REV. DR. TALMAGE. HIE BROOKLYN DIVINE'S SUNDAY SERMON. Text: The Queen Vashti refused to come. Esther i., 12. If you will accept my arm I will escort you into a tbrono room. In this fifth sermon of the series of sermons there are certain voman y excellencies which I wish to commend, but instead of putting them in dry abstraction, I present you their impersonation in one who seldom, if evei, K''s sernionic recognition. "We stand amid the palaces of Shushan. Th pinnacles are aflame with the morn in e light. The columns rise festooned and MTiytthetl, tho wealth of empires flashing from thn grooves; the ceilings adorned with images of binl and beast, and scenes cf pro .-. ess and conquest. The walls are hung with shields, and emblazoned until it seems that the whole round of splendors is ex hausted. Each arch is a mighty leap of architectural achievement. Golden stars, shining down on plowing arabesque. Hrng insof embroidered work, in which ming) the blueness of the sky, the greenness of the grass and the whiteness of the sea foam. Tapestries hunj; on silver rings, wedding to gether the pillars of marble. Pavilions reaching out in every direc tion. These for repose, Idled with "luxuriant cou hes, in which weary limbs sink until all fatigue is submerged. 1 hese for carousal, where Kings drink down a kingdom at one swallow Amazing spectacle! Light of silver dripping ilown over stairs of ivory on shields of gold. Floors of stained marble, snnset red and night black, and inlaid with gleaming pearl. Why, it seems as if a heavenly vision of amethyst, an I jacinth, and topaz, and :hrysopra:-us had descended and alighted upon Wiushan. It stents as if a billow of celestial glory had dashed clear over heavens battlements upon this metrop olis of Persia. In connection with this palace thero is a garden, where the mighty men of foreign lands are seated at a banquet. Under the spread of oak, and linden, and acacia. the tables are ar ranged. The breath of honeysuckle and frankincense tills the air. Fountains leap up into the lighr, the sprav struck through with jainl ows tailing in crystalline baptism upon liowering shrubs then rolling down through channels of marble, and widening out here and there into pools swirling with the finny trib-s of foreign aquariums, bordered with scarlet nne!:ion;s, hvpericums, and many col ored ranimru!,!. Meats of rarest bird and Jeast smoking up amid wreaths of aromatics. The vases tilled with apricots and almonds. Iho basket piled up with apricots, and dates, and figs, and oranges an l pomegran ates. Melons ta.,tefii!iy iined with leaves of acacia. The bright waters of Eulneus Idling th; urns, ami sweating outside the Mm in Hashing leads amid the traceries, uine from the royal vats of Ispahan and Shiraz, in bottles of tinged shell, and lily (diapedcups of silver, and flagons and tank ards of solid gold. Th music rises higher, and the revelry breaks out into wilder trans port, and the wins has flushed the cheek and touched the brain, and louder than all other voices a. e the hiccough of the inebriates, the gabble of i'ojls, and tlie song of the drunk ard s. a In another pirt of tho palace Queen Vashti is entertaining the princesses of Fersia at a banquet. Drunken Ahasuerus says to his nervants: "You go out and fetch Vashti from that banquet with the women, and bring her to this banquet with the men, and let me display her beauty." The servants linme ltatA.y nrt to obey the king's com mand, but there was a rnl,s in Oriental soci ety that no woman might appear in public ! "iiuuui, uuviog ner lace veiled, let here .-as a mandate, that no one dare dispute, de manding that Vashti ccme in unveiled before the multitude. However, there was in Vashtis soul a principle more regal than Ahasuerus, more brilliant than the gold of Shushan, of more wealth than the revenue of Persia, w hich commanded her to disobey the order vt ithl KinS": an,l so all the righteousness and hohms-; and modesty of lier nature uses up into one sublime refusal. She siys: " I will not go into the banquet unveiled." uf coiuse, Ahasuerus was infuriated; and Vashti, robbed of her po rtion and her estate, is driven forth in 1-overty and ruin to sudor the scorn t a nation, an I yet to receive the ipplause of after generations, who shall, rise up to a huire this martyr to kingly insolence. A Veil, the last vestige of that ieast is gone: the last .garland has faded; the last arch has fallen: the last tankard has been destroyed, and shushan is a ruin; but s long as the world stands there will be mu.tituJes of men and women, familiar with the Dib:e. who will cone into this picture gallery of God and admire the divine iortrait of ashti the Queen. Vahti the veiled, Vashti the sacrifice, Vashti the silent In the iirt place, I want vou to look upon ashtith.-i Queen. A blue ribbon, raved wjtu white, drawn around her forehtai, 'in dicated her queenly position. It was no small honor to bo queen in such a realm as that. Hark to the rustle of her robes! See t he blaze of her jewels! And yet, my friends. t is not necessary to have palace and regal robe in order to be queenly. When I fee a woman with stout faith in God. putting her toot upon all meanness, and selfishness, ani godless display, going right forward to serve v'hrist and the race i-y a grand and glorious .-ervice, I say: "Tint woman is a queen.' and tha ranks of heaven look over the battlements upon the coronation: and whether she come up from the shanty on the commons or the mansion of the iashionable square, I greet her with the si-.out: "A!i had! Queen Vashti"" "What glory was there on the brow of Marv, of fi:otland; or Elizabeth, of England"; or Margaret, of France, or Catharine, of Rus sia, compared with Hie worth of some of our Christian mothers, manv of them gone into glory? or of that woman mentioned in the .-oriptures, who put her all into the Lord's treasury.' or of Jephtl.ah's daughter, who madea demonstration of unselfish patriotism? or of Abigail, who rescued the herds and flocks of her husband.' or of Ruth, who 'oiled under a tropica! sun for poor, old, helpless 'ao!jn.' or of Mrs. Adouiram Jud-t-on, who kindled the lights of salvation amid t lie darkness of Hurmahf or of Mrs. Hemans, who poured cut her whole sole in words which will be forever associate 1 with hunter's horn, ami captive's chain, and bridal hour, and lute s throb, an i curfew s l.nell atthe dying day.' and scores and hun dreds of women, unknown o:i earth. who have given water to the thirsty, and bread to the hungry, and medicine to the sick, and smiles ro the discouraged their footsteps heard along dark lane, and in government hospital, and in almshouse corridor, and bv prison gate? There may be no royal robe there may be no palatial surroundings. She does not need them; for all charitable men will unite with the crackling lips of fever struck bospital and' plague blotched lazaretto in greeting her as she passes: "Hail! hail! Queen Vashti." Among the queens whom I honor are the female day school teachers of this land. I put upon their brow the coronet. They are the sisters and the daughters of our towns and cities, selected out of a vast number of applicants, because of their especial intel lectual and mcral endowments. There are in none of your homes wo.nen more worthy, '..'hese persons, some of them, come out from u ftluent homt s, choosing teaching as a usef 1 profession: others, tin ling that father is oldei than he used to be, and that bis eyesight and htrength are not as good as once, go to teach ing to lighten his load. But I tell you th history . f the majority of the female teach trs in the public schools when I say: "Fathei is dead.''

Brutal mi m ta; the? gt iustice. 1 Crotaon brtaJOag up oaiTiifft ftut of "Within a stone's throw of this buildini there died years ago one of tho principals oJ our public schools. She had been twenty-fin years at that post She had left the touch of refinement on a multitude of the young. She had, out of her slender purse, given literally hundreds of dollars for the destitute who came under her observation as a school teacher. A deceased sister's children wer thrown upon her hands, and she took care of them. She was a kind mother to them, while she mothered the whole school. Worn out with nursing in the sick and dying room of one of the household, she herself came to die. She closed the school book and at the same time the volume of her Christian fidelity: and when she went through the gates they cried: "These are they who came out of great tribu lation, and had their robes washed and mad white in the blood of the Lamb." Queens are all such, and whether the world acknowledges them or not, Heaven acknowl edges them. When Scarron, the wit and ecclesiastic, as poor as he was brilliant, was about to marry lime, de Maintenon, he was asked by the notary what he proposed to settle npen mademoiselle. The reply was: "Immortality! The names of the wives of kings die with them; the name of the wife of Scarron will live always." In a higher and better sense, upon all women who do their duty God will settle immortality! Not the immortality of earthly fame, which is mor tal, but the immortality celestial. And they hall reign forever and ever ! Oh, the opportu ity which every woman has of being a queent The loneer I live the more I admire good womanhood. And I bave come to form my Dpinion of the character of a man by his ap oreciation or non-appreciation of woman. If a man has a depressed idea of womanly character he is a bad man, and there is no exception to this rule. The vritings of Goethe can rever have any such attractions for me as Shakespeare, because nearly ait the womanly characters of the great German have some kind of turpitude. There is his Mariana with her clandestine scheming, aad his Mignon of evil parentage, yet worse than her ancestors, and his Theresa the brazen, and his Aurelia of many intrigues, and his Fhilina the termagant, ani his Melina the tarnished, and his Baroness, and his Count ess, and there is seldom a womanly charac ter in all his voluminous writings that would be worthy of residence in a respectable coal cellar, yet pict ured, and dramatized, and emblazoned tili all the literary world is compelled to sse. So, no! Give me William Shakespeare's idea of woman; and I see it in Desdemona, and Cordelia, and Rosalind, and Imogen, and Helena, and Hermione. and Viola, and Isa bella, and Sylvia, and Perdita, all of them with enoujrh faults to prove them human, tmt enoughTdndly characteristics to give ns the author's idea of womanhood, his Lady Macbeth only a dark background to bring jut the supreme loveliness of his other female diaracters. Oh, woman of America! rise to your op portunity. Be no slave to pride, or worldu ness, or sin. Why ever crawl in the dust ivhen you can mount a throne? Be queens onto God forever. Hail Vashti! ATjain : I want you to consider Vashti the reile J . Had she appeared before Ahashuerus md his court on thatday, with her face un rovered, she would have shocked all the deli cacies of Oriental society, and the very men wuo m their intoxication rtemaaded that she rae, in their sober moments would have Jespised her. As some flowers seem to thrive nest in the dark lane and in the shadow, and where the sun does not seem to reach them, so God appoints to most womanly natures i retiring and unobtrusive spirit. God 3nee in a while does call an Isabella to a throne, or a Miriam to strike the tim bral at the front of a host, or a Marie An :oinette t quell a French mob. or a Deborah w stand at the front of an armed battalion, ?rying out: " Up! up! This is the day in w hich the Lord will deliver Sisera into" thv bands." And when women are called to such outdoor work, r.d to such heroic positions, Sod prepares them for it: and they have iron in their soul, and lightnings in their eye, and whirlwinds in their breath, and the borrowed itrength of the Lord Omnipotent in their right arm. They walk through furnaces as though they were hedges of wild flowers, and ?ross seas as though they were shimmering sapphire, and all the harpies of nell sink down .to their dungeons at the stamp of their womanly indigna tion. But these are exceptions. Generally Dorcas would rather make a garment for the poor boy; Rebecca would rather fill the trough for the camels; Hannah would rather make a coat for Samuel ; the Hebrew maid would rather give a prescription for INaa man's leprosy; the woman of Sarepta would rather gather a few sticks to cook a meal for famished Elijah; Phoebe would rather carry a letter for the inspired Apostle: Mother Lois would rather educate Timothy in the Script ures. When 1 see a woman going about her daily duty with cheerful dignity presiding at the table; with kind and gentle, bat firm, discipline presiding in the nurs ery, going out into the world with out any bla?t of trumpets, following in the footsteps of him who went about doing good I say: "This is Vashti with a veil on."' But when I see a woman of unblushing boldness, loud voiced, with a tongue of infinite clitter clatter; with arro gant look, passing through the streets with a masculine swing, gayly arrayed in a very hurricane of millinery. I cry out: "Vashti has lost her veil?" When I see a woman struggling for political preferment, and re jecting the duties of home as insignificant and thinking the offices of wife, mother ana daughter of no importance, and trying to force her way up on into conspicuity, I say: "Ah, what a pity! Vashti has lost her veili" When I see a woman of comely features, and of adroitness of intellect, and en dowed with all that the schools can do for one, and of the bieh social position, yet moving in society with super ciliousness and hauteur, as though she would have people know their place, and an unde fined combination of giggle, and strut, and rodomontade, endowed with allopathic quan tities of talk, but only homoeopathic infin tapir mals of sense, the terror of dry goods clerks and railroad conductors, discoverers of sig nificant meanings in plain conversation, prodigies of badinage and innuendo I say: "Vashti has lost her veiL" But do not misinterpret what I say into a depreciation of the work of these glorious and divinely called women who will not be understood till after they are dead, women like Susan B. Anthony, who are giving their life for the improvement of the condition of their sex. Those of you that think that women have under the laws of this country an equal chance with men are ignorant of the laws. A gentleman writes me from Maryland, saying: Take the laws of this state. A man and wife start out in life full of hope in every respect : by their joint efforts, and. as is frequently the" case, through the economic ideas of the wife, succeed in ac cumulating a fortune, but they have no ehildren; they reach ld age together, and then the husband dies. What does the law of this State do then i It says to the widow; "Hands off your late husband's property: do not touch it; the State will find others to whom it will give that; bui you. the widow, must not touch it, only so much as will keep life within 3-our aged body, thaA you may live to see those others enjoy what rightfully should be your own." And the State seeks, the relatives of the deceased husband, whether they be near or far, whether they were ever heard of before or not, and transfers to them, singly or collectively, the estate of the de ceased husband and living widow. Now, that is a specimen of unju t law3 in all tho states concerning womanhood. - In stead of flying oflf to the discussion as to whether or not the giving of the right of voting to woman will correct these laws, let me say to men. be gallant enough, and fair enough, and honest enough, and righteous enough, and God loving enough to correct these wrongs against women by your own masculine vote. Do not wait for woman suffrage to come, if it ever does come, but so far as you can touch ballot boxes, and Legis latures and Congresses begin the reforma tion. rtlt until lustlrt is dona tn woman bv the laws of all the States, let the women of neinr sho rnmoo v,r,i 1 i tnenlless. trudging along with a broken hart. Who is she? It is Vashti the sacra fice. Oh. what a change it was from regal position to a wayfarer's crust A little whil ago approved and sought for; now ione so tt v. ao.

After a while he will flounder and strueg'.e like a wild beast in the hunter'; net further away from God. farther awai Lapithae. The house full of outrage, and cruelty, and abomination, while trudging forth from the palace gate are Vashti and her children. There are homes represented in this house this morning that are in danger of such a breaking up. Oh Ahasuerus. that you should stand in a home, by a dissipated life destroying the peace and comfort of that home. Gad forbid that your children should ever have to wring their hands, and have people point their hands at them as they pass down the street, and say, "There goes a drunkard's child." God forbid that the lit tle feet should ever have to trudge the path of poverty and wretchedness. God forbid that any evil spirit, born of the wine cup or the brandy flask, should come forth and un root that garden, and, with a blasting, blis tering, all consuming cnrs9, shut for ever the palace gate against Vashti and the children. Oh the women and men of sacrifice are poing to take the brightest coronals of heavea ! This woman of the text gave uo palatial resi dence, gave up all for what she considered right. Sacrifice! Is there anything more sublime t A. steamer called the Prairie Bludso, the engineer, declared he would keep the bow of the boat to the shore till all were eff, and he kept his promise. At his post, scorched and blackened, he perished, but he saved all the passengers. Two verses of pa thetic poetry describe the scene, but the verses are a little rough, aud so I changed a word or two: Through the hot black breath of the burning Jim Blad'o'g voice was heard. And ihey all had trust in his etnbborness, And knew he would keep his word. And euro's yoa're barn they all got otf fore the smokestacks fell: And Bladio'i ghost wentnp above. In the smoke of the Prairie Balle. He weren't no taint, bnt at Judgment I'd rim toy chance with Jim, Longside of tome pions eentlemen That wouldn't ehake hands with him. Ile'd teen big duty, a dead Far thing. And went for it there and then. And Chrigt Is not going to be too hard On a man that died for men. Once more: I want you to look at Vashti the silent. You do not hear any outcry from this woman as she goes forth from the palace gate. From the very dignity of her nature you know there will be no vociferation. aometimes in life it is necessary to make a retort; sometimes in life it is necessary to resist; but there are crises when the most triumphant thing to do is to keep silence. The philosopher, confident in his newly dis covered principle, waited for the coming of more intelligent generations, willing that men should laugh at the lightning rod, and cotton gin and steamboat waiting for long years through the scoffing of philo sophical schools, in grand and magnificent silence. Galileo, condemned by mathema ticians.and monks, and cardinals, caricatured everywhere, yet waiting and watching with bis telescope to see the coming up of stellar re-enforcements, when the stars in their courses would fight for the Copernican sys tem; then sitting down in complete blindness End deafness to wait for the coming of the generations who would build his monument and bow at his grave. The reformer, exs erated by his contemporaries, fastened in a pillory, the slow fires of public contempt burning under him, ground under the cylin ders of the printing press. yet calmly waiting for the day when purity of soul and heroism f character will get the sanction of earth and the plaudrts or heaven. Affliction, en during without any complaint the sharpness of the pang, and the violence of the storm, and the heft of th9 chain, and the darkness of the night waiting until a divine hand shall be put forth to sooth tho pang, and hash the storm, and release the captive. A wife abused, persecuted, and a perpetual sxila from every earthly comfort waiting, waiting, until the Lord shall gather up his dear children in a heavenly home, and no poor Vashti will ever be thrust out from the palace gate. Jesus, in silence, and answer ing uut a. nuru, ui inning luo gui, uetiriii the cross, in prospect of the rapturous con summation when Angels thronged hie chariot wheel, And bore him to his throne: Then f.ve;t their golden harps and sang 1 nc glorious wore is aone. si Arctie explorer found a ship floating h?lplessly about among the icebergs, and go ng on board he found that the captain I as frozen at his log book, and the helms man was fro :en at the wheel, and thi men on the lookout were frozen in their places. That was awful, but magnificent. All the Arctic blasts an i all the icebergs cauld not drive them from their duty. Their silence was louder than thunder. And this old ship of a world has many at their posts in the awful chill of neglect, and frozen of the world's s?orn, and their silence shall be the eulogy of the skies, and be rewarded lonjj after this weather-beaten craft of a planet shall have made its last voyage. I thank God that the migbtest influences are the most silent. The fires in a furnace of a factory, or of a steamship, roar though they only move a few shuttles or a few thousand tons, but the sun that warms a world rises and set? without a crackl , or faintest sound. Travelers visiting Mount ..Etna, having heard of the glories of sunrise on that peak, went up to spend the night there and see the sun rise next morning, but when it came up it was so far behind their anticipatious they actually hissed it The mightiest influ?uces to-day are like the planetary system completely silent Don't niss the sun ! O, woman ! does not this story of Vashti the queen, Vashti the veiled, Vashti the sac rifice, Vashti the sileut, move your soul? My sermon converges into the one absorbing hope that none of you may be shut out of the Ealaee gate of heaven. You can endure the ardships, ani the privations, and the cruelties, and the misfortunes of this life, if you can only gain admission there. Through he blood of the everlasting covenant you go through those gates, or never go at all. When Rome was besieged the daughter of its ruler saw the golden bracelets on tiie left arms of the enemy, and she sent word totbem that she would betray her city and surrender it to them if they would only gie her those bracelets on their left arms. They accepted the proffer, and by night this daughter of the ruler ot the city opened one of the gates. The army entered, and keeping their promise, threw upon her their bracelets, and also their shields, and under the great weight she died. Alas, that all through the ages the same folly has been repeated, and for the trinkets and glittering treas ures of this world men ani women swing open the portals of their immortal soul for an everlasting surrender, and die under the shining submergemeut Through tho rich grace of our Lord Jesus Christ may you be enabled to imitate the example of Rachel, and Hannah, aud Abi gail, and Deborah, and Mary, and Vashti. Amen I The Wind Lifts a Train. Mr. C. W. Woodward, a traveling man hailing from New York, related an interesting story yesterday of a trip from Buffalo to this city in the storm Thurs day night. He is a guest at the Forest City house, and narrated his experience to a small circle of friends. 44After leaving Dunkirk," he said, "the wind was so severe that we proceeded along at a snail's pace. At times the force of the hurricane lifted one side of the train several inches from the track, and then it would descend to the rails again with a startling thump. We were asked by the conductor to sit on one side of the cars to balance them. A number cf Cleveland passeDgers left the train at Erie, preferring to remain in that city over night rather than to risk riding any further. It was the first time in seven teen years' traveling that I wa3 ever alarmed in a railway train." Cleveland Ltadtr. A Draft For One Cent. Professor John W.
