REV. DR. TALMAGE. THE EItOOKLYN DIVINE’S SUNDAY SERMON. Subject i “Holdiers In the Time of Peace. (Preached by Chaplain T. De Witt TnlmaKe in the JJtlißegl ment. N. ti. M. N. Y. Text: “The tower of David, builded for an armory, wherein there hang a thousand bucklers, alt shields of mighty men. I'—Solo mon's Song, iv., 4. With frowning, stupendous masonry over topping all the city of Jerusalem stood this ancient armory called the Tower of David. Advance and give the countersign to the armed guard atid pass right in .under the archway. Instead of the modern arrange ment of the armory in which the members of a regiment stow away their equipment: this old armory of the text has the weapons hung up along the wad in sight, of all the people. Shields, helmets, javelins, bows that needed athletic arms to bend them and ar rows whoso sting were death. Some of them nro new and polished, others hare seen terrific service. Look at that split helmet! It was the work of a battle nxe in Engedi. Look at this shield! It is dented in the middle by a stout stroke of the spear and crevassed from side to sido by a sharp sword. The edge of that shield is doubled up by a stone slung by the regiment of stingers. This bow is twisted by the grip of a mailed band. This buckler is scarred and clipped an i blood-spattered, showing that tho war rior who held it was in tho thickest of the onset. Count them and you find that there ore just a thousand shields. They belong to a complete regiment in time of peace. "The Tower of David, builded for an armory, wherein there hung a thousand bucklers, all shields of mighty men.” Officers and members of the Thirteenth Regiment: You come to night from one kind of armory tielonging to the {State into another kind of armory lielonging to the Lord, and if we have sanctified imagination enough we can set* all these tour walls from lloor to ceil ing covered with swords, and helmets and shields of mighty men who have fought their last battle for God and their country, and have for brave service been honorably dis charged from earthly combat. Their weary march is ended and their arms are stacked and thev are resting in the land of eternal peae . Huzza for them! Hut some of these weapons that hang around us, seen by the eye of taith, are those which you are to carry and wield, and tho important question is what Use will you make of them? For tho first time we confront each other in religious service ns chaplain and regiment. The figure of a shepherd’s crook in my shoulder strap means, I think, pastoral service. Glad am I that by governmental regulation the absurdity of a chaplain's sword lias been abolished. Why should a minister of the gospel of peace have any sharp edges nl>out him? Our business is not to cut/, but to heal. And surely I, who would go a mile barefoot to help my worst enemy, would not in any exigency n»*ed a sword. Overpowering all other questions to-night is the one: W hat use can we be to each other in our newly-formed relation? It is not a mere play-spell or a meaning less coming together. The graceful crossing of golden cords over your breast does not hide from ine the fact that you have beneath them a heart full of affections, hopes, ambitions and sorrows. The epaulet on your shoulder does not not make mo forget that there are heavy burdens on that shoulder to night, I look beyond the soldier and I see the man! And 1 will keep the secret no longer in my heart, but out with with it here and now, that when 1 pray for this church I pray for this regiment and that 1 am planning bow 1 can be most encouragement and rein forcement to you in the struggles of this life, and how I can be sure of your eternal com panionship inn better world, when we break camp and go home to bo with God. And those who were so good ami lovely that wo could no longer keep them here, they will bo at the shining gate to see us come in. They used to come skipping down at eventide to welcome us, and when our day of life is done and it is for us live o’clock, six o’clock, seven o’clock in the eventide, they will come out to repeat the old-time salutations. But until then we arc to live in a world of conflict and the conflict is in its six thousandth year. There is something absorbing in the mili tary science of the Scriptures. In olden times all the men between twenty and fifty years of age were enrolled in the army and then a levy was made for a special service. There were only three or four classes exempt : Those who had built a house and had not occupied it, those who had planted a garden and had not rea{>ed the fruit of it, those who were engaged to tie mar ried ami yet had not led the bride to the altar, those who were yet in the first year of wed ded life, those who were so nervous that they could not look upon an enemy but they fled, and could not look upon blood but they fainted. The army was in three divisions: the centre, and right and left wings. The weapons of defence were: Helmet, shield, breastplate, buckler. The weapons of offence were: Hword, spear, iavelin, arrow, cata pult—which was merely a Im»w swung by machinery .shooting arrows at vast distances, great arrows, one urrow as large ns several men could lift—and Iml list a—which was a sling swung by machinery, burling great rocks and large pieces of lead to vast distances. 'The shields were made’of woven willow work with three thicknesses of hide, and a loop inside through which the arm of the warrior might be thrust; and when these soldiers were marching to attack an enemy ou the level all these shields touched each other, making a wall, moving, but impene trable; and then when they attacked a for tress ami tried to approach a battlement, this shield was lifted over the head so as to resist the falling missiles. Tho breast-plate was made of two pieces of leather, brass cov en-d, one piece falling over the breast, the other falling over the back, at the side of the warrior the two pieces fastened with buttons or clasfw. The bows w-ere so stout and stiff and strong that war riors often challenged each other to liend one. The strings of the bow were made from the sinews of oxen. A ease like an inverted pyra mid was fastened to the liaek, that case con taming the arrows, so that when the warrior wanted an arrow’ he would put his arm over hi*shoulder and pull forth the arrow for the light. The ankle of the foot hail an iron boot. When a wall was to be assaulted a batter ing rain was brought up. A battering ram was a great boom swung on chains in equi librium. The battering-ram would tie brought close up to the* wall and then a groat number of men would take hold of this Imam, push it hack ns far as they could and then kit go, and Ihe liearu became a great swing ing pendulum of destruction. Twenty or forty men would stand in a movable tower <»n the back of an elephant, the elephant made drunk with wine, and then headed to ward the enemy, and what with the heavy feet mid the swinging proboscis, and (he poisoned arrows shot from tie* movable tower tho destruction was appalling. War chariots were in vogue and they were on two wheels so they could easily turn. A sword wan fastened to the |sile l**t,wcen the horses so when they went ahead the sword thrust, and when they turned around it would mow down The armies carried flags beautifully embroidered. Trilie of Judah carried a fla* embroidered with a lion, tribe of Knutiwfi, one embroidered with n rnan; tribe of Dan. embroidered with cherubim, The noise of tin* host as they moved on was overwhelming and what with the clatter of shiolrin and the rumbling of wheels and the shout of the rt|l tains and the vociferation of the entire host, the prophet says it was like the roaring of th« sea. Because the arts of w nr have l»oen advancing all these years we are not to con* elude that those armies of olden times were an uncontrollable mob, but the science of death has advanced until the inventions lot destroying life are more skillful than the iwr vention* for saving it Thank Go»l that you are so'dier* in time «rs all probability there will never be auv leaauu for your military existence. There cannot be another war between the North and the South. Within a few days the leading ex general of the Confederate army has oeen unanimously elected a member of the Grand Army of the Republic. The old decayed boot of contention, American slavery, has been cast out, although here add there a depraved politician takes it up to see if he -asn gn*w something off of it. Northern aTI nave married Southern wives, and Southern men have married Northern wives, and we are forever one, for the hardest thing on earth te split is a cradle. Neither can thc"» he • wa» between the East and West. By the vestibule train the East is West and the West is East in twenty-four hours. Where would the two sections plant their batteries if they came in contest. It is all Eastand all West. We nw floating further and further off from all possibility of sectional strife. Neither will the prophecy of some come true that foreign people coming here will want to overthrow our institutions.and hence a call for the national guard. The people who come here from under foreign despotisms have had enough of despotism, and honor the institutions of free America. Even the children and grandchildren of Anarchists educated in our common schools and breath ing the air of this good land will be loyal to the American Republic and take their place among law abiding citizens. Neither is conflict with othor nations probable. Would England attack us? No! France on one side and Ireland on the other would prohibit. Would Germany attack us? No! Russia would be on its flanks in a few days. Would Russia attack us? No! Three or four belligerent nations would for bid it No foreign nation could afford to assail this country, for there would be toe much in front and too much in the rear. But suppose foreign nations, jealous of oul prosperity, should band together because ol real or imaginary affront? That I admit ii barely possibly. During our civil war then were two or three nations that could bardl] keep their hands off of us. If foreign na tions should combine against us wo want mei like those of 1812. and like those who fought on both sides in 1883. We want them all uj and down th? coast. Pulaski and Fort Sum ter, in the same chorus of thunder as Fort La fayette and Fort Hamilton, men who wil not only know how to fight but how to die When such a time comes, if it overdoes come the generations on the stage of action wil say: “My countrv will care lor my family » they did in the Soldiers' Asylums for orphan in the Civil War. and my country will honot my dust as it honors those who preceded m» in | atriotic sacrifice and once a year, at ant rate on Decoration day. I shall be resurrects into the remembrance of those for whom I died. Here I go. for God and my country!” ■*lf foreign foe should ever come, all sectional animosities would be obliterated, and side by side would go into conflict the volunteers of New York and Alabama, and Massachusetts and Ixmisiana, and Michigan and Georgia, North, South. East and West, each carrying its part in the great harmony, the bass, the alto, the tenor, the soprano, in the Grand March of the Union. But what is the use of a regiment in time of peace. Among other things it teaches the inqjortance of drill, and more of that we want in all departments. Learning that there is no success without it in regimental ranks, men will learn that there is no success with out it in commercial ranks, in mechanical ranks, in professional ranks, in religious ranks. In order to accomplish anything for God, or the betterment of the human race, it must be drill, drill, drill. Borne, because they cannot be successful as reformatory or Christian workers at once, are discouraged. It seems so easy to bar gain, so easy to edit, so easy to preach, so easy to sculpture a statue and draught a house and execute a picture and medicate a wound that they will try it; but, if they find it is only by continual toil and practice that they can get to be expert, or to do anything worth the name of achievement, they sur render. It is through oft-repeated drill or never at all, that we learn, in all our Chris tian and worldly work, to keep rank. Another us? of a regiment in time of peace is to back up the law and help in its execu tion. There is a great deal of cheap wit about citiz.en soldiery, but again and again in all our cities the life of the city has been saved by tho homo guards, and then the cheap wit has been turned into grateful ad miration. It is a very healthful thing for the roughs in all our cities to understand that behind the police and the constabulary force there are military companies drilled and ready, if need be, at short notice to de fend the safety of our homesteads. Another use of a regiment in time of peace is its demonstration of the use of a sure marksman. What ought to be done at all ought to lie done well. What we want in our reformatory movements and our pulpits is to learn how to take good aim. There is so much moral amunition and strength wasted from the fact that we are not good marksmen. We are apt to aim too high or too low, and to hit everythng but the centre. Much of our time at doing good is a circum locution and hit or miss contest, a battle with blank cartridges, a pulling the trig ger with our eyes shut. Another use of a regiment in time of peace is to teach the necessity of obedience. A child that will not mind is on the way to ruin and a man who never learns to bow to au thority is an outlaw. So a cheerful obedience to superior authority is an absolute requisite to good society. What so impressively illus trates this as a regiment, the private obedient to the captain, the ceptain obedient to the colonel, the colonel obedient to the general, the general obedient to the governor, the governor obedient to the President? May tho President always be obedient to God! Law, whether military or civil, what a sublime thing! There is only one thing in the universe to which the great God ever bows, and that is to law. Although made by Himself, He bows to it. By that the uni verse is drilled and the constellations are compinies, and the galaxies are regiments, and the blazing midnight heavens are the parade ground where the stellar armies inarch and countermarch, and so complete is the drill that in a thousand years they do not make a mistake of a second in time or an inch in space. Another use of a regiment in time of peace ii the impression of good citizenship; for the welfare of city, State and nation you are en listed. All that many people do for their country is to growl and have to pay taxes. If within you is the right spirit, every hour you pass in military service is a patriotic offering and will have divine reward. Another use of a regiment in time of peace is physical recuperation. Anything that takes a man bent over the desk of a counting house and makes him straight, and those whe are wearing out with the drudgery of factorj and shop and lifts them into tho exhilaration of a well-lighted, well-ventilated, well-gov emed armory, is something upon which I want to pronounce and do pro nouee apostolic benediction. Vhe mil lennium of a Christian man is fa • off or near by in proportion as his digestion is good or bad. W hat we want in this great battle for God and the truth is a host of giants.an* 1 the armories of the national guard are doin; their share toward producing them. While you get your soul right before God. get your body right, your respiration long antfrull and dc«*p, your backbone straight as a ramrod, your face ruddy and beaming and uplifted, your step elastic, your grip firm, your pulses regular as a drum beat. Men of the Thir teenth regiment, your soul right and your l»ody right, then wheel all into the service of God. To-night enlist for time and eternity! Historians tell us of the great battles of the world, Halamis and Chalons, Marathon, Waterloo and Gettysburg, but the greatest battle is yet to be fought, and that is Armageddon. Whether with bullet or printer’s type I cannot prophesy, but when it •l oes come we want to be of the right mettle and on the right side. Wo want not only to be Christians, but rugged Christians, not afraid of hard ship and only exhilarated by attack. Asso ciated together for a little while, let us re member that the time comes when we must answer for all our opportu nities. A day of august inspection and review approaches. We sometimes talk about earthly military reviews, such as took place in Paris in tho time of Marshal Ney; in f/ondon. in the time of Wellington; and in our own land. Bat what lame things Compared with the Anal review, *h**n all the armies of tho just shall pass for divine and angelic inspection. Hark to the trumpet blast and reveille at the redirection!

But we shall hsve time to see them pass in review before the throne Os judgment, the cavalrymen, the artilervmen, the spearmen, the infantry, the eharpehooters, due gunners, the sappers, the miners, the archers, tbe iklrmishers, men of *ll colors, of all epaulets, of all standards, of all wmponry, of all countries.

Amen and Araen! A Winged Diver of the Sea. A more expert diver even than the cormorant is its white relative, tha gan net. The breeding haunts of this bird are limited to a few stations, all of-which are on the Scotch coast, except cme on Lundy and one in Kerry. The largest colony on the island, called Sula Sgeir, near Lewis, is estimated to number 300,- 000 birds. The gannet lives on fish and the quantity of herrings consumed smnu. ally by the united efforts of the birds on the five northern stations exceeds the entire take of the whole fishing flee* of Scotland, and is said to fall little Miort of 1,000,000,000. The gannet moves South in the autumn, and in the winter months along our Southern shores. When in pursuit of its prey it poises in the air like a hawk and, falling with s force that strikes up the water all round it in a cloud of foam, it disappears for some seconds below the surlace. By floating a fish upon a small plank the bird ia often killed by tbe fishermen, who use its flesh merely for bait. Jtot noticing the plank the gannet swoops down upon the fish, drives its beak deep into the board and breaks its neck, with the shock. Gannets are often taken in the herring nets, sometimes at extraor dinary depths. As many as ninety have been brought up one time in the meshes i a single net. —London Noun. Handsome Africans.

The Chief of Iboko, when I arrived, was an old man over 80 —his age was re ported by some to be 84, by others 86— who had lost one eyo in battle and pos sessed fifty wives. He was over six feet in height, with a fine, well-developed figure, and but for hit dirty white hair and shriveled skin, would have passed for a man of half his age. He was much attached to Captain Coquiihat (named “Mwafa” or the “Eagle” by the natives), and never understood anything without consulting him. The scene just after our arrival at. Bangala, when, “Le Koi de* Han gal as” being announced as we were all sitting over our afternoon coffee, Mata Bwyki entered, wearing his royal hat of leopard skin and attended by sev eral of his wives, and enfolded Captain Coquiihat, gold-spangled uniform and all, in an ample bear s hug, waa really worth aeeing.— Blarkaood’i.

TOT LAND OP EXILE. Grerge Krisss's Trie c* Siberia—Hie Slsrr te Appear la The Ceaterv. gi* a me \ rai r• HE Cextcbt Maoaxot has inspired e number of important enterprises tha Great Sooth papers; the ar ticles on Booth America (the result of an expedition sent out by tbe magazine): the Wnr Papers, which in creased it* circulation by 100,(100; the Life of Lincoln, .for the aerial publication of | which Motors. Nicolay and Hay, formerly private tec owr* is fipp II t retaries to the President, are now receiving $.50,000; these, and many others. But of all its enterprises and strials nous will surpass in interest and in far-reaching results the papers on ‘-Siberia and tbe Exile System,” the publication of which has just begun. Mr Kennan, who writes the articles, had spent a number of years in Siberia before The Century people started him off to ex plore the country in tbrir interest, and what he expected to do was to prove that the exile system was not as terrible as it bad been described. Knowing that he held views favorable to them, tbe Russian Government gave him every facility for a thorough ex amination of all the prisons and mines of Siberia. The Minister of the Interior fur nished him with a circular letter which ad mitted him everywhere, allowing him to travel with exile parties and to make the acquaintance of hundreds of “liberals.” As Mr. Kennan relates in his preface in tbe May Century, the result of all this in spection was to make him change his views completely, and he has returned to America fully convinced that Stepniak and Prince Krapotkin and other nihilist writers have not drawn with too strong colors their pict ures of the horrors of the life of a Russian exile. In these papers, beginning with the May Century, Mr. Kennan will describe his 6* umey. In the May number he nroaaes tb* ussian frontier. In June he visits tbeverv interesting forwarding prison at Tinmen, THE PRISON YARD AT TICMEN. From an Exile's Sketch in the June Century. built to accommodate 600, where, at the time of Mr. Kennan's visit, 1741 men and women were imprisoned. In rooms built to accom modate forty men. 180 were sleeping. “I breathed as little as I could while I was there,” says Mr. Kennan, “but every respir ation seemed to pollute my verv soul, and I became faint from nausea and lack of oxy gen. It was like trying to breathe in an underground hospital-drain.” Mr. K*nnan’s articles are torn oat of the copies of The Centuri which enter Russia; they, as well as Mr. Kennan himself, being now on the Russian black-list. But other countries are reading wbat Mr. Kennan writes. The articles are being translated into Polish, and tbev are appearing also in the organ of the Russian liberals at Geneva.

The pretence In the city of Mr. Lee Mapano, n Japanese, whose nose fur nishes him the means of earning a liveli hood, Mr. MapaDO being a smeller of teat, recalls the fact that in Japan tho note is tha only feature which attracts attention. The nose determines tho beauty or the ugliness of a face accord ing as it ia big or little. This is prob ably due to the fact that difference in notes constitutes about the only dis tinction between one Japanese face and another. The eyes are invariably black, the cheek bonea high ..nd the chin re ceding. In Japan a lady who has a huge proboscis {• always a raging beauty and a reigning belle. There arc few lam notes among the natives, and lucky indeed is he or she upon whom nature lavishes one.

A New Heme Treatment fer the Care of Catarrh, Catarrhal Deafness and liar Fever. Tbe microscope has proved that these dis eases are contagious, and they are due to the presence of living parasite* in the lining membrane of the upper air passages and ,eustachian tubes. Tbe eminent scientists. Tyndall. Huxley and Beale, endorse this, and these authorities caDnot be disputed. The regular method of treating these diseases has been to apply an irritant remedy weekly, and even daily, thus keeping the delicate 'mem brane in a constant state of irritation, allow ing it no chance to heal, and as a natural consequence of such treatment not one per manent cure has ever been recorded. It is an absolute fact that these diseases cannot be cured by an application made oftener than ence in two weeks, for the membrane must get a chance to heal before an application is repeated. It is now seven years since Mr. Dixon discovered the parasite in catarrh and formulated his new treatment, and since then his remedy has become a household word in every country where the English language is spoken. Cures effected by him seven years ago are cures still, there having been no return of the disease. So highly are these remedies valued that ignorant imitators have started up every where, pretending to destroy a parasite, of which they know nothing, by remedies the result* erf the application of which they are equally ignorant. Mr. Dixon’s remedy is applied only once in two weeks, and from one to three applications effect a permanent cure in the most aggravated cases. Mr. Dixon sends a pamphlet describing his new treatment on the receipt of stamp to pay postage. The address is A. H.
