CHICAGO, March Uo.—The Kev. T. DeWitt Talmage, D. D., pastor of tho Tabernacle, Brooklvn, N. Y., preached hero this morning. His subject was, "Reformation from Kvil Habits,-' aud his text, Proverbs xxiii, 35:

When shall I awake? I will seek it. yet again.*' lie said: With an insight into human nature such as no other man ever reached, Solomon, in my text, sketches tho mental ojeration3 of one who, having stepped aside from the path of rectitude, desires to return. With a wish for something better, bo says:

4'When

4lI

shall

1 awake When shall 1 come out of this horrid nightmare of iniquity?" But seized upon by uncradicated habit, and forced down hill by his pass io us, lie cries out:

will seek it yet again. I will try it oaco muro.v Our libraries are adorned with an elegant literature addressed to young men, pointing out to them all the dangers and |*crils of life, complete maps of tho voyage, showing all tho rocks, the quicksands, the shoals. But suppose a mail lias already made shipwreck sup{M»so he is already off the^track supjose lie has already gone astray, how is he to get back? That is Held comparatively untouched. propose to address myself this evening to such. There are those in this Jau* dience who, with every passion of their agonized soul, are ready to hear this discus* sion. They compare themselves with what they were ten years ago, and cry out from Uie lxj iu«4ge in which they are incarcerated. Now, if there IM« any in this house, come with an earnest purpose, yot feeling the)' ure beyond the pale of Christian sympathy, and that the sermon can hardly be exjeeUxl to address them, then at this moment I givo them my right hand and call them brother. Look up. There is glorious and triuuiphaut boj»e for you yet. I sound the trunqx't of gosfel deliverance. The church is ready to spread a bampiet at your return anil the hierarchs of heaven to fall into line of bannered procession at the news of your emancipation. So far as C*K1 may help me, I propose to show what are tho obstacles of your return, and then how you are to surmount those obstacles.

The first difficulty in the way of your return is the force of moral gravitation. Just as there is a natural law which brings down to the earth anything wni^ii you throw into tho air, so there is a corresponding moral gravitation. In other words, it is easier to go down than it is to go up it is easier to do wrong thmi it is to do right. Call to mind the comrades of your boyhood days—some of them good, some of them bad. Which most affected you? Call to miud the anecdotes that you have heard in the last five or ten years—some of them are pure and some of them impure. Which tho more easily sticks to your memory? During the years of your life you have formed certain courses of conduct—some of them good, some of them bad. To which style of habit did you the more easily yield! Ah! my friends, wo have to take but a moment of self insjiection to find out that there is in all our souls a force of moral gravitation. Hut that gravitation may IKS resisted. Just AS you may pick up from the earth something and hold it iu your hand toward heaven, just so, by the power of God's grace, a soul fallen may le lifted toward |eace, toward pardon, toward heaven.

Force of moral gravitation in every one of us, but power in (.tod's grace to overcomo that force of moral gravitation.

The next thing in tho way of your return is the jHiwer of evil habit. I know there are those who say it is very easy for them to give up evil habits. 1 do not believe them. Here is a man given to intoxication. He knows it is disgracing his family, destroying his property, ruining him, body, mind and soul, if that man, being an intelligent man, and loving his family, could easily give up that habit, would he not do so? The fact that ho does not give it up proves it is hard to givo it up. It is a very easy thing to sail down stream, the tide carrying you with great force but supjxxd you turn the boat up stream, is it so easy then to row it? As long as we yield to the evil inclinations in our hearts and our bad habits, wo are sailing dowu stream but the moment we try to turn, we put our boat in the rapids just above Niagara, and try to row up stream. Take a man given to the habit of using tobacco, as most of you do, and let him resolve to stop, aud he finds it very difficult. Twenty-one years ago 1 quit that habit, and I would as soon daro to put my right hand iu the flro as once to indulge in it. Why? Because it was such a terrible struggle to get over it. Now, let a man be advised by his physician to give up the use of tobacco. He goes around not knowing what to do with himself. Ho canuot add up a lino of figures. He caunot sleep nights. It seems as if the world had turned upside down. He feels his business is going to ruin. Where he was kind and obliging, he is scolding and fretful. The composure that characterized him has given way to fretful restlessness, aud he has become a complete ildget. What power is it that has rolled a wave of woe over tho earth aud shaken a portent in the heavens? Ho has tried to stop smoking. After a while he says:

am going to do as I please.

The doctor doesn't understand my ease. I'm going I tack to the old habit.1' And he returns. Everything assumes its usual comi»osure. His business seems to brighten. The world Incomes an attractive place to live in. His childreu, seeing the difference, hail the return of their fathers genial disposition. What wave of color has dashed blue into the sky, a*ul greenness into the mountain foliage, and the glow of sapphire into the sunset? What enchantment has lifted a world of beauty and joy on his soul? He has gone back to smoking. Oh, the fact is, as wu ull know in our own experience, that habit is a taskmaster as long as we obey it. it does not chastise us but let us resist, and we find that wo are to be lashed with scorpion whips, ami bound with ship cable, and thrown into the track of lo»o breaking Juggernauts. During tho war of 1^1- there was a ship set on fire just alovc Niagara Falls, and then, cut iooM from its moorings, it caiuo on down through the night, and towed over the falls. It was said to have been a scene brilliant beyond all description. Well, there are thousands of men on fire of evil habit, coming down through the rapids and through the awful night of temptation toward the eternal plunge. Oh, how hard it is to arrest them. Uod only can arrest them.

Suppose a man after five, or ten, or twenty years of evil doing resolves to do right. Why. all the forces of darkness are allied against him. He canuot sleep nights. Ho gets down on hii knees in the midnight und cries:

4,God

help me!" He bites his lips. Ho

grinds hi* teeth. He clenches his fist in a determination to keep his purpose. lie daro notliokat the bottles in tho windows of a wine store. It is one loug, bitter, exhaustive, hand to hand fight- with inflamed, tantaliz-, ing and merciless habit. When ho thinks be is entirely free tho old lucliaa-

tions pounce upon him like a pack of hounds with their muzzles tearing away at the flan!:s of ono JKHIT reindeer. In lJaris there is a sculptured representation of Bacchus, the god of revelry. Ho is riding on a panther at full leap. Oh! how suggestive. Lot every one who is sjieeding on bad ways understand he is not riding a dooilu and well hrokcM steed, but he is riding a monster wild and hi sxlthirsty, going ut a death leap. How many Micro are who resolve on a bettor life, and say: "When shall I awako?" but, seized on by their old habits, cry: "I I will try it once more I will seek it yet I again!'' Years ago, there were some I'riucoton students who were skating and the ico I was very thin, and some one warned tho company back from tho air hole, and finally warned them entirely to leave the place. But ono young man with bravado, after all the rest had stopped, cried out: "Ono round morel" Ho swept arouud, and I weut down, and was brought out a cor|«e.

My friends, there are thousands and tens of thousands of men losing their souls in that way. It is tho ono round more.

I have also to say that if a man wants to return from evil practices society repulses him. Desiring to reform, he says: "Now, I will shake oil" my old associates, and I will find Christian comiuinionship." And ho appears at the church door some Sabbath day, and the usher greets him with a look as much as to say:

44Why,

you here? You are the

last man 1 ever exacted to see at church! Come, take this seat right down by tho door." Instead of saying, "Good morning I am glad you arc here. Come, I will givo you a first rate seat, right up by tho pulpit." Well, the prodigal, not yet discouraged, enters a prayer meeting, and some Christian man, with more zeal than common sense, says "Glad to see you tho dying thief was saved, and I supjKse thero is mercy for you." The young man, disgusted, chilled, throws himself on hisdignity, resolved he will never enter into tho house of God again. Perhaps not quite fully discouraged about reformation, besides up by somo highly res|M«ctable man he used to know, going down the street, and immediately the respectable man has an errand down some other street. Well, the prodigal wishing to return takes some member of a Christian association by the hand, or tries to. The Christian young man looks at him, looks at the faded apparel and the marks of dissipation, instead of giving him a warm grip of tfee hand, offers him the tip ends of the long fingers of the left hand, which is equal to striking a man in tho face! Oh! how few Christian jeoplo understand how much force and gosjwl there is in a good, honest hand shaking. Sometimes, when you have felt tho need of encouragement, aud some Christian man has taken you heartily by tho hand, have you not felt thrilling through every fiber of your body, mind aud soul an encouragement that was just what you needed? You do not know anythiug at all about this unless you know when a man tries to return from evil courses of conduct he runs against repulsions innumerable. We say of somo man, he lives a block or two from the church, or half a mile from tho church. Thero are people in our crowded cities who live 1,000 miles from church. Vast deserts of indifference between them and the house of (rod. Tho fact is wo must keep our respectability, though thousands and tens of thousands perish. Christ sat with publican and sinners. But if thero came to the house of God a man with marks of dissijwitionupon him people almost threw up their hands in horror, as much as to say: "Isn't it shocking?" How these dainty, fastidious Christians in all our churches are going to got into heaven I don't know, unless they have an especial train of cars, cushioned and upholstered, each one a car to himself. They cannot go with the great horde of publicans and sinners. Oh! ye who curl your lip of scorn at the fallen, I tell you plainly, if you had been surrounded by the same influences, instead of sitting today amid the cultured, and tho refined, and the Christian, 3*ou would have been a crouching wretch in stable or ditch, covered with filth and abomination.

I think men also aro often hindered from return by the fact that churches are too anxious about their membership and too anxious about their denomination, and they rush out when they see a man about to givo up his sin and return to God, and ask him how ho is going to be Iwptized, whether by sprinkling or immersion, and what kind of a church he is going to join. Oh 1 my friends, it is a poor time to talk about Presbyterian cathechisms, and Episcopal liturgies, ami Methodist love feasts, and baptistries to a man that is coming out of the darkness of sin into tho glorious light of the gospel. Why, it reminds me of a man drowning in the sea, and a life boat puts out for him, and the man in the boat says to the mau out of tho boat: "Now, if I get you ashore, aro you going to live- on my street?" First get him ashore, and then talk about the non-essentials of religion. Who cares what church he joins, if he only joins Christ and starts for heaven? Oh! you ought to have, my brother, an illumined face and hearty grit) for every one that tries to turn from his evil way. Take hold of the same book with him though his dissipations shake tho book, rememlnsring that "ho that converteth a sinner from the error of his ways shall save a soul from death and hide a multitude of sins."

Now, I have shown you these obstacles because I want you to understand I know all tho difficulties in the way but I am now to tell you how Hannibal may scale the A1]is. and how the shackles may be unrivetod, and how the paths of virtue forsaken may lx» regained. First of all, my brother, throw yourself on God. Go to hiin frankly, and earnestly, and tell Him these habits you have, aud ask him if thero is any help in all tho resources of omnipotent love, to give it to you. Do not go with along rigmarole jieoplo call prayer made tip of "obs," and "ahs," and "forever and ever, aniens 1" Go to (tod and cry for help! help! help! and if you cannot cry for help, just look and live. 1 rememlier in the Into war. I was at Antietain, and I went into the hospitals after the battle and said to a man: "Where are you hurt?" lie made no answer but held up his arm, swollen and splintered. 1 saw whero he was hurt. The simple fact is, when a man has a wounded soul, all he has to do is to hold it up before sympathetic Lord and get it healed. It does not take any long prayer. Just hold up the wound. Oh, it is no small thing when a man is nervous ami weak and exhausted, coming from his evil ways, to feel that God puts twe omnipotent arms around him, and says: "Young man I will stand by you. The mountains inav depart, and the hills be removed, but 1 will never fail you." And then as the soul thinks the news is too good to be true, and cannot believe it, and looks up in God's face.

God lifts His right hand and takes an oath, an affidavit, saying: "As 1 live, saith the Ijord (iod, I have no pleasure in the death of him that dieth." Blessed be God for such gospel as this. "Cut tho slices thin," said the wife to the husband, "or there will not be enough to go all around for the children cut tho slices thin." Blessed le God there is full loaf for every one that wants it! Bread enough and to spare. No thin slices at the l/jrd's table. I remember when tho Master Street hospital, iu Philadelphia, was C]eued

during tho war, a telegram came, saying "There will lo 1100 wounded mon to-night bo ready to take care of them and from my church thero went somo twenty or thirty men and women to look after these poor

wound.-d fellows. As they came, somo from one part of the land, some from another, no one asked whether this man was from Oregon, or from Massachusetts, or fr»m Minnesota, or from New York. There was a wounded soldier, and tho only question was how to take olF the rags tho most gently, and put on the bandage, and administer the cordial. And when a soul comes to God, Ho does not ask where you came from or what your ancestry was. Healing for all your wounds. Pardon for all your guilt. Comfort for all your trouhlos.

Then, also, I counsel you, if you want to get back, to quit all your bad associations. One unholy intimacy will fill your soul with

moral distenqer. Iu all tho ages of tho church there has not been an instanco where a man kept ono evil associato and was reformed. (io homo today, open your desk, take out letter j)aier, stamp and euvelope, and then write a letter something like this: "My Old Comj)anions—I start this day for heaven. Until I am jersuaded you will join mo in this, farewell."

Then sign your name and send tho letter by the first |ost. Givo up your bad companions or give up heaven. It is not ten bad companions that destroy a man, nor fivo bad companions, nor three bad companions, nor two bad couqanions, but one. What chance is there for that young man I saw along the street, four or fivo young men with him, halting in front of a grogshop, urging him to go in, he resisting, violently resisting, until after a while they force him to go in! It was a summer night and tho door was left open, and I saw the process. They held him fast, and they put the cup to his lips, and they forced down tho strong drink. What chanoe is there for such a young mau?

I counsel you, also, seek Christian advice. Every Christian man is bound to help you. If you find no other human ear willing to listen to your story of struggle, come to me, and I will by every sympathy of my heart, and every prayer, and every toil of my hand, stand Inside you in the struggle for reformation and as I hope to have my own sins forgiven. and hopo to be acquitted at the judgment sent of Christ, I will not betray you. First of all, seek God then seek Christian counsel. Gather up all the energies of body, mind and soul, and, appealing to God for success, declare this day everlastiug war against all drinking habits, all gaming practices, all houses of sin. Half and hilf.work will amount to uothing it must be

It is not becauso you are naturally any bet^ ter, but because the mercy of God has protected you. Whoaroyou, that, brought up in Christian circles and watched by Christian parentage, you should bo so hard on tho fallen?

Water

loo. Shrink back now aud you are lost. Push on and you are saved. A Spartan general fell at the very moment of victory, but ho dipped his finger in his own blood, and wrote on a rock near which he was dying: "Sparta has conquered." Though your struggle to get rid of sin may seem to bo almost a death struggle, you can dip your finger in your own blood, and write on the iiock of Ages: "Victory though our Lord Jesus Christ." Ohl what glorious news it would bo for some of these young men to send home to their parents in the country. They go to tho postoffice every day or two to see if thore are any letters from you. How anxious they are to hear! Nothing would please them half so much as the news you might send home tomorrow that you had given your heart to God. 1 know how it is in the country. Tho night conies on. The cattle stand under the rack through which bursts tho trusses of I hay. The horses just having frisked up I through the meadow at the night

Call,

stand

kneo deep in tho bright straw that invites I them to lie down and rest. The perch of the hovel is full of fowl, their feet warm under the feathers. In the old farm house at night no candle is lighted, for the flames clap their hands about the great backlog, and shake the shadow of the group up and dowu tho

wall. Father and mother sit there for half an hour, saying nothing. I wonder what thev are thinking of. After a while tho I father breaks tho silenco and says: "Well, I wonder where our boy is iu town to-night and the mother answers: "In no bad place, I I warrant you: we always could trust him when he wtis home, and since he has been awav there have been so many prayers offered for him w© can trust him still."

Then at 3 o'clock—for they retire early ir4 the country—at 8 o'clock they kneel down and commend you to thAt God who watches in country and in town, on the land and on the soa.

Some ono said to a Grecian general: "What was the proudest moment of your life?" He thought a moment and said: "Tho proudest moment of my life was when I sent word home to my parents that I had gained tho victory." And the proudest and most brilliant moment in your life will be tho moment when you can send word to your parents in tho country that you have conquered your evil habits, by tho grace of God, and become eternal victor. Oh! despiso not parental anxiety. Tho time will come whan you will have neither father nor mother, and you will go round the place where they used to watch and find them gone from tho house, and gone from the field, and gone from the neighlxjrhood. Cry as loud for forgiveness as you may over tho mound in the churchyard, they will not answer. Dead! Dead! And then you will take out tho white lock of hair that was cut from your mother's brow just before they buried her, and you will take the cane with which your father used to walk, ami you will thiuk and think, and wish that you had done just as they wanted you to, and would give the world if you had never thrust a pang through their dear old hearts. God pity the young man who has brought disgrace on his father's name. God pity tho young man who has broken his mother's heart. Better if he had never been born— better if, in the first hour of his life, instead of being laid against the warm bosom of maternal tenderness, he had been coffined and sepulchred. Tliero is no balm powerful enough to heal the heart of one who has brought parents to a sorrowful grave aud who wanders about through the dismal cemetery, rending tho hair and wringing the hands, and crying: "Mother! mother!" Oh, that today, by all the memories of the past, and by all tho hopes of the future, you would yield your heart to God. May your father's

God and your mother's God bo your God forever.

""TO Buflprinp humanity would follow a discontinuance of tinhabit of using cathartic pilln and compounds and severe diuretics. They tear down, wear out and de-i-troy. By arousing the kidneys and liver to unnatural activity, they seem to relieve distress, but the relief is only temporary, as the CUUKCS of physical disorder are nut reinovtd any more so than a weary horse can be refreshed by a severe whipping he may go a little farther, but will eventually drop dead in his tracks. A remedy that will strengthen the weak portions, remove impurities of the blood and general system, and gently stimulate tho appetite, is what is needed by the majority of dyspeptics and sufferers from sore and clogging kidneys. Such a remedy is Dr.
