' 3 f V V DR. TALMAGES SERMON. SUNDAY'S DISCOURSE BY THE NOTED DIVINE. Subject: "The Gallows For Hainan" from the Life ami Death of ThU Pemlau Courtier Living Lessons of Warning and Instruction Are Drawn. Test: "So they hanged Haman on the, gallows that he had prepared tor Morde cal." Esther vil., 16. x Here Is an Oriential courtier, about the most offensive man In Hebrew history, Haman by name. He plotted for the de struction of the Israelitish nation, and I wonder not that in some of the Hebrew synagogues to this day when Hainan's name is mentioned, the congregation clench their flsts and stamp their feet and cry, "Let his name be blotted outl" Ha man was Prime Minister in the magnificent court of Persia. Thoroughly appreciative of the honor conferred, he expects every body that he passes to be obsequious. Coming in one day at the gate of the pal ace, the servants drop their heads In honor of his office; but a Hebrew, named Morde cal, gazes upon the passing dignitary without bending his head or taking off his hat. He was a good man, and would not have been negligent in the ordinary court esies of life, but he felt no respect either for Haman or the nation from which he had come. So he could not be hypocriti cal; . and while others made Oriental salaam, getting clear down before this Frime Minister when he passed, Mordecal, the Hebrew, relaxed not a muscle of his neck, and kept his chin clear up. Because of that affront Haman gets a decree from Ahasuerus, the dastardly, king, for the massacre of all the Israelites, and that, of course, will Include Mordecal To mate a long story short, through Queen Esther this whole plot was revealed to her husband, Ahasuerus. One night Ahasuerus,- who was afflicted with in somnia, in his sleepless hours calls for his secretary to read him a few passages of Persian history, and so while away the night. la the book read that night to the king an account was given of a conspi racy, from which Mordecal, the Hebrew, had saved the king's life and for which kindness Mordecal had never received any reward. Haman, who had been Axing up a nice gallows to hang Mordecai on, was walking outside the door of the king's sleeping apartment and was called in. The king told him that he had Just had read to him the account of some one who had saved his, the king's life, and he asked what reward ought to be given to such a one. Self-conceited Human, supposing that he himself was to get the honor, and not imagining for a moment that the deliv erer of the king's life was Mordecai, says: "Why, your majesty ought to make a tri umph for him, and put n crown on him and set him on a splendid horse, high-stepping and full-blooded, and then have one of your princes lead the horse through the streets, crying, 'Bow the knee, here comes a man who has saved the king's life!' " Then said Ahasuerus in severe tones to Haman: "I know all about yourscoun drelism. Now you go out and make a triumph for Mordecal, the Hebrew, whom you hate. Put the best saddle on the finest horse, and you, the prince, hold the stirrup while Mordecal gets on, and then lead his horse through the street. Make haste!" What a spectacle! A comedy and tragedy at one and the same time. There they go! Mordeoal, who had been despised, now starred and robed, in the stirrups. Hainan, the chancellor, afoot, holding the pranc ing, rearing, champing stallion. Mordecai bends his neck at last, but it is to look down at the degraded Prime Minister walking beneath him. Huzza for Mor decai! Alas for Haman! But what a pity to have the gallows, recently built, en tirely wasted! It is fifty cubits high, and built with care. And Haman had erected it for Mordecai, by whose' stirrups he now walks as groom. Stranger and more start ling than any romance, there go up the step3 of the scaffolding, side by side, the hangman and Haman the ex-chancellor. "So they hanged Haman on the gallows that he had prepared for Mordecai." Although so many years have passed since cowardlv Ahasuerus reicned. and th I beautiful Esther answered to his whims, ana Persia perished, yet from the life and death of Haman we may draw living les sons of warning and instruction. And first, we come to the practical suggestion that, when the heart is wrong, things very insignificant will destroy our comfort. Who would have thought that a great Prime Minister, admired and applauded by millions of Persians, would have been so nettled and harassed by anything trivial? What more could the great dignitary have wanted than bis chariots and attendants, and palaces and banquets? If affluence of circumstances can make a man contented and happy, surely Haman should have been contented and happy. No; Morde cai's refusal of a bow takes the glitter from the gold, and the richness from the pur ple, and the speed from the chariots. With a heart puffed up with every inflation of vanity and revenge, it was impossible for him to be happy. The silence of Mordecai at the gate was louder than the braying of trumpets in the palace. Tbus shall it al ways be If the heart Is not right. Circum stances the most trivial will disturb the spirit. It is not the great calamities of life that create the most worriment. I have seen men, felled by repeated blows of misfor tune, arising from the dust, never despond ing. But the most of the disauiet which men suffer is from insignificant causes; as a lion attacked by some beast of prey turns easily around and slays him, yet runs roar ing through the forests'at the alighting on his brawny neck of a few insects. You meet some great loss in business with com parative composure; but you can think of petty trickeries Inflicted upon you, which arouse all your capacity for wrath, and re main in your heart an unbearable annoy ance. If you look back upon your life, you will find that the most of the vexations and disturbances of spirit, which you felt, were produced by circumstances that were not worthy of notice. If you want ' to be happy, you must not care for trifles. Do not be too minute in your Inspection of the treatment you receive from others. Who cares whether Mordecui bows when you pass, or stands erect and stiff as a cedar? That woodman would not make much clearing in the forest who should stop to bind up every little bruise and scratch he received in the thicket; nor will that man accomplish much for the world or the church who is too watchful and apprecia tive of petty annoyances. There are mnl titudes of people in the world constantly harrowed because they pass their lives not In searching out those thing3 which are at tractive and deserving, but in spying out with all their powers of vision to see whether they cannot find a Mordecai. j Again: I learn from the life of the man under our notice that worldly vanity and sin are very anxious to have piety Dow be fore them. Haman was a fair emblem! of entire worldliness, and Mordecai the repre sentative of unflinching godliness. Such were the usuagea of society in (ancient times that, had this Israelite bo wet to the Frime Sinister, It wouia nav oepij an ac knowledgment of respect for his c a.iractr and nation. Mordecai vfouid, therefora, Lave sinned against bis jreligioi had -'he made any obeisance or dfroppwdf" his chin half an inch before Hamal Whn, there fore, proud Haman atte;ppt"4 to com pel an homage which was not felt, In only did what the world ever slnctAhr.s trfed to ilo, when It would force our' holy reliiou iu any way to yield to its dictates . Darnel, If he hud been a man tt religious com promises, would never htvo hf- a thrown Into the den of lions. Jlf might iavpn;;ula lome arrangement wij-'t KiM Durlus whereby he could hnve rlaineaf part of his form of religion withoutnakiD. lnmsHf go completely obnoxious o t.'i idolaters. Paul fijight have retained the -or of hU rulers and escaped martyrdom It Be ba only been willing to mix up his Chrlstlai faith with a few errors. His unbending Christian character was taken, as an in suit. . " Fagot and raek and halter in all agei have been only the different ways in whloH the world has demanded obeisance. It wai once, away up on the top of the Temple, thai Satan commanded the Holy One of Naza reth to kneel before him. But it is not now so much on the top of churches as down in the aisle and the pew and the pul pit that Satan tempts the espousers of the Christian faith to kjieel before him. Why was it that the Platonic philosophers of early times, as well as Toland, Spinoza ami Bolingbroke of later days, were so madlf pposed to Christianity? Certainly not be. use it favored immoralities, or arrestel civilization, or dwarfed the intellect. The genuine reason, whether admitted or not, was because the religion of Christ paid no respect to their intellectual vanities. Blount and Boyle, and the hosts of infidels hatched out by the vile reign of Charles the Second, as reptiles crawl out of a marsh of slime, could not keep their patience, be cause, as tney passed along, there were sit ting in the gate of the church such men as Matthew and Mark, and Luke, and John who would not bend an inch in respect to their philosophies. Satan told our first parents that they would become as gods if they would only reach up and take a taste of the fruit. They tried it and failed, but their descend ants are not yet satisfied with the experi ment. We have now many desiring to be as gods, reaching up after yet another apple. Eeason, scornful of God's Word, may foam and strut with the proud wrath of a Haman, and attempt to compel the homage of the good, but in the presence of men and angels it shall be confounded. "God shall smite thee, thou whited wall." When science began to make Its brilliant discoveries there were great facts brought to light that seemed to overthrow the truth of the Bible. The archaeologist with his crowbar, and the geologist with his hammer, and the chemist with his bat teries, charged upon .the Bible. Moses's account of the creation seemed denied by the very structure of the earth. The astronomer wheeled around his telescope until the heavenly bodies seemed to mar shal themselves against the Bible as the stars In their courses fought against Sisera. Observatories and universities rejoloed at what they considered the extinction of Christianity. They gathered new courage at what thev considered past victory, and pressed on their conquest into the kingdom of nature until, alas for them! they dis covered too much. God's Word had only been lying in ambush that, In some un guarded moment, with a sudden bound, it might tear infidelity to pieces. It was as when Joshua attacked the city of Ai. He selected thirty thousand men, and concealed most of tnem; then with a few men he assailed the city, which poured out its numbers and strength upon Joshua's little band. According to previ ous plan, they fell back In seeming defeat, but, after all the proud inhabitants of the city had been brought out of their homes, and had joined, in the pursuit of Joshua, suddenly that brave man ' halted in his flight, and with his spear pointing toward the city, thirty thousand men bounded from the thickets as panthers spring to their prey, and the pursuers were dashed to pieces, while the hosts of Joshua pressed up to "the city, and with their lighted torches tossed it into flame. Thu3 it was that the discoveries of science seemed to give temporary victory against God and the Bible, and for a while the church acted as if she were on a retreat; but when ail t&e opposers of God and truth had joined In the pursuit, and were sure of the field, Christ gave the signal to His church, and turning, they drove back their foes in shame. There was found to be no an tagonism between nature and revelation. The universe and the Bible were found to be the work of the same hand, two strokes of the same pen, their authorship the same God. Again: Learn the lesson that pride goeth before a fall. Was any man ever so far up as Haman, who tumbled so far down? Yes, on a smaller scale every day the world sees the same thing. Against their very ad vantages men trip into destruction. When God humbles proud men.it is usually at the moment of their greatest arrogancy. If there be a man in your community greatly puffed up with worldly success, you have but to stand a little while and you will see Him come down. You say, I wonder that God allows that man to go on riding over others heads and making great assump tions of power. There is no wonder about it. Haman has not yet got to the top. Pride is a commander, well plumed and caparisoned, but it leads forth a dark and frowning host. We have the best of author ity for saying that "Pride goeth before de struction and a haughty spirit before a fall." The arrows from the Almighty's quiver are apt to strike a man when on the wing. Goliath shakes his great spear in deftance, but the small stones from the brook Elah made him stagger and fall like an ox under the butcher's bludgeon. He who is down cannot fall. Vessels scud ding under bare poles do not feel the force of the storm, but those with all sails set capsize at the sudden descent of the temp est. Again: this Oriental tale reminds us of the fact. that wrongs we prepare for others return upon ourselves. The gallows that Haman built for Mordecal became the Prime Minister's strangulation. Robe spierre, who sent so many to the guillo tine, had his own head chopped off by the horrid instrument. The evil you practice on others will recoil upon your own pate. Slanders come home. Oppressions come home. Cruelties come home. You will yet be a lackey walking beside the very charger on which you expected to ride others down. When Charffes the First, who had destroyed Strafford, was about to be beheaded, he said, "I basely ratified an unjust sentence, and the similar injustice I am now to undergo is a sensible retribu tion for the punishment I inflicted on an Innocent man." Lord Jeffries, after in carcerating many innocent and good peo ple in London Tower, was himself impris oned in the same place, where the shade? of those whom he had maltreated seemed to haunt him, so that he kept crying to his attendants: "Keep them off, gentlemen, for God's sake, keep them off!" The chick ens had come home to roost. The body ol Bradshaw, the English judge, who had been ruthless and cruel in his decisions was taken from his splendid tomb in West minster Abbey, and at Tyburn hung on a gallows from morninjr until nicht in the presence of jeering multitudes. Hainan's gallows came a little late; but it came Opportunities fly in a straight line, nnd just touch us as they pass from eternity to etern'iy, but the wrongs we do others fly In ,a circle, and however the circle may widen out, they are sure to come back tc the point from which they started. There are guns that kick! Furthermore, let the story of Haman teach us how quickly turns the wheel of fortune. One day, excepting the king, Haman was the mightiest man in Tersia; but the next day, a lackey. Ho we ;o up, and so we come down. You seldom find any man twenty years in the same circum stances. Of those who, in political life twenty years a;ro 'were most prominent, how few remain in conspicuity. Political j parties make certain men do tneir naru work, and then, after using them as hacks, turn them out on the common.? to die. Every four years there Is a complete revo lution, and about five thousand men who ought certainly to be. the next President are shamefully disappointed; while some, who this day are obscure and poverty stricken, will ride upon the gboulders of the people, and take their turn nt admira tion and the spoils of office. Oh, how quickly the wheels turn! Ballot-boxes are the steps on which men eome down quite ns often as they go up. Of those who were long ago successful in the accumulation of property, how few have not met with re verses! while many of those who then were gtraitened in circumstances now hold the bonds and Laak Leys ol the nation. Of all nckie things in the world, fortune is the most fickle. ' .. Again: this Hainan's history shows us tnat -outward possessions and clroutu stances cannot make a man happy. While yet fully vested in authority and the chief adviser of the Persian monarch, and every thins that enuinase and pomo and snlen dor of residence oquld do were his, he is an object lesson of wretchedness. There are to-day more acntng sorrows under crowns of royalty than under the ragged caps ot the houseless. Much of the world s affluence and gaiety is only misery In colors. Many a woman seated in the street at her apple-stand is happier than the great bank ers. The mountains of worldly honor are covered with perpetual snow. Tamerlane conquered half the world, but could not subdue his own fears. Ahab goes to bed, sick, because Naboth will not sell him his vineyard. Herod is in agony because a lit tle child is born down in Bethlehem. Great Felix trembles because a poor minister will preach rigbteousness, temperance and judgment to come. From the time of Louis the Twelfth to Louis the Eighteenth was there a straw-bottomed chair in France that did not sit more solidly than the great throne on which the French kings reigned? Were I called to sketch misery in Its worst form, I would not go up the dark alley of the poor, but up the highway over which prancing Bucephall strike the sparks with their hoofs and between statu ary and parks of stalking deer. Wretch edness is more bitter when swallowed from gemmed goblets than from earthen pitcher or pewter mug. If there are young peo ple here who are looking for this posi tion and that circumstance, thinking that worldly success will bring peace to the soul, let them shatter the delusion. It is not what we get, it Is what we are. Dan iel among the lions is happier than King Darius on his throne. And when life is closing, brilliancy of worldly surroundings will be no solace. Death is blind, and sees no difference between a king and his clown, between the Nazarene and the Athenian, between a bookless hut and a national library. TorJecaf will only have to wait for his day of triumph. It took all the preceding trials to make a proper background for his after successes. The scaffold built for him makes all the more imposing and pictur esque the horse into whose long white mane he twisted his fingers at the mount ing. You -want at least two misfortunes, hard as flint, to strike Are. Heavy and long continued snows In the winter are signs of good crops next summer. So. many nave yielded wonderMl harvests of benevolence, and energy because they were a long while snowed under. We must have a good many hard falls before we learn to walk straight. It is in the black anvil of trouble that men hammer out their for tunes. Sorrows take up men on their shoulders snd enthrone them. Tonics are nearly always bitter. Men, like fruit trees, are barren unless trimmed with sharp knives. They are like wheat all the bet ter for the flailing. It required the prison darkness and chill to make John Bunyan dream. It took Delaware ice and cold feet at Valley Forge, and the whizz of bul lets, to make a Washington. Paul, when he climbed up on the beach at Melita, shiver inir in his wet clothes, was more of a Chris tian than when the ship struck the break-- ers. Prescott, the historian, saw Better without his eyes than he could ever have with them. Mordecai, despised at the gate, is only predecessor of Mordecai, grandly mountsd- Women In Business. From the Free Press, Detroit, Mich. A prominent business man recently ex pressed the opinion that there Is one thing that will prevent women from completely filling man's place in the business world--they can't be depended upon because they are sick too often. This Is refuted, by Mrs. C. W. Mansfield, a business woman of 53 Farrar St., Detroit, Mich., who says: "A complication of female aliments kept me awake nights and wore me out. I could get no relief from medicine and hope was slipping away from me. A young lady in my employ gave me a box of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People. I took then, and was able to rest at night for the first time in months. I bought more andtook them and they cured me as they also cured several other people to my knowledge. I think that if you should ask any of the drug gists of Detroit, who are the best buyers of Dr. Williams Pink Pills they would say the young women. These plils certainly build up the nervous system and many a young woman owes her life to them. "As a business woman I am pleased to recommend them as they did more for me than any physician and I can give Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People credit for my general good health to-day." Suddenly Prostrated, No discovery of modern times has done so much to enable women to take their proper place in life by safe-guarding their health as Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People. Acting directly on the blood and nerv as, invigorating the body, regulating the functions, they restore the strength and health to the exhausted woman when every effort of the physician proves una vailing. For the growing girl they are of the greatest benefit, for the mother Indispensa ble, for every woman invaluable. For paralysis, locomotor ataxia, and other diseases long supposed incurable, these pills have proved their efficacy in thousands of cases.

Speaking of yellow, the sunflower, in flower language, is symbolical of false riches, for the following reasons: The Spaniards, when they invaded Peru, beheld gold on every hand, and when they saw the country covered with golden-colored flowers they im agined they, too, must be pure gold not the only case where appearances have been deceitful. But by a per verse contradiction of this story the Spaniards themselves adopt this flower as a symbol of faith, and one of their poets says; "Real faith is like the sun's fair 'flowers, which, 'midst the clouds that shroud it, and the winds that wave it to and fro, and all the change of air, and earth, and sky, doth rear its head and looketh up, still steadfast, to its God. " Boston1 Traveler. Electricity Under Water. Tha use of wire cables under water for conducting electric currents was resorted to as early as 1812 by Baron Schilling for exploding mines in the Neva. It is also a well-authenticated fact that Colonel Parsley used the same method to blow up the wreck o? the Royal George in 1838, in the dock at Spithead. It is not unlikely that the first idea of an - Atlantic cable sprang from these early successes with the current under water.
