Brooklyn, Feb. 10.—This morning the Uov. T. IV Wit Talmagc, 1). prcached tho seventh of his scries of ''Sermons to tho "Women of America, with Important Hints to Men." Tho opening hymn begins:

Then let oar abound, Ami every tear lv dry: We're lunrehiai through Inuuanners pwtujd.

To fairer worlds on high." Pr. Talmage toi"»k for his text tho follow-j ing words: "She that liveth in pleiiMtiv is dead while she liveth." He said:

Tho editor of a Host on newspaivr a few' days ag« wrote, asking mo th.e torso questions: "What Ls the road to happiness?'* and ''Ought hnppinos IHJ the chief aim of lifoT1 My answer was: "Tho road to happiness is tho continuous effort to mako others happy, The chief aim of life ought to bo usefulness, not happiiuvs, but happiness always follows usefulness." This morning's text in a strong way sets forth the truth that a woman who seeks in worldly advantage her chief enjoyment will come to disappointment and death.

that liveth in pleasure is dead while she livet h.r My friends, you all want to be happy. Y"tt have had a great many recipes by which it is proposed to give you satisfoetion—solid satisfaction. At times you feel a thorough unrest. You know as well as older jjeoplo what it is to bo depressed. As dark shadows sometuues fall upon the geography of tho school girl as on the pace of the sjeet«elod 1 philosopher. I have seen ^usjclomly days in May jus in November. There are no deei«ir sighs breathed by the grandmother than by tho granddaughter. 1 correct tho i»opular impression that jvoplo are happier in childhooil and youth than they ever will to again. If we live aright, the older tho happier. The happiest woman that I over knew was a Chritian octogenarian her harr white white could the sunlight of heaven, lato in the aftcrnoi»u, gilding the joaks of snow. I have to say to a groat many of tho young people that-the must miserable time you aro ever to have is just now. As you advance in life, .-is you come out into the world and have your head and heart ail full of good, honest, practical Christian work, then vuu will know what it is to begin to be happy. There are those who would have us believe that life is chasing thistledown and grasping bubbles. We have not found it so. To many of us it has 1 een discovering diamonds larger than the Komnoor, and 1 think that

And, in the llrst place, I ndvise you not to build your happiness unon mero social position. 1'ersons at your ago, looking off upon life, an* apt to think that, if by some stroke of what is callcd good luck, you could arrive in an elevated and affluent ]ositiun. a little higher than that in which God has called you

All that this world can dofor you in silver, in gold, in Axminstor plush, in Goboliu tap stry, in wide halls, in lordly acquaintanceship, will not give you tho ton thousandth part of a grain of solid satisfaction. The Kn lih lord, moving in the \ery highest sphere, was one day found seated with his chin on his hand and his elbow on tho window sill, looking out and saying: "Oh, I wish 1 could exchange places with that dog!*' Mere social jH»sition will never give happiness to a woman's soul. I have had wide ami continuous observation, and I tell tho young women that they who build on more social posit ion their soul's immortal happiness arc budding on the sand.

Suppose that a young woman exjvnds tho brightness of her early life in this unsatisfactory struggle ami omits tho present opportunity of usofulnevss in the homo circle: v.-hat a mistake!

1

our joy will continue to increase until nothiug short uf the everlasting jubilee of heaven will bo able to express it.

Horatio Greenough, at the close of the hardest life a man ever lives—the life of an American artist—wrote: "1 don't want to leave tins world until I give some sign that, born by the grace of God in this land. I have found life to be a very cheerful thing, mid not the dark and bitter thing with which my early pr--jK-ets were clouded."

Albert Ha rues, the good Christian, known the world over, stood in bis pulpit in Philadelphia. al TO or *0 years of age, and said: '•This world is so very attractive to me, I am very sorry I shall have to leave it."

I know that »S.)lomon said some very dolorous things about this world, and three times declared: "Vanity of vanities, all is vanKv." I suppose it was a reference to those times in his career when his seven hundred wivosalinost pesteredthelifeout of him. But I would rather turn to the description ho gave after his conversion, when he says in another place: "Her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths ure j^ruu" It is reasonable to expect it will be so. The longer tho fruit hangs on the tree, the riper and more mellow it ought to grow. You plant one grain of corn and it will send up a stalk with two ear*, each having time hundred and iiftv grains, :*i that one grain planted will produco nineteen hundred grains. And ought not the implantation of a grain of Christian 1 principle ma youthful soul develop into a largo crop of gladness on earth, and to a harvest of eternal joy in heaven.1 Hear me, then, while 1 discourse upon some of the mistakes which young people make in regard to happiness, and point out to the young women what I consider to l*e the source of completo satisfaction.

So suivlv as tho years roll around that home in which you now dwell will Imvotuo extinct. The parents will be gone, tho property will go into other possession, you yourself will bo in other relationships, and that home which, only a year ago. was full of congratulation, will be extinguished. When that period comes you will look back to see what you did, or what you neglected to do in the way of making home happy. It will bo too lato to correct mistakes. If you did not I smooth tho path of your parents toward tho tomb if you did not mako their last days bright and happy if you allowed your younger brother to go out into tho world, unhallowed by Christian and sisterly influences if you allowed tho younger sisters of your family to come up without feeling that I there had been a Christian example set them on your part, there will be nothing but bitterness of lamentation. That bitterness will be increased by all tho surroundings of that home by every chair, by every picture, by the old time mantel ornaments, by everything you can thud of a.s connected with that home. All these things will rouso up agonizing memories. Young women, have you anything to do in tho way of making your father's homo happy? Now is the time to attend to it, or leave it forever undone. Time is tlyiug very quickly away. 1 suppose you notice tho wrinkles are gathering and accumulating on those kindly faces that have so long looked upon you thore is frost in the locks the foot is not as firm in ita stop as it used to bo and they will soon l»o gone. The heaviest clod that overfalls on a parent's coffin lid is the memory of an ungrateful daughter. Oh. mako their last days bright and beautifui. Do not act as though they were in the way. Ask their counsel, seek their prayers, and, after long years have passed, and you go out to see tho grave whero they sleep, you will tlnd growing all over tho mound something lovelier than cypress, something sweeter than tho ruse, something chaster than the lily—tho bright and beautiful memories of filial kind* ness ierformed ere the dying hand dropped on you a henedictiou, and you closed tho lids over the weary eyes of the worn out pilgrim. Better that, in tho hour of your birth, you had been struck with orphanage, and that you had been handed over into the cold arms of the world, rather than that you should have been brought up under a father's care ami a mother's tend- rness, at last to seoff at their example and deride their influence and on the da\ when you followed them in long procession to the tomb, to find that you are followed by a still larger procession of unfiiial deeds done and wrong words uttered. Tho one procession will leave its burden in the tomb and disband but that longer procession of ghastly memories' will forever march and forever wail. Oh, it is a good time for a young woman when she is in her father's house. How careful they are of her welfare! How watchful those parents of all her interests! Seated at the morning repast, father at ono end tho table, children on either side and between but the years will roll on, and great changes will bo effected, and ono will be missed from one end the table, and another will bo missed from tho other end the table. (Nod pity that young woman's soul who, in that dark hour, has nothing but regretful recollections.

I go further, and advise you not to depend for enjoyment upon mere |xrsonal attractions. It would be sheer hypocrisy, because wo may not- have it ourselves, to despise, or affect to despise, beauty in others. When God gives it ho gives it as blessing and as a moans of usefulness. David and bis army were coining down from tho mountains destroy Nabal and his flocks ami vineyards. Tho beautiful Abigail, tho wife of Nabal, went out to arrest him when ho camo down from the mountains, ami she succeeded. Coming to the foot of the hill, she knelt. David, with his army of sworn men, camo down over the cliffs, ami when he wiw her kneeling at the foot of tho hill he cried "Halt!" to his men, nud the caves echoed it: "Halt! halt!" That ono beautiful woman kneeling at tho foot of tho cliff had arrested all those armed troops. A dewdrop dashed back Niagara, The Bible sets before us tho portraitsof Sarah and Uebecca.aud Abishag, Absalom's sister, and Job's daughters, and I says:

to live, you would le completely happy. Infinite mistake! The palace tl« of Alla^uerus is red with tho bhx»d of Vashti's broken heart. There have been so more scalding tears wept than thoe which coursed the cheeks of .Josephine, If the sob of unhappy womanhood in tho great cities could br» ak through the taja-stried wall, that sob would come along your rtrects tx'..ty like the simoon of the desert. Sometimes I have heard in tho rustling of tho robes "n the city pavement the hiss of the adders that followed iii tho wake. You have come out fivia your home, and you have looked tip at the gnat house, and covet life nmler those arches, when, porhajs, at that very moment, within that house, there may have b«vn the wringing of hands, tho start of horror and tho very agony of hell. I knew such a one. Her father's house was plum, most of the people who came there Were plain but, by a change in fortune such as somet imes eotnes, a hand had b«-en -lTcrcd thai led her into a brilliant tphere. All tho neighbors congratulated her u|M»n her grand prospeety but what an exchange! On her side it was a la-art full of generous impulse and affection. On his side it was a soul dry uml withen.nl as the stubble of the field. On her sale it was a father's house, where God was honored and tho Sabbath light Hooded the rooms with tho very mirth of heaven.

On his side it was gorgeous residence, and the coming of mighty men to I** enter1 taiu»-d there but within it were revelry ami godlcKsni'ss. Hardly had the orange blossoms of the marriage feast lost their fragrance, than the night,of discontent lioganto easthereand there its shadow. ('ruclties and unkiudncases changed all those splendid trappings into a hollow luivckery. The platters of soiid silver, tlw caskets of pure gold, the head dress of gloaming diamonds, were there: but no God, no jK-'ueo, no kind words, no Christian sympathy. The festal music that broke cm tho captive's ear turned nut to be a dirge, and the wreath in the plush was a reptile coil, and the upholstery that swayed in the wind was the wing of a destroying angel, and the bead drops on tho pitcher were tho sweat of everlasting despair. Oh, how many rivalries and unhappiuesscs among those who seek in social life their chief happiness. It matters not bowline you have things, there aro othfr jH'ople who have it liner. Taking out your watch to tell tho hour of the day somo one will correct your timepiece by pulling out a watch more richly chased ami jeweled.

Ride in a carriage that cout you $S00, and b*»

4*They

were fair to look uijon." By

out door exercise, and by skillful arrangement of apparel, let women make themselves attractive. The slo en has only one mission, and that to excite our loathing and disgust. But a his! lor those who depend upon personal charms for their happiness. Beauty is such a subtle tiling, it docs not seem to depend U|Kn facial proportions, or upon the sparkle of the eye, or upon the flush of th* cheek. You hornet imes lhn

I it among irregular fe.it-

urea. It is the soul shining through the face that makes one beautiful. But alas! for those who dejK'iid upon more jH»rsorial charms. They will come to disappointment and to a great fret. There are so many different opinions alxmt what aro personal charms and then sickness, and trouble, and age, do I mako such ravages. Tho poorest grd that a woman ever worships is her own face. Tho saddest sight in all tho world isa woman who has built everything on good looks, when tho charms begin to vanish. Oh, how they trv to cover tin wrinkles and hide tho ravages of lime! When time, with iron shod feet, stops on a face, tho hoof mark* remain, and you cannot hide them. It is silly to try to hide them. I think tho most repulsive fool in all the world is an old fool!

Why, my friends, should you lo ashamed to bo getting old/ It is a sign—it is prima facie evidence that you have Iwhaved tolerably well or you would not have lived to this time. The grandest thing, 1 think, is eternity, and that is made up of countless years. When tho Bible would set forth the attractiveness of Jesus Christ, it says: "His hair was white as snow." But when tho color goes from the cheek, and tho luster from tho eye, ami the spring from tho step, and the gracefulness from the gait, alas! lor those vviio have built their timo and their eternity upon good looks. But all the passagoof years cannot takeout of one's face benignity, and kindness, and compassion, and faith. Culture your heart ami you culture your face. Tho brightest glory that over leamcd from a woman's faco is tho religion of Jesus Christ. In tho last war 1^00 wounded soldiers came to Philadelphia one night, and came unheralded, and they had to oxteraporizq^a hospital for

v-

them, and tho Christian women of my church, and of other churches, went out that night to take caro of tho |oor wounded fellows. That night I saw a Christian woman go through the warils of the liaspital, her sleeves rolled tip, roariv fop hard work, her hair disbeveled in the excitement of the hour, Her faco was plain, very plain but after tho wounds wero washed and tho now bandages wero put round tho splintered limbsand tho exhausted boy fell off into his first pleasant skvp, she put her hand on his brow and ho started in his renin, and said:. "Oh, I thought an angel touched mo|M There may have Uvn no clasic elegance in tho features of Mrs. Harris, who came into tho hospital after tho Seven Days awful fight, as she sat down bv a wounded drummer boy and hoard him soliloquize: "A ball through my body, and my poor mother will never I again see her boy. What a pity it isf And she leaned over him and said: "Shall I bo your mother and comfort youf And ho looked up and said: "Yes, I'M try to think she's hero. I'leaso to write a long letter to her and tell her all about it, and send her a lock of my hair and comfort her. But I would like to have you tell her how much I I suffered—ytw, I would like you to do that, for she would feel so for mo. Hold my hand while I die.*' Thero may have been no classic elegance in her features, but all the hospitals of Harrison's Landing and Fortress Monroo would have agreed that she was beautiful and if any rough man in all that ward had insulted her, some wounded soldier would have leaped from his couch, on his best foot, and struck him dead with a crutch.

Again: I advise, you not to depend for happiness ii{K»n the flatteries of men. It is a poor compliment to your sex that so many men feel obliged in your presence to offer unmeaning compliments. Men capable of elegant and elaborate conversation elsewhero sometimes feel called upon at tho door of tho drawing room to drop their common sense and to dole out sickening flatteries. Th*?y suy things about your dress, and about vour appearance, that you know, and they kn ^w, aro false. They say you aro an angel. You know you are iv t. Determined to tell tho truth in office and sioro and shop, th-v consider it honorable to lie to a woman. The same thing that they told you on thissiNof the drawing room throe minutes ago they said to some ono on tho other side of tho drawing room. On, let no one trample on ur self respect. Tho meanest thing on which a woman can build her happiness is the flatteries of men.

Again. I charge you not to depend for happiness upon tho discipleship of worldliness. I have seen men as vain of their oid fashioned and their eccentric hat as your brainless fop is proud of his dangling fooleries. Fashion sometimes makes a reasonable demand of us, and then we ought to yield to t. The daisies of the field havo their fashiou of color and leaf tho honeysuckles havo their fashiou of ear drop, and tho snowflakes flung out uf tho winter he:vens havo their fashion of exquisiteness. After the summer shower the sky weds th* earth with ring of rainbow, and I do not think we have right to despiso tho elegancies an I fashions of this world, especially if they mako reasonable demands upon us but tho discipJeship and woi*slnp of fashion is death to tho body and death to tho soul. I am gtad th»* world is improving. Look at tho fashion plates of the Seventeenth and Eighteenth centuries, and you will lind that tho world is not so extravagant and extraordinary now as it was then, and all tho marvelous things that tho granddaughter will do will n'-ver equal that done by the grandmother. Go still farther back, to tho Bible times, and you find that in tho.su times fn- hion wielded mure terrible scepter. You lmv» only to turn to the third chapter of Isaiah, a portion of the Scriptures from whi-h I once preached to you sermon, to read: "Because th" daughters of Zi«m are haughty, and walk with stretched forth necks and wanton eyes, walking and mincing as they go, and making a tinkling with their feet In that day th- Lord will take away tho bravery of their tinkling ornaments about their f«vt, and their cauls, and their round tires like tho moou, tho chains and the bracelets, ami the mufflers, th bonnets, and the head bands, and th- tablets, and the earrings, the rings, and the nose j-wols, the changeable suits of apparel, and tho mantles, and tho wimples, and the crisping pins, the glasses, and tho lino linen, aud th" hoods, and tho veils." Only think of a woman having all that on! lam glad that tho world is getting letter, and that fashion, which has dominated in the world so ruinously in other days, has for a little time, for a little degree at any rate, relaxed its energies. All the splendors and the extravaganza of this world dyed into your robe ami flung over vour shoulder canu wrap jx»aco around your heart for a single moment. Tho gayest wardrobe will utter no voico of condolence in tho day of trouble and darkness. That woman is grandly dressed, and only sho, who is wrapped in tho rolK) of a Saviour's righteousness. Tho homo may lx very humble, the hat may be very plain, tho frock may bo very coarse but tho halo of heaven settles in tho room when sho wears it, and tho faintest touch of the resurrection angel will change that garment into raiment exceeding white, so a.s no fuller on earth could whiten it. I come to you, young women, today, to say that this world cannot mako you happy. I know it is a bright world, with glorious sunshine, and golden I rivers, and iir* worked sunset, ami bird orchestra, and tlw darkest cave has its crystals, and the wrathiest wave its foam wreath, I and tho coldest midnight it. flaming aurora but God will put out all theso lights with the blast or' his own nostrils, and the glori«\* of this world will perish in I the final conflagration. You will never bo happy until you get your sins forgiven and allow Christ .Jesus to take full possession of your soul. He will bo your friend in every jrfTplexity. He will be your comfort in every trial. He will bo your defender in I every strait. I do not ask you to bring, like

Mary, the spices to tho sepulcher of a dead Christ, but to bring your all to tho feet of a

1

living Jesus, His word is joaeo. His look is love. His hand is help. His touch is life. His smile is heaven. Oh, come, then, in flocks and grout is. Conic like tho south wind over banks of myrrh. Come like tho morning light tripping over tho mountain. Wreathe ail your affections on Christ's brow, set all your gems in Christ's coronet, pour all your voices into Christ's song, and let this SahbatL air rustlo with the wings of rejoicing angels, and tho towers of God ring out tho news of souls saved.

This world its fancied pearl may crave, Tis not the pearl for me 'Twill dial its luster in tic grave, I 'Twill Irt ish in the sea.

But there's a pearl of price untold, W a to it Oh, that's the jearl fur mo. Tho snow was very deep, and it was still falling rapidly, when, in tho first year of my ministry,! hastened to seo a young woman die. It was a very humble home. She wits an orphan her father had leon shipwrecked on the banks of Newfoundland. She had aimed her own living. As 1 entered tho room I saw nothing attractive. No pictures. No taiostry. Not even a cushioned chair, i'ho snow on tho window casement was not whiter than the cheek of that dying girl. It wan a face never to Ikj forgotten. Sweetness and majesty of soul, and faith in God, had given her

matchless beauty, and tho sculptor who could havo caught tho outlines of thoso features, and frozen them into stone, would have mado himself immortal. With her large, brown eyes she looked calmly into the great eternity. I sat down by her bedside and said: "Now tell mo all your troubhs and sorrows, and struggles and doubts." She replied: "I have no doubts or struggles. It is all plain to me. Jusus has smoothed the way formyf»vt. 1 wish when you go to your pulpit next Siyulay you would tell the young |MHplethut religion will make them happy. •Oh, death where is thy sting?' Mr. Tulmage, 1 wonder if this is not the bliss of dying?" I said, "Yes, 1 think it must lo." 1 lingered around tho couch. The sun was setting, and her sister lighted a candle. She lighted tho candle forme. Tho dying girl, the dawn of heaven in her face, needed no candle. I rose to go, and sho said: "I thank you for coming. Good night. When we meet again it will lo in heaven—in heaven! Good night! g»*d night!'' For her it was go m] night to tears, good night to pov-

ort\

good night to death but when tho sun rose again it was good morning. The light of another day had burst in upon her soul. Good morning! The augols wore singing her welcome home, and tho hand of Christ was putting upon her brow a garland. Good morning, ller sun rising. Her palm waving. Her spirit exulting before tho throne of God. Good morning! Good morning! Tho white lily of poor Margaret's cheek had blushed into the rose of health immortal, and tho snows through which wo carried her to tho country graveyard woro symlols of that robe which sho wears, so white that no fuller on earth could whiten it.

My sister, my daughter, may your last end be like hers!

(IKNTi.icMKN': I have friven Zoal'liora but a I iinited trial, and am so rejoiced at the result. 1 hesitated no longer to recommend it to others. 1 have been a sufferer from nervous headache l'or twenty years: and owing to a general enfeebied condition of inv nervous system I was continually tired, worn out and able to accomplish but little each day. My husband sent me away from home and domestic cares to my mother's house to rest, it was there I first learned of and tried ZoaI'lmra. I havo used two bott'.'-s and as a result I am no longer alilicted Willi that, t'Trible nervous headache, and now when I am the least bit weary a few doses of Zoa-l'hora takes it all away and refreshes me. My sleep is usually sound and my general health better than for years previous to its use. It has proven a great relief to me in eradicating the bearing down pains and backache so general and peculiar to my sex. I shall continue to recommend it to my neighbors ami acquaintances. and hope to always have it, in my house. Any lady wishing to test the authenticity of this letter can do so by writing nie.
