REV. DR. TALMAGE. i THE BROOKLYN DITINE S SUNDAY SERMON. Text: Thou, therefore, -endure hardness. II. Timothy, iL, 3. Historians are not slow to ackno wledge the merits of great military chieftains. We have the full-length portraits of the Cromwell, the IVashingtons, the Napoleons and the Well ingtons of the world. History is not written in black ink, but i with red ink of human blood. The gods ot human ambition do not drjnk from bowls made out of silvar, or gold, or precious stones, but out of the bleached skulls of the f alien.! But I am now to unro l before you a scrolj of heroes that the world has never: acknowledged; thoe who faced no guns, blew no bugle blast, conquered no critics, chained no "captives to tbeiij' chariot wheels, and yet, in the great day of eternity, will stand , higher than those whose namvjs startled tha ' nations; and 6eraph, and rapt spirit, and archangel vrA tell their deeds to a listening universe. I mean j the hero-8 of common, very-day life. - - ' : - In this roil, m the first p!a"e, Lnnd a 1 the heroes of the sick room. When Satan bad failed to overcomes Job. ha said to God: "Put forth thy hand and touch his bones and his tfesb, . and he will curse thee to thy face." hatan had found out what we have found out, that sickness is the greatest test of one's character. A man w ho 6hut in a room as fast as though it were a bastile; to be so.nervou3 you cannot endure the tap of, a child's foot; to have luxuriant fruit, which tempts the appetite of the robust and healthy, excite our loathing and disgust when it first appears on the platter; to have the rapier of pain strike through the side, or across the tejnples, like a razor, or to put the foot into a 'vice, cr throw the whole body into a blaze of fever. Yet 'there have been men and women, but more women than men, i who have cheerful ly endured this hardness. Tnrouzh years of exhausting ! rheumatisms and ex cruciating neuralgias they have gone, an 1 through bodily distresses that rape 1 the nerves, and tore the muscles, and paled the cheeks, and stooped the shoulders. By the dim light of the sick-room taper they saw oa .their wall the picture of that land where the inhabitants are never sick. Through the cnorus or tne angels, ine cancer ate away her life from week to week and day to day, and sh.6 became weaker and weaker, and every "good night" was feeb.'cr than the "good night' before yet never sad. The children looked up into her face and saw suffering trans . formed into a heavenly smile. Those w,ho , -suffered on the battle-field, amid shot and shell, were not so much heroes and heroines as those who in the field hospital and in the asjium had fevers which no ice cou-d cool and no surcerv cure. No shout of a comrade to cheer them, but numbness, and aelring, and homesickness yet willingMso surter, confident in God, ' . hopeful of heaven. Heroes 1 of rheumatism. Heroes of neuralgia. Heroes of spinal complaint. . Heroes of sick headache. . Heroes cf ' lifelong invalidism. Heroes and heroines. They shall reign forever and. ever. , Harkl I catch just one note of the eternal anthem: "There shaJl te no more pain. ' BlfSsGodfor that. In this roll I also find the heroes of toil, who do their workuncomplaiaingly. Itis compar atively easy to lead a regiment into battle when you know that the whole nation will applaud the victory; it is comparatively easy . to doctor the sick when you know that your ' skill will be appreciated by a large company of friends and relatives; it is comparatively easy to address an audience when, in too t learning eyes and the flushed cheeks, you now . -that your sentiments are adopted ; but to do sewing where . you expect that the employer will corns and . fchrofifc hia t.rtnmh rhrniitrh .lm wnrt fr cVirtw how imperfect it is, or to have the whole gar ment thrown back on you to be done over again; to build a wall and know there will be no one to say you did it well, but only a swearing employer howling across .scaffold; to work until .your eyes are dim an I your i back aches", and your heart faints, and to know that if you stop before night your , children will starve. Ah! the sword has ! not slain so many! as the needle. The great : battle-fields of our last war were not Gettysburg and i Shi!oh and South Moun- tal-r. Tko Kntn .P . U l -.4- ... . were in the arsenals, and in the shops and in the attics, where women rmde army jackets for a sixpence. They toiled on until they died. They had no funeral eulogium, but. in the name of my God, this day, 1 enroll their " names among those of whom the wor'd was j not worthy. " Heroes of the needle. Heroes of the sewing machine. Heroes of the attic. Heroes of the cellar. Heroes and heroines. Bless God for. them. In this roll I also find the heroes who hive uncomplainingly j endured domestic in jus tices. There are faien who for their toil aud anxiety have no sympathy in iheir homes. Exhausting application to business, gets them a livelihood, but! an unfrugal wife scatters it. He is fretted at from the moment he en ters the door until he comes out of it. The exasperations of business life augmented by the exasperations of domestic life. 6u?h men are laughed at, but they have a heart . "Jtuu. A IJU ilvCLV KCLU UtT1131U3 Ui 1,15 . ltut .1 il f breaking troubles, and they would have Ion? j ago gone into appalling " dissipations but for the ' graco " of' God. - Society - to-day is strewn with the wrecks of men, who under the northeast storm of domestic infelicity have been driven on the r"li Thprf, aro tnsof thonnnd of flnvnk- ards in this country to-day, made such b? their wives. That is not poetry. That is r prose. But the wrong is ganerall v in the ou- posite direction, f You wou!d not have to sio I far to find a wife whose life is a perpetual martyrdom. Something heavier than a stroke of the fist; unkind words, stacsria r -home at midnight, and constant maltreat ment which have left her only a wreck of what she was on that day when in th? midst . of a brilliant assemblage the vows were taken, and full organ played the wedding march, and the .carriage rolled away with- the benediction of the people. What was the burnine of Latimer and Ridlev at the stake compared with this ? Those men soon bee-urn nnconsc.ous in the fire, but here is a fifty .years' martydom, a fifty years' putting to death, yet uncomplaining. No bitter words when the rollicking companions at 2 o'clock in the morning pitch the husband dead drunk into the front entry. No bitter words when wiping from the swollen brow the blood .truck out in a midnight'- enaing over the : battered and bruised form of him, who, . when he ttoi . her from her father's home, promised love, ana Kindness, and protection, yet . nothing but sympathy, and prayers, and forgiveness before they are hsked for. ; No bitter words when the lamily Bible goes for rum, and the pawnbroker's shop gets the last decent dress, borne day, desiring to evoke the storv of her sorrows, you say: "Well, how are you get "tmg along now;' and rallying her trembling voice, and .quieting hjr quivering lip, she says: "Pretty well. I thank you, pretty - well." She never wilHell you. In the de lirium of her last sickness she may tell a!l the secrets of her lifetime, but she will) not tell that. Not until the books of eternity are opened on the thrones of judgment will ever be known what she has suffered. Oh! ye who are twisting a garland for the victor, put it on that pale brow. When she is dead the neighbors will beg linen to make her a shroud and she will be carried out in a plain box with no silver plate to tell her years, for she has lived a thousand years of trial and angu-h. The gamblers and swindlers who destroyed her husband will not come to the funeral. One; carnage will be enough for that funeral one carriage to carry tne orphans and the two Christian women who presided over the obsequies. Bat there is a tlash, and the opening ot a celestial door, and a shont: "Lift up your head, ye everlasting gate, and let her; coni9 "inl ' And Christ will tep forth and aay: "Come in! ye suffered with ms on earth, bs, glori3ei with me ia heaven." What is the highest throne in heaven? You say; "The throne of the Lord Gad Almighty and the Lamb." No doubt about it What is the next highest thronB in heaven While I sneak it seems to me that it will be the throne or" the drunkard's wife, if she with cheerful patien?e endured all her earthly torture.! Heroes and heroines. I find also in this roll the hei oe3 of Christian charity. We all admire the George Pea bo Jys and the James Lenoxes of the earth, who give tns and hundreds of thousands of dol a i-s to good objects. - But I am speaking thi3 morning of thosa who, out of their pinched poverty, help others of such men as those Christian mis sionaries at the West, who are liviu" on $ '50 a year that they may proclaim Chrut to tha peepla; oa ef them, writing to th Secretary ' ' ' T ' - - - ' In New York, saying: "I thank I you for that $23. Until yesterday we hav had no meat in our bouse for three months. We have suffered terribly. Sly children have no shoes this winter.' ! And of those people who have only a half loaf of bread, but give a piece' of it to others who are hungrier; and of those who " have only a scuttle of coal, but help others to fuel;; and of thos3 who have only a dollar in their pocket, and giva twenty-five cents to some body else; and of that father who Treara a shabby coat, and of that mother who wear3 a faded dress, that their children may be well apparelled You oall them paupers, or ragamuffins, or emigrants. I call them heroes and heroines. ou and I may not know where they live, or what their nama is. God knows, and they have more angels hovering over them than you and I have, and they will have a higher s?at in heaven. j They may have only a cup of cold water to give a poor traveler, or may have only picked a splinter from under the nail of a child's finger, or have put only two mites into the treasury, but the Lord knows thsm. Considering what they had, they did more than we have ever done, and their faded dress will become a white robe, and the small room will be an eternal mansion, and the' old hat will be a coronet of vic tory, and all the applause of earth and all the shouting of heaven will be drowned out when GoJ rises up to give his reward to those bumble workers in ins kingdom, and to say to them: "Well done, good and faithful servant." You have all seen or heard of the ruin of Melrose Abbey. I suppose in ,sorae respects it is the most exquisite ruin on earth. And yet, looking at it I was not so impressed you may set it down to bad taste but I was not so deeply stirred as I was at a tomb stone at the foot of that Abbey the tomb stone placed by Walter Scott over the grava of ah old man who had served him for a good many years in .his hous9. The inscription, most significant, and I defy any man to rtand there and read it without tears coming into his eyes. The epitaph: "Well done, gooi and faithful servant." Oh! when our work is over, will it be found that because of anything we have done for God, or the church, or suffering humanity, that such an inscription i3 appropriate for us? Cod grant it. ' -: Who are those who were bravest and do ssrved the greatest monument Lord CJaver house and his burly soldiers, or John Brown, the Edinburgh carrier, ani his wife?' Mr.. Atkin9, the persecuted minister of Jesus Christ in Scotland, was secreted by John Brown and his wife, and Claverhouse. rode up one day with his armed ; men and shouted in front of the house. John-Brown's little girl came out He said to her: "Well, mis3, is Mr. Atkins heres" She made no answer, for she could not betray the minister of the GospeL "Ha!" Clever- house said, "then block, are you? you are a cnip of tne oia I have something in my ! pocnet tor you. It is a nos?gay. borne peo ple call it a thumbscrew, but I call it a nose gay. And he got off his horse, ani he put jt on the little girl's hand, and began to turn it until the bones cracked, and she cried. He laid: "Don't cry, don't cry: this isn't athurrib crew; this is a nosegay." And they heard the child's cry, and the father and mother -Dame out, and Claverhouse said: "Ha! It 'seems that you three have laid your holy beads together determined to die like all the rest of your hypocritical; canting, snivelling srew; rather than give up good Mr. Atkins, pious Mr. Atkins, you wonld die. I have a telescope with me that will improve: your vision." rnd he. pulled out a pistol. 'Now," be said, "you old pragmatical, lest you hould catch cold in this cold morning of Scot land, and for the honor and safety pf the king, to say nothins of the elorv of od aind the good of our souls, I will proceed simply and in the : neatest ind most expeditious style possible tq blow vour brains out." John Brown fell upon his tnees and began to pray. "Ah!" said Claver iouse, "look out, ifyou are-going to prav; tser clear of the E-ing, the council and Richard Cameron." "0! Lord," said John Brown, "since it ssems to ba Thy will that I should leave this 'world for a world where I can loe Thee better and serve Thee more, I ?ut this poor widow woman and three help ess, fatherless children into Thy hands. We have been together , in peace a good whi'e, but now we must look forth to a better meeting in heaven, and a,i for these poor creatures, blindfolded and infatuated, that stand before me, con vert them before it b8 too late, and may thflj who have sat in judgment in this lonely place on this bjessed morning, upon me, a poor, de fenseless fellow-creature may they, 'in the Last Judgment, find that mercy which they have refused to me, Thy most unworthy, but faithful servant. . Amen." He ro33 up and said: "IsabeL the hour has come of which I spoke to you on the morning when I proposed hand and hsart to you; and are you will ing now, for the love of God, to let me die?" She put her arms around hiru and said: "The Lord gave, and the Lord hath taken away. Blessed be the nama of the Lord!'' "Stop that snivelling' said Claverhouse. "I have had enough j of : jt. Soldiers, do your work. Take aim! Fire!" and the head of Johuj Brown was scattered on the ground, Whi! the wife was gather ing up in her apron the fragments of her husband's head zathering them up for burial Claverhouse looked into her face and sa-d: "Now, my gootl woman, how do you feal about j'our bonnie man- ' "Oh!" she said, "I always thought weel of him; he has been very good to ms; I had no reason for thinking anything but weel of him, and I think better of him now.

BILLIONS IN AN OLD CART. HOW CUSTOMS RECEIPTS ABE TAKEN TO THE STJB-TEEASTJBY. A Modest Hartd-CArt, Surrounded .1 by aDetfertninecl Guard. Is Trtiu afed through Wall Street Daily. A heavy-wheeled haad-cart, -with a thickset little guiding wheel in front and pushed by two men from behind, clattered down the steps of the "William street entrance to the Custom-House at .3:15 yesterday afternoon. It was in etantly followed by four broad-shouldered laboring men, a smooth-faced old man of clerical appearance and a stern looking man -with a heavy brownish mustache, who quickly grouped them selves on both sides of it and in fror.t of it and behind. The little group, with the cart rumbling in the centre, pushed rapidly to Wall street to the noth side and then went at a quick pace up the street to Nasaau, then around to Pine street, acd was swallowed up in the rear entiance'to the Sub-Treasury Building. All along the journey from the Custom-House to the Sub-Treasury people stopped and gazed curiously at the group, as it hur ried along and tried to' get a glimpse of the cart. It was not a very handsome vehicle. The box was literally a box- iron-bound and tightly locked . with a heavy brass padlock, but those who un derstood the matter knew that it might contain anywhere from $500,000 jto $1,000,000 or more, and that this money represented Uncle Sam's daily tolls on merchandise imported from abroad, and that it was on its way to, be poured into the .Treasury, another- contribution to swell the great surplus which now lies idle there. . For over twenty years, at about the same hour on six days in every week, the cart has made the same I journey sur rounded'by its escort. How many thieves have cast envious eyes at it, how many speculators on the verge of ruin, how many dishonest bank employees with the impending crisis of discovery hanging close over them, have thought that to only have for but a few weeks o: a few days the contents of that ulv iron-bound ii--" .u, u" suicide anvbody can imagine. Doubtless many a gang, of knaves have wasted mmya long hour trying to devise some daring scheme to walay its guardians, smash the heavy box and make off with its contents. But from all thi3 nothing has ever comej For nearly a quarter of a century the pd cart has trundled over its route and not an unlawful hand has been raised against it. i Collector IHed den in his time did receive, it is true, a written warning that a plot had been hatched to attack the treasure cart. It was the work of some practical joker most likely. A little extra precaution was exercised for a time, but the plot never de . eloped. The most daring rob ber could not fail to seethe madness of such an attempt: The cart has carried its millions with never the loss of bo much as a cent. Familiar as is vehicle aud its the sight of the little fruard ifs appearance never fails to partially stop1 the hurrying Wall street throng for a moment. Those who know what it means cast a reverent eye on it. as it passes. Strangers who understand nothing of it catch sight of the .big letters 44 1 S." painted on each end of the cart, and the hurried serious ness of those J who surround it and know that it is no light matter that is ia hand. r The system by which the money is thus transferred is perfectly simple. Ia the cashier's ofiite at the Custom ; Houoe are kept four boxes,' iron-bound and made of thick oak boaid. They are two feet in length, by one foot in breadth and about a foot in depth. At each end is a massive iron handle that in itself weighs nearly two of-ithe fifteen pounds at which each box tips the beam. When the day's work is completed the money is counted and pliccdjin these boxes. It is then delivered to the custody of United States Detective T. J. Martha. Four laborers then come, and ,each one shoulders a box and; carries jit to the ground floor. Here the boxes sire placed in the strong box on the cart, which Murtha locks At the Sub-Treasury the money is again counted, and if it agrees with the Custom-House count a receipt is given. j 'The daily average of cash we carry," said the good-natured detective yesterday,-, "is about $500,000, though, of course, there are many days when we carry over a million, j When we have a good deal of coin the load is a very heavy one, and this, with the,great weight of the cart and the boxe3, makes it no easy thing to push. We always have two men pushing and four around it, besides myself and the messenger. I am the only one who is armed. We go up the north side of Wall stieet because there are more people' there-, aol-always some of- Inspector Byrne's) detectives about. I have only been heie about two years, but I suppose we have carried not far from f3o0, 0:10,000-in) .that time. What wealth that old cart has had in its bowels ! It makes a man dizzy to think of it. The surplus in the Treasury would be as a ; little chicken feed in your pocket compared to it. I never feel the least fear of an attack.- How could they get away with anything? j The street is filled with people. They would have to disable me first. There would be pistol shots before that. Then they would have to fma h in the box on - the cart, and , then they would have to lug away thje dead weight of one or more of thoie inner boxes. There would be .500 ople and a dozen policemen aujd detejuves about before they got that fir. The system is absolutely tafe so far as that is con cerned, unless a small ai my of desperate men swept down upon us. "The place where I have feared steal ing the most is r ght in the publ c room of the cashier's otrice. It is often so crowded that there s. barely standing room. Each importer fills out the blanks there at a shelf running along the wall. He then couots his cash there. Not in frequently as high as $70,000 is counted out in one pile, i I hate feared a quick, skilful sneak thief might snatch a bundle of bills, dash down the stairs there by the door, and out intoi Hanover Square. There would be a few chances cf his escaping. v JSTe:s York World. Deceitful Sponges. . Temptingly displayed along Four teenth street arc baskets of beautiful white sponges, j offered at marvelously low rates. It is probably worth the ex perience to pay the fe,W cents demanded for an attractive looking sponge inas much as one will find that those sponge3 are not the clean and airy things they seem to be. After a gear's immersion in watery hot or ( old, it will be found that the sponge still retains the consistency of a petrified and perforated rock. The !eiear white color is due to the bleaching effect of a chemical of such peculiar 'power that the bleach remains long after the sponge itself a.s disappeared. fiTeu A prize of 120 h offered for the best work oti electro-magnet ! by the Italian wcctncal roeiflty.

' A Useful Contrivance. For the beneSt of tired mortals who recline in hammocks most of the time during the wai'ra months there is a con tiivance from which, if properly made, they will derive much ease and comfort. Make a square frame of wood' and cover with any light fabric, and place a thick fringe of the same at the bottom. To the top of the frame nail three pieces of board, two at the sides and one in the center, the three meeting together, or attach cords in the same manner by which hang to a screw above the ham mock. On one side of the frame attach cords a for a kite, and have a cord long enough to put through another screw on a j.ost on a line with the side of the hammock, wh'ch. when swung, will cause the frame to swing and stir a de lightful breeze. A damp towel can be attached to the bottom, instead of the frmsrei during the intense heat tied to a screw on another post, if pulled, will swin? the hammock. If this is too much exertion let some one else ,pull it. This 1 fame, with more adornment, can be utilized as a fly fan.

One of the most prominent medical writers of the day, in speaking cf the prevalence of rheumatic troubles among the aged, says : " The various pains, rheu matic or other, which old people often complain of, and which materially disturb their comfort, result from disordered nerves." There it is in a nutshell the medicine for old people must be a nerve tonic. Old people are beset with constipation, flatulency, drowsiness, diar rhoea, indigestion, rheumatism, neuralgia. These diseases are of nervous origin. , Paine's ! Celery Compound, that great I nerve tonic, is almost a specific in these I disorders, and by its regulating influence on the liver,. bowelsr and kidney.s, re moves the disorders peculiar to old age. Old people find it stimulating to the vital powers, productive cf appetite, and a promoter of digestion. Sold by druggists. $100. Six for $5.00.
