This sermon of Dr. Talmage is a great encourage- meat to Tvomen who have to earn their own living, as well as toU toilers with hand or brain; text, ; Proverbs xiv, 1, "ErerT wise woman btiildeth her house.? Woman a mere adjunct to man, an appendix to the masculine volume, an appendage, a sort of afterthought, some thing thrown in to make things even that is the heresy entertained and im plied for acme men. This is evident to them, because Adam was first created, and then Eva They den't read the whole itcry, or they would find that the porpoise and . the bear and tho hawk were created before" Adam, so that this argument, drawn from priority cf crea ticn, might prove that the sheep and the dog were greater than man. No. Woman was an independent creation and waa intended, if she chose, to live alone, to work alone, act alone, think alone and . fight her battles alcne. The Eible says it is not good for man to be alone, but never says it is not good' for woman to be alone, and tho simple fact is that many women .who are harnessed for life in the marxiago relation Mould be a thousandfold better off if they were alone. Who are these men who year after year hang around hotels end engine houses and theater doors and come in and out to bother busy clerks and mer chants and mechanics, doing nothing when there is plenty to do? They are men supported by their wives end moth ers.lf the statistics of any of our cities could be taken on this subject, you would find that a vast multitude of wo men not only support themselves, but uascaliaaa. A great legion ox men amount to nothing, and a woman by marriage manacled to one of these non entitles needs condolence. A woman standing outside the marriage relation la several hundred thousand times bet ter off than a woman badly married. Many a bride, instead cf a wreath of orange tnossoms, migm more properiy . a t "1 wear a hunch of nettles and nightshade, and instead of the wedding march a more appropriate tune would bo the dead march in "Saul," and instead of a banquet cf confectionery and ices there might be more appropriately spread a table covered with apples of Sodom. Miitakes of Marriage. Many an attractive woman of good sound sense in other things has married one of these men to reform him. What waa the result? Like when a dove, no tlcing that a vulture was rapacious and cruel, set about to reform it and said, "I have a mild disposition, and I like peace and waa brought up in the quiet of a dovecot, and I will bring the vul ture to the same liking by marrying him," bo one day, after tho vulture de- clared he would give up his carnivorous habits and cease longing for blood of flock and herd, at an altar of rock cov ered with mesa and lichen the twain wtre married, a baldheaded eagle offi ciating, the vulture saying, "With all my dominion cf earth and sky I thee endow and premise to love and cherish till death do us part." But ene day the dove in her fright saw the vulture busy at a carcass and cried : "Stop thatl Did you not promise me that you would quit your carnivorous and filthy habits if I married you?'.' 'Yes, " said the vulture, "but if you don't like my way you can leave." And with one angry stroke cf the beak and another fierce clutch of the claw the vulture left the dove eye less and wingless and lifeless, and a flock of robins flying past cried to each other and, said: "See there I That comes from a dove marrying a vulture to re form himi" Many a woman who has had the hand of a young inebriate offered, but de clined it, or who was asked to chain her life to a man selfish or of bad tem per and refused the shackles, will bless Ood throughout all eternity that she es caped that earthly pandemonium. Una ban da Not Kecessary. Besides all this, in our country about 1.000.000 men were sacrificed in our civil war! and that decreed 1.000,000 women to celibacy. Besides that, since the war several armies of men as large as the Federal and Confederate armies put together have fallen under malt liauors and distilled spirits, so full of poisoned ingredients that the work was done more rapidly and the victims fell while yet young. And if 50,000 men are destroyed every year by strong drink before marriage that makes in the S3 years since the war 1,650, cOO men slain and decreea 1,650,000 women to celib acy. Take, then, the fact that so-many wemen are unhappy in their marriage and ths fact that the slaughter of 2,650,000 men by war and mm com bined decides that at least that number cf women shall be unaffiancd for life, my text comes in with a cheer and a po tencyand appropriateness that you may never have seen in it before when it says, "Every wise woman buildeth her house" that is, let woman be her own architect, lay out her own plans, be her own supervisor, achieve her own des tiny. In addressing those women who have to fight the battle alone I congratulate you on your happy escape. Rejoice for ever that you will not have to navigate the faults of the ether sex when you have faults enough of your own. Think cf the bereavements rou avoid, of the risks cf updssirailated temper which you will Jbot have to run, of the cares you wiLKsever have to carry ana ox tne oppcTtthiry of outside usefulness from whigfi marital life would have partially defcirred Ton. and that you are free to a l ' 1 o and came as cue wno cas me respoa- ribilittes cf a household can seldcra be. .

Girl 'Should -E Taught Self Bellanco. Ab no boy ought to.be brought up i -fcvr v -w without learning 'some; easiness at whichlhe could earn a livelihood, so no girl obght to be broug'it up without learning the science' of eelf support The cfidculty is that y. ny a family goes filling on tho nightiuwScf success, and the husband and father depends on his own health and acumen for the wel fare cf his household, but one day he gets his feet wet, and in three days pneunionia has closed his life, and the daughters are turned out on ' a cold world !to cam bread, and there is noth insr phtctical that they can do. The friends come in and held consultation. "Give! music lessons, " says an outsider. Yes, tiat is a useful calling, and if you have great genius for it go on in that direction. But1 there are enough musio teachers now starving to death in all our towns and cities to occupy all the piano i stools and sofas and chairs and front idcorsteps of the city. Besides that, the daughter has been playing on ly for amusement and' is only at the foot ct the ladder, to the top of which a groat multitude of masters on piano and harp ijnd flute and organ have climbed. "Put the bereft daughters as sales women in stores, "says another adviser. But there they must compete with sales men of long experience or witn men who have served an apprenticeship in corumtTce and who began a3 shopboys at 10;years of age. Some kind hearted dry gqods man, having known the fa ther, now gone, says, " We are not in need pf any more help just now, but 6end your daughters to my store, and I will fio asvwell by them as" possible," Very soon the question comes up, Why do not the female employees of that es tablishment .cet as much wages as. the male employees? For the simple reason, in many cases, the females were sud denly 5flung by misfortune behind that counter, while the males have from the day they left the public school been learning the business. How is this evil to be cured? Start clear back in the homestead and teach your daughters that life is an earnest thing, and that there is a possibility ll not a ttrong probability that they will have to fight the battle of life alone. Let ev.ery father and mother say to their daughters. "Now. what would you do f cr a livelihood if what I now own were swept away by financial disaster or old ago orj death should end my career?" Adrice to Unmarried Women. i "Wk11 I could paint on pottery and do sucjh decorative work." Yes, that is beautiful, and if you have genius for it eo on in that direction. But there are I enougn busy at that now to make a line of hardware as long as yon Pennsyl vania avenue. ' Well. I could make recitations in public! and earn my living as a drama tit. I-could render 'King Lear' or Jdao- beth' till your hair would rise on end or give ybu 'Sheridan's Ride or Dickens Pickwick.' " Yes, that is a beautiful art, but ever and anon, as now, there is an epidemic of dramatization that maker hundreds of households nervous with the cries and shrieks and irroans of young' tragediennes dying in the fifth act, and the trouble is that while your friendp would like to hear you and real ly think that you could surpass Ristori and Charlotto Cushman and Fanny Kemble cf the past, to say nothing of the present, you could not in the way of living In ten years earn iu cents. ily iadvice to all girla and all unmar ried women, whether in affluent homes or in homes where mcst stringent econ emies i are grinding, is to learn to ao seme kind of work that the world must have while the world stands. I am glad to see a marvelous change for the better and that women have found out that there are hundreds of practical things that a woman can do for a living if she becins soon enoceh and that men have been compelled to admit it. You and I can remember when the majority cf co cupations were , thought inappropriate f cr women, but our civil war came, and tlie hosts of men went forth from north i and south, and to conduct the business cf our cities during the patrl otic atstneo women were demanded by the tens of thousands to take the vacant places, and multitudes cf women who had been hitherto supported by fathers and brothers and sons were compelled from that time to take care cf them selves. From that time a mighty change took place favorable to female employ ment. Occupation For Women. Among the occupations appropriate for wbman I place the following, into many of which she has already entered, and all tho others she will enter: Ste nography, and you may find her at near ly all the reportorial stands in our edu cational, political and religious meet ings, j Savings banks, the -work clean and honorable, and who so great a right to toil there, for a woman founded the first savings bank Airs. Priscilla Wake field? j Copyists, and there is tiardly a professional man that does not need the service of her penmanship, and as amanuensis many of the greatest bocks of cur day have been dictated for her writing. There they are as florists and confectioners and musio teachers and bookkeepers, for which they are special ly qualified by ! patience and accuracy, and wood engraving, in which the Coop er institute has turned. out so many qualified, and telegraphy, for -which she Is i specially prepared, as tnousanas oi tne reiegrapn cmces wm it&my.

As physicians, having graduated after a regular course cf study frcni the female colleges of our large cities, where they get as scientific and thorough preparation as any doctors ever had and. go forth to a work which no one but women could so appropriate ly and delicately ao. On the lecturing platform, for you know the brilliant success of Airs. Livermore and Airs. Eallowell and Aliss Willard and Airs. Lathrop. As physiological lecturers to their own sex, for which service there is a demand appalling and terrific As preachers of the gospel, and all the pro tests cf ecclesiastical courts cannot hin der them, for they have a pathos and a power in their religious utterances that men can never reach. "Witness all those who have heard their mother pray. 1 Uaefnl Employment. .' Oh, young women of America, as many oi you will nave i to ngnt. your own battles alone, do not wait until you are flung of disaster and your father is dead and all the resources of your family have been scattered, but now, while in a good house and environed by all prosperities, learn how to do some kind of work that the world must have as long as the world stands. Turn your attention . from the embroidery of fine slippers, of which there is a surplus, and make a useful shoe. Expend the time in which ybu adorn a cigar case in learning how toj make a good, honest loaf of bread. Turn your attention from the making of flimsy nothings to the manufacturing of important somethings. Aluch of . the time spent in young la dies' seminaries f in studying what are called the "higher branches" might bet ter be expended in teaching them some tnmg by wnlcn' tney could support themselves. If you are i going to be teachers or if you' have so much assured wealth that you can always dwell W those high regions, trigonometry o: course, metaphysics of course, Latin and Greek and German and French and Italian of course, and a hundred other tilings of course, but if you are not ex pecting to teach and your wealth is not established beyond misfortune after you have learned the ordinary branches take hold of that kind of study that will pay in dollars and cents In case you are thrown on your own resources. Learn to do something i better than anybody else. ' ' l "Ho, no," says some young woman. "I will not undertake anything so un romantio and commonplace as that. An excellent author writes that after he had, in a book, argued for efficiency in womanly work in order to success and positive apprenticeship by way of prep aration a prominent chemist advertised that he would teach a class of women to become drusreists and apothecaries if they would go through an apprentice ship as men do, and a printer advertised that he would take a class of women to learn the printer's trade if they would go through an apprenticeship as men do, and how many, according to the ac count of the author, do you suppose applied to become skilled in the drug eist business and printing business Not one! I A Common Delusion. father and mother say if they saw: I was doing suon unfashionable work?" Throw the whole responsibility upon us, the pastors, who are constantly hearing of young women in all .these cities who, unqualified by their previous-luxurious surroundings for the awful "struggle of life into which they have been suddenly hurled, seemed ; to have nothing left them but a choice between starvation and damnation, i There they go j along the street at 7 o'clock in. the wintry mornings through the slush and . storm to the place where they shall earn only half enough for subsistence, the daugh ters of once prosperous merchants, law vers, clergymen,! artists, Dangers ana . ... ji capitalists, who brought up their chil dren under the infernal delusion that it was not high toned for women to learn i t " a prontaDie caning, x oung women, take this affair in your own hand, and let there be an insurrection In all pros perous families on the part of the daugh ters of this day, demanding knowledge in occupations and styles of business by which they may be their own defense and their own support if all fatherly and husbandly and brotherly hands for ever fail them. I have seen two sad sights, the one a woman in all the glory of her young life, stricken by disease and in a week lifeless in a home of which she had been the pride. As her hands were folded over the 'still heart and her eyes closed for the last slumber and she was taken out amid the lamen tations of kindred and friends I thought that was a sadness, immeasurable. But Z have seen something acsapare4 wita which that scene was bright and song ful. It was a young woman who had been aU- her days amid : wealthy sur roundings by the visit - of death and bankruptcy to the household turned out on a cold world w ithout one 'lesson about how to get food or shelter and into the awful whirlpool of city life, where strong ships have gonej down, and for 20 years not one word has been heard from 'her. Vessels went lout on the Atlantic ocean looking for a ship wrecked craft that was left alone and forsaken on the sea a few weeks before, with the idea of bringing it into port. Eut who shall ever bring again kito tha harbor of peace and hope and heaven that lost womanly immortal, driven in what tempest, aflame in what conflagra tion, sinking into, what abyss? O God, help! O Christ, rescue I Aly sisters, give not your time to learning fancy work which the world may dispense with im hard times, hut connect your skill with the indispensablea cf life. I The world will always wan some- KEEP Y0UR Surely if the word -REGULATOR is not on a package it Nothing else is the h ame It cannot be and never has been put up by any one except 4 co. - And it can be easily told by their Trade M,k- I THE RED 2. ( FOR SALEf BY W. thing to wear and something to eat. and shelter, and fuel for the body, and knowledge for the mind, an religion for the souL And all these things will eontinue to be the necessarips, and if you fasten your energies upju occupa tions and professions thus related the world will bo unable to do without you Remember that in proportion s you are. skillful in anything your rivalries be come loss. For unskilled toif there are women by the millions. Bulyoumay riso to where there are . only thousands, and still higher till there are only a hundred, and still higher til there are only ten, and still higher, infsome par ticular department,, till there is only a unit, and that yourself. For alwhile you may keep wages and a placjje through the kindly sympathy of an employer, but you will eventually gel no more compensation than you can make your self worth. Let me say to all women who have already entered upon , the batles of lifo that the time is coming whjfch women shall not only get as much f alary and Wages as men-get, but for certain styles of employment women will bye higher salary and more wages, for lhe reason that for some styles of workfthey have more adaptation. But this justice will come to woman not through lany senti- meni waiianny. nos iwhhmk, u therefore ought to have mor4 consider ation shown her, but because through her finer natural . taste, and ihore grace of manner, and quicker perception, and more delicate touch, and mor educated adroitness, she will in certain callings be to her employer worth IX) per cent more or 20 per cent more than tho oth er sexi. She will not get it byksking for it, but by earning it, and li shall be hers by lawful conquest. Now, men of America, be fair and give the women a chance, j Are you afraid that they will do some of your work, and hence harm your prosperities? Remember that there are fscores of thousands of men doing 4womn's work. Do not be afraid. God knos the end from the beginning, and he knows how many people this world can feed and shelter", and when it gets too full he will end the world and if need b start an other.
