Tho costumes of thecountriesarodiffereut, and in the same country may change, but there i* a divinely ordered dissimilarity which must be torever observed. Anv divergence from this is administrative of vieo and runs against the keen thrust of the text, whi'-'h savs: "Die woman shall not wear that- which jorUiineth unto man, neither shall a man put on a woman's garment for aii that do so are abomination unto the Lord thv God."

Manv vears ago a rench authoress, signing herselt Geor :e oantl. bv her corrupt but brilliant writings depraved homers and libraries innumerable, and was a literary grandiher of all the pr^ent I*rench and Aniencon authors who have written thing-* so I much worse that they have made her putreI faction quite presentable. Tliat French auI thorcS3 put on masculine attire. She was consistent. Her writings and her behavior I were |k.TfecLly accordant.

My text by implication abhors masculine wftnien and womanly men. What a sickening thing it is to see a man copying tho speech, the walk, the manner of a woman. The trouble i.» that they do not imitate a sensible woman, bur some female iml»ecile.

My text also sanctions fashion, indeed, it set» a fashion! Thero is a great deal of sonsoleas canton tho hubjeefc of fashion. A woman or man who does not regard it is unlit for givil neighborhood. The only question is what is right fashion and what, is wrong fnahion. Jlcforu 1 top I want to show you that fashion has lieen ono of tho most potent

of reforinei saud ono of tho vilest of usurers. bom»*times has l»een an angel from heaven and at others it has been the motherof abominations. As tho world grows bettor thero willlw as much fashion as now. but it will be a righteous fashion. In tho future lifo wlnto ro j«-s always havo boon and always will bo in tne fashion.

There is a great outcry nguinst tlnssub-

Aiul ihe svnduiites having charge of these mutters inform me that every week there are now lo,'»00,000 copies of my discourses puplishod in this country, and about 4,OiK),UOO in other lands, whether Knglish s}x'akin^ countries or bv translation luanv foreign tongues. 1

want ieople to understand that it is all in by these had better, like the old Scythian:

answer to prayer to G«»1 that this oppor tumtv has come, and I pray lor grace to occupy the lield. It is not, therefore, presumptuous when I give wide sco|h to these dieouses and address them "to tho women or America, with iinjortant hints to men." (iod thought womaulv attire of enough important to have it discu.sM.Hl in tho Llible, Paul the apostle, by no means a sentimentalist, ami aeeusiomed to dwell on the great I of the worst evils of theme.* of God and tbo resurrection, writer often been strewn alxnit tho arrangement of woman's hair and slain. It hits oft the style of her jewelry, and in my text Moses, his ear yet tilled with tho thunder of Mount bums, declares that woinanlv attire must bo in marked contra-st with masculine attire, and infraction that law excites tho indignation of high heaven. Just in proportion as the morula a country orau age are depressed is that law dcfitnl. Show mo tho fashion plates of any century, from the time of tho deluge to this, and I will tell you tho cxact state of public morals, lliooiuerism in this country years ago seemed about to break down this divine law, but there was enough of good in American society to In-a back the iudecency. VeL ever and auon wo have imimportetl from Franco, or jvrluips inventod on this side the sea, a stylo that proposes, as far as possible, to make women dri^ss like xncn. and tnousands ot young women catch the m«ie, until some one goes a little too far in imitation of masculinity, and tho whole custom, bv the goal sense of American womanhood, is obliterated.

As Christianitv advances there will Ik Iwttor apparol. higher styles of architecture, more exquisite adornments, sweeter music, grander pictures, nioro correct behavior and more thorough ladies and gentlemen. but there is another storv to bo told. "Wrong fashion is to bo charged with many s«Huetv. mm its path has wn!i the bodie.i of tho et up a faLse standard bv which people are toW judged. Ourcommon senst». as well as ull tho divine intimations on the subject, tench us that people ought to be esteemed according to their individual and moral attainments. The man who hna tho most uobihtv ot soul xhould bo first, and ho who has the least of such qualities should stand lust. No crest, or shield, or escutcheon can indicate one's moral peorage. Titles of duke. lord, esquire, carl, viscount or patrician ought not to raiso one into the lirst rank. Some of tho meanest men I have ever known had at the end of their name D.D.. LL. D. and I'. R. S. Truth, honor, charity, heroism, self saenn^e should wm highest favor but inordinate fashion says: "Count not a woinan'M virtues count her adornments." "Jyjok not at the contour of tho head, but see tho wnv she combs her hair. "Ask nor v.-hat- noble deeds have been accomplished by that man's baud but is it white ami soft?"

As a consequence, some of tho most- ignorant and vicious men an* at the top. and somo of tho most virtuous and intelligent at tho bottom. During the Inst war we suddenly saw men hurled up into tbn highest sooial jositions. Had tlwv sud^»nlv rwform^l from evil habits, or graduatM in science, or achieved some good work for society/ Xo, thev simply had obtained a government contract!

This accounts for tho utbjr chagrin which I people feel at the treatment they receive when they lose their property. Hold up your h»\ad amid financial disaster like a Christian!

Fifty thousand subtracted from good man leaves how much: Honor, truth, faith God, triumphant hop', and a kingdom of ineffable glory, over which he is to reign forever an ever.

hundreds of wret*hi?d misers surpass you and you havo skived tluit which the C'cesars, and tho I haraohs. and trio Alexanders could never afford.

And yet society thinks differently, aud you see the most intimate friendships broken up as the consrHpionce of financial embarrass- I ments. You siiv to some one: "IIow is your friend: 1 bt? man looks lewildcrod und says:

I do not know." Vou reply: "Why, you used to le intimate."

l'\Wll,*'

says tho man,

"our friendship has been dropped. Tho man has failed.-' Proclamation has gone forth. "Velvets must go up and plain apparel must como down." ami the question is: "How does the coat fit.'*'not "Who wears iti" The power that lear:» the tides of excited (Herniation up and down our streets, and rocks the world of commerce, and thrills all nations, transAtlantic and eis-Atlantic, is clothes. It decides the lust oil ices of respect and how long tho dress shall bo totally black and when it may subside into spots of grief on ilk, calico or gingham. Men die in good circumstances, but bv reason of extravagant funeral exI*Mises are well nigh insolvent iwiore they gel buried. Many men would not die at all ut if they had to wait until they could afford it.

Wrong fashion is productive of most ruinous strife. Tho expenditure of manv households adjusted by what their neighbors have, not by what- they them.-elves can afford to bas e: and the great anxiety as to who shall have tho finest house aud tho most oo:.? ly equipage. Tho weapons used in the warfare of social life aro not Minie rifles, and Duhlgren gun anil HotehkUj shells, but chairs, ami mirrors, aud va^os, aiul Gobelins, and Axmmsicrs. Many household establishments are like racing steamboats proj/elled at tho utmost strain and risk, and just coming a terrific explosion. "Who cares," say they, '"if wo only come out aheadf

Thero is no one cause today of more financial embarrassment and of more dishonesties than this determination at all huzardfl to live as well as or bettor than other jeopIe. There aro jemus who will risk their eternity upon ono pier mirror or who will dash out the splendors of heaven to get another trinket. •*My house is too small.' "Hut.,1' says Rome one,

Tho most famous frauds of tho day havo resulted from this feeling. It keeps hundreds of mvu struggling for their commercial existence. lho troublo is that somo are caught and sneaiveratod if thoir larceny

Tliev ajxdogize for the uuiLsiial barrenness of their table when thev never livo any IwtkT. 1 hev decry their most luxurious entertainments to win a shower of approval. Tnev a]Kdogizo for their appearance, as though it were unusual, when always at home '.hoy look just so. 1 hey would make you believe tnat some nice sketch on the wall was tho work of a master paiutor. "It was an heirloom and onco hung on tho walls of a castle: and a duke gave it to their grandfather.'* 1 eoplo who will not lie alKiut anything else will lio about a picture. Oil a small income we must make tho world loliovo that we are nllhient. and our life becomes a cheat, a countorteitand a.sham. tew people are reallv natural und unaffectetl. hen I sav this I do not mean to slur cultured manners. It is right that wo should have more admiration for the sculptured marble than for the unhewn block of the quarrv. roni manv circles in lifo fashion has driven out vivacity and enthusiasm.

A frozen dignity instead floats about tho room and icelerg grants against iceberg. \ou iiiiw mu laugh outright, it is vulgar. on must smile. ou must not dash rapidlv across the room, vou must glide. I here is a round ot bows, and grins, and ilaitones, and ohs und ahs. and sumerings. and nambypanibvism. a world of which is not worth one good, round, honest jeal of laughter. From such a hollow round tho tortured guest retires at the close of the evening and assures his host that he hits enjoyM himself.

Thus social life has leon contorted and defonned until, in some mountain cabin, whero rustics gather to tho quilting or the apple paring, there is more goxl cheer than in all the frescoed ice houses of tho metropolis. want in ail the higher circles of society more warmth of heart and naturalness of l)ehavior. and not so manv refrigerators.

Again: "Wrong fashion is incompatible with happiness. I hose who depend for their comfort upon the admiration of others are subiect to frequent disappointment. Somebody ul criticise ineir ap]enranee. or surpass them in brilliancy, or will receive more attention. Oh. tho jealousy and distraction and heart burnings of those who more in ihis bewildered maze! l'oor butterflies! Hright wings do not alwavs bring happiness. "Sho that liveth in pleasure is dead Trhilo she liveth.'' Tho revelations of high life that como to t»io challenge anil the light are only occasional croppings out of disquietudes that are undernoath. like the stars of hoaven for multitude, but like tho demons of tho pit for hate. The misery that, will to-night in tho cellar cuddle up in the straw 1* not so inter as the princeh disquietude that stalks through splendid drawing r«*ms, brooding over the Flight* and offenses of luxurious life. The bitterness of life seoms not so unfitting when drunk out "f a pewter mug as when it pours from the chased lips ot a golden chalice. In tho sharp crack o: the vuiuptuarv pistol, putting an end to his oarthlv misery. I hear thw confirmation that, in a hollow fastidious lifo there is no peace.

Again: Devotion to wrong fashion i* productive of physical disease, mental imbecility and spiritual withering. Anpaml msufllclout to keep out the cold ami the rain, or so titled upon the person that, the functions of lifo aro restrained late hours filial with excitement and frosting: free draitsof wine that tnako one not lx.»astly intoxicated, but onl}* fashionably drunk, and luxurious indolence—aro tho instruments by which this unreal life pushes its disomies into valetudinarianism and the grave.

cers, consumptions, gout and almost every infirmity in all the realm of pathology havU'on the penalties paid. To counteract tho damage pharmacy has gone forth with mcI dicament. panacea, elixir, embrocation-salve and cataplasm.

To-night with swollen feet upon cu-hionod ottoman, and groaning with aches innumerable, will be the votary of luxurious livftig, not half so happy na his groom or coal heaver. Wrong fashion is the world's undertaker, and drives thousands of hearses to Greenwood and Laurel Hill and Mount. Auburn.

But, worse than thut, this folly is uu intelleetual dv})lction. Thi endless study of proprieties and etiquette, patterns and st vies, is bcdwartniE totho intellect. I never krew a woman or a man ot* extreme fashion that kne*.v much. How belittling tho .study of tho cut of a coat, or tho tie of a cravat, or the wrinkle in a sleerc, or tho color of a ribbon! IIow they are worried if something gets untied, or hangs awry, or is not nicely adjusted! With a mind capable of measuring the height and depth of great subjects: able I to unravel mysteries, to walk through tho universe, to soar up iuto the infinity of God's tes—hovering perpetually over anew stylo of cloak! 1 havo known men reckless as to their character and regardless of interests momentous and eternal, exasperated by tho shape of a vest button. What, is the matter with that woman wrought up into tlr.' agony of despair? Oh, her r.iufi is out of fashion!

Worse than all—this folly is not satisfied until it us oxt irpatod every moral sentiment and blasted the soul. A wardrobois tho rock upon which many a soul has been riven. Tho excitement of a luxurious life has been tho vortex that has uwaliowod up more souls than the Mncli.uvai oil Isorwuv ever destroyed ships. h.u loom for elevating themes in a heart filled v.ith tho trivial aud unreaW \V ho e.ti -.vonder that in this hus^o for sungilded bautlea and wingod thistle down men imd women should tumble into ruin/ Tho travelers to doitruction aro not all clothod in mgs.

No sound of woe disturbs tho air, but all is light, aud song, and wine aud gorgeousiiess. 1 he world comes out to meet the dazzling procession with: "Hurrah! hurrah 1"

In th» wild tumult of tho last day—the mountains falling, tho heavens flying, tho thrones uprising, tho universo assembling: amid tho boom of tho last great thunder peal and under tho crackling of a burning world— what will Injcomoof tho disciple of unholy 1 fashion?

Hut watoh the career of ono thoroughly artificial, -i::h inheritance, or perhaps his own skill having obtained enough for pui|oses of display, ho fools himself thoroughly established. Ho sits aloof from tho common herd, and looks out of Ins window U]H)n the poor man and says: "Put that dirty wroU-h off mv stops immediately! On Sabbath day ho lnuls the church, but mourns the tact that ho must worship with so many of the mi ie: nnt. aud savs: "I hev aro perfectly uulul: "Unit man that you putin my pew hail a coat on his back that, did not cost f.». He struts through life unsvmpathettc with trouble and says: "F cannot bo bothered. Is delighted with some doubtful story of Parisian hie. but. thinks tbar them are some verv indecent things in the Hible. alks arm in arm with the successful man of the world, but does not know his own brother. Loves to be praised for his splendid house, and when told that bo looks younger than ten wars ago. savs: "\Nell. reallv: do vou think so*

No angel wings hovering about him no gi\s|ol promises kindlim? up the darkness but exquisite enibroiderv. elegant picture*, and a bust of bhnkesjearo on tho mantel. Ihe pulses stop: the minister comes to read of the resurrection, that day when the dead shall como up—both ho that died on th" fiior and ho that expired under princeh uoholsterv. He is earned on1 to burial. Oiu.y a few mourners, but a great aira\ of i-ai uigi s. Not one common man at thefuneial. No lK»friendel orphan weep a tear on his grave. No child of want pressing through the ranks of tho weeping, saving:

No! no! no I Thero will bo a shudder as chough a calamity had happened. Standing on heavens battlement, watchman will see something shoot past with flerv downfall, and fthrictt: "Wandering star, tor whom is reserved the blackness of darkness forever'"

But sadder yet is the closing of a woman's lifo that has been worshipful ol worldliness all tho ^eaithof a hfetimosop]ortimitv wa«tHl. What a tragt.nl A woman on Irer living pillow, thinking of what she might have done for God aud humanity, and vet having done nothing! Compare her demise with that of a Han let Nowcil going down to jeacefully dio lo tho Islo ol I'ranee, reviewing her lifetime sacrifices for tho redemption of India or at the last hours of Lhzaheth Horvov, having exchanged her bright New Kngland homo for p. lifo at Hombav amid stolid houtlu-niMu, that, she might lilumiuo i*., saving hor la-st moments: "Jt this is the dark valley, it has not a dark spot in it all is light, light!' or tho exit of Mrs. Lennox, falling under sudden disease at Smvnia, breathing out her soul with tho last word*: *-0h, how happy: or tho deiwirturo of Mrs. Saiah D. omstock. spending her lifo tor tho salvation of liurmah, giving up her children tlmt they might como homo to America to l)o ediicnuvl, aud saying. a« she kissod them good-by, nover to see them again:
