..V* give below the tenth discourse of Rev. T. DeWltt Talmage’s aeries on “The Marriage Ring," delivered in the Brooklyn Taliernacle, the subject being ‘The Sisters’ InH^enoe Upon the Brothers.” The text wan:

mr on, to 111 w MI would be done to him.—[Kxodus II, 4. Ur. Talmage a aid: j Prtooeea Thermutla, daughter ot Ph%ruoh , looking out through the lattice of her bething-houae, on the banka of the Nile, saw a curious boat on the river. It had neither oar nor helm, and they would hare been useless anyhow. There was only one passenger and that a baby boy. But the Mayflower that brought the Pilgrim fathers to America carried not so preoious a load. The boat was made of the broad leave* of papyrus tightened together by bitumen. "Boats were sometimes made of that miterial, as we learn'from Pilny and Herodotus and Theophrastus. “Kill all the Hebrew children born,” had been Pharaoh's order. To save her boy, Jocliebed, the mother of little Moses, had put him in that queer boat and launched him. His sister Miriam stood on the bank watching that precious craft. Bhe was far enough off not to draw attention to the boat, but near enough to offer piotection. There she stands on the bank. Miriam the poetess, Miriam, the quick-witted, Miriam the faithful, though very human, for in after time she became so mad with that very brother for marrying a woman she did not like, that she made a great family row and was struck with leprosy. Miriam was a splendid sister, but had f her faults, like all the rest cf us. How 1 carefully she watched the boat containing \ her brother! A strong wind might upset it. The buffaloes found there might in a sudden plunge of thirst sink it. Borne ravenous water fowl might swoop and pick his eye#out with iron beak.'Some crocodile er hippopotamus crawling through the rushes might crunch the babe. Miriam watched and watched until Princess Thermutis, a maiden on each side of her holding palm leaves over her head to shelter her from the sun, came down and entered her bathing house. When from the lattioeshe saw that boat she ordered it brought, and when the leaves were pulled back from the face of the child and the boy looked up he cried aloud, for he was hungry and frightened, "Would" not even let the Princess him. The infant would rather hungry than acknowledge any > of the court as mother. Now Miriam, 3 sister, incognito, no one suspecting her Ration to the child, leaps from the bank nd rushes down and offers to get a nurse pacify the child. Consent is given. ) brings Jochebed, the baby's mother, r incognito, not sure of .the court knowing > that she was the mother, and when Joohebed an-ived the child stopped crying, for its fright was calmed and its hunger appeased. You may admire Jochtebed, the mother, and all the ages may admire Moses, but I clap my hands in applause at the behavior of Miriam, the faithful, brilliant and strategic sister. “Go home,” some one might have said to Miriam. “lV%y risk yourself out there alone on the banks of the Nile, breathing: the miasms and in danger of being: attacked of wild beast or ruffian; go homo.” No; Miriam, the sister, most lovingly .watched and bravely defended Moses, the brother. Is he worthy of her care and courage? Oh, yes; .the sixty centuries of the world's history have never had so much involved in the arrival of any ship at any port as in the landing of that tpyrus boat caulked with bitumen. Its or® aassenger was to be a none such in tal#Jry• ^Lawyer, statesman, politician, lepcator, organiser, conqueror, deliverer, * ttgiad such remarkable beauty in childhood that Josephus , says, when he was carjried along the road people stopped to gase at him, and workmen would leave thdir work to admire him. When the King playfully put his crown upon this boy be threw it off indignantly and put his foot on it. The King, fearing that thiB might be a sign that the child might yet take down his crown, applied another test. According to-the Jewish legend the King ordered two bowls to be put before the child, one containing rubies and the other burning coals. And if he took the coals he ^ was to live, and if he took the rubies he was to die. For some reason the child ^took one of the coals and put it in his nouth, so that his life was spared, dthough it burned his tongue till he was Indistinct of utterance ever after. Having to manhood, he spread open the i of his hands in prayer, and the Red to let 2,500,000 people

and only the breast, Mount the

of the Had son and the Penobscot and the Savannah and the Mobile and the Mississippi and all the other Miles oi! America, and let ns see you, the Miriams who watched and protected the leaders in law and medicine and ^ilerchandise, and art, and agrioulsure, and fiechanios, and religion! If I ah on id ask all tese physicians, and attorneyn, and merchants, and ministers of religion, itnd successful men of"all professions nnd trades nho are indebted to an eider Bister for good influences, and perhaps for as education or a prosperous start, to rise, they would rise by the hundreds. God knows how many of our Greek lexicons and how much of our schooling was paid lor by money that would otherwise hare gone for the replenishing of a sister’s wardrobe. While the brother sailed off for n resounding sphere the sister watched him from the banks of self-denial. Miriam was the oldest of the family, Mioses and Aaron her brothers and, younger. Oh, the power of the elder ulster to help decide the brother’s character for usefulness and for Heaven! She can keep off from her brother more evils than Miriam could have driven baok waterfowl or crocodile from the ark of bulrushes. The other sister decides the direction in which the' cradle boat shall tail. By genileuess, by good sense, by Christian principle, she can turn it toward the palace, not of a wicked Piuaroah, but of a holy God; and a brighter princess than Thermutis shall lift him out Of peril, even Religion, whose ways are ways of pleasantness and all her' paths are peace. The older sister, how much the world owesher! Born while yet the family was in limited circumstances, she had to hold and take care of her younger brothers; and it therms is anything that excites my sympathy it is a little girl lugging round a great fat child and getting her ears boxed because she can not keephim quiet. By the time she gets to young womanhood she is pads and worn out, and her attractiveness has been sacrificed on the altar cf sister fidelity, and she is consigned to oslibacy, and society calls her by am ungallant name, but in Heaven they call her Miriam. In most families the two most undesirable places in the record of births are iihe first an d the last—the first beoause site is worn out with the cares of a home that oan not afford to hire help, and the last because she is spoiled as a pet. Among the grandest; equipages that sweep through the streets of Heaven will be those oc cupied by listers who sacrificed themselves tor brothmi. They will have the finest of the ■Apooaiyptic whit e.horses, and many who on earth looked down upon them will have to turn out to let them pass. Let sisters not begrudge the time and Cairo bestowed on a brother. It is hard to Ijelieve that any boy that you know so well us your brother can ever turn out anything very useful. W ell, he may not be a Moses. There is only one of that kind needed for t,Ok) years. But Iv tell you wha.t your brother will be—either a blessing or a enrse to society and .a candidate for happiness or wretchedness. He will, like Moses, have the choice between rubies and living coals, and your influence will have much to do with his decision. He ma,y not, like Moses, be the deliver of a nation, but he may, after your father and mother are gone, be the deliverer of * a household. What thousands of homes today are piloted by brothers. There are properties now well invested, and yielding income for the support of sisters and younger brothers, because the older lirother rose to the leadership from the clay the father laid down to die. Whatever you do (or your brother will come bad: to you again. If you set him an ill-natured, censorious, inaccommodating example, it will recoil upon you from his own irritated and , despoiled nature. If you, by patience with all, infirmities and by nobility of character, dwell with him, in the few years of your companionship you will have your counsel reflected back upon you some day by his splendor of behavior it. some cases where he would have failed hut for you.

Don't snub him. Don’t depredate his ability. Don’t talk disoouragingly about his future. Don’t let Miriam get down off the bank of the Nile and waiie out nad upset the ark of bulrushes. Don’t teas e him. Brothers and sisters do not consider it any harm to tease. That spirit abroad in the family is one of the meanest and most devilish. There is a teasing tiiat is pleasurable and is only another form of innocent raillery, but that whictl provokes and irritates and mak«s the eye flush with anger is to be reprehended. It would be less blameworthy to lake a bunch of thorns and draw them across your sister’s cheek, or to take a knife and drsiw its sharp edge across your brother’s hand till the hlood spurts, for that would damage only the body, but teasing is the thorn and the knife scratching and lacerating the disposition and the soul, It is the curse of innummerable households that the lirothers tease the sisters and the sisten the brothers. Sometimes it is the color of the hair, or the shape of the featv i-es, or an off air of the heart. Sometimes it is by revealing a secret, or by a suggestive look, or n guffaw, or an “ahem I” Tease! tease! teasel For God’s sake quit it. Christ says: hiftrother is a murderer.” ^^J^WlSSvyou, by teasing, make your brother or sister hate, you turn him or her . into a murderer or murderess. front let J&alousy ever touch a li ster’s aopl, as It so onbn^does, because her 1 troth■tw ilt’ets more honorofkraore means. Even Ifiiiiam, the heroine of thetext; was struck that evil passion of jealousy. S he had isessed unlimited influence over Moses, [ill now-he marries, and not only so, but isirrlesa blaok woman from Ethiopia, nil Miriam is so disgusted and .outraged by Moses, first because ae had married at all, and next heoause he ibad practiced misoegenation, that she is drawn into a frenzy and then begins to turn 'white, and gets as white as a corpse, and then whiter than a corpse. Her compilation is like chalk; the fact is, she has the Egyptian leprosy. And now the brother whom she had defended on th< Nille comes to her rescue, in a pray cur that brings her restoration. Let there Ire no room in all your house for jealousy cither «o sit or stand. It is a leprous abomination. Your brother’s sucoess, O, s inters, is your success. His victories will lie your vict ories. For, while Moses, the brother, led the vocal music alter the crossing of tile Bed Sea, Miriam, the sister, with two glittering sheets of brass uplifted and glittering in the sun, led the instrumental snuslc, Mapping the cymbals till tint last fre lightened neigh of pursuing cavalry horses was smothered in the wave, and the lust Egyptian helmet went under. How strong it makes a family who's all the inters and brothers stand together, and what an awful wrack when they disintegrate, quarreling about a father’s win, and making the surrogate’s office horrible with their wrangle. Better when you were little children inthennrsery that with your play house mallets you had aecidcntaUy kiilliKl. each other fighting across your orwll s, than that having oorae to the age all maturity and having in your veins and arteries the blood of the same father and “■ - ' fight each other aoroia the ive in the cemetery. knew it vour interesnu are all the families of the earth the mosi eonRothsohllds. wit t.

they toon will be tf they hare Ml itoMd? ! nade exit, the sisterly and fraternal bond will be the only ligament that will bold the family together. How many ret so as for your deep and unfaltering attentions for each other!: Rooked In the same cradle) bent over by the same motherly tender* ness; toiled for by the same father's weary arm and aching brow; with common inheritance of all the family sect'eta, and with names given yon by parent) who started you with the highest hopes for your happiness and prosperity—I charge you, be loving and hind and i’orgiving. If the sister see that the brother never wants a sympathiser, the brother will see that the sister never rants an escort. Oh, if the sisters'of a household knew through what terrific and damning temptations their brother goes in this city life, they would hardly sleep nights in the anxiety for his salvation I And if you would make a holy conspiracy of words and gentle.attenttons and earnest prayers, , that would save his soul from death and , hide a multitude of sins. But let t ie sister dash oil! in one direction in diccipleship of the world and tire brother llee off in another direction in dissipation, and it will not be long before they w ill meet again at the gate of despair, their blistered feet In the hot ashes of a consumed lifetime. Alasl that brothers and sisters, though living together for years, very often do not know eaoh other imd that they see only the imperfections and non* of the virtues. General Bauer, of the Russian cavalry, had in early life wandered off In the army, and the family supposed he was dead. After he gained a fortune he encamped one day in Husam, his native place, and made -a banquet, and among the great military men who were 'to dine he invited a plain miller and his vjdfo, who lived near by, and who, affrighted, came,! fearing some harm woifld be done them. The miller and his wife were placed on* on each side of the General at the table, The General asked the miller all a bout his ftunily, and the miller said that he had two brothers and a sister. “No other brothers?” “My younger brother went off with the army many years ago, and, no doubt, was long ago killed.” Then the General said: “Soldiers, I am this man's younger brother, whom he though t was dead.” And how loud was the cheer and how warm was the embrace. Brother and sister, you need as mtioh of an introduction to each other as they did. You do not know each other . You think your brother is grouty and cross and queer, and he thinks you are selfish and proud and unlovely. But wrong! That brother will be a prince in some woman’s eyes, and that sister a queen in the estimation of some mam That brother is a magnificent fellow, and that sister is a morning in June. Come, let me introduce you; “Moses, this is Miriam. Miriam, this is Moses.” Add seventy-five percent, to your present appreciation of eaoh other, and when you kiss good, morning do not stiok up your cold cheek, wet from the recent washing, as though you hated to touch each other’s lips; in affectionate caress. Let it have all the fondness and cordiality of a loving Bister1! kiss. Make yourself as agreeable and helpful to each other as possible, rememberi ng that soon you part. The few years of boyhood and girlhood will soon slip by, and you will go out to homes of yonr own, and into the battle with the world and amid everohanging vicissitudes, and on paths crossed with graves and up steps hard to climb, and through shadowy ravines. But, oh, my God and Saviour 1 may the terminus of the journey be the same as the start, namely, at father’s apd mother’s knee, if they have inherited the kingdom. Then,.in boyhood and girlhood days, we rushed in after the day’* absenoe with much to tell of exciting adventure, and father and mother enjoyed the recital as much as we who made it, so we shall on the hillside of heaven rehearse to them all the scenes of our earthly expedition, and they shall welcome us borne, as we say: “Father, and mother wo have come and brought our children with us. The old revival hymn described it, with glorious repetition:

Brothers and sisters there trill meet, Brothers and sisters there will meet, Brothers and sisters there will meet, Will meet to part no mote. I read of • child in the country who vu detained at a neighbor’s house on • stormy night by some fascinating stories that were being told him, and then looked out and saw it was so dark he did not dare go home. The incident impressed me the more because in my ohildhood I had much the same experil enoe. The boy asked his comrades to go with him, but they dared not. It got later and later—seven o’clock, eight o’clock, nine o’clock. “Oh,” he said, “I wish I were home!” As he opened the door the last time a blinding flash of the storm a nd a deafening roar overcame him. But alitor a while he saw in the distance a lanten., and lo t his brother was coming to fetch him home, and the lad stepped out and with s wift feet hastened on to his brother, who took him home, where they were so gl ad to greet him and for a long time supper had been waiting. So it may be when the night of death comes and our earthly friends can not go With us and we dare not go sione. May our brother, our elder hro*ier, our friend closer than s brother, come out to meet us with the light of the promises, which shall be a lantern to our feet, and then we will go in to join our loved, ones waiting tor us, supper all ready, the marriage supper of the Lamb.

THE ALTAR. Interruption of • Newport (Kjr.) Wedding. [Cincinnati Enquirer.} —„re occurrence happened ia jfrowby which a bridal chamber Was turned into a chamber of death. For some time past a man by the name of James Murray has been paying his attentions to a young lady named Maggie Hutchison. Their oourtship resulted in an engugement, and the happy event was to have been consummated at the residence of the bride on Saratoga street yesterday af ternoon. The groom, accompanied by llev. Mr. Lightfooti, who was to be the officiating minister, went to the county clerk’s office and precured a marriage licens e for Mr. Murray to marry Miss Hutchison. The license was issued, and, the groom-expectant left the county clerk’s office, and was all smiles. He did not realise, however, how soon he was to be disappointed. He and the preacher went to the house and his affianced met him at the door, and they embraced each other, and, after a few .minutes’ conversation, preparations were made for the consummation of' the nuptials. The bride was dressed in her wedding outfit, and when things were about complete the bride was asked if she was ready. She answered, “Yes,” and at the same time anise from her seat. She had no sooner gained her feet than she gave t heavy sigh and fell over, a corpse. The guests could not realise the situs t on for a Jew moments, and for awhile it vaa thought that she had only fainted. Wl en the fact of her death was announced, tha guests who had assembled to partlci]»ite in the wedding festivities were neon mourning over the body of the bride «*- pectant. The supposition is that shaded from heart disease. The county dark made an order on the marriage record canceling the license owing to the death of the lady named in the license before the marriage. The groom expectant was ba lly shaken up over the sudden torn Mutt Ida

A NOBLE DOG. On® Creature of all Abused Kind That Earned More than Its Salt. [Birmingham (Ala.) Age.J J. E. "fralter, th# master of train servlets of the Louisville Sc Nashville railroad, has a dog he values highly. The dog is a Newfoundland, and has been raised by his owner from a'small puppy. Hr. Walter has a little girl who is fond of the animal, and the affection between the two is interesting. A few mornings since the little girl was left in the room alone by a large Are in the grate. She wflnt too near the blaze and the dog opened the door and entered. He went to her and began to pull her away by catching her clothing in his teeth. The two companions played about the room for some time, until the little girl grew tired and sleepy. She went too near the fire again, and the dog could not get her away. He pulled at her clothes for some time, but could not arouse her. He then hurried to her mother’s room and began to act strangely by rubbing against her hand and catching her dress, pulling her toward the dam-. She caressed him and told him to go away and find little Nellie. He made a strange whining noise with his mouth, and then slowly walked back to where the little one was sleeping. The Are was growing hotter and the little one was sleeping, unconscious of her great danger. The dog made another attempt to arouse her and failed. He then crouched down beside her, between her and the Are, taking care to protect her well. Mrs. Walter entered the room a few minutes later and found the noble dog in this position whining and crying, while the hair was being singed from his back. Little Nellie was sleeping sweetly.

An Interesting Porpoise* [Atlanta Constitution.] One of the best known characters about Brunswick is a porpoise. For twenty years he has-been seen there, and now everybody knows him as “CutAn.” This name has been given to him because his big dorsal fln hag been cut half away in some combat with his rivals in the sea or by the attack of some human foe. But “Cutfln” is now sate, at least from the hand of man. He is a universal favorite and enjoys the attentions which are lavished upon him. He is so tame that any Ashing party that sails near Doboy can tap a few times on their beat with an oar and he will come up to join them. No matter where the boat goes “CutAn” follows. He comes up within a few feet and a thousand opportunities has he given to fishermen to kill him, but no m»x*a' hand is ever raised against this remarkable Ash. He is a powerful fellow, fully twelve feet long. He has been known when accompanying Ashing parties to swim around and drive Ash into their nets. No pilot on that coast is better known than “CutAn,” and few are more highly esteemed. The Egg Found Her a Husband. [Cincinnati Enquirer.] A romantic courtship has been going on for some time between Frank Nolan, a clerk in a grocery at Elizabethport, N. C., and* a young school-teacher of Dakota. Mr. Nolan, one day about four months ago, while unpacking a barrel of eggs, found one that had the young lady’s name and address written upon it. The Ander of the egg was requested to write, provided it was a man who felt matrimonially inclined. Young Nolan immediately complied with the fair damsel’s request. Several letters have passed between the pair, photographs have been exchanged, and in her last missive, received a few days ago, the young woman requests her admirer to come on to Dakota immediately. Congressman Baglet, of Michigan, says Red Star Cough Cure is simple and e£Scm Clous. Ex-Mayor Baxter, of Louisville, Ky., says St. Jacobs Oil is a specific for every pain.
