Is "The Ten rif gaes of the Three Cities," and Gaa bllog In Touched on This Time. Kkw YoitUy Feb. 22. A decided sen sation was produced in this city and in Brooklyn today by Dr. Talmage's an nouncement of a series of sermons which ho proiOHC3 to preach on "The Ten Plagues of These Three Cities." In this sermon, which ia the first of the series, he pays his attention to the prev alent eurae of gambling. He preached it in the Academy of Music in Brook lyn in the morning, and again this evening at The Christian Herald serv ice in this city. Ilia text was taken from Ex. ix, 13, It: "Let my people go that they may nerve me; for I will at this time wild all my plagues." Last winter, in the museum at Cairo, Egypt, I saw the mummy or embalmed body of Pharaoh, the oppressor of the ancient Israelites. Visible are the very teeth that he gnashed against the Is raelitish brick makers, the sockets of the iiiercileJ eyes with which ho looked upon the overburdened people of God, the hair that floated in the breeze off the lied sea, the very lips with vliich ho commanded them to mako bricks without straw. Thousands of ye.-vrs after, when the wrappings of the mum my were unrolled, old Pharaoh lifted up hid arm as If in imploration, but his skinny bones cannot again clutch his shattered scepter. It was to compel that tyrant to let the oppressed go free that the memorable ten plagues were sent. Sailing the Nile and walking amid the ruins of Egyptian cities, I saw no remains of those plagues that smote the water or the air. None of the frogs croaked in the one, none of the locusts sounded their rattle in the other, and the cattle bore no sign of the murrain, and tlirough the starry nights hovering through the pyramids no de stroying angel swept his wing, but there are ten plagues still stinging and befoul ing and cursing our cities, and like angels of wrath smiting not only the first born but the last born. Brooklyn, New York and Jersey City, though called three, are practi cally one. The bridge already fasten ing two of them together will be fol lowed by other bridges and by tunnels from both New Jersey and Long Island chores, until what is true now will, as the years go by, become more em phatically true. The average condi tion of public morals in this cluster of cities is as good, if not better, than in any other part of the world. lMde of city is natural to men in all times if they live or have lived in a metropolis noted for dignity or prow ess. Caesar boasted of his native Rome, Lycurgus of Sparta, Virgil of Andes, Demosthenes of Athens, Archimedes of Syracuse, and Paul of Tarsus. I should suspect a man of base heartedness who carried about with him no feling of complacency in regard to the place of his residence, who gloried not in its arts or arms or behavior, who looked with no exultation upon its evidences of prosperity, its artistic embellish ments and its scientific attainments. Tn"K IUIIDK OK CITY. I have noticed that men never like a place where they have not behaved well. . Men who have free rides in pris on vans never like the city that fur nishes the vehicle. When I see in lris .itory Argos, Rhodes, Smyrna, Chios, Colophon and several other cities claiming Homer, I conclude that Homer behaved well. Let us not war against this pride of city, not expect to build up ourselves by pulling others down. Let Boston have its Commons, its Faneuil hall and its magnificent scientific and educational institutions. Let Philadelphia talk about its mint and Independence hall and Girard col lege and its old families, as virtuous as venerable. When I find a man living in one of those places who has nothing to say in favor of them, I feel like asking him, "What mean thing did you do that you do not like your native city f New York is a goodly city, and, when I say that, I mean the region between Spay ten Duyvil creek and Jamaica in one direction and Newark flats in the other direction. . That which tends to elevate a part elevates all. That which blasts part blasts alL Sin is a giant, and he comes to the Hudson or Con necticut river, and passes it, as easily as we step across a figure in the carpet. The blessing of God is an angel, and when it stretches out its two wings one of them hovers over that and the other over this. In infancy the great metropolis was laid down by the banks of the Hudson. Its infancy was as feeble as that of Moses sleeping in the bulrushes by the Nile, and, like Miriam, there our fathers stood and watched it The royal spirit of American commerce came down to the waver to bathe, and there she found it She took it in her arms, and tho child grew and waxed strong, and the ships of foreign lands brought gold and spices to its feet, and stretching it self up into the proportions of a me trpolis it lias looked up to' the mount ains and oil upon the sea the mighti est of the energies of American civiliza tion. The character of the founder of a city will be seen for many years in its inhabitants. Romulus impressed his life upon Rome. The Pilgrims relaxed not their hold upon the cities of New England. William Penn has left Phil adelphia an inheritance of integrity and fair dealing, and on any day in that city you may see in the manners, cus toms and principles of its people his tastes, his coat, his hat, his wife's bon net and his plain meeting house. The Hollanders still wield an influence over New York. KKW YOUK A QBA3TD CITY. Grand old New York! What south ern thoroughfare was ever smitten by pestilence when our physicians did not throw themselves upon the sacrifice! What distant land has cried out in the agony of famine and our ships have not put out with breadstufls! .What street of Damascus or Beyrout or Madras that has not heard the step of our mis sionaries! What struggle for national life in which our citizens have not poured their blood into the trenches t What gallery of exquisite art in which our painters have not hung their pict ures! What department of literature or science to which our scholars have not contributed! r 1. 1 I need not speak of our public schools, where the children' of the cord wainerand milkman and glassblower stand by the side of the flattered sons -. . PLAGUES Of THE CITIES, asylums on all these islands, where they who went cutting themselves among the tombs now sit, clothed and in their right minds; or of the Magdalen asy lums, where tho lost one of the street comes to bathe the Savior's feet with her tears and wipe them with the hairs of her head, confiding in the pardon of him who said, "Let him who is with out sin cast the first tone at her. " I need not speak of the institutions for the blind, the lame, the deaf and the dumb, for the incurables, the widow, the orphan, and the outcast; or of the thousand-armed machinery that sends streaming down from the reservoirs tho clear, bright, sparkling, God given water that? rushes through our aqueducts and dashes out of the hydrants, and tosses up in our fount ains, and hisaes in our steam engines, and showers out the conflagration, and sprinkles from the baptismal font of our churches; and with silver note, and golden sparkle, and crystalline chime, says to hundreds of thousands of our imputation, in the authentic words of him who said, ' 1 will : be thou clean 1" All this I premise in opening this courje of sermons on tho ten plagues of these three cities, lest some stupid man might say I am depreciating the place of my residence. I speak to you today concerning the plague of gam bling. Every man and woman in this house ought to be interested in this theme. TIIK l'LAGCK OF GAMBLING. Some years ago, when an association for the suppression of gambling was or ganized, an agent of the association came to a prominent citizen and asked him to patronize the association. He said, No, I have no interest in such an organization. I am in no wise af fected by that evil." At that very time his son, who was his partner in busi ness, was one of the heaviest playerj in Hearnc's famous gambling establish lishmcnt. "Another refused his patron age on the same ground, not knowing that his first bookkeeper, though re ceiving a salary of only a thousand dol lars, was losing trom fifty to one hun dred dollars per night. The president of a railroad company refused to pat- only in the underground oyster cellar, j Witncs years ago a cashier of a Tail or at the table back of the curtain, j who stole ono hundred and three cwicitu iu b"; vo, j vuc. tiHMisaiKi aouan to carry on uis cam . m, . . ronue the institution, saying, "That society is good for the defense of mer chants, but wo railroad people are not injured by this eviL" not knowing that at that very time two of his conductors were spending three nights of each week at faro tables in New York. Di rectly or indirectly, this evil strikes at the whole world. Gambling is the risking of something more or less valuable in the hope of winning more tlian you hazard. The instruments of gaming may differ, but the principle is the same. The shuffling and dealing cards, however full of temptation, is not gambling unless stakes are put up; while, on the other hand, gambling may bo carried on with out cards or dice, or billiarl3 or a ten pin alley. The man who bets on horses, on elections, on battles the man who deals in "fancy" stocks, or conducts a business whieh hazards extra capital, or goes into transactions without founda tion, but dependent upon what men call "luck," is a gambler. Whatever you expect to get from your neighbor without offering an equivalent in money or time or skill is either the product of theft or gaming. Lottery tickets and lottery policies como into the same category. Fairs for the founding of hospital:;, schools and churches conducted on the raffling sys tem come under the same denomina tion. Do not, therefore, associate gam bling necessarily with any instrument or game or time or place or think the principle depends upon whether you play for a glass of wine or one hundred shares of railroad stock. Whether you patronize "auction pools," "French mutuals" or "book making," whether you employ faro or billiards, rondo and keno, cards or bagatelle, the very idea of the thing is dishonest, for it pro fesses to bestow upon you a good for which you give no equivalent. EIGHTY iUXLION DOLLARS EVERY DAY. It is estimated that every day in Christendom eighty million dollars pass from hand to hand through gambling practices, and every year in Christen dom one hundred and twenty-three billion one hundred inillion dollars change hands in that way. There are in this cluster of cities about eight hundred confessed gambling establish ments. There are about three thou sand five Lund r; vl professional gam biers. Out of the er!it hundred gam bling establishments, how manyof them do you suppose profess to be honest? Ten. These ten profess to be honest because they aro merely the ante chamber to tho seven hundred and ninety that are acknowledged fraudu lent. There aro first class gambling estab lishments. You go up tho marble stairs. You ring the bell. The liver ied servant introduces you. The walls are lavender tinted. The mantels are of Vermont marble. The pictures are "Jephthah's Daughter," and Dore's "Dante's and Virgil's Frozen Region of Hell" a most appropriate selection, this last, for the place. There is the roulette table, the finest, the costliest, most exquisite piece of furniture in the United States. There is the banquet ing room where, free of charge to the guests, you may find the plate and vi ands and wines and cigars sumptuous beyond parallel. Then you come to the second class gambling establishment. To it you are introduced by a card through some "roper in." Having entered you mnst either gamble or fight. Sanded cards, dice loaded " with quicksilver, poor drinks, will soon help you to get rid of all your money to a tune in short meter with staccato passages. You wanted to ee. You saw. The low villains of that place watch you as you come in. Does not the panther, squat in the grass, know a calf when he sees it! Wrangle not for your rights in that place, or your body will" be thrown bloody into the street, or dead into the East river. v . You go along a little further and find the policy establishment. In that place you bet on numbers. Betting on two numbers is called a "saddle;" betting on three numbers is called a "gig;" bet ting on four numbers is called a "horse," and there are thousands of our young men leaping into that "sad dle," and mounting that "gig," and be hind that "horse," riding to perdition, There is always one kind of sign on the door "Exchange," a most appropriate title for the door, for there, in that room, a man exchanges health, peace and heaven for; loss of health, loss of home, loss of family, loss of immortal souL ; Exchange sure enough and in finite enough, UKS CAN OAMKLB WHKKK THEY USE. . Men wishing to. -gamble will find places j usmtedsrtCftpacityLjt steamboat smoking cabin, where the bloated wretch with rings in his ears; instead of his nose deals the pack and , winks in the unsuspecting traveler providing free drinks all around but in gilded parlors and amid gorgeous surroundings. A young man. having suddenly heired a largo property, sits at the hazard table, and takes up in a dice box the estate won by a father's lifetime sweat, and shakes it and tosses it away. Intem perance soon stigmatizes its victim kicking liiiu out, a slavering fooL into the ditch, or sending him, with the drunkard's hiccough, staggering up the street where his family lives. But gam bling does not in that way expose its victims. Tho gambler may be eaten up by the gambler's passion, ,yet you only dis cover it by the greed in his eyes, the hardness of his features;, the nervous restlessness, the threadbare coat and his embarrassed business. Yet he is on tho road to hell, and no preacher's voice or startling warning, or wife's en treaty can make hiin-stay for a moment his headlong career. The infernal spell is on him; a giant U arou.-sed within; and though you bind.him with cables, they would part Ike thread; and though you fasten luni seven times round with chains, they would snap like rusted wire; and'though you piled up in his path heavenihigh Bibles, tracts and sermons, and on-the top should set tho cross of the son of God, over theui all the gambler would leap, like a roe over the rocks, on his way to perdition Again, this an works ruin-by killing industry. A man used to reaping scores, or hundreds, or thousands of dollars from the gaming table -will not be content with slow work. He will say, "What is the use of trying to make these fifty dollars in my store when I can get five times that in half an hour down at 'Billy's' V You never knew a confirmed gambler who was in dustrious. The men given to 'this vice spend their timo not actively employed in tho game in idleness or intoxication or sleep, or in corrupting new victims. This sin lias dulled the carpenter's saw, and cut the band of the factory wheel, sunk the cargo, broken tho teeth of the farmer's harrow, and sent a strange lightning to shatter tho battery of the philosopher. Tho very first idea in gaming is at war with all tho industries of, society. ITS MIGIITY LKVEU. This crime ia getting its lever under many a mercantile house in our great cities, and before long down will come the great establishment, crushing repu tation, homo, comfort and immortal souls. How it diverts and sinks capi tal may bo inferred from some authen tic statement bef oro us. The ten gam ing houses that once were authorized in Paris passed through the banks yearly three hundred and twenty-five millions of francs. Where does all the money come from? The whole world is robbed ! What is most sad, there are no consolations for the loss and suffering entailed by gaming. If men fail in lawful business God pities and society commiserates, but where in the Biblo or in society is there any consolation for tho gambler ? Prom what tree of tho forest oozes there a balm that can soothe the gamester's heart? In that bottle where God keeps the tears of his children are there any tears of the gamble? Do the winds that come to kiss the faded cheek of sickness, and to cool the heated brow of the laborer, whisper hope and cheer to the emaciated victim of the game of hazard? When an honest man is in trouble he has sympathy. "Poor fel low!" they say. But do gamblers come to weep at the agonies of the gamblor? In Northumberland was one of the finest estates in England. Mr. Porter owned it, and in u year gambled it all away. Having lost the last acre oi tne estate, lie came down from the saloon and got into his carriage ; went back, put up his horses and carriage and town house and played. He threw and lost. Ho started home, and in a side alley met a friend from whom he borrowed ten guineas; went back to the saloon, and before a great while had won t wenty thousand pounds. He died at last, a bejgar in St. Giles, now many gamblers felt sorry for Mr. Por ter? Who consoled him on the loss of Lis estate ? What gambler subscribed to put a stone over the poor man's grave? Not one! Furthermore, this sin is the source of uncounted dishonesties. The game of hazard itself is often a cheat. How many tricks and deceptions in the deal ing of the cards ! The opponent's hand is oftentimes found out by fraud. Cards are marked so that they may be desig nated from the back. Expert game sters have their accomplices, and one wink mav decide the game. The dice have been found loaded with platina, so that "doublets" come up every time. These dice are introduced by the gam blera, unobserved by honest men who coma into the play; and this accounts for the fact that ninety-nine out of a hundred who gamble, however wealthy they began, at the end are found to be poor, miserable, ragged wretches, that would not now bo allowed to sit on the doorstep of the house that they or ce owned. In a gaining house in San Francisco a young man having just come from the mines deposited a large sum upon the ace and won twenty-two thousand dollars. But the tide turns. Intense anxiety comes upon the countenances of alL Slowly the cards went forth. TT ' - -T 3 i Xivery eye is nxea. jot a sound is heard until the ace is revealed, favor able to the bank. There are shouts of "Foul!" "Foul!" but the keepers of the table produce their pistols and the uproar is silenced, and the bank has won ninety-five thousand dollars. Do you call this a game of chance? There is no chance about it. FRACDS IX ORDER TO GET MONEY, But these dishonesties in the carry ing on of the game are nothing when compared with the frauds which are committed in order to get money to go on with the nefarious work. Gambling with its-greedy hand has snatched away the widow's mite and the portion of the orphans, has sold the daughter's virtue to get the means to continue the game, has written the counterfeit signature. emptied the banker's money vault and wielded the assassin's dagger. There is io depth of meanness to which it wil lot stoop. There is no cruelty at which it is appalled. There is no warning pi God that it will not dare. Merciless, unappeasable, fiercer and wilder - it blinds, it hardens, it rends, it blasts, it crushes, it damns. It has peopled our prisons and lunatie 'asylums. How many railroad agents and cashiers and trustees of funds it has driven to dis grace, mcarceran3n and Eujcide ! ing practices. Witness forty thousand dollars stolen from a Brooklyn bank within the memory of many of you, and tle one hundred and eighty thou sand dollar taken from a Wall street Hi former associates come not nigh hi dwelling. When the hour comes his miserable soul will go oat of a mis erable life Into & miserable eternity. As his poor remains pass the hotse .hero he was ruined, old companions a A A 1 may Joos out a mocaeu uu j. There goes the old carcass deaa insurance company for the same pur- j last," but they will not get up from the pose: liieseare oniy uiusiraiions on a large scale of robberies every day committed for the purpose of carrying out the designs of gamblers. Hundreds of thousands of dollars every year leak out witliout observation from the merchant's till into the gambling helL A man in Loudon keeping ouo of these gambling houses lxasted that he had ruhied a nobleman a day; but if all the saloous of this land were to speak out they might utter a more infamous biit, for they have destroyed a thou sand noble men a year. Notice ai.so tne elieet ot this crime upon domestic liappiuess. It has sent its ruthless plowshare through hundreds of families, until the wife sat in rags and the daughters were disgraced and the sous grew up to the same infamous practices or took a short cut to destruc tion across tho murderer's scaffold. Home Las lost ail charms for the gam bler! How tamo are the children's ea- res-scsand a wife's devotiou to the gam bier! How drearily tho fire burns on the domestic hearth ! There must be louder laughter, and something to win and something to lose ; an excitement to drive the heart faster and fillip the blood and fire the imagination. No home, however bright, can keep back the gamester. The sweet call of love bounds back from us iron soul, and all endearments are consumed in the flame of his passion. The family Bible will go after all other treasures ore lost, and if his crown in heaven were put into his hand he would cry : "Here goes one more came, my boys! On this one throw I stake my crown of heaven." A young man in London on coming of age received a fortune of one hun dred and twenty thousand dollars, and, tnrougn gambling, in three years was thrown on his mother for support. An only son went to a southern city ; he was rich, intellectual and elegant in manners. His parents gave him n his departure from home their last bless ing. Tho sharpers got hold of him They flattered him. They lured him to the gaming table and let him win almost every time for a good while. and pattod him on tho back and said, 4 'First rate player. " But, fully in theii grasp, they fleeced him, and his thirty thousand dollars were lost. Last of all he put up his watch and lost that. Then he began to think of his home, and Ids old father and mother, and wrote thus: A LAST LETTER. "My Beloved Parents You will doubtless feel a momentary joy at the reception of this letter from tho child of your bosom, on whom you have lavished all the favors of your declin ing years. But should a feeling of joy for a moment spring up in your hearts when you should have received this from me cherish it not. I have fallen never to rise. Those gray hairs that 1 should have honored and protected I shall bring down with sorrow to the grave. I will not curse my destroyer, but oh ! may God avenge the wrongs and impositions practiced upon the un wary in a way that shall best please Him. This, my dear parente, is the last letter you will ever receive from me. I humbly pray your forgiveness, It is my dying prayer. Long before you have received this lotter from me the cold grave will have closed upon me forever. Life to me is insupport able. I cannot ; nay, I will not, suffer the shame of having ruined you. For get and forgive is tho dying prayer of your unfortunate son, The old father came to the postoffi.ee, got the letter and fell to the floor. They thought he was dead at first, but they brushed back the white hair from his brow and fanned him. He had only fainted. I wish he had been dead ; for what is life worth to a father after his son is destroyed? When things go wrong at a gaming table they shout "Foul! foul!" Over all the gaming tables of the world I cry out, "Foul! foul ! Infinitely foul !" Shall I sketch the history of the gambler? Lured by bad company he finds his way into a place where honest men ought never to go. He sits down to his first game, but only for pastime and the desire of being thought sociable. The players deal out the cards. They unconsciously play into satan's hands, who takes all the tricks .and both the players' souls for trumps he being a sharper at any game. A slight stake is put up just to add interest to the play. Game after game is played. Largei stakes and still larger. They begin to move nervously on their chairs. Theh brows lower and eyes flash, until now they who win and they who lose, fired alike with passion, sit with set jaws and compressed hps and clinched fists, and eyes like fire balls that seem starting from their sockets, to see the final turn before it comes; if losing, pale with envy and tremulous with unaltered oaths cast back red hot upon the heart or, winning, with hysteric laugh "Ha! ha! I have it! I have it!" A few years have passed and he is only the wreck of a Seating himself at the game ere he throws the first card, he stakes the last relic of his wife and the marriage ring which sealed the solemn vows between them. The game is lost, and staggering back in exhaustion he dreams.
