-IIES AND THEIR EFFECTS.)

TALMAGE'3 FIFTH PLAGUE SERMON. Ftvlianoods Considered Agricultural, Mer.til. Mechanical, Eeclssifistloal and Boeial Liars Tii Air of City nod Country Filled with Falsehood!. "The Fla;xe of Lies" was selected by Dr. Talcnaee for the subject of the fifth of his discourses on "The Placrues of These Three Cities," which he preached Sunday. Both at the morning service in Brooklyn and at the evening service under the auspices of the Christian Herald in New York, the vast building were not large enough to hold more than one-half the crowd who came to hear the 6ermon. His text waa Genesis iii, 4: "Ye shall not surely die." That was a point black lie. Satan told it to Eve to induce her to put her semicircle of white, beautiful teetn into a forbidden apricot, or plum, or peach, or apple. He practically said to her: "Oh, Eve! just take a bite of this and you will be omnipotent and omniscient. You shall bo as gods." Just opposite was tho result. It was the first lie that was ever told in our world. It opened the gate for all the falsehoods that have ever alighted on this planet It introduced a plague that covers all nations the plague of lies. Far worse than the plagues of Epypt, for they were on the banks of tho Nile, but this on the banks of the Hudson, on the banks of the Ei st river, on the banks of the Ohio, and the Mississippi, and the Thames, and the Rhine, and the Tiber, and on both sides of all rivers. Tho Egyptian plagues lasted only a few weeks, but for eix thousand years has raged this plague of lies. There are a hundred ways of tellinjj a lie. A man's entire life may be a falsehood, while with his lips he may not once directly falsify. There are those who state what is positively untrue, but afterward ay, "May be," "softly. These departures from the truth are called "white lies;" but there is really no euch thing aa a white lie. The whitest lie that was ever told was as black as perdition. No inventory of public crimes will be sufficient that omits this gigantic abomination. There are men, high in church and state, actually useful, self-denying and honest in many things, who, upon certain eubjects, and in certain spheres, are not at : all to be depended upon for veracity. Indeed there are many men and women . who have their notions of truthfulness so thoroughly perverted that they do not know when they are lying. With many it is a cultivated sin; with some it seems a natnral infirmity. I have knowa pco?le who seemed to have been born liars, he falsehoods of their lives extended from the cradle to the grave. Prevarications, misrepresentation, and dishonesty of speech appeared in their first utterances, and was as natural to them as any of their infantile diseases, and were a sort of moral croup or spiritual scarlatina. Bat many have b -en placed in circumstances where this tendency has day by day, and hour by hour, been called to larger development. They have gone from attainment to attainment, and from class to class, until they have become regularly graduated liars. The air of the city is filled with falsehoods. They han pendant from the chandeliers of our finest residences; they crowd the shelves of some of our merchant princes; they fill the sidewalks from curbstone to brown stone facing. They clueter -round tho mechanic's hammer, and blossom from the end of the merchant's yard-slick, and fit in tho doors of the churches. Some call them "fiction." (fome style them "fabrication." You might say" that they were subterfuge, dinguise, delusion, romance, evasion, pretense, fable, deception, misrepresentation; but, as I am ignorant of anything to be gained by the hiding of a (ioddefying outrage under a lexicographer's blanket, I shall chiefly call them what my father taught me to call them lies. I shall divide them it. to agricultural, mercantile, mechanical, ecclesiastical and eocia' lies. First, then, I will speak of those that are more particularly agricultural. There is something in the perpetual presence of natural objects to make a man pure. The trees never i?sue "false stock." Wheat fields are always honest live and oata taever move out in the niaht, not paying lor the place they have occupied. Corn shocks never make falae assignments. Mountain brooks are always "current." The gold on the grain is never counterfeit. The sunrise never flaunts In colors. The dew sports only genuine diamonds. Taking farmers as a class I believe they are truthful and fair in dealing, and kindhearted. But the regions 6urroundineour cities do not always send this sort of men to our markets. Day by day there creak . through our streets, and about the market houses, farm wagons that have not an honest spoke in their wheels, or a truthful rivet from tongue to tailboard. During the last few years there have been times when domestic economy has foundered on the farmer's firkin. Neither high taxes, nor the high price of dry poods, nor the exorbitancy of labor could excuse much that the city has witnessed in the behavior of the yeomanry. Hy the quiet firesides In Westchester and Orange counties I hope there may be seasons of deep reflection and hearty repentance. Rural districts are accustomed to rail at great cities as given up to fraud and every form of unrighteousness; but our cities do not absorb all the abominations. Our citizens have learned the importance of not always trusting to the ize and style of apples in the top of a farmer's barrel as an indication of wht may be found farther down. Many of our people are accustomed to watch and Bee how correctly a bushel of beets is measured ; and there are not many honest mi.k cans. Deceptions do not all cluster round city halls. When our cities sit down and weep over their sins, all the surrounding countries ouurht to come in and weep with them. There is often hostility on the part of producers againt traders, as though the man who raises the corn was necesnarily more honorable than the grain dealer, who pours it into his mammoth bin. There ought to be no euch hostility. Yet producers often think it no wrong to snatch sway from the trader; and they say to the barga'n-maker, "You get your money eay." Do they get it easy? " Let those who in the quiet field and barn get their living exchange places with those who stand today amid the excitements of commercial life, and see if they find it so very easy. While the farmer goes to sleep with the assurance that his corn and barley will be growing all the night, moment by moment adding to the revenue, the merchant tries to go to sleep, conscious that that moment his cargo may be broken on the rockc, or damaged by the wave that sweeps clear across the hurricane deck ; or that reckless speculators may, that very hour, be plotting some monetary revolution, or the burglars be prying opn his safe, or his debtors fleeing the town, or his landlord raising the rent, or the fires kindling on the block that contains all his estates.

Easy! Is it? God help the merchants! It is hard to have the puiros of the hands blistered with outdoor work; but a more dreadful process when, through mercantile anxieties, the brain is consumed! In the next place we notice me cantile lies, those before the. counter and behind the counter. I will not attempt to specify the di.Torcnt forms cf commercial falsehood. There are merchants who excuse themselves for deviation from truthfulness because of what they call commercial custom. In other words", Che multiplication and universality of a sin turns it into a virtue. There haw been lare fortunes leathered where there was not one drop of unrequited toil in the wine; not one spark of had temper ilahing from tho bronze bracket ; not one drop of needlewoman's heart-blood in the crimson fvnsh; white there are other great estabishuients in which there i3 not one doorknob, not one brick, not one trinket, not one thread of lace, but has upon it the mark of dishonor. What wonder if, some day, a hand of toil that had been wrung, and worn out. and blistered until the skin came off, should be placed against the e'egant wall-paper, leaving its mark of blood lour linger and a thumb; or that, some day, walking the halls, there should ba a voice acco.-ting the occupant, saying, ".Six cents for making a shirt ;'" and, hying the room, another voice shomd say, "Twelve cents for an army blanket;" and the man should try to sleep at night, but ever and anon be aroused, until getting up on ono elbow, he should shriek out, "Who's there?" One Sabbath night, in the vestibule of my church after service, a woman fell in convulsions. The doctor said she needed medicine not so much as something to eat. As she began to revive in her delirium, she said gaspingly: "Eight cents! Eight cents! I wish 1 could get it done ; lam so tired! I wish I could get some sleep; but I mint g?t it dona! Light cents! Eight cents!" We found afterward that she was making garments for 8 cents apiece, and that she could make but three of them in a day! Three times eight are twenty-four! Hear if, men and women who have comfortable homs! Some of the worst villains of the city are the employers of these women. They Leat them down to the last penny and try to cheat them out of that. The woman must deposit a dollar or two before sho getrf the garments to work on. When the work is dou it is sharply inspected, the most insignificant ilans picked out and the wages refused, and sometimes the dollar deposited not given back. The Woman's protective union reports a case where one of these poor souls, finding a place whore she could pet more wages, resolved to chango employers, and went to get her pay for work done. Tho employer says: "I hear you are going to leave me?'' "Yes," she said, "and I am come to get what vou owe me." Ho made no answer.

She said, "Ar? vou net going to pa "Yes," he said," "I will pav you ;" av me and he KicKeu ner down the stairs. There are thousands of fortunes made in commercial spheres that are throughout righteous. Ood will let his favor rest upon every scroll, every pictured wall, every traceried window; ani the joy that flashes from the light", and showers from the music, and dances in the children's quick feet, pattering through the hall, will utter the congratulations of men and the approval of (iod. A merchant can, to the last item, be thoroughly hon st. There is never any need of falsehood. Yet how many will, day bv day, hour by hour, utter what they know to be wrong. You say that you are se ling at lesd than co.t. If so, then it is rigtit to say it. But did that cost you less than what vou ask for it? If not, then you have falsified. Youeav that that article cost you $25. Did it? If so, then all r.ght. It it did not, then you have falsified. "Suppose you are a purchaser. You are "beating down" the goods. You say that that article for which i3 is charged is not worth more than S4. Is it worth no more thanSl? Then alt right. If it be worth more, and for the sake of getting it for less than its value, you willfudy depreciate it, you have falsifie 1. You may call it sharp trade. The recording angel write it down on the ponderous tomes of eternity : "Mr. So and fo, merchant on Water-st., or in E i.abeth-st, or in State-st; or Mrs. So and So, keeping house on Beacon-sL, or on Madis n-ave., or Kittenhoune square, or Brooklyn Heights of Brooklyn Hill, told one falsehood." You may consider it insignificant, because relating to an insignificant purchase. You would despise the man who would falsify in regard to some great matter, in which the city or the whole country was concerned; but this is only a box of buttons, or a row of pins, or a case of needles. Be not de-eived. The article purchased may be so small you can put it in your vest pocket, but the sin was bigger than the pyramids, and the echo of the dishonor will reverberate through all the mountains of eternity. You throw on your counter some specimens of handkerchiefs. Your customer asks, "Is that all silk! no cotton in it?" You answer "It is all silk." Was it all silk? If so. all right. But was it part y cotton? Then you have falsified. Moreover, you lost by the falsehood. The customer, though he mav live at Lynn, or Doykstown, or PoughL-epsie, will find out that you have defrauded him, and next spring, when he again comes shopping, he will look at vour sign and say. "I will not try there. That is the place where I cot that handkerchief." So that by that one dishonest bargain you picked" your own pocket and insulted the Almighty. Woutl you dare to make an estimate of how many falsehoods in trade were yesterday told by hardware men, and clothiers, and fruit dealers, and dry goods establishments, and importers, and jewelers, and lumbermen, and coal merchants, and stationers, and tobacconists? Lies about Eaddles, about buckles, about ribbons, about carpets, about gloves, about coats, about shoes, about hats, about watches, about carriages, about booksshout evervthing. In the name oi the Lord Almighty I arraign commercial falsehoods as one of the greatest plagues in city and town. In the next placw. I notice mechanical lies. There is no class of men who administer more to the welfare of the city than artisnns. To their hand we must look for the building that shelters us, for the garments that clothe us, for the car that carries us. They wield a widespread influence. There is much derision of what is called "muscular Christianity ;" but in the latter day of the world's prosperity I think that the Christian will be muscular. We have a right to expect of those stalwart men of toil the highest possibly integrity. Many of them answer all our expettations and "stand at the front of religious and philanthropic enterprises. But this c'as, like the others that I have named, has in it those who lack in the element of veracity. They cannot all be trusted. In times when the demand for labor is great, it is impossible to n eet the demand of the public, or do work with that promptness and perfection that would at other times be possible. But there are mechanics whose word can not be trusted at any time. No man has a right to promise more work than he can do. There are mechanics who say that they will come on Monday, but they do not come until Wednesday. You put work in their hands that they tell you shall be completed in ten days, but it is thirty. There have been houses built of which it might be said that every nail driven, every foot of plastering put on, every yard of pipe laid, every shingle hammered, every brick mortared cou.d tell of falsehood connected therewith. There are men v. ho aro atteinptins to do

ten or fifteen pieces of work who have not the time or strength to do more than rive or six pieces, but by promises never fulfided keep all the undertakings within their own grasp. This is what they call "nursing" the job. How much wrong to his soul and insult to God a mechanic would save if he promised only so much as he expected to be able to do. Society has no light to ask of you impossibilities. You can not always calculate correctly, and you may fail because you can not get the help that you anticipate. But now I am speaking of the willful making of promises that you know you can not k-ep. Did you say that that shoe should be mend d, that co.it repaired, those bricks laid, that harness s wed. that door grained, that spout fixed, or that window glazed by Saturday, knowing that you would neither he able to do it yourself nor get any one else to do it? Then, before God aud man you are a liar. You may say that it makes no particular difference, and that if you had told the truth you would have lost the job, and that people expect to be disappointed. But that excuse will not answer. There is a voice of thunder rolling among the drills, and planes, and shoe-lasts, and shear-, which says: "All liars shall have their part in the lake that burnetii with fire and br.mstone." I next notice ecclesiastical lies : that is, falsehoods told for the purpose of advancing churches and sects, or for the purpose of depleting th-m. There is no use in asking many a Calvinist what an Arminian believes, for lie will he apt to tell you that the Arminian believes that a mn con convert himself; or to ask the Arminian what the Calvinist believes, for he will tell you that the Calvini-t believes that tod made some men jut to damn them. There is no need of asking a p;rdo-baptist what a baptist believes, for he will be apt t say that the baptist believes immersion to be positively necessary to salvation. It is almost impossible for one denomination of Christians, without prejudice or misrepresentation, to state the sentiment of an opposing sect. If a man Ihntes presbyterians. and you ask him what presbyterians bdieve.'he will tell you that they believe that there are infants in hell a span long. It is strange, also, how individual churches will sometimes make misstatements about other individual churches. It is especially so in regard to falsehoods told with reference to prosperous enterprises. As lone as a church is feeble, and the singing in discordant, and the minister through the poverty of the church must g with a threadbare coat, and here and there a worshiper sits in tho end of a pew, having- all the sent to himself, religious sympathizers of other ci.urches will say: "What a pity !" But, let a great day of prosperity coine, and even ministers ot the gospel, who ought to be rejoiced at t ie largeness and extent cf the work, devjunco and misrepresent, and fa'sify, Etarting the suspicion in regard to themselves that the reason they do not like the corn is becnus-3 it is not ground in their own mill. How long before we shall learn to be fair in our n-ligious criticisms? The keenest jealousies on earth aro church jealousies. The field of Christian work is so large that there is no need that our hoehan dies hit. Next I speak of social lies. This evil makes much of society insincere. Yon know not what to believe. When people ask you to come you do not know whether or not they want you to come. When they send their regards you do not know whether it is an expression of their heart or an external civility. We have learned to take almost everything at a discount. Word is sent, "Not "at ho;ne," when they are only too lazy to dress then-selves. They say, "The furnace has just gone out," when in truth they have had no lire in it all winter. They apologize for tho unusual barrenness of their table, when thev never live any better. They decry their most luxurious entertainments to win a shower of apbrov.il. They apologize for their appearance, as though it were unusual, when always at home they look just so. They would make you bel'eve that some nice sketch on the wall was the work oi a master painter. "It was an heirloom, and once hung on the wails of a castle, and a duke cave it to their grandfather," when the fact is that painting was made by a man, "down Last," and baked 60 as to make It look old, and gold with others for SO a dozen. People who will lie about nothing else will lie about a picture. On a small income we must make the world believe that we are allluent, ami our life becomes a cheat, a counterfeit and a sham. Few persons are really natural. When I say this I do not mean to slur cultured manners. It is right that we should have more admiration for the eculptured marble than for the unknown block of the quarry. From many circles in life insincerity has driven out vivacity and enthu-sia-m. A frozen dignity, instead, floats

about the room and iceberg grinds against iceberg, l ou u must not Jaugh outright; You must smi'e. You must it is vulgar. not dash rapidly across the room; you must glide. There is a round of bows and grins and flatteries and oh'sland ah's! and simpering and nambypambvism a world of which is not worth one good, round, honest peal of laughter. From such a ho. low round the tortured guest retires ai, the close of the evening, and assures his host that he has enjoyed himse f ! What a round of insincerities many peo-. pie run in order to win the favor of the world. Their life is a sham and their death an unspeakable sadness. Alas for the poor butterflies when the frost strikes them. Compare the life and death of such a one with that of some Christian aunt who was once a blessing to your household. I do not know that 6he was ever offered the hand in marriage. She lived single, that untrammeled she might be everybody's blessing. Whenever the sick were to be visited, or the poor to be pruvided with bread, she went with a blessing. She could pray, or sing "Bock of Ages" for any sick pauper who asked her. As she got older, there were days when she was a little sharp, but lor the most part auntie was a sunbeam just the one for Christmas Eve. Sho knew better than anyone else how to fix things. How every prayer as (iod heard it, was full of everybodv who had trouble. The brightest things "in all the house dropped from her fingers. She had peculiar notions, but the grandest notion she ever had was tomakf you happy. She dressed well auntie always dressed well but her highest adornment was that of a meek and quiet spirit, which, in the sight of God, is of great price. When Bhe died you all gathered lovingly about her; and as you carried her out to rest the Sunday-school class almost covered the collin with japonieas, and the poor people stood at the end of the alley with their aprons to their eves, sobbing bitterly; and the man of tho world said, with Solomon, "Her price was above the rubies;" and Jesus, as unto the maiden in Judea, commnnded, "I say unto thee, arise!" But to many through insincerity this life is a masquerade ball. As, at such entertainments, gentlemen and ladies appear in the dress of kings and queens, mountain bandits or clowns, and at the close of the dance throw off their disguises : so, in this dissipate I life, all unclean passions move in mask. Across the floor thev trip merrily. The lights sparkle along the wall or drop from the ceiling a cohort of fire. The music charms. Tho diamonds glitter. The feet bound. Gemmed hands stretched out clasp gemmed hands. Dancing fet respond to dancing feet. Gleaming brow bends to gleaming brow. On with the dance! Flash, and rustle, and laughter, and im-

Sfijjol.

A cough or cold is a spy which has stealthily come inside the lines of health

and is there to discover some vulnerable point in the fortification of the constitution which is guarding your well-being. That point discovered the spy reports it to the enemy on the outside. The enemy is the changeable winter climate. If the cold gets in, look out for an attack at the weak point. To avoid this, shoot the spy, kill the cold, using SCOTT'S EMULSION of pure Norwegian Cod Liver Oil and Hypophosphites of Lime and Soda as the weapon.

A 15 Per CnU Advance Sine the McRInley Art V The Pittsburg 'o.- today publishes two interviews showing that American manufactured tinplato is no factor in the market that it is not even taken into consideration by the merchants. Rich American tin mines are said to exist, but they are undevotVl. John i3unlap, who has been importing tinpUte for fifty years, said: "I have no great hopes for the tinp-Mte industry in this country. The average advance in the price of tinplate over the price a year ago is about 15 per cent.." Although an independent republican in politics Mr. Dunlap is opposed to t'te tinplate tariff, and is perfectly satisfied to have tha piate manufactured in England. He was enthusiastically in favor of the Mills bill. He has made a fortune out of the tin business, and is the father-in-law of the senior proprietor of the CummcrciaMJa:elte, a high tariff organ of the moot pronounced typeJames K Scott or Scott tt Co.. big importers ot tinplate said: "Foreign tin is used in the manufacture of plate, and I don't think there is any American tin on the market, at le?st not in any quantLy. The output of any American tinplate pant or tin made is so insignificant that merchants give it scarcely any attention. Since the passage of the McKinley bill the prico has advanced about 13 per cent' One of the Demmler brothers of the United States iron and tinplate company, the first of the kind in America, who r4uit the business following Secretary Fessenden's decision several years ago, said: "We are making some tinplate c our mill, but not in any larte quantities. Imported tin is used, and I don't know that there is any American b ocK tin on the market. There are tin mines in Dakota, but I do not know whether they are producing at present. We have been told that the San Jacinto tin company of California made its first bar of pig tin Ia-t month. The advance in the price of tin plate during the last year was about 15 per cent. 1 II. Laufman & Co., the Apollo iron and 6teel company, and ourselves are the only firms about Pittsburg making tinplate. Lewis Bros., consulting engineers, who are interested in the building of plants, said: "At the tin mines at Harney Peak, S. D., there are half a million tons of ore piled up, and the owners are putting in a concentrating plant and smelting furnaces. They have been waiting for railroad facilities." A DANGEROUS ROQtVl-MATE.

Tom Smith recently toid a reporter of an adventure ne had one night last week. "i:ht overtook him near an old cabin, but as the Indian custom of burying the dead in their houses and then moving away flashed upon him, he decided to sleep under a tree at some little distance, and thus avoid a possible interview with an aboriginal spook. In the night a rain set in, and he got up and went in the cabin and shut the door to keep out tho rain and water. He wrapped his blanket around him and lay down. Presently he heard a growling and whining, but he paid no attention to it. The growls and whines grew fierce aud louder, but he lay quiet, trying to go asleep. The animal ran around the walls, scratching and yelling in a way to make one feel very uncotnfortab e and make euch a thing as sleep impossible. It was a panther. Finally Smith concluded that the beast was not going to be quiet and let him rest, so he got up and opened the door and let it out. Then he lay down and s'ept without further disturbance until morning.. A Frank Dealer. IPuck.J Customer (to cigar dealer, who is in the act of handing out a 5-cent cigar) "No, no! Not that kind!"

INDIANA MILLIONAIRES. The lion. TV II. Kntl!sJ Sjm There Are Not 31ire TIiad a Dnzrn. The Hon. W. II. English being asked by a Sentinel reporter whether he had stated, as represented in the Chicago Herald, that the late Abner II. Bowenof De-phi was the wealthiest man in Indiana when he died, replied that he had not, and furthermore that he did not know anything of Mr. Bowen or his estate. Mr. English added that a further statement he had seen in another paper, that Mr. James Cheney of Fort Wayne was worth $14,000,000, was, no doubt, an enormous exaggeration, and the same he bedeved was the case with r.int'ty-nine out of every hundred estimates in the newspapers of the value of the estates of persons supposed to be very wealthy. His own estate had generally been represented at from five to ten times as much as it reallv is, and he had seen many estimates of tlic wealth of others ha was sure were equally exaggerated. Mr. Kn;x ish says there aro no great fortunes in Indiana, metsured by tho modern standards. He does not believe there are a dozen millionaires in Indiana, and doubis very much whether there is a man in the state who is worth to exceed Sl'.OOO.OOO. Speaking of wealthy Indianians, a local banker snid the other dav: "The richest man in Indiana is either John l'ass of Fort Wayne, Clem S:udebaker of South I'end, or V. II ('Riley') MeKeen of Terre Haute. John B:iss is the greatest car-wheel manufacturer in the world. He owns great snops in Fort Wayne, Chicago and St. Louis, and has valuable iron mines, coal mines and extensive robing mills in Alabama. A year or two ago he was offered ij-'.oUO.OOO by an Engliah syndicate for thesa properties. He is also a very larce owner of real estate and has several hundred thousand dollars of stock in Fort Wayne and Chicago banks. Clem Stndebaker is at the head of the greatest wazon manufactory on earth. He owns a great deal of valuable real estate in northern Indiana and also in Chicago. He is also a large owner ot bank stock and railway securities. His brothers are supposed to be nearly as wealthy as he. iuley Mckocn is 'as rich as cream, and my opinion is that his fortune is the greatest in Indiana, although I should not venture to give any figures for it.
