TALMAGE TELLS OF ITS SPLEN " DOR AND ITS WOE. - The rnlplt Orator Draws Some Cae tml mA Ilclpfal Leaaons From Ills Own ObacrTMtlona The Voice of " the Streets. : Coprrlht. 1539. by American rre Asso ciation.) Washixotox, March 19. In this dis course Dr. Talmage,;Wbo has lived the most of his life in i cities, draws prac tical lessons from his own observation: text. Proverbs' i, 20, "Wisdom crieth without; she nttereth her voice in the streets. ' - We are all ready to listen to the voices of nature the voices of the mountain, the voices of the sea. the voices of the storm, the voices of the star. As in some of the cathedrals in Europe there is an organ at cither end of the building, and the one instrument responds musically to the other, m inthe great cathedral of nature day responds to day and night to night and flower to flower and star to star in the great har monies of the universe. The springtime is an evangelist in blossoms preaching of God's love, and the winter is a prophet white bearded denouncing woe against our sins. We are all ready to listen to the voices of nature, but how few of us learn anything from the voices of the noisy and dnsty street t " You go to your mechanism and to your work and to your merchandise, and you come back again, and often with how different a heart you pass through the etreeta Are there no things for us to learn from these pavements over which we pass! Are there no tufts of truth growing up between these cobblestones, beaten with the feet of toil and pain and pleasure, the slow tread of old age and the quick step of childhood? Aye. there are great harvests to be reaped, and now 1 thrust in the sickle because the harvest is ripe, "Wisdom crieth without: she uttereth her voice in the streets" In the first place, the street impresses me with the fact that this life is a scene of toil and struggle. By 10 o'clock ev ery day the city is jarring with wheels, and ahuCling with feet, and humming with voices, and covered with the breath of smokestacks, and arush with traffick ers. Once in awhile you find a man go ing along with folded arms and with I leisurely step, as though be bad notmng itodo: but for the most .rart. as you find men going down thesa streets on the way to business, there is anxiety in their faces, as though they had some errand which must be executed at the first possible moment ou are jostled by those who have bargains to make and notes to selL Up this ladder with a hod of bricks, out pf this bank with a roll of bills, on this dray with a load, of goods, digging a cellar, or shingling a roof, or shoeing a horse, or building a wall, or mending a watch, or bind-j ing a book. Industry, with her thou sand arms and thousand eyes and thou sand feet goes on singing her song of work, work, work, while the mills drum it and the steam whistles fife it All this not because men love toil Some cne remarked, "Every man Is as lazy as he can afford to be. " But it is because necessity with stern brow and with uplifted whip stands over you ready whenever you relax your toil to make your shoulders sting with the lash. The World's Toll and Anxiety. Can it be that passing "up and down these streets on your way to work and: business that you do not learn anything of the world's toil and anxiety and itruggle? Oh, how many drooping hearts, how many eyes on the watch, how many miles traveled, how many burdens carried, how many losses suf fered, how many battles fought, how many victories gained, how many de feats suffered, how many exasperations endured: what losses, what hunger, what wretchedness, what pallor, what disease, what agony, what despair I Sometimes I have stopped at the corner of the street as the multitudes went hither and yon, and it has seemed to be a great "pantomime, and as I looked upon it my heart broke. This great tide of human life that goes down the street is a rapid, tossed and turned aside, and dashed ahead, and driven back beau tiful in its confusion, and confused in Its beauty.- In the carpeted aisles of the forest, in the woods from which the eternal shadow is never lifted, on the shore of the sea over whose iron coast tosses the tangled foam eprinkling the cracked cliffs with a baptism of whirl wind and tempest, is the best place to study God. but in the ruling, swarm ing, raving street is the best place to study man. Going down to your place of business and coming home again, I charge you to look about tanae signs ot pover ty, of wretchedness, of hunger, of sin. of bereavement and as you go through the streets, and come back through the streets, gather up in the arms of your prayer all the sorrow, all the losses, all the sufferings, all the bereavements cf those whom you pass, and present them in prayer before an all sympathetic God. In the creat dav of- eternity there will Lbe thousands of persons with, whom you in this world never exchanged one wora, will rise up and call you blessed, and there will be a thousand fingers pointed ar you in heaven, saying "That is the man. that -is the woman, who helped me when I was hungry and sick and wandering and lost and heartbroken. That is the man. that is the woman and the blessing will come down upon you-as Christ shall sayt "I was hungry, and ye fed me:' I was naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick and in prison.' and ye visited me; inasmuch as" ye did it to these poor waifs of the streets, ye did it to me.' . - Again, the street 'impresses me with the fact that all classes and conditions of society must commingle. We some times culture a wicked exclusivenesa Intellect despises ignorance.- Refine- ment' wiu ua - .m htivA- nnthinsr to ao witn ..i ni,wo hnta the aanDumea . - - band, and the high forehead despises the flat head, and the trim hedgerow will have nothing to do with the wild corsewood. and .Athens hates Nazareth. This ongbt not so to be. The astronomer must come down from his starry revelry and help us in our navigation. The sur geon must come a way from his study of the human organism and set our broken bones.: The chemist must come away from his laboratory.. where he has been studying analysis and synthesis, and help us to understand the nature of the soils. I bless God that all classes cf peo ple are compelled to meet on the street The. glittering coach wheels 'clashes against the scavenger's cart Fine robes run against the peddler's pack. Robust health meets wan sickness. -Honesty confronts fraud. "Every class of "people meets every other class. - Impudence and modesty, pride and humility, purity and beastliness, frankness and hypoc risy, meeting on the same block, in the same street in the same city. Oh, that is what Solomon meant wv.en he said, "The rich and the poor meet together: the Lord is the Maker of them alL" I like this democratic principle of the gospel of Jesus Christ which recognizes the fact that we stand before God on cne and the same platform. Do not take on any airs. Whatever position you have gained in society you are nothing but a man, born of the same parent re generated by the same spirit cleansed in the same blood, to lie down in the same dust to get up in the same resur rection. It is high time that we all ac knowledged not only the Fatherhood of God. but the brotherhood of man. . To Keep Ills Heart Rlffbt. Again, the street impresses me with the fact that it is a very hard thing for a man to keep his heart right and to get to heaven. Infinite temptations spring upon us from these places of public concourse. Amid so much afflu ence, how much temptation to covetous ness and to be discontented with our humble lot I Amid so many opportuni ties, for overreaching what temptation to extortion I Amid so much display, what temptation . to vanity I Amid so many salcons of strong drink,' what al lurement to dissipation! In the mael stroms and hell gates of the street how many make quick and eternal ship wreck 1 If a man-of-war comes back from a battle and is towed into the navy yard, we go down to look at the splintered spars and count the bullet holes and look with patriotic admira tion on the flag that floated in victory from the masthead. But that man ia more of a curiosity jwho has gone. through 30 years of the sharpshooting of business life and yet sails on, victor over the temptations of the street. Oh, hot? many hav gan& down, under the pressure, leaving not so much as the patch of canvas to tell vjjtere they per ished 1 They never had any peace. Their dishonesties kept tolling in their ears. If I had an ax and could split open the beams of that fine hcuse, perhaps I would find in the very heart of it a skeleton. In his very best wine there is a smack of poor man's sweat Oh, is it strange that when a man has devoured widows' houses he is disturbed with in digestion? All the forces of nature are against him. The floods are ready to drown him and the earthquake to swallow him and the fires to consume him and the lightnings to smite him. But the children of God are on every street, and in the day when the crowns of heaven are distributed some of the brightest of them will be given to those men who were faithful to God and faith ful to the souls of others amid the marts of business, proving themselves the he roes of the street. Mighty were their temptations, mighty was their deliver ance and mighty shall be their triumph. Again, the street impresses me with the fact that life is full of pretension and sham. What subterfuge, what double"dealing, what two f acedness I Do all people who wish you good morning really hope you a happy day? Do all the people who shake- hands love each other ? Are all those anxious about your health who inquire concerning it ? Do all want to see you who ask you to call? Does all the world know half as much as it pretends to know? Is there not many a wretched etock-of goods with a brilliant show window ? Passing up and down the streets to your business and your work, are you not impressed with the fact that society is hollow and that there are subterfuges and pretensions? Oh, how many there are who swagger and strut and how few people who are natural and walk! While fops simper and fools chuckle and simpletons gig gle, how few people are natural and. laugh I The courtesan and the libertine go down the street in beautiful apparel, while within the heart there are vol canoes of passion consuming their life away. I say these things not to create in you incredulity or misanthropy, nor do I forget there are thousands of peo ple a great deal betttr than they seem, but I do not think any man is prepared for the conflict of this life until he knows this particular periL Ehud comes pretending to pay his tax to king Eglon, and. while he stands in front of the king. stab3 him through with a dagger until the haft went in after the blade Judas Iscariot kissed Christ ' Field For Christian Cuarlty. Again, the street impresses me with the fact that it is a great field for Chris tian charity. There are hunger and suffering, and want and wretchedness in the country, but these evils chiefly congregate ia our great cities. On ev ery street crime prowls, and drunken ness staggers, and shame winks, and pauperism thrusts out its hand asking for alms.. Here want is most squalid and hunger is most lean.- A Christian man. going along a street in New York, saw a poor, lad. and . he stooped and said. "My boy. do - you know . how to read and write? The boy made no an swer. The man asked the question twice and thrice. "Can you read and write?" And then the boy answered, with a tear plashing on the back of his hand. He euid in iLr mce:. ;tNo..sir; I can't read nor write, neither.; God, sir, don't want me to read and write. Didn't he take away my father so long ago I never remember to have seen him ? And haven't I had to go along the streets to get something to fetch home to eat for the folks?, And didn't I. as soon as I could carry a basket have to go out and pick up cinders and never have no schooling, sir? God don't want j me to read, sir. I can't read cor write, nei ther." Oh, ttiese poor wanderers 1 They have no chance.- Born in degradation, as they get up from their hands and knees to walk, they take their first step on the road to despair. Let us go forth in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ to rescue them. Let us ministers not be afraid of soiling our black clothes while we go down on that mission. While we sre tying an elaborate- knot in our cra vat or while we are in the study round ing off some period t rhetorically we might be saving a soul from death and hiding a multitude of sins. O Christian laymen, go out on this work I If you are not willing to go forth yourself, then give of your means, and if you are too lazy to go, and if you are too stingy to help, then get out of the way and hide yourself in the dens and caves of the earth, lest, when Christ's chariot comes along the horses' hoofs trample you into the mire. Beware lest the thousands of the destitute of your city in the last great day rise up and curse your stupidity and your neglect Down to work I Lift them up I One cold winter's day, as a Christian man was going along the Battery in New York, he saw a little girl seated at the gate, shivering in the cold. He said to her: "My child, what do you sit there for, this cold day?" "Oh," she replied, "I am waiting I am waiting for somebody to come and take care of me." "Why," said the man, "what makes you think anybody will come and take care of you ?" "Oh, " she said, "my mother died last week, and I was crying very much, and she said: 'Don't cry, dear; though I am gone and your father is gone, the Lord will send some body to take care of you. ' My mother never told a lie ; she said some one would come and take care of me, and I am waiting for them to come." Oh, yes, they are waiting for you. Men who have money, men who have influence, men of churches, men of great hearts, gather them in, gather them in. It is not the will of your Heavenly Father that one of these little ones should per ish. - .i People Looking Forvrard. . Lastly, the street impresses me with the fact that all the people are looking forward. I see expectancy written on al most every face I meet Where ypu find a thousand people walking straight on, you only find one man stopping and looking back. The fact is, God nUde us all to look ahead, because we are im mortal. In this tramp of the multitude on the streets, I hear the tramp of a great host, marching and marching for eternity. Beyond the office, the. store, the shop, the street, there is a world, populous and tremendous. Through God's grace, may you reach that blessed place. A great throng fills those boule vards, and the streets are arush with the chariots of conquerors. The inhabit ants go up and down, but they never weep, and they never toil. A rivr flows through that city, with rounded and luxurious banks, and the trees of life, laden with everlasting fruitage, bend their branches into the crystal, j No plumed hearse rattles over that pavement, for they are never sick. With immortal health glowing in, every vein, they know not how to die.! Those towers of strength, those palaces of beauty, gleam in the light of a sun that never sets. Oh, heaven, beautiful heav en I Heaven, where our friends arel They take no census in that city, for it is inhabited by "a multitude which no man can number. " Rank above rank. Host above host Gallery above gallery, sweeping all around the heavens.) Thou sands of thousands. Millions of milliona Blessed are they who enter in through the gate into that city. Oh, start for it today I Through the blood of the great sacrifice of the Son of God take up your march to heaven. "The spirit and the bride say, Come, and, whosoever will, let him come and take the water of life freely." Join this great throng; march ing heavenward. All the doors of invi tation are open. "And I saw twelve gates, and the twelve gates were twelve pearls." I The Problem Solved, j She has solved the problem, God bless her I I Her name is Mrs. Mary Smith Rob erts, -and she is a professor in the Stan ford university of California. She speaks with the language of prophecy and of mastery, and the gospel which She preaches will revolutionize the civilized world and settle the vexatious "servant girl problem" forever. "Give parties," says Mrs. Smith Roberta. "Otve irlsaly of parties, and you will have plenty of good servants. I have made it a rule to allow my cook to give a large parly each summer while I am away" Mrs. Smith Roberts neg lected to say that her cook would give it any way, whether she allowed it or no "and when I am at home and the horse is not too tired I ask my servants out for a drive. I never have any trou ble with them." ' That is the Smith Roberts' recipe. It is as easy as lying, if you only know how. New York World. i A Fable nearardlnar Pride. , . Here the orator paused to give his words greater effect j Where is your boasted prosperity? he demanded in a hoarse whisper. "Who is richer tonight because we are under the gold standard? How many men are there Jn this audience," ho thundered, "who can show me a gold coin? Is there one?" . j "Yes,. sir," replied a man near the door, rising up. "Here's a $20 gold-piece.""-- : ' '- About two hours later, while on his way home, the man with the $20 gold coin was robbed of it - j . Pride sometimes goes before a. hold up. Chicago Tribune. I THE BEST LAID PLANS." An Amerlraa Torpedo Boat Kept Ia England JDvrtaar the Var. Lieutenant Henry La Motte. under the racy title "How We Helped Uncle Sam : Prepare For War. ; tells ; in St Nicholas . bow he and the American naval attache. Lieutenant Ni black, la bored last March and April ' to' get to America in time to use the German tor-, pedo boat which had been christened the Somers: After all preparations had been made I hastened to Hamburg, hoping to catch the Somers somewhere in the North sea canal, but on my ar rival at Hamburg I found that she bad passed through the canal early that morning and. was now on the North sea on her way to England. It was not un til more than a week later, when I sailed into the port of Weymouth. Eng land, on board the United States steam er Topeka, that I succeeded in getting her signal flags aboard her. Captain Knapp told me that from the month of the Elbe to Weymouth he ,. had had a very rough trip, but he had made it in three days, averaging 12 knots an hour, which was as much as any torpedo boat of her size could have made under aim ilar circumstances. j When he arrived in Weymouth, he caused an inspection to be made, which showed that the Somers had not leaked a drop, in spite of her rough handling, and, considering the weather she was out in, he believed her to be a very comfortable boat At Weymouth an English crew was put aboard the Somers, and Captain, Poust and the Germans were paid off and sent home. The Englishmen were evidently afraid of her, for every time they put to sea in her they declared that she was leak ing. Twice she was put back into port on account of these reports, and each time little or nothing was found to be the matter. The third attempt to get her to searin-company with the Topeka succeeded in getting her as far as Fal mouth, where we put in because the Somers had made signal that she was sinking. This report was found to be as groundless as the two previous ones There was, however, a very slight leak about the submerged torpedo tube, and her crew, now thoroughly demoralized, absolutely refused to go to sea unless she was drydocked and inspected by an agent of Lloyd'a It being utterly impossible to engage a new crew for her at Falmouth, Cap tain Knapp was obliged to yield to their demands and arranged to have her dry docked, i As she was being put into the docks whether by accident or design cannot be proved her sailing master ran her, head on, into a stone pier, which caused such serious damage as without doubt to require her to remain in drydock for repairs at least ten day a This was on April 19, and as we were sure that war would be declared in a few days at the furthest we were obliged to sail away in the Topeka without her. The day after war was declared the English captain of the port called upon the officer in coin man d of the Somers and . told him that Great Britain, under her proclamation of neutrality, must request him to go to sea in 24 hours, and if he were unable to do so the English government would be obliged to detain the Somers in port during the continuance of the war. And so, after all our trouble and ex pense, one of our torpedo boats was left in Falmouth harbor, of no more use to na in our war with Spain than if she had remained No. 420 at the Schichau works in Elbing. Dad Spelling In Harvard. The midyear examination in ine Arts Three, which was held at Harvard on Feb.-4, uncovered these curiosities of spelling among other things almost as curious: Appolo, alebaster, terricotta, citidal, Inate, pilar, jems (gems), statute (statue), preeceeding, collum, entirelly. phisique, renound, backwood (back ward), sculpters, athelete. - Such errors were found distributed throughout the class and were not con fined to a few notebooks. -Several pf those who misspelled athlete: were espe cially prominent in athleticjcirclea I This class in fine arts is among the largest in the university, having fully 300 members. It contains no freshmen, but is made up mostly of juniors and seniors. It is probably the most popular of the general culture courses and was under Professor Charles Eliot Norton nnHI th mresent vear. The course has been re :-rded as almost a liberal edu cation iu itself. New York Sun- i rf-- Wilkinson's Sword Miss daught kinson.

It was this way: Citizen Train, with the brains of 20 men in his brad, all pulling different ways." went to Omaha in tho spring of 1801. At that time he was the xnot talked of man in America. He had not a thing bnt mon ey. He bought 5,000 city lota, and alto gether spent several hundred thousand dollars, ne boarded at the Ilernduu House, the best hotel a sight The quixotic Train was regular in only ens thing his habits.

Tho Mte selected was Ninth aud Harney streets, near the Missouri river. . Citizen Train went to New Yotk and engaged Colonel Cozzens, a noted cuter or of that city, as manager for his Imtr 1.
