REV/DR. TALMAGE. ME BROOKLYN DIVINE’S SUNDAY SERMON. “ Subject: Defense of Young: Men.'* Text. "And the Lord opened the eyes oj the young man."—lL Kings vi., 17. One morning in Dothan a young theologi cal student was scared by finding himself and Elisha, the prophet, upon whom he waited, surrounded by a whole army of enemies. But conerable Elisha was not scared at all, be cause he saw the mountains full of defense for him, in chariots made out of fire, wheels of fire, dashboard of fire and cushions of fire, drawn by horses with nostrils of fire, and manes of fire, and haunches of fire, and hoofs of fire—a supernatural appearance that could not be seen with the natural eye. So the old f minister prayed that the young minister might see them also, and the prayer was an swered, and the Lord opened the eyes of the young man and he also saw the fiery proces sion, looking somewhat, I suppose, like the Adirondacks or the Alleghenies in this au tumnal resplendence. Many young men, standing among the most tremendous realities, have their eyes half shut or entirely closed. May God grant that my sermon may open wide your eyes to your safety, your opportunity and your des tiny. A mighty defense for a young man is a good home. Some of my hearers look back with tender satisfaction to their early home. It may have been rude and rustic, hidden among the hills, and architect or upholsterer naver planned or adorned it. But all the fresco on princely walls never looked so en ticing to you as those rough hewn rafters. You can think of no park or arbor of trees planted on fashionable country seat so at tractive as the plain brook that ran in front of the old farmhouses and sang under the weeping willows. No barred gateway, adorned with statue of bronze, ana swung open by obsequious porter in full dress, has half the glory of the swing gate. Many of you have a second dwelling place, your adopted home, that vtlso is sacred forever. There You built the first family altar. There your children were born. All those trees you planted. That room is solemn, because once in it, over the hot pillow, flapped the wing of death. Under that roof you expect when your work is done to lie down and die. You try with many words to toll the excellency ©f the place, but you fail. There is only one word in the language that can describe your meaning. It is home. Now, I declare that a young man is com paratively safe who goes out into the world with a charm like this upon him. The mem ory of parental solicitude, watching, plan ning and praying, will be to him a shield and a shelter. I never knew a man faithful both to his early and adopted home, who at the same time was given over to any gross form of dissipation or wickedness. He who seeks his enjoyment chiefly from outside associa tion, rather than f* cm the more quiet and unpresuming pleasures of which I have spoken, may be suspected to be on the broad road to ruin. Absalom despised his father’s house, and vou know his history of sin and his death of shame. If you seem unneces sarily isolated from yc ar kindred and former associates, is there not some room that you can call your own ? Into it gather books and pictures and a harp. Have a portrait over the mantel. Make ungodly mirth stand back from the threshold. Consecrate some spot with the knee ot prayer. By the memory of other days, a fathers counsel and a mother’s love, and a sistei s confidence, call it home. Another defense for a young man is indus trious habit. Many young men, iu starting upon life in this age, expect to make their way through the world by the use of their wits rather than the toil of their hands. A child now goes to the city and fails twice be fore he is as old as his father was when he first saw the spires of the great town. Sit tine income office rented at fI,OOO a year, he is waiting for the bank to declare its divi dend, or goes into the market expecting be fore night to be made rich by the rushing up of the stocks. But luck seeme iso dull he re solved on some other tack. Perhaps he bor rows from his employer's morey drawer and forget© to put it back, or for merely the purpose of improving his penmanship makes a copy plate of a merchant’s signature. Never mind, all is right in trade. In 6ome dark night there may come in his dreams a vision of Blackwell s Isla? d, or of Sing Sing, but it soon vanishes. In a short time he will be ready to retire from the busy world, and amid his flocks and herds culture the domestic virtues. Then those young men who onoe were his school mates, and knew no better than to engage in honest work, will come with their ox teams to draw him logs and with their hard hands help heave up his castle. This is no fancy picture. It is every day life. I should not wonder if there were some rotten beams in that beautiful palace. I should not wonder if dire sicknesses should smite through the young man, or if God should pour into his cup of life a draught that would thrill him with unbearable agony I should not wonder if his children should become to bun a living curse, making his homsm pest and a disgrace. I should not wonder if be goes to a miserable grave, and beyond it into the gnashing of teeth. The way of the ungodly sh .11 perish. My young friends, there is no way to genu ine success except through toil either of the ru/Th .?/ At the battle of frecy in Pi*** rnn “ of Walos, finding himself heavily pressed by the enemy., sent word to his father for help. The father, n otching the battle from a windmill and seeing that his son was not wounded and could goin the day if he would, scot word: “No; I will not come, Let the boy win his spurs, for, if SitJuS: 1 d n*“?r thatthi * day be his with \ oan * man > your own lattle all through and you shall have the -fetory. Oh, It is a loittle worth fighting. 7 wo monarch, of old fought a duel, Charles V. and Frauds, and the stakes were king doms—Milan and Burgundy. You light with sin and the stakes are heaven and hell. Bo not get the fatal idea that you aro a genius, and that therefore there is no need of close application. It is here whore multi tudes fail. The great curse of this ago is the geniuses, men with enormous self conceit and egotism and nothing else. 1 had rather he an ox than an eagle; plain, and plodding,and useful, rather than high flying and good for nothing but to pick out the eyes of carcasses. Kxtroordinary capacity, without use is extra ordinary failure. There is no hope for that person who begins his life resolved to live by ms wits, for the probability is ho has not an F- I® ' as not safe for Adam, even in his unfallen state, to have nothing to do, t™ 1 kJ i“ eie f° re , commanded him to he a f.rmer and i.orticulturist.

There is a certain wlll^^,^'/''"' 1 ' 1 r '* pect for u, « Sabbath will be to the young man a powerful preserv thrust into toil and fatigue of life a recreative day. when the soul is ee;wcially to Is. fed. It is no new Jangled notion of a wild brained reformer pnt an institution established at the begin-! ning. Hod has made natural and moral laws •o harmonious that the body as well as the aoul dem -Is this 1. : -utlon Our &d£ »re wren day clocks, that must tie wound up as often as that, or they will run down. Failure must come sooner or later to the man who breaks the Sabbath. Inspiration has railed it the Lord’s day, and he who devotes it to the world is guilty of robbery. God will not let the sin go unpunished, either in this \vorld or the world to coma While the divine frown must rest upon him who tramples upon this statute, God’s special favor will be upon that young man who scrupulously observes it. This day, properly observed, will throw a hallowed in fluence over all the week. The song and sar .vion and sanctuary will hold back from pro sumptuous sins. That young man who begins the duties of life with either secret or open disrespect of the holy day, I venture to prophesy, will meet with no permanent suc cesses. God's curse will fall upon his ship, his store, his office, his studio, nis body and his soul. The way of tho wicked he turncth upside down. In or.e of the old raolcs it was said that a wonderful ohil i was born in Bag dad and a magician could hear his footsteps 6.0 0 miles away. But I can hear in the so >t>- step of that young man. on his way to the bouse of worship this morning, step not only of a lifetime of usefu’ness, but tne coming step of eternal joys of heaven yet millions of miles away. There are magnificent possibilities before each of you young men of the stout heart, and the buoyant step and tho bounding spirit. I would marshal you for grand achievement. God now provides for you the fleet and the armor and the fortifications. Who is on the Lord’s side? The captain of the zouaves in ancient times, to encourage them against the immense odds on the side of their enemies, said: “Come, my men. ook these lellows in.the faco. They are 0,000, you are 500. Burely tho match is even.” That speech gave them tho victory Be not, my h-arer, disraaved at any timo by what s*oms an immense odds against you. {s fortune, is want of education, are men, are devi’s against you? Though the multitudes of earth and hell confront you, stand up to the charge. With 1,00),000 against you the match is just even. Nay, you have a decided advantage. If God be for us, who can be against us? Thus protected, you need not •pend much time in answering your assa i ants. Many years ago word came to me that two Impost irs, as temperance lecturers, had been speaking in Ohio in various places nnd giv ing their experience, and they told their audience that they had long been intimate with me and had become drunkards by dining at my table, where I always had liquors of all sorts. Indignant to the last digree I wont down to Patrick Campbell, chief of Brooklyn police, saying I was going to start that nizht to Ohio to have thrse vil lians arrested, and I wanted him to tell me how to make the arrest. He smiled and said: “Do not waste your time by chas ing these men. Go homo and do your work, and they can do you uo harm.” I took his counsel and all was well. Long ago I made up my mind that if ono will put his trust in God and be faithful to duty he need n t fear any evil. Have God on your side, young man. and all the combined forces of earth and hell can do no damage. And this leads me to say that the might;es of all defense for a young man is the posses sion of thorough religious principle. No'liing can take the place of it He may have man ners that would put to shame the graceful ness and courtesy of a Lord Chesterfield. For eign languages may drop from his tongue. He may be able to discuss literatures and laws and foreign customs. He mav wield a pen of unequaled polish and power. His quick ness and tact may qualify him for the high est salary of the counting house. He may be as sharp as Herod and as strong as Samson, with as fine locks as those which hung Absa lom, still ho is not safe from contamina tion. The more elegiut his manner, and che more fascinating his dress, the more peril. Batan does not care much for the allegiance of a coward and illiterate being. He cannot bring him into efficient service. But he loves to storm that castle of character which has in it the most spoils and treasures. It was not some crazy ‘-raft creeping along the coast with a valueless cargo that the pir ite at tacked, but the ship, full winged and flagged, plying between great ports, carrying its million of specie. The more'your natural and acquired accomplishments, the more need of the religion of Jesus. That does not. cut in upon or hack up any smoothness of disposition or behavior. It gives symmetry it arrests that in the soul which <aight te be arrested, and propels that which to be propelled. It fills up the gulleys. It elevates and transforms. When the Holy Spirit impresses the imago of God on the heart he does not spoil the canvas. If in all the multitudes of young men upon whom re ligion has acted you could find one nature that had teen the least damaged, I would yield this proposition. You may now hsve enough strength of character to repel the various temptations to gross wickedness which assail you, but I do not know in what strait you may be thrust at s. me future time. Nothing short of the grace ts the cross may thorite able to deliver you from the lions. You are not meeker than Moses, nor holier than David, nor more pa tient than Job, and you ought not to < oasider yourself invulnerab.e. You may have some weak point of character that you li«av b never discovered, and in some hour when you aro assaulted the Philistines will Ire upon thee, Saim-on. Trust not in ycur good habits, or your early training, or your pride of character; nothing sioit of the arm of Almighty God w ill te sufficient to uphold you. You look for war 1 to the world sometimes with a chilling despondency. Cheer up! I will tell you how you all may make a fortune. “Peek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness and all other things will be added unto you.” I know you don< t want to be moan in this matter. Give God the freshness of your life. You will not have the heart to drink down the brimming cup of life and then pour the dreg’s on God’s alfcir. To a Haviour ho infinitely generous you have not the heart to act like that. That is not brave, that is not honorable, that is net manly. Your greatest want in all the world is a new heart. In God’s name I tell you that. And the Blessed Spirit press * through the tolemnities and privi leges of this holy hour. I’ut the cup ot I:**2 eternal to your thirsty bps. Thrust it not back. Mercy offers it,'bleeding mercy, long suffering mercy. Iteioet all other friend ships; te ungrateful for all other kindness, prove recreant to all other bargains, Lut despise God s love for your immortal soul— don’t you do that. I would like to s?e some of you this hour press out of ranks of the world and lay your eonqueri-d spirit at tho feet of Jesus. This hour is no wandering vagabond stagger ing over the earth: it is a winged messenger of the skies whispering mercy to thy toul. Life is «u ootli now, but after a while it may be rough, wild and precipitate. There comes a crisis in tho history of every man. We seldom understand tnat turning point until it is far pant. The road of life is forked and I read ou two signboards: “ This is the way to happiness,’ “This is the way to ruin.’ How apt ere we to pass the forks of the road without thinking whether it com s out at the door of bfcEs or the galas of dtrkne s. Many yeais ago 1 stood on the anniversary platform with a minister of Christ who made this reinirkable statement: “Thirty years ago two young men started out in ♦ he evening to attend the l ark Iheatre, New N ork, where a play was to te acted in which the cause of religion was to te placed in a ridiculous and hypocritical light They came te the steps. Tim consei of teth smote th m. One started to go home, hut returned again to the door, an i yet bad not courage to enler, and finally de parted. But the other young men entered tho pit of the theatre. It was tne turning point in the history of those two young men. The man who entered was cau/Ht in the whirl of temptation. Ho sank rl*v per and e'eeper in infamy. He wau lo*\ Tho other young man was saved, and 1 e bow stands before you te bless God that for tw-ntv years he has l>een permitted te preach tho Gospel. “Kejeice, O young man, in thy j outb, and let thy heart cheer thee in the dayr, of thy youth; but know thou that for ail thest things Uorl will bring thee into judgment” It is stated that the height of the Eng- Imli anxtwrary *iax *on.i<l<Tabl V in creased within the last 500 years.

The Bibliotheque Royale, Paris, was founded with only twenty books in 1340. It is now one of the finest libraries in Europe, especially rich in ancient manu scripts. Tobacco was discovered in San Do mingo in 1493; afterward by the Span iards in Yucatan in 1520. It was intro duced into Franco in 1560, and England in 1583. The first steps looking toward the foundation of the present city of New | Orleans were taken by the French Gov ernor, Bienville, in 1718, when a party of convicts were sent to clear up the swamp that was chosen as its site. According to a celebrated French as tronomer, the total number of stars visi ble to the average naked eye does not exceed 6,000. An ordinary opera glass will bring out 20,000; a small telescope will bring out nearly 200,000, nnd the most powerful telescope 100,000,000. An astonishing firearm has been intro ! duced into France. It is of French origin, nnd is -wonderful in the results obtained. At 3,000 feet distance ninety eight per cent, of the balls hit a number of baskets representing a company of soldiers. Col.

A case of poisoning by nutmeg is re corded in the British Medical Journril , in which one nutmeg had been eaten by a patient as a cure for him to 'become giddy, stupid and very drowsy nil next day. The narcotic properties of all these feeds, nnd of oth ers of the fame natural order, do not ap pear to be generally known, and seem worthy of investigation. Horses Cleaned by Steam. In the basement or ground floor of the Palmer House livery stables two em ployes stood on cither side of a large, powerfully built horse which was un dergoing his daily toilet—in stable par lance, “gittin’cleaned and curried.” In exactly forty seconds the animal was turned over to his keeper as bright as a new’ pin—not a spec/, of dirt no; a turned hair to be seen on his sleek, shiny coat. His step seemed brisker, and he acted much like a person who has had an invigorating bath. In two houro’ time no less than 150 horses, big and little, had received their daily clean-up, and were ready to prance out into society. The cause of this revolution in the art of horse cleaning, rubbing down and currying—all in one—is a simple con trivance, a movable shaft, at one end of which is a circular brush composed of fairly stiff bristles. The brush, which is run by steam, revolves many hundred times a minute, and is guided by the c leaner. Two of these cleaners, operat ing with the brushes on one animal, can accomplish more in a minute than can four men with the old style brush and curry-comb in twenty minute.— Chicago News. Wind nnd Endurance in Running. Tho essential requisites of a long-dis tance runner are a strong heart and ca pacious lungs in a broad,deep and mobile chest. The reason for this will be ap parent to tho.c who understand the physiology of exercise To sustain long continued exertion latent energy in the muscle> used is necessary, and a'so a ready means of supplying these mu cles with an increased amount of oxygen while in action, nnd of carrying away Ihe carbonic &iki that results from the combustion in the tissues. Hence the necessity of breathing faster while run ning than while walking, and unless this exchange of gases can be carried on with tufticient rapidity and in sufficient quan tities to meet the demands of the organ ism under these trying circumstances, there soon come*s an end to further mus cular activity. though the muscles thetn telves may be far from exhausted.— Scribner'B Magazine. Peasants Seared by a Balloon. The Russian peasantry appear to b< •tink in ignorance and superstition. Dur ing the recent eclipse of the sun three famous Russian savants descended iu a balloon at a village in the neighborhood of Moscow, whereupon the peasants rushed out of their houses, shouting: “Let us shoot these evil beasts that have darkened the sun.” The savants were lucky to escape with their lives, but the balloon was destroyed, being regarded in an Instrument of the devil. The eclipse threw the peasantry into par oxysnis of terror and apprehension wherever it was visible.— London Truth Sumatra lias a flower which grows te nine feet iu circumference auu weighs fifteen pounds.

The great chieftain who lies buried at River side, no doubt, felt tho full force of tl.j T»yer: “Let us have peace.” He had learned that “Civil war leaves nothing but tombs.” The greatest military heroes have not been ' those who shed blood for the love of it Wellington said: “Take my word for it, if you had seen but one day of war, you would pray to Almighty God that you might never see such u thing again.” The sentiment that war is a “relic of bar barism” and—as a method of settling inter national differences—should be shelved with other obsolete relics of darker ages, is a growing one. The idea of arbitration is more befitting modern civilization. But it is recognized that the sentiment “Let ns have i>eace” must be given a broader meaning if its full benefit is to be realized. We see the catholicity w hich-tho trend of modern thought develops in the efforts for the union of the churches, the striking down of the barriers which have teen a hindrance to the advancement of the true faith. It is noticeable too, in tho leniency, grow ing yearly more marked, shown by the med ical schools toward each other. Time was, when a practitioner of one school willingly, ■ if not gladly, noted the death of a patient of a physician of another school. The “brother J hood of man” ideas of the present day took j no root in the medical profession of a quarter of a century ago. Now, physicians of the highest standing admit, and dare publish te the world, their belief in the efficacy of that professional tele uot'r, the proprietary medicine. The late Dr. J. G. Holland, an educated phj’sician, some years ago wrote in Scribners Muqazine, of which he was editor: “It is a fact that many of the best proprietary m<.*d icines of the day are more successful than many physicians, and most of them were first discovered and used in actual medical practice.” Millions of people all over the world con firm this statement. The celebrated Dr. R. A. Gunn, of the Medical Coliege of New York, in ni3 pub lished book, recommends the use of Warner's safe cure in cases of bright's disease, and other kidney disorders, and says he knows the remedy is used by leading physicians. It not only cures kidney disease, but the many other common named diseases which would not prevail were the kidneys sound. That great public teacher, Dr.,Dio Lewis, j had the courage to write to the proprietors pt Warner's safe cure, after a full investi gation of its merits: “If I found myself the victim of a serious kidney trouble, I should use your preparations.” The serious nature of kidney disorders is that they are the real J cause of nearly all the diseases from which |we suffer. If, therefore, the kidneys are kept in health, we shall escape all such diseases. The world is growing more tolerant, as in telligence increases; Graht but voiced vlie growing sentiment when he prayed “Let r.s have peace,” and Tennyson budded better than he knew when he wrote: ** Ring out old shapes of foul disease: R:ng out the narrowing lust of cold; King out the thousand years of old.

This vote was made up, even according to tho admission of its enemies, from the morality, intelligence and respecta bility of the Btuto, which, io a minority, is equivalent to a victory.

In illustra tion further of facts which settle the points of a prompt and permanent cure, the fol lowing cases are cited; In 1884 Mrs. Manr K. Sneed suffered terribly with chronic neuralgia. She writes from 1110 Maryland Avenue, Washington, D. C. In the first in stance she states: “I suffered terribly with neuralgia in the face; very severe attack extending to hack and shoulders; sunerca intensely. Tried St. Jacobs Oil; had parts well rubbed at night; in-the morning all pain gone, magically.” June 10, 1887, she writes from 224 Eleventh Street, £. W., as follows: “Four years ago I sent you a vol untary certificate setting forth the fact that I had been a great sufferer with neuralgia in my face, neck nnd shoulders. I obtained a bottle of St. Jacobs Oil, and after three ap plications I was entirely relieved from all pain, and from that time to the present I have never had a return. The effect was miraculous.” Again, Feb. 6, 1887, Mr. R. G. Troll, St. Louis, Mo., writes: “In March, 1881,1 suffered terribly with neuralgia; had suffered nearlv three* years. Applied fit. Jacobs Oil at 8.15 A. M.; at 8.40 tf*ok the rag oft'; at 9A. M. went to work. In less than five minutes after that the pain was gone. The one application cured me.
