences to man, will throw down His Word before he will spread out its detalls of utility aud decoration. He who reads the Sermou upon the Mount will find thero the supreme expression of the Gospel. Love to God and man are the ideas which are to penmneate all that shall be subsequently said aud done, In these two doctrines (s the unity of Christianity. All clse {8 varintion of this heme. Loveto the Creator eccures the wor- ship of wun ond Lrings iuto action all the higher affections und hopes possible to the soul. Retigion, fu ull its rien detafls, Hows down from this une foundation, The temples, the bymus, Lhe prayers, the offerings, the self- | sacrllee of humanity, rise up at the h}ddmg of this single sentiment, The unblemished lite of old Enveh, and the better hours of Abroham und David, the life of Danlel and Isalah, all caue from a simple sentiment—love of Go Out of the same soll grew the religious natu of Jobn and Jumes atd the whole group of the apostles. In fact, all the words und deeds of religlon polnt to one doctrine as to thelr origin. Christ came to lead man buck to the Fathers He cume to restore this lost fove and eo 1l the Beart with it that sin would becowne odious and penitenca sud rlizhteousness universal virtues, Asout of their principle of love for God all the higher order of senthments wereto emanate, 80, frotn the parallel fdea of love for man, the dutics of mun to man were to descend. The laws of soclety resolve themselves futo this, that the best futerest of cach must be sought and seeured. ‘Phe lowa of clvilized nations are outruged by the moseacres in Seryls, for the basls of nl( law is a tender regard for the per- sons aud property of the individuul, When 10,000 Servian cltizens were murdered, the law of Jove was 10,000 times broken. 8t. Paul would have taught the Servians lessons of 1lfu and truth; 8t.dJobn would have ealied them all his child: Watt would have gone to them with {nvention, Pestuluzzl with schools, Bright with roformed laws, Mozart with music, cuch one following the law of love, but to this popu- Iace the Turk came with bullet aud knifu and shamed the world auew at the very name of Turk, ‘Alllaw, locul and national, looks for {ts author- ity to this fundumental principle, written down by Chrlst. The lawa szalust thett, asuinst slan- der, aguiust murder, agalnst traud, ure only varintions of the slmple truth that man must Jove his neizhbor ss himaclf, The schools, the churehes, the galleries of art, the free librarics, the parks, the llberty oud equality of republics, are only varlations in many notes” and puarts of this ccéntral theme, Therefore, when' Christ began his mizsfon by uunouncing thess two {deas of love to tiod aud love tonun, le created the Christlan world of which ull other ldeas were to become the detalls, the herbs of the field, the flsh of the sen, the fowlof the air. More, then, i8 the unity ot Christlunity, here the toeal polut whence every ray of lght slinll ever rudiate. Having marked now this unity, lct ws puss awuy from this origln end move out [nto the subsequent earcer, The seene §s us though one hud stood near th Creator when o gret sald, " Let there be w universe,” and then had visited all thst universe ofter its stars bud Leen shinlng, aud its oceans sparkling, und Its plunts blossoni- {nge, und its fohbitants llvlng and laboring for 000 years. What o fourncylng thut would be from uimpllull)' to variety. Similur is the sceny n Christiunity, After tho great words were spoken i the sermon on the Mount the multl- form lundscape began to uppear, aid now man holds o religlon deeply murked by the variations of person, and place, and time. “The_room for ln(llvlduu‘lly n religlon 18 immense, It {3 neces- sary that this soul love Gud and man—these uro the bauks within which the veean of religion must le content, but within thess banks thero may be many shudings of light und cloud and many tones of sea-music.

Individuality cohies into Christianity from the world without. It had moved up and down all over the world, having followed every pulnter and_every poet, and _cvery farmer, and every mechunie, and when Chrlstisulty caing It attach- edatself at oneo to that potentate just advauc- ing to be crowned, und to this duy, though elehteen centunes have clapsed, it Bus faith- {ully followed the “"f' of thy Nuzarene, Whore there hus been light enough to permit toleration to fourish, this individuality s been often an ornawent, often utility of rellgion, but whers the darkness has been so_grest as to kill that Sower, toteration, which blooins only lu stroug Hght, variety hus dronched that land in blowd, ~ By the close of the thind coutury there wers elgity seeta fn the Chiristian Chureh, but they lved togetlier quits pescefully, snd Christ udvanced a8 though cighty diferent bunds were pulling at His cliarfot, In Paul’s doy there must already bave been several sects, for he cautions his Iricuds agajust dividing.the Christ Ilmself. Ho was willing great vuriety should comnu ubout Bub- baths o¢ micats, but not around thy bottom ruck—the love for God-Christ und for man. This great variety of the early centurles would have dune no Jurin of itself, * What luried tho Church was thu endeavor Lo persecute men fito o unity of detall ; und to secure thls unity the pricsthood resorted to thy sword us the fnstra- suent for adults, and to fgnorance oy a treat- ment for the chlidren. To slay wl who bad d the futelligence that brings varicty, und to keep fn lgnorance the rlalug wultitude, wus the pulley of at least twelve conscoutive centuries, The Inw of varie! beeame a suppoeed fos of the Church, juat ns jough God had passed at least one law which the Church felt compelled to re- peal, In our better perlod, the sccts, though they be 100 or 500 atrong, arc paseed by witli s simple good wish, beeaure at Iast mankind con- feases that every truth of art, or »I-llom{x(hy, or religlon, must “burst into variations like the fruits of the field, or like the simplo clements of & song. Only when a dogma of religion comes Into confiict with the foundation princ- Pm of lovo to God and love to man, may thera he any physical resistance or suppression. Bhould a church declaro against pubfic educa- tion, or public liberty, or nst virtue, it would then have gotten beyond the law of varicty and out Into the renlm of Injury; but the Baptist fn his immersion, the ~ Calyinist with his decrecs, the Catholle with his Vir- fu Mary, the Fplscopalian with bis ritual, the Methudist with his {ervor, arc only the mul- tiform universe Into which the simple clements shape themeelves in the different degrees of sun and sofl. As tlic word *Iiherty " is precious in clvil affalrs because it permits myrlads of men to grow up each inlils own shape, permits one to follow medicine, one law, one -F(cull.nre, and all cducation, and richcs, and happiness, making a nation a home of hroad manhood, thus in Chrlstianity the word liberty or individ- uality enters and ‘permits the soul to sclect a pathy nkil;glonly that the path lead to the wor- slip of God aud the profound love of man, ‘What freedom Is to the State, toleration fs to rellgion. In the open alr of tolerntion’all forins of thought become only many plctures hanging in the temple of the soul. Of this varicty of doctrine many have spoken, hut not so many have asked us to mark the va- rlety of experience which flows down from the love of God and man. Paul, and Xavier, and Elltott, and Marquette, heeamne inflamed with this donble Jove, and could feed the passlononly by moving away from home, to tell In strange lunds the story of the Cross. Like Prometheus, they fled, carrying to poor mortals the fire of Heaven. Thelr Christianity all combined into o heart's desire and prayer o God that lsracl, the scattered nation, might be saved, Thus sometimes the new sentimnent expresses itself still, even mnld the nnz!lmi allurements of our ccntury. There are hearta which, having Jearned to love God and man, woull into the highways, and even journcy overall countries, calling “together thousands of men, women, and childreu to urge them to fly like doves to the great windows uf Para- dise, They are not fanatics, nor decelvers, but hearts whose religlon has assumed an ambition like that of Alexander to conquer n world, but w conquer it not by sword, but by tears. In the simplicity and zeal of their nature they will tell you that If you love Christ you also will walk up and down'the streets Inviting each man in his pluce of business to come to their Suvior,—that dyuu will also move out ngainst u wicked world. But this comes from the crror of supposing that human nature is slways a sin- gle impulse, Alongside the Alexanders of the carth ~ who have desfred to wave o flug over contluents have lived many wlho have Joved to wave their humble bon- ner only over home, Where the fanlily meets [ friendship. there the world terminates, The sun rises for the vines and door-sill of that cottagre: It goes down that tho weary children may sleep. Hence says thie poet: lu‘{apy the man whose Jove and care fow paternal acres bound 3 Content 1o breathie his native alr 1n by own ground. Christianity having come to ruch a heart, it will not make of him a wandering evangellst, but it will udapt itself to the nhome pession an become a deeper plety in the bosom of the fa- ther and wother, or will expressitself in mutnal Kindness and in the fumily bymu and prayer, What would become of our homes, our arts, our sciences, our lnw, our infinite Industry, ff each Christian should become nn active evange- list?_But the question of results Is excluded by the question of fact. Naturehas forbidden unity of character and pursuit; has shutits great fron doors ngainst the many, forbldding them torush out into the wide world und commanding them to love God within the Loundaries of home. Wlhen a few souls have pussed out of o ver- toln gateway, nuture suddenly closes it and Lids those Who approsch to go to somic other exit or remmin content within, Along the noble paths of man nature will Dot permit a panlc or a crowd. While, therefore, a Paul i8 girding himself for travel on sea and Jaud, sume vtlicrsoul is passing from the outer world to the solitudu of o chamber to writo out the Fourth Gospel or tie Apocalypse {s some Patnios tull of silence aud God. While 8 Francls Xavier {s embarking on the ocean to preach the Gospel to barbarous tribes, Thomaa o' Kempls {3 passing into a convent to compuse in the depths of solltude the lmperishable * Tt~ tution of Christ.”” These filustrious examples will suflice to ex- pluin how the two great laws of love to God und love to man, moving away from the day when Christ spoke them fnto existence, expand nto a wide world of thought and expencuce which will never be welghed or measured again. In thought they are transfered into a hundred creeds, in experience they assume the forn of misslons or meditation, honesty, charity, humanlty thcyfilmhur 8,000 together in a taber- nacle ortead a'single pensive spirlt to o closet of prayer. Aristugfrom these two principles, all the doctrines of Christianity point to them agaln. Conversion fs a turning " to u better love of God and man; repentance {3 a regret that tho heart ever should liave despised such divine vriucl- ples; faith is an cffort to see In these laws the mission of earth, the glory of befng} baptism is au cmnblem that the soul is weshed white of all ftl-wiil toward Creator or brother; tho com- munion is a memory of God's love for mwun; and Immortality {tself {8 only o world where the vislou aud Jove of God Will be greater, and where the affection between man and man witl know no deception and cloud, aud will no longer luok forward with surrow to a gruve. ‘Thus, us thedoctrines of Clristionity arlse from one principle, so they all return to It, and strangely weave together thelr origin and thelr destiny. As the banyan tree, having branched out, bids its branches go down nfi“m into the nourishing carth, that they may loud thelr leaves ngain with the sweet food ™ of life, su the doctrines of rellglon, springing up frow the principles in the Mountain Sermon, go down into them again and again to draw new life frum thelr moter- earth, Tuese two {deus will always recelve all tho beat days of religlon Into themselves, The doctrines which add nothing to buman devotion to the Almighty nor to the human race will be cast out as unly camp-followers of anoblearmy; while every influence thut promoted righteous- ness or added beauty to worship or lite, whetlicr it was the immersion o1 the Buptist, or the music of the old Glorlg, or the modern revival, or the cloquence of Massfllon aud Robert Hall, or the camp-meetlsg du the forest, will be cluimed by the two great commandants as fragments of themselyves, the angels of thelr dispensation, To these two laws you m:x'.hrln your crecd for & new measurcineut. it Is enld the Pyramids were bullt that the Ewmplre of thie Nite. might flud forever in certain walls and chambers the stundard of every funn of measurement, 80 in these two principles of Jdesus—those pyrumids of murals—each Chrls- thun_ ean come und find the merit or demerit of his doctrlues, aud the shame or glory of his life.
