The Spreading Evil of Suicide the Worst of Crimes.

Infidelity and Self-Destruction Go Hand In Hand—Dr. Talmage'a Sermon for tlie Press.

The Rev. Dr. Talmage, who is now abroad, selected as the subject for last Sunday's sermon through the press the word "Suicide," the text being Acts xvi, 27, 28: He drew out his sword and would have killed himself, supposing that the prisoners had been fled. But Paul cried with a loud voice, saying, Do hyself no harm."

Here is a would-be suicide arrested in his deadly attempt. He was a sheriff, and according to the Roman law a bailiff himself must suffer the punishment due an escaped prisoner, and if the prisoner breaking jail was sentenced to be endungeoned for three or four years then the sheriff must be endungeoned for three or four years, and if the prisoner breaking jail was to have suffered capital punishment then the sheriff must suffer capital punishment.

The sheriff had received cspecial charge to keep a sharp lookout for Paul and Silas. The government had not had confidence in bolts and bars to keep safe these two clergymen, about whom there seemed to be something strange and supernatural.

Sure enough, by miraculous power they are free, and the sheriff, waking out of a sound sleep, and supposing these ministers have run away, and knowing that they wei*e to die for preaching Christ, and realizing that he must die, rather than go under the executioner ax on the morrow and suffer public disgrace, resolves to precipitate his own decease. But before the sharp, keen, glittering dagger of the sheriff could strike his heart one of the unloosened prisoners arrests the blade by the command, "'Do thyself no harm."

Times have changed, and yet the American conscience needs to be toned up to the subject of suicide. Have you seen a paper in the last tnonth that did not announce the passage out of life by one's own behest? Defaulters, alarmed at the idea of exposure, quit life precipitately. Men losing large fortunes [o out of the world because they can •not endure earthly existence. Frustrated affection, domestic infelicity, dyspeptic impatience, anger, envy, remorse, jealousy, destitution, misanthropy, ai*e considered sufficient causes for absconding from this life bv pai'is green, by laudanum, by belladonna, by Othello's dagger, by halter, by leap from the abutment of a bridge, by firearms. More cases of "felo de se" in the last two years of the world's existence. The evil is more and more SDreading.

Scotland, the land prolific of intel(ectual giants, had none grander than Hugh Miller, great for science and ?reat for God. He came of the best Highland blood, and he was a descendant of Donald Roy, a man eminent for his piety and "the rare gift second sight. His attainments, 2limbinsr up as he did from the quarry and the wall of the stonemason, a'rew forth the astonished admiration nf Buckland and Murchison, the scientists, and Dr. Chalmers, the theologian, and held universities spellbound while he told them what ae had seen of God in the old red sandstone.

That man did more than any man that ever lived to show the God of the hills in the God of the Bible, and lie struck his tuning fork on the rocks of Cromarty until he brought geology and theology accordant in ilivine worship. His two books, entitled "Footprints of the Creator'' and the "Testimony of the Rocks," Disclaimed the bans'of an everlasting marriage between genuine science •nul revelation. On this latter bookhe toiled day and night through love of nature and love of God until he could not sleep, until his brain gave wav, and he was found dead with a revolver by his side, the cruel instrument having had two bullets—one for him and the other for the gunsmith, who, at the coroner's inquest, was examining it and fell dead. Have you any doubt of the beatification of Hugh Miller after his hot brain had»ceased throbbing that winter night in his study at Portebello?

While we make this merciful and righteous allowance in regard to those who were plunged into mental incoherence I declare that the man who in the use of his reason by his own act snaps the bond between his1 bodv and soul goes straight into perdition. Shall I prove it? Revelations xxi, 8: "Murderers shall have their part in the lake which burnetii with fire and brimstone." Revelations xxii, 15: "Without are dogs and sorcerers and whoremongers and murderers." You do not believe the New Testament? Then perhaps you believe the ten commandments. "Thou shalt not kill." Do you say all these passages refer to the taking of the life of others? Then I ask you if you are not as responsible for your own life as for the life of others? God gave you a special trust in your life.

To show how God in the Bible looked upon this crime I point you to the rogues' picture gallery in some parts of the Bible, the pictures of the people who have committed this unnatural crime. Here is the Jieadlcss trunk of Saul on the walls Of Bathshan. Here is the man who chased little David—ten feet in stature chasing four. Here is the man

who consulted a clairvoyant witch of Endor. Here is the man who, whipped in battle, instead of surrendering his sword with dignity, as many a man has done, asks his servant to slay him, and.when the servant declines then the servant plants the hilt of his sword in the earth, the point sticking upward, and he throws his body on it and expires, the coward, the suicide! Here is Ahithopel, the Machiavelli of olden times, betraving his best friend, David, in order that he may become prime minister of Absalom and joining that fellow in his attempt at parricide. Not getting what he wanted by politics he takes a short cut^ out of a disgraced life into the suicides eternity. There he is, the ingrate!

Here" is Abimeleoh, practically a suicide. He is with an army bombarding a tower, when a woman in the tower takes a grindstone from its place and drops it upon his head and with what life he has left in a cracked skull he commands his ar mor bearer. "Draw thv sword an.i slay me, least men say a woman slew mc." There is his post-mortem photograph in the book of Samuel. But the hero of this group is Judas Iscariot. Dr. Donne says he was a martyr, and we have in our day apologists for him. And what wonder, in this day, when we have a book revealing Aaron Burr as a pattern of virtue, and in this day when we uncover a statue to George Sand as a benefactress of literature, and this day when there are betrayals of Christ on the part of some of His pretended apostles—a betrayal so black it makes the infamy of Judas Iscariot white! Yet this man by his own hand hung up for the execration of all the are I udas Iscariot5'

You say it is business troubles, or you say it is electrical currents, or it is this, or it is that, or it is the other thing. Whv not go clear back, my friend, and acknowledge that in every case it is the abdication of reason or the teaching of infidelit_y, which practically says, "If you don't like this life get out of it." And }rou will land either in annihilation, where there are no notes to pay, no persecutions to suffer, no gout to torment, or you will land where there will be everything glorious and nothing to pay for it. Infidelity always has been apologetic for selfimmolation. After Tom Paine "Age of Reason" was published and widely read there was a marked increase of self-slaughter.

A man in London heard Mr. Owen deliver his infidel lecture on "Socialism" and went home and sat down and wrote these words: "Jesus Christ is one of the weakest characters in history, and the Bible Is the greatest possible deception," and then shot himself. David Hume wrote these words: "It would be no crime for mc to divert the Nile or the Danube from its natural bed. Where, then, can be the crime in my diverting a few drops of blood from their ordinary channel." And haying written the essay, he loaned it to a friend. The friend read it, wrote a letter of thanks and admiration and then shot himself."

Rousseau, Voltaire, Gibbon, Mon taigne, under certain circumstances, were apologetic for self-immolation. Infidelity puts up no bar to people's rushing out from this world into the next. They teach us it does not make any difference how you live here or go out of this world, vou will land either in an oblivious nowhere or a glorious somewhere. Ah! i'ifidelity, stand up and take thy sentence! In the presence of God and angels and men, stand up, thou monster, thy lip blasted with blasphemy, thy cheek scarred with lust, thy breath foul with corruption oi the ages. Stand up, satyr, filtlu goat, buzzard of the nations, leper of the centuries! Stand up, thou monster infidelity! Part man, part panther, part reptile, part dragon, stand up and take thy sentence! Thy hands red with the blood in which thou hast washed, thy feet crimson with the human gore through which thou hast waded, stand up and take thy sentence! Down with thee to the pit and sup on the sobs and groans of the families thou hast blasted, and roll on the bed of knives which thou hast sharpened for others, and let thy music be the everlasting miserere of those whom thou hast damned! I brand the foreheal of infidelity with all the crimes of self-immolation for the last century on the part of those who had their reason.

My friends, if ever your life through its abrasions and its molestations should seem to be unbearable, and you are tempted to quit it by your own behest, do not consider vouself as worse than others. Christ himself was tempted to cast himself from the roof of the temple, but as he resisted so resist ye. Christ came to medicine all our wounds. In your trouble I prescribe life instead of death. People who have had it worse than you will ever have it, have gone songful on their way. Remember that God keeps the chronology of your life with as much precision, your death as well as your birth, your grave as well as your cradle-

Why was it that at midnight, just at midnight, the destroying' angel struck the blow that set the Isrealites free from bondage? The 430 years were up at 12 o'clock that 'night. The 430 years were not up at 11, and 1 o'clock would have been too late. The 430 years were up at 12 o'clock, and the recording angel struck the blow, and Israel was free. And God knows just the hour when it is time to lead you up from earthly bondage. By His grace make not the worst of things, but the best of them. If you must take the pills, do not chow them. Your everlasting

reward will accord with your earthly perturbations, just as Caius gave to Agrippa a chain of gold as heavy as had been his chain of iron. For your asking you may have the same grace that was given to the Italian martyr, Algerius, who, down in the darkest of dungeons, dated his letter from "the delectable orchard of the Leonine prison."

There is a sorrowless world, and it is so radiant that the noonday sun is only the lowest doorstep, and the aurora that lights up our northern heavens, confounding astronomers as to what it can be, is the waving of the banners of the procession come to take the conquerors home from church militant to church triumphant, and you and I have 10,000 reasons for wanting to yo there, but we will never get there either by self immolation or impenitency. All our sins are slain by the Christ who came to do that thing, we want to go in at just the time (livineh* arranged and from a couch divinely spread, and then the clang of the opening of the solid pearl before us. O God, whatever others may choose, give me a Christian's life, a Christian's death, a Christian's burial, a Christian's immortality.

A i'LOSE SHAVE.

It Was Only By tin.: (ire at est Leniency That He Got Off.

I got to the bank in the morning as the colored porter was sleeping out, and at the same moment a colored drayman drove up and jumped down to inquire: "Say, Moses, how long befo' de bank opens?"

The porter, who was an oldish man, leaned on his broom and surveyed the newcomer critically for a moment and then asked: "Hev yo' got any bizness wid dis bank?" "Of co'se I hev." "Am dat bizness to git a check cashed?" "Yes, sah." "Kin yo' write ve'r name on de back of dat check?" "Of co'se. Don't yo'fink I don't know how to git a check cashed, 'cause 1 do."

"WHAT PLANT ASIIUX YO' CUM FROM "Boy," exclaimed the old man after another long look, "don't you try to make out dat yo' know too much! Mebbe yo' kin write vo' name, and mebbe yo' dunno whar de cashier's winder am. but don't yo' git to soarin' too 'high! Befo' yo' kin git de money vo has got to be den fitted." "Yo' knows who I am. "Does I? Let's ee 'bout dat. Let's see if I knows a yotn* man what driv's up hereto uiy bank slambang an' puts his hat on his year an spits around an sez he knows all bout bizness!"

He slowly and carefully took out a pair of spectacles and adjusted them and took a long survey before saying: "Boy, what plantashun yo' come from?" "No plantashun." "Whar yo' lib?" "Right yere in town, of co'se." "Workin' fur Mars Baker in de il.e mill?" "No. Yo' knows who I am. an' vo' knows dat's my dray.' "Dat's yo'r dray. eh? Lib right in town, do"you? dunno 'bout dat. Heaps o' tramp niggers^ cum along yere every day an claim to own drays an' lib in town. Wonder if de chief of police lias go do\vn yit,? "Say, Uncle Moses, I didn't mean no hurt!" protested the young man. "Oh, yo' didn't!" "No, sah, an' I'ze sorry if I hurt yo'r feelin's. Didn't mean to do it, an I axes yer pardin'." "Lemiue see!" mused the old' man as he looked at him again. "Cura to reckollect, yo'r name is Johnson." "Yes sah."

"Lib next doah to me?" "Yes, sah." "Drive a dray an' a yaller hoss?" "Yes sah." "Werry well, sah, werry well. When my bank opens, I'll help yo' write yo'r name on dat check an' den take yo' to de cashier and 'dentify yo, but don't yo' dun prance around no mo'! Yo' has jist had one of de clusest shaves from bein' annihilated by yo'r liberality of pomposity dat any young man eber embraced, and yo'd better keep powerful quiet fur de next fo' weeks!"

Harper's Magazine.

A couple about to be married were anxious that all their friends should attend the ceremony, but were in doubt as to the capacity of the church. Accordingly the young man went to the sexton and asked, "How many will the church seat?

The sexton considered the matter carefully for several minutes, and then replied reflectively: "We-eil, ord'narily it'll seat 'bout three hundred but if some'll sit with their legs hangin' over the organ loft, I guess it'll seat three hundred and ten."

A SIOUX SURPRISED.

He Was so Scared thsfc His Heart Stopped. A good many writers have asserted jthat an Indian is a born stoic, says the Ncw York Sun, and that the reason he 'doesn't laugh or cry or express surjprise or astonishment lies in the fact that nature did not intend him to. That 3 all nonsense, however. The Indian jiputs it all on for effect. I've heard '•them laugh as hearty as any white man. and I1 ve seeu them when they iwere positively thunderstruck with amazement.

In 1886 the hostiles got to attacking one of the stage routes into Julesburg, and after they had killed a dozen people a part of my company was sent out to give the rod man a setback. We rode over a section of the route one day, and toward evening secreted ourselves in a long, dry ravine, to see what would happen during the night. The stage was due there about 10 ,o'clock, and soon after 9 we got a surprise. A band of twenty-three Indians came in from the west, struck the trail just above us. and came down and laid themselves almost on top of us. We had our horses down around a bend, with guards to look after thera, and the Indians had left their ponies at some other point. We were back in the dark, where they could not see us, while they were at the mouth of the ravine and every man of them showed against the starlight sky. We knew what they were after and we prepared ourselves accordingly. There were twenty-eight of us, and we crept up inch by inch until, when we finally heard the"rattle of the stage coach, we were not overtwenty-tive feet from the bunch of marauders. We could hear and see them making ready, and just as they were about to dash out on the trail we gave them a volley.

Talk about an Indian not feeling surprised! Why, they yelled out like so many old women scared by a cow, and two or three of them shouted to t^e Great Spirit to save them as they ran. We killed nine and wounded four with that one volley, and only one of the wounded lived beyond two days. The survivor was a middleaged warrior, bearing the scars of many battles. I was asked to question him, and as he saw my purpose he shut himself up like a clam. I started off with: "Has my brother a glass in which to see his face?" "Why should I have?" he queried, interested at once. "To see that your hair has turned as white as the snow." "No! It can't be! Get me a glass quick!"

At that the group around him burst out laughing, and the warrior looked up with rueful expression and said: "I thought it was true. I was sc scared that my heart stopped beating!"

Beer In Great Britain.

The new official report of the condition of the English beer-brewing industry shows that Great Britain's 13, 658 breweries produced 20,644,000 barrels of beer in the last fiscal year. Bight breweries produced between 100,000 and 250,000 barrels, seven between 250,000 and 500,000 barrels, three between 500,000 and 3,000.000 barrels, and one more than 1,000,. -700 barrels.

A good example. —Canvasser— '-Yes, it is early, but I'm a morning glory— open out early." Victim—"I hope you'll emulate that flower, too, in shutting up before noon."
