The Kabo corset, besides being tough, so tough in its bones that they can't be broken or kinked or rolled up or slipped or shifted, has flexible loop eyelets, instead of metal ones which cut the corset laces.

In no respect will the Kabo corset fail in a year, unless the steels break. No way has yet been disco\ered to make unbreakable corset steels*

If the Kabo "bones" give out in a year, go to the store where you bought your corset and get your money back.

If, after wearing the Kabo two or three weeks, you don like it, take it back and get your money.

There's a primer on Corsets for you at the store

THE HANGING OF 1IAMAX

SERMON DE WIT"

PREACHED BY REV. T. TALMAGE, D. D., MAY 25.

A l'on'Tf"! Discourse Presented In Full. Queuu Kstln-r'a Knowledge of Hideous l'lot KeveliU'i! to the King—Mordectti's 1)11} of Triumph.

BROOKLYN, May 25.—In the Brooklyn Academy of Music this morning, after the preliminary exercises nhlch iu this congregation are considered as import-ant as any of the others, Dr. Talmage preached from the text, "So they hanged Hainan on the gallows that he had prepared for Mordocai."—Esther vii, 10. Following is his sermon ill full:

Hero is an oriental courtier, about tho most offensive man in Hebrew history, Hamau by name, lie plotted for the destruction'of tho lsraclitisli nation, and I wonder not that in some of the Hebrew synagogues to this day, when Hainan's name is mentioned, the congregation clinch their fists, and stamp their feet ami try: lx't his name be blotted outl" Hainan was prime minister in tho magnificent court of Persia. Thoroughly appreciative of the honor conferred he expects everyiRxlyitliat he passes to be obsequious. Coining in one day at the gate of the palace tho servants drop their heads in honor of his oflice but a Hebrew, named Mordecai, gazes upon the passing dignitary without bending his head or taking otT his hat. He was a good man, and would not liavo been negligent of the ordinary courtesies of life, but he felt no respect either for Hainan or tho nation from which ho had come. But he could not be hypocritical and while others made orieutal salaam, getting clear down before this prime minister when ho passed, Mordecai, the Hebrew, relaxed not a muscle of his neck, and kept his chin clear up. Because of that affront Hainan gets a decree from Ahasuerus, the dastardly king, for the massacre of all the Israelites, and that, of course, will include Mordecai.

THE PLOT REVEALED.

To make a long story short, through Queen Esther this whole plot was revealed to her husband, Ahasuerus. Oue night Ahasuerus, who was afllicted with insomnia, In his sleepless hours calls for his secretary to read to him a few passages of Persian history, and so while away the night. In the book*ead that night to the king an account was giveu of a conspiracy, from which Mordecai, the Hebrew, had saved the king's life, and for which kindness Mordecai had never received any reward. Haman, who had been flxiug up a nice gallows to hang Mordecai on, was walking outside the dtwr 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 ho asked what reward ought to lie given to such a ono. Self conceited Hainan, supposing that he himself was to get the honor, and not Imagining for a moment that tho deliverer of the king's life was Mordecai, says: "Why, your majesty ought to make a triumph for him, and put a crown oil him, and set him on a splendid horse, High stepping and full blooded, and then have ono of your princes lend 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 your scoundrellsm. Xow you go out anil make a triumph for Mordecai, the Hebrew, whom you hate. Put the lost saddle on the finest horso, and yoti, the prince, hold the stirrup while Mordecai gets on, and then lead his horse through the street. Make hastel"

A COMKDV ANI) A TRAGEDY. What .".spectacle: Acomedy and tragedy at one and the same time. There they gol Mordeaii, who had been despised, now starred and rolled, in the stirrups. Hainan, the chancellor, afoot, holdlug the prancing, 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 Mordecai! Alas for Haman! But what a pity to have the gallows recently built entirely wastedl It is fifty cubies high, aud built with care. And Ilanian hail erected it for Mordecai, by whose stirrups lie now walks as groom. Stranger aud more startling than any romance, there go up the steps of the scaffolding, side by side, the hangman and Haman the ex-chancellor. "So they hanged Haman on the gallows that he had prepared fur Mordecai.

Although so many years have passed since cowardly Ahasuerus reigned, and the beautiful Hst her answered to his whims, and Persia perished, yet from the life and death of iI a 111 a 11 wo may draw living lessons 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 tlio great dignitary havo wanted than his chariots and attendants, and palaces and banquets? If aflluonco of circumstances can make a man contented and happy, surely Haman should have been contented and happy. Xo Mordecai's refusal of a bow takes the glitter from the gold, and the richness from the purple, and the sjieed from the chariots. With a heart pulled up with every inflation of vanity and revenge, it was impossible for him to be happy. The silence of Mordecai at tho gate was louder than the braying of trumpets in the palace. Thus shall it always bo if the heart is not right. Circumstances tho most trivial will disturb £he spirit.

SOME LIVING LESSONS.

It is not the great calamities of life that create the most worrlmcnt. I have seen men, f,.lled by repeated blowsof misfortune, arising from the dust, never desponding. But the most of the disquiet which men Buffer is from insignificant causes, as lion attacked by some beast of prey turns easily around and slays him, yet runs roaring through the forest at the alighting ou his brawny neck of a few insects. You meet some great loss in business with comparative composure, but you can think of petty trickeries inflicted upon you which rouse all your capacity for wrath, aud remain in your heart an unbearable annoy ance. If you look back upon your ltfe"you will find that the most of the vexations and disturbances of spirit which you felt wero produced by circumstances that wero not worthy of notice. If you want to bo happy you must not care for trifles. Do not be too minute in your Inspection of tho treatment you receive from others. Who cares whether Mordecai bows when you pass, or stands erect and stiff as a cedarf That woodman won

Id not make much clearlug in

the forest who should stop to bind up every little bruise and scratoh he received In the thicket nor will that man accomplish much for the wcrld or the church who is too watchful and appreciative of petty annoyances. There aro multitudes of people In the world constantly harrowed because they pans their lives, not in searching out those things which are atod, ho said, "I basely ratified an unjust senUince, and the similar injustice I am now to undergo Is a sensible retribution for tho punishment I inflicted on an innocent man.11 Ixrd Jeffries, after Incarcerating many Innocent and good people In Loudon tower, was himself imprisoned in tho same place, where the shades of those whom ho had maltreated seemed to haunt him so that ho kept crying to his attendants:

"Keep them off, Koutlomen! for God'esake, I

until night in the presence of jeering inu titudes. llaman's gallows caine a little !ate, but they came. Opportunities fly in a straight line, and just touch us as they pass from eternity to eternity, but the wrongs we do others fly iu a circlo, aud however tho circle may widen out, they are sure to come hack to the jioint from which they started. Theru are guns that kick!

THE KEV ERSES OF FORTUNE. Furthermore, let tho story of Haman teach us how quickly turns tho wheol of fortune. One day, excepting the king, Hamau was the mightiest man in Persia but the next day, a lackey. So wo go up, and so we come down. You seldoi: nd any man twenty years in tho same circumstances. Of those who, In political life twenty years ago, were tho most prominent, how few remain iu couspicuity. Political parties make certain mon do their hard work, and then, after using them as hacks, turn them out on the commons to die. Every four years there is a complete revolution, and about live thousand men who ougli*' certainly to be the next president aro shamefully disappointed: while some, who this day are obscuro and poverty stricken, will ride upon tlio shoulders of the people, utiil take t-lieir turn at admiration and the s]oils of oflice. Oh, how ulckly the wheel turns! Ballot boxes aro :ie steps on which men come down as often as they go up. Of those who were long ago successful iu tho accumulation of property, how fow have not met with reverses! while many of those who then wore straitened in circumstances now hold the bonds and tho bank keys oft he nation. Of all tickle things iu the world, fortune is the most flckle. Every day she changes her mind, and woe to the man who puts any confidence In what she promises or proposes! She cheers when you go up. and she laughs when you come down. Oh, trust not a moment your heart's affections to this changeful lyorld! Anchor your soul in God. From Christ's companionship gather your satisfaction. Then, come sorrow or gladness, success or defeat, riches or poverty, houor or disgrace, health or sickness, llfo or death, time or eternity, all are yours, and ye aro Christ's, and Christ is God's.

R1CI1E3 DO NOT BRING HAPPINESS. Again: this Hamau's history shows u« that outward possessions and circumstances cannot make a man happy. While yot fully vested In authority anil the chief adviser of the Persian monarch, and everything that equipage and pomp and splendor of residence could do were his, ho is an object lesson of wretchedness. There are today moro aching sorrows under crowns of royalty than under tho ragged caps of the houseless. Much of tho world's affluence and gaycty is only misery in colors. Many woman seated in the street at her apple Htand is happier than the great bankers. Tho mountains of worldly honor are covcovered with perpetual snow. Tamerlane conquered half the world, but could not subdue his own feara. Ahub goes to bed, sick, because Naboth will not sell him his vineyard. Herod is In agony because a little child is born down In Bethlehem. Great Felix trembles because a poor minister will preach rlghteousiiess.temperance and judgment to come. From the time of Louis XII to Louis XVIII was there a straw bottomed chair iu France that did not set more solidity 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 pranoing Bucephall strike the sparks with their hoofs and between statu ary and parks of stalkiug deer. Wretched ness is more bitter when swallowed from gemmed goblet than from earthen pitcher or pewter mug. If there aro young people hero who are looking for this position and that circumstance, thinking that worldly success will bring pcaco of the soul, let them shatter the delusion. It is not what we get, it is what we ore. Daniel amoug the lions is happier that Nebuchadnezzar on his throne. Anil when life is closing, brilliancy of worldly surroundings will bo uo sobicc. Death is blind, and sees no difference between the king und his clown, between the Xuzarene aud the Athenian between a bookless hut aud a national library. The frivolities of life cannot,with tlielr giddy laugh, echoing from heart to heart, entirely drown the voice of tromondous conscience which says: "I am immortal. The stars shall die, but I am immortal. One wave of eternity shall drown tlmo in its ilepths, but I am Immortal. Tho earth shall have a shroud of flame and tho heavens flee at the glanco of the Lord, but I am immortal. From all the heights and depths of my nature rings down, and rings tip, und rings out the word 'Immortal.' A good conscience, aud assurance of life eternal through the I^ird Jesun Christ a.re the only securities.

THIS LIFE A VISION.

The soul's happiness is too largo a craft to sail up the stream of worldly pleasure. AM Bhip carpenters say, it draws too much water. This earth is a bubble, and It will burst. This life is a vision, and it will soon iss away. Timel It is only a ripple, and breaketh against the throne of judgment. Our days! They fly swifter than a shuttle, weaving for us a rotio of triumph or a garment of shamo. Begin your life with religion and for its greatest trial

will lie reiuly. Every day will lie a tri umpli, and death will boonly a king's.-,ur. ant calling you to a royal banquet.

In olden time the man who wius to re ceive the honors of knighthood was required to Bpenil the previous night fully armed, and with shield aud lance to walk up and down among the tombs of the dead. Through all the hours of that night his steady step was heard, and when morning dawned, amid grand parade ami the sound of cornets the honors of knighthood were bestowed. Thus it shall be with the good man's soul in the uight before heaven. Fully armed with shield anil sword and helmet, he shall watch and wait until the darkness fly and the morning break, .nd amid the sound of celestial harpiugs the soul shall take the honors of heaven ainid the innumerable throng with robes snowy white streaming over seas of sapphire.

MOItDECAl'S TRIUMPH COMING. Mitrdecai will only havo to wait for his day of triumph, it took all the preceding trials to make a projier background for his after successes. The scaffold built for him makes all the more imposing and picturesque the horse Into whoso long white mane he twisted Ills fingers at the mounting. You want at legist two misfortunes, hard as flint, to strike fire. Heavy ami long continued snows iu tho winter are signs of good crops next summer. So manj tractive and deserving, but in spying out with all their powers of vision to see whether they cannot find a Mordecai.

NEVER YIELD TO SIN.

Again: I learn from the life of the man under our notice that worldly vanity and sin are very anxious to have piety bow before them. Haman was a fair emblem of entire worlilliness, and Mordecai tho representative of unflinching godliness. Such wero the usages of society 111 ancient times that,, hod this Israelite bowed to the prime minister, it would have been an acknowledgment of respect for his character and nation. Mordecai would, therefore, have sinned against his religion hail he made any obeisauco or dropped his chin half an inch In-fore Ilaman. When, therefore, proud Haman attempted to compel an liomago which was not felt, he only did what the world ever since lias tried to do, when it would force our holy religion in

yi'-ld to Its dictates. Daniel, if

the deu of lions. He might havu mado some arrangement with King Darius whereby he could have retained part of his form of religion without making himself so completely obnoxious to tho idolaters. Paul might havo retained tho favor of his rulers and escaped martyrdom li he had only been willing to mix up his Christian faith with a few errors. HIb unbending

Christian character was taken as an insult. Fagot aud rack and halter, in all ages have been only the different ways in which tho world has demanded obeisance. It was once, away up on tho top of tho temple, that Satan commanded tho Holy One of Nazareth 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 pulpit that Satan tempts tho espousors of tho Christian faith to kneel before him. Why was it that tho Platonic philosophers of early times, as well as Toland, Spinoza and Bollugbroke of later days, wero so madly opiKised to Christianity Certainly not because it favored immoralities, or arrested civilization, or dwarfed the intellect. Tho genuine reiison, whether admitted or not, was bccauso tho religion of Christ paid uo respect to their intellectual van,ties. Blount and Boyle and tho host of infidels hatched out by the vile reign of Charles II, as reptiles crawl out of a marsh of slime, could not keep their patience beciwise, as they passed along, there were sitting in tho gate of the church such men as Matthew and Mark, and Luke, and John, who would not- lieiul an inch in respect to tlieir philosophies.

SATAN'S WILES.

Satan told our first parents that they would become as gods if they would only reach up anil tukq a taste of the fruit. They tried it aud failed, but their descendants aro not yet satisfied with tho experiment. We havo now many desiring to be as gods, reaching up after yet another apple. Human reason, scornful of God's word, may foam and strut with the proud wrath of a Hainan, and attempt to compel tho homage of the good, but in tho presence of men aud angels it shall bo confounded.

God shall smite thee, thou whlted wall." When science began to make Its brilliant discoveries there were great facts brought to light that seemed to overthrow the truth of tho Bible. The archioologist with his crowbar, and tho geologist with his hammer, and tho chemist with his batteries charged upon the Bible. Moses' account of the creation seemed denied by the very structure of the earth. Tho astronomer wheeled round his telescope until tho heavenly bodies seemed to marshal themselves against tho Bible, as the stars in their courses fought ogalnst Sisera. Observatories and universities rejoiced at what they considered the extinction of Christianity. They gathered new courage at what they considered past victory, and pressed ou their couquest into the kingdom of nature, until, alas for them! they discovered too much. God's word had only been lying in ambush that, in some unguarded moment. with a sudden bound, it might tear infidelity to pieces.

It was when Joshua attacked the city of Al. He selected thirty thousand men, and concealed most of them then with a fow men ho assailed the city, which poured out its numbers and strength upon Joshua's little band. According to previous plan, they fell back In seeming defeat, but, after all tho 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 tho city, thirty thousand men bounded from the thickets as panthers spring to their prey, and tho pursuers were dashed to pieces, while the hosts of Joshua pressed up to tho city, and with their lighted torches tossed it into flame. Thus it was that the discoveries of science seemed to give temporary victory against God and tho Bible, and for a while the church acted as if she wero ou a retreat but, when all the 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 lie no antagonism 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 auticislii]) the same God. l'lilllE GOES UEFORE A FALL.

Again: I.earn the lesson that pride goes before a fall. Was any man ever so far up as Hainan, who tumbled so fur down!' Yes, on a smaller scale every day the world sees the same thing. Against their very advantages iu»n trip into destruction. When God humbles proud mon, It is usually at the moment of their greatest arroguncy. If thero bo a lnun iu your community greatly puffed un 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 ou riding over others' heads and making great assumptions of power. Thero is no wonder about it. Haman has not yet got to tho top. Pride Is a commander, well plumed and caparisoned, hut it leads forth a dark and frown lug host. We have tho best of authority for saying that "Pride gooth before destruction, aud a haughty spirit before a fall." Tho arrows from the Almighty's quiver are apt to strike a man when ou the wing. Goliath shakes his great spear in defiance, but the small stones from the brook Elah make him stagger and fall tike an ox under the butcher's bludgeon. Ho who is down cannot, fa!!. Vessels souddlng under bare poles not feel tho force of tho storm, but those with all sails set capsize at the sudden descent t'i the tempest. (H it SINS ON OCR HEADS.

Again: This oriental tale reminds us of the fact that wrongs we prepare for others return upon ourselves. Tlfb gallows that Hainan built for Mordecai becamo the prime minister's strangulation. Robespierre, who sent so many to the guillotine, had his own head chopped off by that horrid instrument. Tho evil you practice on others will iveoil upon your own pato. Slanders come home. Oppressions come home. iiieltieii come home. You will yet lie a lackey walking beside tho very charger on which you expected to ride others down. When Charles I, who had destroyed Strafford, was about to bo beheadhr.vo yielded wonderful harvests of benevolence and energy lxicause they wero a long while snowed under. We must have a good many bard falls before wo learn to walk stright. It is on the black anvil of trouble that men hammer out their fortunes. Sorrows take up men on their shoulders and enthrone them. Tonics are nearly always bitter. Men, like fruit trees, aro barren, unless trimmed with sharp knives. They are liko wheat—all the bet tor for the flailing. It required tho prison darkness and chill to make John Bunyan dream. It took Delaware Ice and cold feet at Valley Forge, and the whizz of ballets, to make a Washington. Paul, when ho cllmlxHl up on the beach of Melita, shivering in his wet clothes, was more of a Christian than when the ship struck the breakers. Prescott, the historian, saw better without his eyes than ho could ever havo seen with them. Mordecai, despised at tho gate, is only predecessor of Mordecai grandly mounted.
