'ALMAGE’S SERMON.

Rev. T. DeWitt TaImage delivered the athird discourse ot his aeries on “The Labor ; Question” in the Brooklyn Tabernacle, : (or his text; So the carpenter cnobnraged the folddth, and he that smootbeth with the ham[haer him that smote th e anvil_Isaiah, xlL, T. He said: Yon base seen in factories a jlece of mechanism passing from hand to 1 and from room to room, and one mechanic will smite lit, and another will , flatten it, and another will chisel it, and another will polish it until the work l be done. And so tie prophet describes the idols of olden times as being made, part of them by one hand, part of them by another hand. Carpentry comes in, goldbeating comes in, smithery comes in, and three or four styles of mechanism are employed. “So the corpepter encouraged -the goldsmith and he that smootheth with the hammer him that smote the anvil," When they tuet they talked over their work and they helped each other on with ifc It was a very bad kind of business; it was making idols which were an Insult to the Lord ot Heaven. 1 have thought if men in bad work can encourage each other, ought riot men engaged in honest partisanship and in honest mechanism to speak ward* of good cheer? eeeajsee on I will speak this morning of the general hardships ot the working classes. Youmay not belong to this class, but you are bound as Christian men and women to know their sorrows and sympathise with them, and as political economists to come to their rescue. There is great danger that the prosperous classes, because of the bad things that have been said by tbs false friends of labor, shall conclude that all this labor trouble Is a “hullabaloo” about nothing. Do not go off on that tangent. You would not, neither would I, submit without protest to the oppressions to whloh many ot our laborers are subjected. You do a great wrong to the laboring classes If you. hold tliem responsible for the work of the scoundrelly Anarchists. You nan not bate their deeds more thoroughly than do all the industrial classes. At the head of the chief organ of the Knights of Labor, in big letters, I And the following vigorous di sctaimer: Led it be understood by all the world that the Knightso( Labor have no affiliation, association, sympathy or respeot tor the band ot cowardly murderers, cut-throats and robbers known as A narchists, who sneak through the oountry like midnight assassins, stirring up the passions of Ignorant foreigners, unfurling t he red flag ot anarohy and causing riot and bloodshed -Parsons, Spies, Fielding, Most and all their followers, sympathizers, aiders and abettors should be summarily dealt with. They are entitled to no more consideration than wild beasts. The leaden are oowaris and their followen are fools. , You may do your duty toward your employes, but many do not, and the biggest business Arm in America to-day is Grip, Gouge, Grind & Co. Look, for instance, at the woes of the womanly toilers, who have not made any strike and who are dying by the thousands and dying by inohes. I read a few lines from the last labor report, just out, as specimens of what female employes endure: Poisoned hands and can not work. Had to sue the man tor fltty centa. Another: , About four months et the year oan, by hard work, earn a littl e more than three dollars psr week.. Another: 8ha now makes wrappers at one dollar per uoaen; oan make eight wrappers per day. Another: We girls In our establishment have the following tines imposed: For washing your hands, twentv-flve oeuts; eating a piece ot bread at your loom, one dollar; also tor sitting on a stool; taking a drink of water, and many trifling things too numerous to mention. Some 6t the worst villains of our cities are the employers of these women. They beat them down to the last penny and try to cheat them out O'1 that. The woman must deposit a dollar, or two before she gets the garments to work on. When the work is done it is sharply inspected, the most insignificant flaw is picked out, and the wages refused, | and sometimes the dollar deposited not; given back. The Women’s Protective Union reports a case where one of’the poor souls, flndlng a place where she ootid; get more wages, resolved to change employer, and went to get her pay for work done. The employer

“I hear you are going to leave me?" “ Yes,”shesajA, “ai l I have oome to get what you owe me.” He made no answer. She said: “Are you not going to pay me?” “Yes,” he said, “Xvrillpay you,” and he kicked her down stalls. I never swore a word in all my life, but 1 confess that when I read that I felt a stirring within me th\t was not all devotional. By what principle ct justice is it that women in many of our cities get only two* thirds as much as men, and in many cases only half? Here is the gigantic injustice —that for work equally well, if not better done, woman receiven far less compensation than man. Start; with the Notional Government. Women clerks in Washington get $900 for doing that for which men receive $1,800. The wheel of oppression is rolling over the nec ks of thousands of women who are at th is moment in despair about what they are tio do. Many of the largest mercantile establishments of our cities art accessory to these abominations, and from their large establishments there afe scores of souls being pitched oft into death, and their employers know it. Is there a God? Will there be a judgment? . I tell you, if God risen up to redress woman’s wrongs, many oi our large establishments will be swallovred up quicker than a South American earthquake ever took down a oily. God w ill catch these op pressor* between the “two mill-stones of his wrath, and grind them to powder. Why is it that a fAn ale principal in a school gets only $825 for doing work for which.® male principal gets $1,650? I hear from all this land the wail of womanhood. Man has nothing to answer to that wail but flatteries. He says she is an angel. Bhe is not. She knows she is not. She is a human being who gets hungry when she has no food and told when she has no lire. Give her no more flatteries; give her justice. There are 65,000 sewing girls in New York and Brooklyn. Across the sunlight comes their death groan. It if not a cry as cornea from those who are soddenly hurled out of life, but a slow, grinding, horrible waiting away. Gather them before you and look intp their faoes, pinched, ghastly, hunger-struck! Look at their Angers, needle-pricked and bloodtipped I She that premature stoop in the shoulders 1 Hear that dry, booking, mer>ugh I At a large meeting of these held in h hull in Philadelphia, speeches tjrani delivered, but a i*woman took the stand, threw aside* ' shawl, and with her shriveled •d we-very thunderbolt of eloquence, speaking out the horrors of her Stand at the corner A a i fork at six or seven o clock ng,as the women goto w< street In Hew in the morn

I said to a col- < ored man who.tn Missouri lost March, i came into my room In the morning to build my fire: “Sam, bow much wages do youj ■ people get around here*" He replied;1 “Ten dollars a month, sir I" I asked: “Hare you a family?” “Yes,” said he, “wife and children.” Think of it; $120 a year to support a family on. My friends, there is something in this world awfully atwist. When I think of these things I am not bothered as some ot my brethren with the abstract questions as to why God let sin come into the world. The only wonder with me is that God> don’t smash this world up and start another In place of it.

One great trial that the working classes feel is physical exhaustion.. There are athletes who go out to their work at sis or seven o'clock in the morning and come back at night as fresh as when they started. They turn their baok upon the shuttle or the forge or the rising wall, and they oome away elastic and whistling. That is the exception. I hare noticed that when the factory bell taps for six o’olock, the hard-working man wearily puts his arm into his coat-sleeve and starts for home. He sits down in the family circle resolved to make himself agreeable, to be the means of culture and education to his children; but in five minutes he is sound asleep. He is fagged out—strength of body, mind and soul utterly exhausted. He rises in the morning only half rested from the toil. Indeed he will never have any pe. feet rest in this world, until he gets into one narrow spot which is the only perfect rest for the human body in this world. I think they call it a gravel Has toil frosted the color of your oheeks? Has it taken til spontaneity from your laughter? Has it subtracted the spring from your step and the luster from your eye, until it has left you only half the man you were when you first put vour hand on the hammer and your foot on the wheel? Tonarrow, in your place of toil, listen, and you will hear a voice above the hiss of the furnace and the groan of the foundry and theolatterof the shuttle—a .voice not of machinery nor of the task-master, but the voice of an til-sympathetio God, as he says: Come unto me all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Let til men and women of toil remember that this work will soon be over. Have they not heard that there is a great holiday coming? O! that home, and no long walk to get to it. O! that bread and no sweating toil necessary to earn it. 01 these deep wells of eternal rapture and no heavy buckets to draw up. I wish they would put their head on this pillow stuffed with the down from the wing of til God's promises. There remains a rest for the people of God. cj wonder how many tired people there are in the house to-day. A thousand? More than that. Two thousand people who are tired, tired out with their life, tired in hand and foot and baok and heart. Ah! there are more than two thousand people here to-day, supposing all the rest to be in luxury and in ease. Yonder is a' woman who has her head down on her hand. What does that mean! Ask her. It has been a tiresome week to her. “O!" she says, "when will I ever get any rest?" Do you say: "We have sewing-maohines now in our great cities and the trouble is' gone.” No, it is not. I see a great many women wearing themselves out amid the hardships of the sewing-machine. A Christian man went into a house of a good deal of destitution in New York, and he saw a poor woman there with a sick child, and he was telling the woman how good a Christian she ought to be and how she ought, to put her trust in God. “Oh!” she said, "I have no God. I work from Monday mornftg until Saturday night, and I get no rest, and I never hear anything that does my soul any good; and when Sunday comes I ha ven’t any bonnet that I can wear to church, and I have sometimes got down to pray, and then I got up saying to my husband: ‘My dear, there is no use of my praying; I am so distracted I cant pray; it don’t do any good.’ Oh! sir, it is very hard to work on as we people do from year to y«iai% and to see nothing bright ahead, and to see the poor little child getting thinner and thinner, and my man almost broken down, and to be getting no nearer to God, but to be getting farther away from him. Oh, if I were only ready to die." May God comfort all who toil with the needle and the sewing-machine, and have compassion on those borne down under the

v* mo Another great trial ii privation of taste and sentiment. There are mechanics who have their beautiful homes, who have their fine wardrobes, who have all the best fruits and meats of the earth brought to their tables. They have their elegant libraries. But they are' the exception. A great many of the working people of our country are living in cramped abodes, struggling amid great hardships, living in neighborhoods where they do not want to live, but where they have to live. I do not know of any thing more painful than to have a fine taste for painting and sculpture, and music and glorious sunsets, and the expanse of the blue sky, and yet not be able to get the dollar for the oratorio, or to get a picture, or to buy one’s way into the country to look at the setting sun and at the bright heavens. While there are men in great affluence, .-who have around them all kinds of luxuries in art, themselves entirely unable to appreciate these luxuries—buying their books by the square foot, their pictures sent to them by some artist who is glad to get the miserable daubs out of the studio —there are multitudes of refined, delicate women who are born artists and shall reign in the Kingdom of Heaven as artists, who are denied every picture and every sweet song and every musical instrument, Oh I let me cheer such persons by telling them to look up and behold the inheritance that Qpd has reserved for them. The King of Babylon had a hanging garden that was famous in all the ages, but you have a hanging garden better than that. All the heavens are yours. They belong to your Fathqy, and what belong to your Father belongs to you. Then there are a great many who suffer not only in the privation of their taste, but in the apprehensions and the oppressive surroundings of life, that were wall described by an English writer. He said: To tie a poor man's child and look through the rails of the play-ground, and envy the rioher hove tor the sake of their many books, and yet to be doomed to Ignoranoe. To be apprenticed to some harsh stranger and feel lorever banished from a mother’s tenderness and a sister’s love. To work when very weary, and to work when the heart is sad and the head Is sore. To see a wife or a darling child wasting away and not to he able*u get the beet advice To hope that She better food or purer air might set her up again, but that food you can not buy, that air you most not hop* to breathe. To be obliged to let her die. To come home from the dally task some evening and tee her sinkin g. To sit up all night In hope to eatob again those precious words yon might have heard could yon have afforded to stay at home all day, bnt never heartbeat. To nave no mourners at tbefuneral. and even to have to earrv on your own shoulder through the merry streets the light deal coffin. To see huddled Into a promiscuous hold the dust which Is so dear to you and not venture to mark the spot by planted flower or lowliest stone. Some bitter winter or some eostly spring to barter tor food the eioek, or the curlcu pboard, or the Deary's Commentaries rhteh you prided yourself as the heirloom * “ ad never to be able to are gettlngotd, eeent earnings the parlor floor sop story for a tat change will

Not amid the dost ot facorlet, not among those who hart oa their 'orertlltbnt among those who itond rlth thatr hand* In their pooket* wound he doort of taloont and reatanranti and aTtnmi. Aotive employment la one of the nontest inretlet for a pure and Upright Me. There are but tery few men with diaraeter stalwart enough to endure eon* lecntire idleness. Sin Is an old pirate that bears doom oh ressels whose sails are flapping idly In the rind. The arrow of sin has hard work to juncture the leather of an old working ipron. Be encouraged by the fact that rour shops, your rising walls, your a nvils ire fortresses in which you may hide, and !rom whioh you may light agaiait the emptatlons ot your life. Horning, noon ind night, Sundays and week-days, thank Sod for plenty to do.

Another encouragement is the fact that heir families are going to have the very >est opportunity for development and usefulness. That may sound strange to you, >ut the children of fortune are very apt to ;urn out poorly. In nine eases out of ten he lad finds out if a fortune is coming, by iwelve years of age—he finds out there is 10 necessity of toil; and he makes no itruggle, and a life without struggle goes nto dissipation or into stupidity. IPhere ire thousands and tens of thousands of nen in our great cities who are toiling on, lenying themselves all luxuries, year after year toiling and grasping. What foi l To ;et enough to spoil their ehildren. The father was fifty years getting the property together. How long will it take he boys to get rid of that property, not laving been brought up in prudenthubits! Less than five years to undo all the work if fifty. You see the sons of wealthy par* ints going out into the world, inane, nerversas, dyspeptic, or they are inoorrlgihla snd reckless; while the son of the porter hat kept the gate learns his trade, gets a robust physical constitution, achieves high moral culture, and stands in the front rank if Church and State. Who sure the men mightiest in our legislatures, and Congress, and oabinets! Did they walk up the steep of life in silver slippers! 01 no. The mother put him down under the tree iin the shade, while she spread the hay. Many of these mighty men ate out of an iron spoon snd drank out of the roughest earthenware—their whole life a forced march. They never had any luxuries until, after awhile, God gave them affluence and usefulness and renown as a reward for their persistence. Remember, then, that though you may have poor surroundings and small means tor the education of your children, they are actually starting under better advantages than though you had a fortune to give them. Hardship andsprivation are not a damage to them, but ap advantage. A dipper likes a stiff ,breeze.- The sledge hammer does not mirt the iron that it knocks into shape. Trouble is a home for sharpening very keen razors. Akenside rose to his eminent sphdre from his father’s butcher shop. Robert Burns started as a Bhepherd. Prldeau used to sweep Exeter College. Gifford was a shoemaker , and the son otcevery man of toil may rise to heights of Intellectual and moral povrer, it he will only trust God and keep busy. Again, I offer as enoouragement that you have so many opportunities of gaining information. Plato gave $1,300 for two books. The Countess of Anjou gave 300 sheep for one volume. Jerome ruined himself financially by buying one copy of Origen. Oh, the contrast. How there are tens of thousands of pens gathering up information. Type-setters are calling for “copy.” All our cities quake with the rolling cylinders of the Harpers and the Appletons, and the Lippincots and the Petersons and the Ticknors, and you now buy more than Benjamin Pranklin ever knew for fifty cents) A hard-working man comes along toward his home, and he looks into the show-window of die book store and sees an elegantly bound volume. He says; “I wish I had that book; there must be a great deal of information in it.” A few months pass along, and though that book which he looked at cost five dollars, it comes now in pamphlet shape and costs him fifty cents. The high wall aiound about the well of knowledge is being broken down, and people come, some with porcelgin pitchers and some with pewter mugs, to dip up the living water for their thirsty lips. There are people who toil from seven o’clock in the morning until six o’clock at night, who know more about anatomy than the old physiologists, and who know more about astronomy than the old philosophers. If you should take the learned men of two hundred years ago and put them on one bench, and take twenty children from the common schools in Brooklyn, and put them down or. the other bench, the children could examine the philosophers and the philosophers could not examine the children. “Ah,” says Isaao Newton, coming up and talking to some intelligent lad of seven years: “What is that!”

v, uuctb is « iau*u«iu> ‘What is that?” ' 'That is a telegraph." "What is that?” "It is a telephone." "Dear me! 1 think I shall go back to my bed in the dust, for 1 am bewildered and my head turns." OI rejoice that you have all these opportunities of information spread out before you, and that, seated in your ohuir at bo ne, by the evening light, you ean look ov«r all nations and see the descending morn of a universal day. One more encouragement: Tour to ils in thin world are only Intended to be a discipline by which you shall be prepared for h erven. "Behold I bring you glad tidings of great Joy," and tell you that Christ, the carpenter, of Naiareth, is the workingman’s Christ. Tou get his love once in your heart, O, workingman, and vott cat sing on the wall in the midst of the storm, and in the shop amidst the shoving of the plane, and down in the mine amid the plunge of the orowbar, and on shipboard while olimbing ratlines. It you belong to the Lord Jesus Christ he will count the drops of sweat on your brow. He knows every aohe and pain you have ever suffered in your worldly occupation. Are you weary! He will give yon rest. Are you sick? He will give you health. Are you oold? He will wrap around you the warm mantle of his eternal love. And beside that, my friends, you must remember that all of this is only preparatory—a preparatory and introductory. I see a great multitude before the throne of God. Who are they? "O," yqji say, "those are princes. They must hate always been in a royal family. They dress like princes; they walk like princes} they are princes. There are none of the common people there—none of the poocle that ever toiled with band and foot.” Ah you are mistaken. Who is that, bright spirit before the throne? Why, that was a sewing-girl, who, work as hard as she could, could make but two shillings the day. Who is that other Illustrious son! before the throne? Why, that man toiled amid the Egyptian brick kilns. Who is that other illustrious soul before the throne? Why her drunken father drove her out on a cold winter night and she troae into heaven. What are those kings and queens before the throne? Many of thorn went up from Birmingham millii aud from Lowell oarpet factories. And now I hear a sound like the rustling of robes, and now I tee a taking up of harps as though they were yolug to strike a thanksgiving anthem, and all the children of the saw, and the disoiples of the shuttle are in glorious arr*J‘» and they lift a song so clear and sw »et, I wish you could hear it It would make the pilgrim’s burden very light, and th« pilgrim's journey very short.

Points to bo Considered by Every Farmer and Dairyman. Every man who enters into the dairy business must determine for himself which branch he will follow, and will probably settle the question according to his surroundings. As a rule, farmers are very fond of following the same occupation as their neighbors, and usually there are but few buttermakers in sections where milk is made to sell in cities, and few sellers of milk where the custom is to make butter. At the same time, it is not always advisable to run in the same grooves with your neighbors. There is much to be said in favor of milk-selling. There is nothing but the raw material to be made and shipped, requiring but few utensils and tittle skill beyond feeding the cows judiciously, but for this very reason the occupation is always crowded. Men who can do nothing else can feed and milk cows and haul the milk to the railroad station; but as railroads multiply, these producers of milk also multiply, until now we hear of starvation prices for milk in the neighborhood of all large

With butter-making in addition to producing the raw material, the dairyman becomes a manufacturer; and while it is true that he may remain for all time only able to produce the crudest possible article, yet the possibilities are all open to him of reaching the highest standards and reaping the largest protits. No matter what his surroundings, or where he may be located, if he has the right material in his own brain and heart, there are even possibilities of a national reputation open to him. As the progressive step is taken from being a produoeronly of the raw material to that of a manufacturer, there must, of course, be additional responsibility and greater skill at command of the successful but-ter-maker. As he rises in the scale, the number of his competitors becomes less and less, until he feels utter loneliness when he reaches the summit of his fame. It has been figured out that while it costs 1 3-4 cents on a dollar's worth of butter for transportation, it costs 18 1-2 cents on a dollar’s worth of milk for transportation. These are, of course, only relative figures, governed by a man’s _ immediate surroundings, but they give some idea of the difference in cost of delivering the two articles. While butter may be sent any distance, provided it is well packed and properly made, milk transportation must be always limited until some more convenient and economical method of handling it than the present is invented. So far as the drain upon the farm is concerned, the philosophers all decide in favor of butter, claiming that the man who sells milk sells his farm, all of which is probably more a matter of theory than practical fact. Any farm Will rundown and out if not properly taken care of, and with Intelligent management any farm will retain its fertility, without regard to the amount of milk sold off it. It has been proven in Europe that a well-set pasture on good, strong land will last several hundreds of years, though it supplied grass for dairy herds and beef oattle promiscuously; and that ought to satisfy the average dairyman, forTn this oountry men and their children seldom hold to one calling beyond the second generation. The main virtue, however, in buttermaking with the average dairyman is that it leaves the skim-milk ana buttermilk on the farm to be fed to pigs, calves, chiokens, and even back to the oows. The least ent husiastic rate these by-products of the butter dairy at twen-ty-five cents per hundred pounds, which is probably a little more than half their value when judiciously fed. Whenever you see a butter-maker getting rich, you may be sure he is a wise man in the use of his skim-milk and butter-milk, and with the modem methods of deep

AN OPIUM EATER'S STORY. Crawling Or«r Bed Bat Bin of Iron tn Bto Fearful Fronsy—A Scientific lam. tifiatlon and Ito Result* Cincinnati Timet-Star, “Opium or death 1’* This brief sentence was fairly hissed into the ear of a prominent druggist on Vine street by a person who, a few years ago well off is today a hopeless wreck 1 One can scarcely realise the sufferings of an opium victim. De Quincy has vividly portrayed it But who can fitly describe the joy of the rescued victim 1 H. C. Wilson, of Loveland, a, formerly with If arch, Harwood & Co., manufacturing chemists of St Louis, and of the wellknown firm of H. C. Wilson & Co., chemists, formerly of this city, gave our reporter yesterday a bit of thrilling personal exMrioncd in thin linn.

'I bare crawled over red hot bars of iron and coals of fire," be said, “in my agony during an opium frensy. The very thought mv oiiffaeinffafwoaifao mn Kl/\n,l oL.IIof my sufferings freezes my blood and chills my bones. I was then eating over thirty crrains of opium daily.” "Sfc! bur did you contract the habit?” Excessive business cares broke me down and my doctor prescribed opium 1 That Is the way nine-tenths of cases commence. When 1 determined to stop, however. I found /could not do it. “You may be surprised to know,” he said, “that two-fifths of the slaves of morphine and Opium are physicians. Many of these I met We studied our cases carefully. We found out what the organs were In which the appetite was developed and sustained; that no Victim Was free from a demoralized Condition of those organs; that the hope of d cure depended entirety upon the degree of vigor which could be imported to them. I ha ve seen patients; While Undergo - ing treatment, compelled to resort to opium again to deaden the horrible pain in those organs. I marvel how I ever escaped.” “Do you mean to say, Mr. Wilson, that you have conquered the habit?” “Indeed I have.” “Doyou object to telling me how?” “ No, sir. Studying the matter with several opium-eating physicians, we became satisfied that the appetite for opium was located in the kidneys and liver. Our next object was to find a specific for restoring those organs to health. The physicians, 'much against their code, addressed their attention to a certain remedy and Became thoroughly convinced on its scientific merits alone that it was the only one that could be relied upon in every case of disordered kidneys and liver. I thereupon began using it and, supplementing it with my own special treatment, finally got fully over the habit I may say that the most important part of the treatment is to get those organs first into good working condition, for in them the appetite originates and is sustained, and in them over ninety percent of all other human ailments orig- “ For the last seven years this position has been taken by the proprietors of that remedy and finally it is becoming an acknowledged scientific truth among the medical profession; many of them, however, do not openly acknowledge it, and yet, knowing they have no other scientific specific, their code not allowing them to use it, they buy it upon the quiet and prescribe it in their own bottles.” “As I said before, the opium and morphine habits can never be cured until the appetite for them is routed out of the kidneys and liver. I have tried everything— experimented with everything ana as the result of my studies and investigation, can say I know nothing can accomplisirthis result but Warner’s safe cure.” “Have others tried your treatment?” “Yes, sir, many; and all who have followed it fully have recovered. Several of them who did not first treat their kidneys and liver for six or eight weeks, as I advised them, completely failed. This form of treatment is always insisted upon for all patients, whether treated by mail or at the Loveland Opium Institute, and supplemented by our special private treatment, it always cures. ” Jlr. Wilson stands very high wherever known. His experience is only another proof of the wonderful and conceded power of Warner’s safe cute over all diseases of the kidneys, liver and blood, and the diseases caused by derangements of those organs.
