REV. DR. TALMAGE. THE BROOKLYN DIVINE S SUNDAY SERMON. Subject: *• Forgivcnne»s Before Sundown.*' Text: “Let not the sun oo down upon your wrath.”— Ephesians i\\, 36: What a pillow ©mbroidored of all colors bath the dying day. The cradle of clouds from which the sun rises is beautiful enough, but it is surpassed by the many colored mausoleum in which at evcuiug it iH buried. Sunset among the mountains! It almost takes one's breath away to recall the scene. The long shadows stretching over the plain made the glory of the departing lighten the tiptop crags and struck aslant through the foliage the more transpicuous. Saffron and cold, purple and crimson commingled. All the castles of cloud in conflagration. Burn ing Moscows on the sky. Hanging gardens of roses at their drop© st blush. Dinners of vapors, red as if from carnage, in the battle of the elements. The hunter among the Adi rondack s and the Swiss villager among the Alps know what is a 6uns?t among tlie mountains. After a storm at sea the roll ing grandeur into which the sun goes down to bathe at nightfall is something to make weird and splendid dreams out of for a lifetime. Alexander Smith in his poem com pares the sunset to “ the barren beach of hell,” but this wonderful spectacle cf nature maker me think of the burnished wall of heaven. Paul in prison writing my text remember seme of the gorgeous sunsets among the mountains of Asia Minor, and how he had often 6©en the towers of Damascus blare in the close of the Oriental days, and he flashes out that memory in the text when he says: “Let not th? sun go down upon your wrath.” Sublime and all suggestive duty for people then and people now. Forgiveuesu t-efor© sundown. He wLo never feels the throb of indignation is imbecile. He who can walk among tlio injustices of the world, inflict *1 upon himself and others, without flush of cheek or flash of eye or agitation of nature, is either in sympathy with wrong or semi idiotic. When Ananias, the high priest, or dered the constables of the court room to smite Paul in the mouth, Panl fired up and said: “God shall smite thee, thou whited wall.” In the sentence immediately before my text Paul commands the Ephesians: 4 Be ye angry and sin not.” It all depends on what you are mad at, and how long the feel ing lasts whether anger is right or wrong. Lire is full of exasperations. Saul after David, Succoth after Gideon, Korah after Moses, the Pasnuins after Augustus, the Pharisees after Christ,and every one has had his pursuers, and we are swindled or belied or misrepresented or persecuted or in some way wronged, and the danger is that healthful indignation shall become baleful spite, and that our feelings settle down into »i pro longed outpouring of temper displeasing to Goa and ruinous to ourselves, uu<i hence ttie important injunction of tin text: “Let not the sun go down upon your wrath.” Why that limitation to one’s anger? Why that p?riod of flaming vapor set to punctuate a flarai ?g disposition? What has the sunset got to do with one’s resentful emotions? Was It a haphazard sentiment written by Paul without special significance? No. no; I think of live reasons why we should not let the sun Bet before our temper sets. First, because twelve hours is long enough to be crosi about any wrong inflict© l upon us. Nothing is so exhausting to physical health or mental facultv as a protract© l in dulgence of ill h imor. It racks the nervous system. It hurts the digest on, it heat’s the blood in brain and heart until the whole body is first overheated and then depressed. Be side that, it sours the disposition, turns one aside from his legitimate work, expands en ergies that ought to be better employed, and does us more Harm than it does our antago nist. Paul gives us a good, wide al lowance of time for legitimate denunciation, from 6 o’clock to 0 o'clock, but says: “.Stop there!” Watch the descending orb of day,and when it reaches the horizon take a reef in your deposition. Unloose your collar and cool off. Change the subject to scm?thiog de lightfully pleasant. Unroll your tight flat and shake hands with some one. Dank up the fires at the curfew bell. Drive the growling dog of enmity bock to its kennel. The liours of this morning will pas; by, and the afternoon will arrive, and the sun will begin to set, and I beg you on its b!azmg hea: th throw all your feuds, invectives and satires. Other things b?ing equal the man who pre b rves good temper will come out An old essayist says that the celebrated John Henderson, of Bristol, England, was at a dining party where political exit >ment ran high and the debate got angry, and whi'o Henderson was speaking his opponent, un able to answer his argument, d ished a glass of wine in his face, when the speaker deliber ately wiped the liquid from his fare and sad: “This, sir, is a digression; now, if you p’eas?, for the main argument.” While worldly philosophy could help but very few to su h equipoise of spirit, the grace of God could help any man to 6uoh a triumph. “Im possible,” you say, “I would have either left the table in anger or have knocked the man down.” But 1 have come to believe that nothing is impossibly if God help me, since what I saw at Beth Shan faith cure in London, England two sum mers ago. While the religious service was going on Rev. Dr. Boardman, glorious man, ainre gone to his heavenly rest, was telling the score of sick people present that Christ was there as of aid to heal all ‘diseases, and that, if they would only believe, their sick ness would depart. 1 saw a woman ne ir me, with hand and arm twisted of rheumatism, and her wrist was fiery with inflammation, and it looked like those cases of chronio rheumatism which w© have all seen and sym pathized with, cases beyond all human heal ing. At the preacher s reiteration of the words: “Will you believe? Do you believe? Do you believe now ?” 1 heard this poor sick woman sav, with an emphasis which souuded through the building: ! ‘I do believe.” And then she laid her twisted arm and hand out as straight as your arm and hand, or mine. If I had seen one rise from the dead 1 would not have been much more thrilled. Since then I believe that God will do anything in an *** to our prayer and in answer to our faith, and can heal our bodies, and if our soul n all twisted and misshapen of revenge and hate and inflamed with sinful pro -hvity, he can straighten that also and make it well and clean. A/e, you will not postpone till sundown forgiveness of enemies if you can rtwlize that their behavior toward you mar hs put into the catalogue of the “all things ’ that “work together for good to thorn that Jove God.” I have had multitudes of friends, but I have found in my own oxpeneue© that God to arranged it that the great «*t opportunities of usefulness that have I con opened before me were opened by my ensures. And when, years ago, they conspired against me, that opened all Christendom to m » as a field in which to preach the Gospel. So vo,i may harness your antagonists to your best interests and compel them to draw you on to better work and higher character Muoinw. instead of waiting until six minutes pa-Ullve o’clock this evening, when the sun will act, you transact this glorious work of forgive ness before meridian. Again, we ought not to let the *»tn go down on our wrath, because we will sleep letter if we are at peace with evorylmdy, Imonnii U getting to be one of tho mi*t prevalent of diso 'em flow few people retire at 10 oclock at nigbt and sleep dear through tort In the morning t To relievo thin din truer narcotic* ami nodatives, and chloral, anil bromide of |witasniuni. and <*orain© and in toxicant* are used, but nothing Uinor> im portant than a quiet spirit if w© would win somnolence. How is a man going to sleep when he is in mind pursuing an enemy? With what nervous twitch he will start out of a dream! That new plan tor cornering his foe will keep him wide awake while tlie chick strikes 11, BJ, I, 2, 8, 4. I give you an nnfailiog prescription for wakeful ness, spend the evening hours rehearsing /our wrongs and the Get way of avenging them. Hold a convention of friends on this subject in your parlor or office at h or 9 V dock. Uo.« the evening by writing a bit ter letter, expressing your sentiments. Take from the desk or pigeon bole the papers in the case to refresh your mind with your evening s meannass. Then lie down and wait for the coming of the day, and it will come before sleep comes, or your sleep will be a worried quiescence, and if you take tlie precaution to lie flat on your back a frightful nightmare. Why not put a bound to your animosi ty? Why let your foes come into the sanctities or your dormitory ? Why let tho»» slanderers who have already torn your reputation to pieces or injured your bus in ess, bend over your midnight pillow and drive from you one of the greatest blessings that God can offer— sweet, refreshing, all invigorating sleep? Why uot fence out your enemkra by the golden bars of th© suusetf Why not stand beh.nd tho barricade of evening c'oud and say to them: “ Thus fur and no farther I” Many a man and many a woman is haying the health of body as well as the health of soul eaten away by a malevolent spirit. 1 hava in time of religious awakening had per sons night after night com© into the inquiry room and get no peat© of soul. After a while 1 have hluiuiy asked her: “Is there n»t some one against whom you have a hatred that you are not williug to give up?” After a little confusion she has slightly whispered: “Yes.” Then 1 said to her: "You will never find peace with God as long as you r. tain that virulence.” A boy in Sparta, having stolen a fox, kept him under his mat, and, though the fox was gnawing his vitals, he submitted to it rather than exposeh s misdeed. Mnuy a man with a siniiiiig face hi> under his jacket an nni moe ty that is gn iwing away tlie strength of his body and the integrity of his soul. Better pet rid of that hidden fox as soon as possible. There are hundreds of domestic circles where that which most is needed Is the spirit of for giveness. Brothers apart and sisters apart anil parents and children ai»art Solomon says a brother offended is harder to be won than n strong city. Are there not enough sacred memories of your ehilhood t > bring von together ? The rabbins recount how that Nebuchadnezzar's son had such a spite against his father that after he was dead he had Uis father burned to ashes, and then put the ashes into four sacks, and tied them to four eagles' necks which flew away in opposite directions. And there ore now domestic antipathic* which seem forever to have scattered all Ett rental memories to the four winds of leaven. How far tho ©n~le* tly with the sacred adies! The hour of sundown makes to that family nopra tie d suggestion. Thomas Carlvle, in his b ographv of Frederick the Great, says th? old king was toM by the con fessor he must le at pea •© with his enemkH if he wanted to enter Innveu. Then he said to his wife, the Queen: “Write to your brother after 1 ain dead tint I forgive him.” Ro’off, the confessor, said: 4 liar majesty had better write him imiu d utch*.” “No,” said the King, “after 1 am dead; that will ho safer. ’ Ho he let the sun of his earthly existence go down upon his wrath. Again: We might not to allow the sun to set before forgiveness takes place, because we might not live to see ninth- rday. And what. If we should l*' ushered into the presence of our Maker with a grudge upon our soul? The majority of people depart this life ill the nignt. Between 11 o'clock p. m. and 3 o'clock a in. there is something in tlie atmosphere which relaxes the grip which the bodv has on the soul, and moat people enter the next world through the shadows of this world. Perhaps God may have arranged it in that way so as ’ to make the con trast the more glorious. 1 have seen sunshiny days in this world that must have b.*en almost like the radiance of heaven. But ns most people leave the earth between sun down and sunrise, they quit this world at its darkest, and heaven, alwtvs bright, will be the brighter for that contrast. Out of black ness into irradiation. Shall we then leap over the roseate bank of sunset into the favorite hunt ug ground of disease and d-*ath, carry ing our annuodti*s with us? Who would want to confront h's God, against whom we have ail done meaner things than anybody has ever don> against us, carrying old grudges? How can wc expect his forgive nets for lh« r renter when we are not willing to tofgive others tho less? •Napoleon was eneouragt'd to undertake the crossing of the Alps beesm > Carlemacn* had previously crawl them. An I all this rugged path of forgiveness boars the bleeding footst>ps of him who conquered through suffering, and we ought to be willing to fol low. On the night of our departure from this life into the next, our one plea will have to be for mercy, and it will have to be offered in the presence of him who has said: “If you forgive not men their treu passes neither will your heavenly Father for give your trvspaivses. ’ Wliat a sorry plight if we'stand then' hating this one, and hating that one, ami wishing this one a damage and some one else a calamity, and we ourselves needing forgiveness for ten thousand times ten thousand obliquities of heart and life. Wh *n our last hour cornua, we want it to find us all right. Hardly anything affects me so much in the uncovering of ancient I'o iifoii a< the account of the soldier who, after the city had for many centuries been covered w.th the ashes and scorin' of Vesuvius, was found standing in his | dare on guard, hau l on spear and hemlet on head. <Hhers tied at Um awful submergement. but tlie explorer, 1.700 years after, found the body of that brave fellow in right position. And it w ill be a grand thing if, when our la t moment comes, we are found in right position toward the world, ns well as in right pos.tiun toward God, on guard and iii.sßiuhtcdhy the ashes from the mountain of death. Ido not suppose Hint I am any more of a coward than most people, but I declare to you that 1 would not dare to sleep to night if there were any In'ing in all the earth with whom 1 w«mid not gladly shake hands, lest during tlie night hours, my soul dismissed to other realms, I should, because of my unforgiving spirit, be dental di v in© forgiveness. “ But.” aays some woman, “ there is a hor rid creature that ha; so injured me that rather than make up with her I would die first,” Well, sister, you may take vour choice— for one or the other' it will be -your com plete pardon of her or God's eternal banish men! of you. “But,” says some man “tbit fellow who clteatd me out of thee© goods, or damaged my business credit, or skirted the lie al*»ut me in tlie newspapers, or by his perfidy broke up my domes tic happiness, forgive him 1 cannot—for give him I will not.” Well, brother, take your choice. You will never be at peace w ith God till you are at peace with mau. Feeling as you now do. you would not get uo near the harU>r of heaven as t*» see the light ship. Better leave that man with theGoil who said: “Vengeance is mine, 1 will repay.” You may say: “I will make him sweat for that yet, 1 will make him aquirut, I mean to pun»uo him to the death,” but you ure da n “g‘*ig yourself more than you damage him and you are inakiug heaven for your own soul an impossibility. If lie will not Iw reconciled to you, be reconciled to him. In five or six hours it will I*' sundown The dahlia* will soon bloom against the western sky. Somewhere let ween thu and that take a shovel and bury tho «>M grudge at least six feet Ueoji. “Let not the sun go down on your wrath. * “But,” you say, “I have more than 1 can bear; too much is put upon me, and 1 am not to I dame if 1 mu somewhat revongelul and unrelenting.'* Th«n 1 tluuk of the Mlfcchild •t the moving of s •me goods from n store. Tlie father was putting sonic rolls of cor?la mi the child's arm, after package, and some one said: “ i list child i< being over loaded and so much «night not to be put upon her,” when the child responded: “Fattier knows how much I can carry;” and d«L our Father, will ..nt *... ©• ton uiu**h mq ~Uon on Ids children. In the dav of eternity it will 14* found you had n«»t one annoyance too many, not one asper-imi too many, n«*t one outrage too man v. Your heaieiily Father know-show much you «*an carry. Again, w© ought not to allow the pomafißS of Uh» sunset hour lief ora the dismissal of all our affronts, Iwcause we may nwvw'iato the suhlimert act on of I Ik* soul with the suhlim «wt s|xM-tac> iii nature. It :a n most delight •Otns thing to have our personal experiences allied with certain obiwta Thera m a tree or river hank wliere God first answered your prayer. You will never |t*w that plain or think of that pine* witiiout thinking of ths glorious c*Hurauni<’ti. There wan sw' gnte. or -nine room, or soim garden walk whet* yuu were tuflaujed with the companion who has been your chief joy in life. You never speak of that place but with a | •mile. Homo of you have pleasant memories . connected with the evening star, or the moon in its first quarter, or with tho 'sunrise, bo- ; cause you saw it just as you were arriving at j harbor after a tempestuous voyage. Forever ] and forever, O hearer, associate the sunset with your magnanimous, out and out, un limited renunciation of all hatreds and for giveiiess ’of all foes. 1 admit it is the most difficult of all graces to practice, and at tho start you may make n complete failure, but keep on in the attempt to practice it. Shakespeare wrote ten plays before ho reached “Hamlet,” and seventeen plays before he rea< hed “Merchant of Venice, I’and 1 ’and twenty eight plays before ha roach “Mac beth. And gradually you will come from th© easier gl a res to tho pioit difficult. Be • de that, it is not a matter of personal deter min it ion •) much as the laying hold of ths almighty arm of God, who will help us to do anything we ought to do. Remember that in nil personal controversies tho one least to blamo will have to take the first step at pacification, if it is ever effective. Tho contest between zEschinos and Aristippus resounds through history, bub Aristippus who was least to blame, went to Aeschines and said: “Shall we not agree to be friends liofore wo make ourselves the laughing stock of the whole country.” And .Eschines said: “Thou art a far better man than I. for 1 began the quarrel, but thou hast been the first in healing the breach,” ami they were always friends alter wards. Ho let the one of you that is least to blame take ths first step toward conciliation. Tlie one most in the never take it. Oh, it makes one feet splendid to be able by God's help to practice unlimited forgiveness. It improves one's body and soul. It will make you measure throe or four more inches around the chest, anil improve your respiration so that you can take a deep er and longer breath. It improves the conn* tonanco by scattering the gloom, ami bright ening the forehead, and loosening the pinched look about the nostril and lip, ami makes yon somewhat like God Himself. He is omnipo tence, and we cannot copy that, 110 is inde pendent of all the universe, and we cannot copy that. He is creative, an lwe cannot copy that. He is omnipresent, and we cannot copy t Imts But He forgives with a broad sweep sll faults, an 1 all neglect, and all insults, and all wrong doing, and in that we miy copy him with mighty -success. Go harms* tint sublime notion of your soul to an nutuiui al •unset, the hour when the gate of heaven opens to let tho day into the eternities amt some of the glories escape this way through the briof opening. We talk about the Italian sunsets, an l BttflMt nm d IlioAp- B mines, and sunset amid the Cordilleras. ut I will toll you how you may soe a grander sunset than any mere lover of nature ever lie held; that is, bv flinging into it all your hatreds and animosities, and let the horses of tire tnunplo them, uud the chariots of fire roll over them, and the sjiearmen of flro •tab them, and tho breath of lire consume them, and the bi..>j*>s of fire overwhelm them. The sublimed thing God docs is the luiiset. The sublimes? thing you can do is ’orgiveness. Along the glowing hanks of ill is coining eventide let the diving an 1 the nuninn !>e concurrent Again: We should not let the sun go down >n our wrath because it is of little importance what, tho world says of you or does to you when you have the affluent Goi of the sunset is your provider and defender. People aix as though it were a fixed spec tacle of nature and always the sains. But no one ever saw two sunsots alike, ind if tho world has existed 0,0;K) years there have been about ”, 11K),000 sunsets, each of them as distinct from all the other pictures in the callery of the sky as Titian’s “La*;t Sup per, Rubens’ “Deicent from the • Cross,” Raphael's “Transfiguration” and Michael Angelo's “Last Judgment” are distinct from each other. If that God, of such Infinite reeouces that he can put on the wall of the sky each night more t han the Louvre, and tlie Luxemlmurg, and the Vatican, and tho Dresden and Venetian galleries all in one, Is my Gol and your God, our provider and. protector, what is tho uso of our worry ing about any human antagonism* If we are ansi qferpreted, the God of the many colored tunaet can put the right color on our action. Cf ha can afford to hang such masterpieces aver the outside wall of heaven and have them obliterated in an hour, he must be very rich in resources and can put us through in wfety. If a!l the garniture of the western leavens at eventide is but tin upholstery of me of the windows of our future home, what unall business for us to 1»3 chasing enemies 1 (jet not this Sabbath sun go down u]>on your wrath. Mahomest said '"The sword is the key of Heaven and hell, a drop of bloo.l shod is bet ter than fasting, and wounds in the day of judgment resplendent as vermilion and odor iferous as musk.” But. my hearers, in the last day we will find just the opposite of that to he true, and that tin sword never un tucks he iven, and that he who heals wounds b greater th »n ho who makes them, and that >n tho same ring are two keys: God’s for fftvonon of us and ourfargive.iesiofenomiei; in i three two k ?ys unlock Paradise. And now* I wish for all of you a lieiutfful iunset in your earthly existence. With s one nf you it has been a lons day of trouble, and with others of you it will be far from calm.

Th© assumed rapid decrease of the public debt of tho United States, as shown in the statements published, has seemed very mar velous to foreigners. The experience of other nations with their public debts leads them <o doubt the statements of this country. Most of them have continually increasing instead cf decreasing national debts. How then, they ask, can the United States diminish its debt so rapidly? The prosperity of the people during all there years has been unabated. In fact the coun- Try has never seen such an era of general prosperity. The two conditions appear to be contradictory. Are the statements true? In one sense they are undoubtedly correct, but the public debt has largely increased since the war. It has accumulated to the great inventors and discoverers whose suc cessful efforts have eased the burdens of labor and madenleasant the pathways of toil. A grateful public should also acknowledge its indebtedness to those who have promoted health and happiners. The proprietors of Warner’s safe cure have given to the public a specific for all kidney disorders, and the in numerable train of frightful diseases that me caused by them. The late public teacher, Dr. Dio Lewis, who seldom prescribed medicines of any sort, gave to this renowned specific his warm commendation, and said if he found i himself suffering from any kidney disorder he should use it. Kidney disorders are the cause of U 3 per cent., say the proprietors of that remedy, of all diseases. If you keep the kidneys in health, you have the greatest as surance of freedom from all disease. Before tho discovery of this remedy, bright’s disease was deemed incurable, Now the number of victims of the dread kidney diseases, and all others caused by such diseases, who are by it snatched from death, constantly increases, and as the efficacy or the remedy becomes more widely known those who have reason to be devoutly thank ful that this wonderful specific has been made known to the world, multiply with rapidly increasing ratio. A Remarkubio Fossil. Professor H. G. Seeley exhibited the most remarkable fossil which has ever been found to the geologists. This fos sil showed the development of the young of plesiosaurus. Until iliis fossil had been found and forwarded to him he had sought throughout the collections of Europe for ev.deface on that develop ment, but without success. No incident in the history of fossiLizat’on was more singular than that which this specimen i disp’ayed. The fossil was a series of I mummies of minute plesiosaurs, less than live inches in length, which had the sub stance of their flesh perfectly preserved and their bones preserved within the flesh. The remains showed different conditions of development. This was the only case that had ever occurred of the mineralization of the muscular sub stance and the preservation of the exter- | nal form of these animals ; and so perfect ! was the preservation that the circle of the eje was preserved, and the constit uent bones could l>e*«listinguished.— Pall Mall Gazette.

It is now tlie rule for these Bohemian tribes to speak English among themselves, and even in the cases in which the Romany is still talked it is so mixed up with modern slang ns to have lost nearly all its linguistic significance. Th’s being so, it is not to be supposed that the gypsies will be anxious, as some of their champions have said, to insure instruction in Romany for their children when the latter come under the control of the School Board authorities. —Figaro.
