TAUiAGE’S SERMON. ▲ Pointed Discourse in Detente of Young Men, The Value of' a Good Home and tllte Bulwark of Power Found la a Noble Ideal—Keligious Principle the lest of Character. Rev. T. DsWitt Talmage took for the theme of a recent discourse at the Brooklyn Tabernacle a “Defense of Tout Men,” his‘text being And the I^M-d opened the eyes of tbe young man.—n Kings, ri„ It. 'He said: One morning in BoWmn a young theological student was scared, |>y finding himself and Elisha, the prophet, upon whom he waited, surrounded by a whole arnsr *>f enemies. Bnt rea<Fable Eiisha was, not scared at all, been use he snw the mountains full of defense for hita, in chariots made out of Are, wheels of fire, dashboard of fire, and cushion « f fire, drawn by horses with nostrils of firs, and mane of 4re, and haunches of lire, and hoofs of fii-e—a supernatural appearance that could not be seen with the natural eye. So the old minister prayed that the young minister might see them alls*!, and the prayer was answered, and the Loi'd opened the eyes of the young man. a.ud lie also saw the fiery procession, Hooking somewhat, I suppose, like the Adirondacks or the Ailoghanies in their autumnal re

spendence. Many young man. standing among the mast tremendous realities, have their eyee halt shut or entirely closed May God grant that my sermon may open wide your eyes to your safety, your oppor tunity and your destiny. A might ^defense for a young mnn if a good homo. Gome of my hearers look back with tender satisfaction to their early home. It may hire been rnde and! ms tic, bidden among the hills, and architect or nphoUtei er never planned or adorned it. But all th j fresco on princely walls never looked so enticing to yoti as those mughhewn raf'.ers. You can think of no park or arbor of trees planted on fashionable country seat so attractive as the plain brook .that run in front of the old tagnshonsc ar.d sang under the weeping willows. No barred gateway adorned; with statue of bronae, and swung open by ob* sequiou < porter in full dress, has half the glory oW the swinfc gate. Man]' of yon have a second dwelling place, roar adopted home, that also is sacred forever. There von built the first famitj at (op. There your children were born. AVpioHe treesjou planted. That room Is solemn, beqU^h once in it, over the hut pillow, flappM the wings of death. Under that roof you expect wliea vonr work is done to lie down and die. You try with many words totell the excellency of the place, but you fait There is only one word in the language that can describe your meaning. It is home. Now, I declare it, that young man is comparatively safe who goes out into the werid with a charm like this upon him. The memory of parental solicitude, planning and praying, will be to him a shield and a shelter. I never knew a mnn faithful both to his early and aijopted home, vho at the same time was given over to «,ny gros3 form of dissipation or wickedness. He who seeks his enjoyment chiefly from outside association, rather than from the more quiet and unpresuiniug pleasures of which I have spoken, may be ' suspected to be on the broad road to ruin. Ahsolom despised his father’s house, and you know his history of sin and hit death of shame. If you seem unnecessarily Isolated from your kindred and former associates, is there not some room that yoqcan call your own? Into it gather books, papers, and pictures, and a harp. Hava a portrait over the mantel. Hake ungodly mirth stand back from the threshold. Consecrate some spot with the knee of payer. By the memory of other clays, a father’s counsel, and a mother’s tors, and a sister’s confidence, call it home. Another defense for a young man is Industrious habit Many yonng men, in starting upon life in this age, ex pect to ■ make their way through the world by the nse of their wits rather than the toil of their hands. A child now goes to the city and fails twice before he is as old as hie father was when he first saw the spire c of the great town. Sitting in some office, rented at $1,000 a year, he is waiting for

it work, will come with drew him log*, and with help heave up his castle lcj picture. 16 hi every

know that the. prodigal (a tin Scripture woo'd ever have been reetaiu td-Uad he not given up his idle habits an# gone to feeding swine for a living: , Go to the ant, thou sluggard, consider her ear* and he wise, which having nc overseer rr guide prorideth her food in the *u®m©r and Mthereth her meat in the harvest. The devil does not so1 often attach the man who is busy with the ,»n, and the book, and the trowel, and the saw ami '.he hammer.1 He is afraid of those wfoSpOis. Bat woe to that man whom this roaring lion meets with hie hands is bis pockets. Do not demaud that your toil always be elegant, ahd cleanly and refine,!.

God passed on us the ranteuco: fly the sweat of tfav hrow 'shah: thsweb* breed. We must endure our tin o oi 4tuds?ery, and then, after awhile, wo will be alloyed to go into comparative liberty. We must to willing to endure the sentence. We ill know what drudgery is connected with the beginning of any trade or profession, but this does not continue all our Lives, if it be the student’s, or the merchant’s, or the mechanic’s life. I know yon have at the beginning many a, hard time, but after awhile these things trill become easy. You will have your c wu master. God’s sentence will be satisfied. You will be discharged from prison. B’ess God that you hs je a brain to think and hands to work and feet to walk with, for tin your con si; art aet'vity, O young man, is oho of your strongest defenses. Put vour trust In God aid do

your level best. A Rain, profound respect for the Sabbath will be to the youag man a powerful preservative against evil. God has thrust into the toil and fit goe of ii'o a recreative dav, when the soul is especially to be ted. It Is no new-tangled notion of a ^^wild- brained re I ortoer. an institution established at win lieglnning. - God has made natural and moral laws so harmonious that the body ns well as the soul demands this institution. Our bodies are sevaa-day clocks, that must be wound up as; often os that, or they will run down. Sailers must come sooner or later to the man who breaks the Sabbath. Inspiration has called it the Lord’s Day, and he who demotes it to the •irorld fs guilty of robbery. God will not let the sin go unpunished either 1n this world or the world to come. This Is the statement of >i man who had I woken this divine enactment: “I was engaged in manufacturing on the Lehigh river. On the Sabbath I seed to rest, but never regarded God in >t One beautiful Sabbath, when the noise was all hushed, and the day was all that loveliness could make it, I sat down on my piazza, and went to work inventing as new shuttle. I neither stopped to put nor drink till the sun went down. Bv thaff time I had the invention completed. The next morning I exhibited, it, boasted of my day’s work, and was applauded. The shuttle was tried and worked well, huh. that Sabbath (lay’s work cost me thirty thousaud dollars. We broached-.out and enlarged, and the curse of Heaven was upon me from-that day onward." While the divine frown piust rest npon him who tramples npon titlibtata te, God’s special favor will Iboupon that young man who scrupulously uliserve; it. This dav, properly obseiBhd, will throw a hallowed influence over all the week The song, andj^ermon. and sa s etnary « ill hold back from presumptuous scene*'. That young man who begins the detes of life with either secret or op«n disrespect of the holy day, I venture tc> prophesy, will meet with mo premiaeut successes. God’t curse will fall upon nis ship, his store, his office, his studio, his body and his soul. The way of the wicked hetnrneth upside down. In one of the old fables it was said that a wonderful child was born in Bagdad, and a magician could bear his footsteps six thousand miles away. Bui; I can hoar in the footstep of that young maa an. his way to the house of worship this morning, step not only of a lifetime of usefulness^ but the coining step of eternal joys 'or heavens vet millions of miles away. Again, a nobla Hfdeal, ami confident expectation of approximating to it, will infallibly advance. The artist, complete* in his mind the great thought !iuM hej»jgfaes to transfer to the canvas «r the”marble

chisel. The architect pi sci oat the entire structure before "he orders the workmen to beyfin, and, though there may for a Ion* waits seem te> be nothing but blundering nnd j adenose, he has in his mind every Corinthian wreath and Gothic arch and. Byzantine capital. The poet arranges the entire plot before he begins to chime the first canto of tingling rythins. And yet, stranger to ns, there are men who attempt to buiid their character without knowing in the end whether it shall be a rude traitor's den or a St. Mark’s of Venice; men wbc begin to write the intricate poem of their lives without knowing whether it shall be a Homer’s “Odvseey” or a fly meter’s botch. Nine hundred and ninety-nine men oat of n thousand ore living without any great life-plot. Booted end spurred, and plumed, end urging their swift coarser in the hottest'haste. I come out and ask: “Halloo, man, whither away?” His response is: “Nowhere." Bash Into the busy whop nr store of many a one,, and taking the pteaA out of the man’s hand and luring down the yard-stick say : “Wfcstf 'UW ft all this about, so much stir auetetiweatP” The reply will stumble and break down between teeth and lips. Every day’s duty ought; oa’y to be the following up of the main plan of existence. Letmenbe consistent.

If one entering upon ithafel directions would only, In bis mind or oa paper, draw out in in awful reality tilts dreadful future, he would recoil from it, and say: “Am I a Dante, that by my own life I should write another Icfarnot” Kit- if you are ree olvedl to live a. life such as God and good men wOT approve, do hot let it be a vague dretun., an indefinite determination, but in your mind or upon paper sketch it in nil il» minuti a. You can not know the Changes to wh ich yon may ha subjected, but you may know what always wifi be fight aaci always will bo wrong.

Many yews, ago word came to we that two impostors, as temoeranee lecturers, had been speaking in Ohio in various places,«Ad giving their ewperlbnces; and they tow their audience that they had long been intimate with me, and had become drunkards by dining at my table, where I always had liquors of all sorts. Indignant to the lost degnee, I wsntdown to Patrick Campbell, chief of Brooklyn police, saying I was going to start that night lor Ohm to have these yfflains ar-rested,-and I wanted him to tel! me ho,w= to make an sirrsst.

Have God on your side, young man, and all the combined forces on earth and halt can do yon no damage. And this leads me to say that the mightiest of all defensB for a young man is the possession of thorough religious principle. Nothing can take the place of it. He may have manners that would put to shame the gracefulness and courtesy of a Lord Chesterfield. Foreign language may drop from his tongue. He may be able to discuss literature, and laws, and foreign customs. He may wield a pen of unequaled polish and power. His quickness and taet may qualify him for the highest salary of the counting-house. He may be as sharp as Herod and as strong as Samson, with as fine locks as those which t hung A bsalom, still he is ns* safe from ,contaminations. The more elegant his manner, and ,the more fascinating his dress, the m^jjjjsheril. Satan does not care much for the allegiance of a coward and an illiterate being. He can bring him into-4 efficient sorvice. But he loves to storm that castle of character which has in it the most spoils and treasures.

The more your natural and acqnired accomplishments Use more seed of the religion of Jesus, That does not cut in npon or hack up any smoothness of disposition or behavior. It gives symmetry. It arrests that in the soul which ought to bio arrested, and propels that which ought to be projieled. It fills up the gulleys. It elevateu and transforms.
