He said: The editor of a Boston newspaper a few dare ago wrote asking me the terse questions: “What Is the road to happiness?” and:‘‘Ought happiness be the chief aim of life?” Hy answei wan “The road to happiness is the continuous effort hi make others happy. The chief aim of life ought to ho neefulness, not happiness: hut happiness always fellows usefulness.” This morning’s text in a strong way sets forth the truth that a woman who seeks iu worldly advantage her chief enjoyment, will gome to disappointment and death. ,.

At times you feel , a thorough uDres*. You know as well as older people What it is to bo depressed. As dark shadows somet mss fall upon the geography of the school girl as on the , page of the spectacled philosopher. I hare seen as cloudy lays in May as in November. There are no deeper sighs brsathed by I be grandmother than hy the granddaughter. I correct the popular impression that people ahe happier in childhood and youth than they e ver will be again. If we live aright, the older the happier. The bappirat woman that I aeer knew was a Christ an octogenarian; her hair wh to as White could lie; the sunlight of Heaven late in the afternoon gilding the peaks of snow. 1 hare to sav to n great many of the young people that the most miserable t*ma Ivon are ever 'io have Is just now. As you advance in life, as .yon come eat into the world and bare your head and heart all. full of good, . honest, practical Christian work, then yon will know wrhat It is to begin to be happy. T^ere are those who wool 1 bare us believe that life Is chasing thistledown and grasping bubbles. We hare not found it so. To mauv of us it lias been discovering diamonds larger than the Kutilnoor, and I think that our Joy will continue to increase until nothing short of the everlasting jubilee of lli-aren will be able lo express it. Horatio 0reenough, at the close of the hardest life a man ever lives—I he life of an American artist—wrote: “I don’t want to leave this world until 1 give same sign that, liorn by the grace of Hod in this land, I have found life to b> a very cheerful thing, and not the dark and bitter thing with wlilob my early prospects ware clouded.” Albert Barnd*,” the good Christian, ’known the world over, stood in his pulpit hi Philadelphia, at seventy or elghty year* of age, and said; , “This world is so very attractive tome, 1 am very sorry. 1 shall have lo leave it.” I know that Solomon said some very Co dolorous things about this -world, and ' threeriimes declared; “Vanity of rani"klea, alt (a vanity.” I suppose it was a sferenee to those times in his career when seven hundred wives almost pestered life out of him. But 1 would ifather rn to the description be gave aftier his iversjon, when bo says in another BMpt ’ - "Her wavs‘are Svays of pleasantness, and all her paths are pence.”

And ought not the implantation of agrain of Chriitian principle in a youthful foul develop into a large crop of g’atnesson earth and to a harvest of eternal joy in Heaven? Hear me, then,-while I dU - course upon some of the mistakes which young |*eople make in regard to' happiness, and point out to the young Women what I consider to bo the source of complete satisfaction. Anil, in the first place, I advVe you not to build your happiness ujhiu mere scocial posit on.

Infinite mistake! The pa'.ace floor of Abasnrrus Is red with th» blood cf Yashli's broken heart. There bare been no more scald In* tears wept than tii ><-. mliii-h c Kirs l the cheeks of Joseph.n*.

Yon have come out from ycur home, and you have looked up at the great house, and covet a life under those arches, when, p-r!iupi, at that very moment, within that house, there may have been the wring.ng of hands the alart of horror‘and th> very agony of hell. 1 knew such an one. Her father’s house was plain, most of the jx-ople who rarne there were plain; but, by a change in fortune eucli ae sometimei comes, a hand bad been off -red that Ird her into a brilliant sphere. All the neighbors congratulated her upon her grand prospects; but what an exchange! Oa her side it was a heart full of generous impulse and affection. On bit aid-.- it was a soul dry - and withered as the stubbie of tbo field. On bar side it wai a father’s house, where Uod was honored and the Sabbath light flooded the rooms with the very mirth of Heaven. On his >ile it was a gorgeous reeidonce, and the coming of mighty men to be entertained there, but within it ware revelry and godlusauees. Hardly had the orange bloesoms of the main age feast lost their fragrance, than the night of discontent began to cast here and there its shadows. Crnclties and uukindnessm changed ad those splendid trappings into a hollow mockery. The platters of solid silver, the casket of pore gold, the head-dress of gleaming diamonds, were there; but no Uod, no peace, no kind words, no Christian sympathy. The festal music that broke on the captive’* ear turned out to beadirge, and the pr-ath in the ptnsh was a repine' evil, and tbo npholstcry that swayed In the wind was the wing of a destroying angel, and the bead-drops oa the pitcher were the sweat of everlasting despnirjjbO bow nany rivalries and unhappineajft* among those whe seek In sscial life their chief happiness!

That bitterness will be Increased by all the surroundings of that home; by erery chair, by erery picture, by the old-time mantel ornaments, by every thing you can think of as connected w ith that home. All those things will rouse up agonising memories. Young women, hare you any thing to do in the wny of making roar father’s home happy! Now is the time to attend to it, or leave it forever undone. Time is living very quickly away. I suppose you notice the wrinkles are gathering and accumulating on those kindly faces that have so long looked upon you; there is fro<t in the locks; the foot is not as Arm in its step as it used to 1 >; and they will soon he gone. The heaviest clod that ever falls on a parent's coffin-lid is the memory of an ungrateful daughter. O, make their last days bright and beautiful. Do not act as though they were iii the way. Ask their counsel, *e»k their praver*. and, after long years have passed and you go out to see the grave where they sleep, you will Hr I growing all over the tnound something lovlier than cv pro* <, something sweeter than the sweet rose, something chaster that the 111 v—the bright and beautiful memories of filial kindness performed ere the dying hand dropped on you a benediction, nnd you closed the lidi over the weary I eves of .the worn ont pilgrim.

Oh, it is a good time for a young woman when she is in her father’s bouse. Hour carefnl Jbev are of her wejfare. How watchful those parents of VI her interests.

(Sod pity that young woman’s soul who, in thnt dark fat ur, has nothing but regretful recollections., I go further, and advise ^ou not to depend for enjoyment upon mere persona' attractions. It would be sheer hypocrisy, because we may not have it ourselves to despise or affect to despise, beauty in other*.

The lieautifnl Abigail, the wife of Nabal, went out to arrest him when he came down from the mountains, and she succeeded. Coming to the foot of the hill, she knelt. David

The Bible aet* before u* the portrait* of Sarah, and Rebecca, and Abishag, Absalom's »f«ter, and Job's daughter*, and <»vt: ‘"They were fair to look upon.” By out-(loor exercise, and by skllfii arrangement of apparel, let women make themselves ,attractive. The sloven hn* only one miasioft, and that to excite our loathing an l disgust. But ala*! for those who depend upon personal charms for th-lr happiness. Beauty is inch a subtle thing, ft does not seem to depend npon facial proportions, or upon ithe sparkle of the eve, or upon the flush of the cheek. You sometime* find it among irregular features. It is | the soul shining through the foc> that make* one beautiful.^ But alail for those who depend upon mere personal charm*. They will c me to disappointment and to great fret" There are to many different opinions about what are persona! charms; and then sickness, and tronble, and age. do make such ravages. The poorest god that a woman ever worships is her own face. The sad lest sight id all the world-Is a woman who has built •very thing on god looks, when the' charms begin to vanish. Cl, how they try tp-cover the wrinkles and hide the ravages of time! When time, with Iron-shod foot, steps on a face, the hoof-marks remain. and you can not hide them. It is silly to try to hide them. I think the most repulsive fool in the world la an old fool! Why, mv friends, shottldyou be ashamed to be getting old? It f* u sign—It is prims facia ev denes that you have behaved tolerab v well, or you would not have lived to this time. The grandest thing, I think, is eternity, and that i* made up of countless years. When the Bible would set forth the attractiveness of Jesns Christ, itsavs: "His hair was white as snow.” But when ihe color goes from the cheek, and the I uatrr from the eye. and the spring j from the step, and the gracefulness from the gait, alas! for those who have Ira It .their time and their eternity upon good looks. But all the pa*-age of years can not takeout cf one’s face benignity, and k ndness, and compassion, and faith. Culture vour heart and yon culture yonr face. The brghtest glory that ever beamed from a woman’* face is the religion of Jeeps Christ. In the last war two hundred wounded soldiers cams td Philadelphia one night, and came uu|firaled, and they had to extemporise a hospital for them, and the Christian women of mr cbnrch and of other churches went oat that night to take care of the poor wounded fellows That night I saw a Christian woman go through the wards of the hospital, her sleeves rolled up, ready for hard . work, her hair disheveled in the excitement of the hour. Her face was plain, very plain; but after the wounds were washea and the new tandages. were put round the splintered limbs, and the exhausted boy fell off Into hia first pleasant sleep, she put her hand on his brow, and he started in his dream and said: “Oh, 1 thought an angel touched mi!" There may have been no classic elegance in the features of Mrs. Harris, who came into the hospital after the “seven days” awfnl fight, as she sat down by a wounded drummer boy and heard hint soliloquise: “A tall through ray body, and my poor mother wil never again see her boy. Whst a p'ty it is!” And she leaned over him and said: “Shall I be your mother and comfort you?” And he looked up and said: “Yes; I’ll try to think she’s here* Please to write a long letter to her and tell her sll about it, and send her a lock of my hair and comfort her. But I would like to have you tell h»r how much I suffered—yes, t wou'd like you to do that, lor the would feel so for me. Hold my hand while 1 d e. ” There may have been no classic elegance in her features, bat all ths hospitals of Harrison’s Landing and Portress Monroe would have agreed that she sll beautiful; and if any rough man la all that ward had insulted her. some wounded soldier won d have leaped from his couch, on his beet foot, and struck him dead with a crutch. Again: I advise you not to depend for happiness apoa th» flntterit* mea. |t

Oh, let no one trample on your self-respect - The meanest thing on which a woman can build her happiness is the Batteries of men. Again, t charge yon not to depend for happiness U|>on the discipleship ot worldiinese. I hare seen men as rain ot their old-fashioned and their eccentric hat as yonr brainless fop is prond of his dang* ling fooleries. Fashion sometimes makes a reasonable demand ot us, and then we . ought to yield to it The daisies of tbs Held have their fashion of color and leaf; the honeysuckle* bare their fashion of rar-drop, and tha snowflakes flungwut of the winter henveus.have their fashion ot exqnisftnnss. 1 After the summer shower the sky wed s the earth with ring of rawbow. And I do not think we have a right to despise the elegancies and fashions ot this world, especially it they make reasonable demands upon us; but the discipieship and worship of fashion is death to the body, and death to the 'eoul. 1 am glad the world is improving. Look at the fashion pistes of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, and you, will find that the world ta not so extravagant and extraordinary now as it was then, and all the marvelous things that the granddaughter will dp will never equal that done by the grandmother. Go still farther back, to the Bible times, and yon will find that in those times fashion w ieided a more terrible sceptre. You 1 ave enly to turn to the third chapter ot Isaiah, a | ortion of the Scriptures from which 1 once preached to Vou a sermon, to read: Because the daughters of Zion are haughty and walk with stretched-forth necks and wanton eyes, walking and miurtng as they go. and making a tlnkl nl’ with their feet: in that day the Lorg will take a wav the bravery of their tinkling ornaments about their feet, and the r cauls, and their round tires like the moon, the chains and the bracelets, and the milliters. the bonnets, and the headband*, and the tablets, and the ear-rings, the rings, and the nose jevels, the changeable suits of apparel, and (hr mantles, and the wimples, and the crisping pins, the glasses, and the tine linen, and the hoods, and the vails.

On!; think of a woman having all that on! 1 am glad tha world, it get tin- better and that fashion which w«i dominated in the world so ruinously in other days has for a little time, for a little decree at any rate, relaxed its energies. All the splendors and extravaganza of this world dyed into your rob:> and flang over your shoulder can not wrap peace around your heart for a s ngle moment. The gaye it wardrobe will utter no voioe of condolence in the day of tronble and darkneis. * That woman is grandly dressed, and only she, who is wrapped In the robe of a Saviour’s righteousness. The home may be very humble, the bat may bs very plain, the frock may be very coarse: but the halo of Heaveu settles in the room when she wears it, and the faintest touch of the resurrection angel w.ill change that garment into raiment exceeding white, so as no fuller on ra th could whiten it. I come to vOu, young women, to-day to sav that this world ran hot make you happy. 1 know it is a bright world, with glorious sunshine, and golden rivers, aud flre-woiked sunset, and bird orchestra, and the darkest cave has its crystals, and the wrath est ware Its foam srreatb, and th > coldest midnight its flaming aurora; but God will put out all these lights with the blast of His own nostrils, and the glorjes of this world will perish In the final conflagration. Y ou will never be happy until yon get your sins forgiren and allow Christ Jesus to take full possession of your soul. He will be your friend In erery perplexity. He be your comfort in every trial He will he your defender in every strait I do not ask you to br ug, like Mary, the spices to the sepulchre of a dead Christ, but to bring your all to the f jet of a living Jesus. His word is peace. His I >ok is love. His hand is help. His touch is life,. His smite is Heaven. O, come, then, in flocks and groups. Come like the south wind over lianks of myrrh. Come like,the morning light tripping evor the mountains. Wreath all your affections on Christ’s brow, set ail your gems in Christ’s coronet, pour all your voices into Christ’s song, and let this Sabbath air rustle with the wings of rejoicing angels, and the towers of God ring out the news of souls saved. This s> erld its fancied pearl may crave, 'Tismot the pearl for me; ’Twill il.m Us luster In the grave. Twilit perish In the sea. But there's a pearl of prioe untold. Which, never can be bought with gold; O, that's the pearl for me. The snow was very deep, and it was still falling rapidly when, in’the first year of my Christian ministry, I hastened to see a young woman die. It was a very bumble home. She was an orphan; her father had been shipwrecked on the banks of Newfoundland. She bad earned her own living. As l entered the room 1 sew nothing attractive. No pictures, no tarestry. not even a cushioned chair. The snow on the window caiemrnt was not whiter than the cheek of that dying girl It was a face never to be forgotten. Sweetness and majesty of soul and fai’jt in God had given her a matchless beauty, and the sculptor who could have caught the outlines of those features and frozen them into stone would have made himself immortal With her large brown eyes she looked calmly Into the great eternity. I sat down by her bedside and said: “Now tell mo all your troubles, and sorrow a and struggles, and doubts.” She replied: *T base no doubts or straggles. It is sit plain to me. Jesus has smoothed the way for my feet. I wish when you go to your pullpit next Sunday, you would tell the young people that religion will make them happy. *0 death, where is thy sting?’ Mr. Talmage. I wonder If this is not the bliss of dying?” I said: "Yes, I think it must be.” I lingered around the couch. The son was setting, and her sister lighted a candle. She lighted the candle for me. The dying girl, the dawn of Heaven in her face, needed no candle. 1 rose to go, and she

The light of another day had burst in n|>on her soul. Good morning! The aagelr were singing her welcome home, and the hand of Christ was putting upon her brow a garland. Good morning! Her son rising. Her palm waring. Her spirit exalting before the throne of God! Good morning! Good morning! The white lily of poor Margaret’s cheek had Mushed into the rose ol heeltii immortal, and the snows through which, we carried her to the country graveyard were symbols of that robe which she wears, so wbita that no fuller on earth could whiten it.
