“A POISONED DINNER Strong Drink and Its Companion Evila Arraigned. The “Death In the #ot" that X»P« the rknhel mod Morel Nature* of Men. Destroys Faintly Ties and M tn- ’ ufactures Criminals. Rev. T, DeWltt Talmage took for the subject of a recent sermon “A Poisoned Dinner.** HU text was: 80 they poured out tor the men to est. And It came to paa». n» they were eallnR of the pottage. that they eriod out, and said: "O Thou man of Ood, there is death In the pot.” And they could not eat thereof.—t. King*. lr.. to. Elisha had gone down to lecture to the students in the theological semiuary at Ollgal. He found the students very hungry, as students are apt to he. It is very seldom the world makes large provision for those who give themselves to intellectunl toil. Iu order that these students may be prepared t<j> bear what Elisha says, he flrst feed* tlioir hunger. He kuew very well it is useless to talk, to proaeh, to lecture with huugry meu. Ho Elisha, recognixiug this common-sense principle, which every Christian ought to'recognise, seuds servants out to get-food for those hungry studeut*. They pick up some good, healthful herbs, but they * Ifappen to pick up also some coloquiutlda, a bitter, poisonona, deathful herb. They bring nil these herbs; • they put them Into the boiling pot; they stir them up', and then a portion .of this food lit brought t ith^stu5 dents' and their professors. Heated at the table, on* of the hungry students bei gins immediately to est, and lie happen* to get hold of some of the coloquiutida. He knew it by the taste. He cries out: “Poison, poison! Oh, thou man of God, there is death iu the pot!” Consternation Is thrown over the whole group. What a fortunate thing it was that this student so early found the coloqulnrtda In the mixture at the table! You will by reference (lad this story is precisely as 1 have mentioned it. Well, in our day there are great caldrou* of sin and death. Coloquintida of mighty temptation i* pressed into it. Home dip It out, and taste, and reject It aud Jive. Ibhers dip It out, taste It, keep on and die. Aud It is the business of every minister of religion and every man who wishes woll to the human race, aud who wants -to keop the world back from its follies aud its sufferings, to cry out: “Beware! poison! pol? son! L/mk out for this caldrou! Htand back I Beware!” Hin has done au nwful work iu »fir world. It has gone out through nil the ages, it has mixed up a grcul caldron of trouble and suffering aud |miu. and the whole race is poisoned—poisoned In body, jHiUgned In mind, poisoned. In soul. But blessed lie Ginl Hint the ioi'liel of Jesus Christ Is the antidote, and Where there was sin there shall be pardon, and where there was suffering there shall be comfort, aud where there was death there shall Be life. Rome time ago. you will remember. 1 persuaded, you of the importance of being charitable in judgment of others. At the same time 1 said to yon briefly what this morning I wish to say with great emphasis, that while we •jr npathixe with the sinner,, we must denounce the sin; that while we pity the ttnfortnunte, we must be vehement against transgression. Min i- a jagged thing that needs to be roughly bandied. You have no right to garland it with fin* phrases Or lustrous rhetoric. You can not Catch a buffalo with a silken '.asao. A.group of eraigraut i settle in a vt lld region. The next day a wild beast comes down from the mountain and carries off oas of ths children. The next day n wild beast comes down frouL the mountain and carries off anotluw- <®d. Forthwith all the neighbors hand together, and they go out With torch in one hand and gun iu the other to hunt these monsters down, to find their hiding place, to light up ami ransack the caverns, and to destroy the invaders of their houses. Mo we want now not merely to talk about the *ins and follies of the world, we want to go behind them, back uf them. Down into the caverns whore they bide we need to go with the torch of God** word in one band and the sword of God’s cternst spirit in the other to hunt out and slay these iniquities In their hidiug places, Ur, to com ■ back to the figure suggest.*! by my text, we wau. to find what are the caldrons of sin and death from which the iniquities of society are dipped out. In the first place, 1 remark, that unhappy and undisciplined home* are the caldrons of great iniquity. Parents, harsh and erne) on the one hand, or, on ■ the other hand, loose iu their government, wickedly loose in their government, are raising up a generation of viper*. A home where scolding nnd fretfulrn ss are dominant is blood relation to the gallows and the penitentiary! Petulance is a serpent that crawls tip into tie- family nursery sometigp * and crushes every thing. Why, th re arc parents who even make religion disgusting M their children. They sesdd them for not loving Christ, They have an exasperating way of doing their duty. The house is full of the war-wh»«p of contention, an I from such a place husband aud sou go out to die.

nisei into the desert to be smitten of the thir»t and parched of the samlf In the ' solemn birth hour n voice fell to thee from the throne of tied, saying: "Tuk-' this child and nurse it for me, ait i I will give thee thy wage*;" At even-time, when the angels of Ood h *ver over that » home, do they hearths children diaping the name of Jesus? U travel -r for eternity. your little oues gathered uu-ler your robe*, are you leading th-m on the right road, or are yon taking them oat on the dangerous winding bridle path. off which their inexperienced feet may slip, and up which come* lh« howling of the wolf aud the aound of loosened ledge aud tmutdiug avalanche? Blessed is the family altar at which the children kneel. Blessed is the cradle in which the Christian mother rock* the Christian child. Blessed is the *ong the UUle ones sing at uighttail, • when sleep is closing the eye* and lorneniug the hand from the toy on the pillow. Blessed la that mother whose every heart throb is a prayer for her children’s welfare. The world grows old. and the stars will cease to illuminate it. and the wal ‘re to refresh it, and the mountains to guard it, and the heaven* to overspan it, aud its long story of sin and shame, anil glory and triumph, will soon turn to ashes; but Influence* that started in the early home roll on and roll up through all eternity— bk&ming in all the Joy, waving iu all the triumph, exulting in all the song, 01 shrinking back into all the darkness. Father, mother, which way are you lending your children? A house took Are and the owner was very careful to get all his furniture out. He got all bis book* out, and he got all hts pictures out, and he gol all his valuable papers out, but he forgot to- ask. until it was too late: "Are my children safe?” Oh. when the earth shall melt with fervent beat, and the mountain* shall Mate, and the seas shall biaxe, and the earth shall blase, wilt your children be safe? Will your children be safe? Onhappy and undisciplined homes are the sources of much of the wretchedness aud sin trf tho wbrld. ' 1 know there are exceptions to U sometime*. From a bright and beautiful Christian home a husband or a son will go oat to die. Oh, how long you had that boy in yoar prayers! He does not know how many sleepless nights you tasve spent over hiss. He does not understand how many tear* you have she.) for his waywardness. Oh. it is hard, after you have tolled for a child, aud given him every advantage and every kindness, t« have him pay you back in ingratitude. As one Sabbath morning a father came it the foot of the pnlpit as I stepped out oi it, and said: ‘*0, my son. my son!” There is many a young man proud of his mother, a ho would strike into the dusl any man who would insult her. who is at this moment himself, by his evil doing . and hvs bad habits, sharpening a dagget to plant* through that mother’s heart. A telegram brought hint from afar. U« went Moated and scarred into the room and he stood by the lifeless form of hit *Hsr hair gray; it tuOr turned gray i* Mm*- ***« *r* ** **** ■

tear* over his wauleriags. That still whits hand had doue him many a kindness, and had written many a loving in* vitatiou and good counsel. He had broken her old heart He came Into the room and threw himself on the casket and he sobbed outright: “Mother, mother!" bnt those lips that had kissed him in infancy and ottered so many kind words spake not; they were sealed. Mather than have such a memory come on my soul, 1 would prefer to have roll over me the Alps and the Himalayas. But while sometimes there are sons who turn out very badly coming, from go**1 homes, 1 want to tell you for your encouragement it! is a great exception. V et an unhappy and undisciplined home is the poisonous caldron from which a vast multitude drink their death. I remark that another caldron of Iniquity is »n indolent life. All the rail trains down the Hudsou river yesterday, all the rail trains on the Pennsylvania ronle, all the trains on the Long Island road brought to these cities ynupg men to begin commercial life. -Some of them are here this morning, I doubt not. Do yon kuow what one of your great temptations is going to be? It is the example of Indolent people iu our cities. They «.re in all our cities. They dress better than some who are iudnstiious. They have access to all places of amusement—plenty of money, and yet idle. They hang around our great hotels—the Fifth Avenue, the Windsor, th§ Brunswick, the Htuyvesaut, 'the tiilsey House—all our beautiful hotels, you dud them around there auy day—men who do nothing, never earn any thing, yet well dressed, having plenty.^ Why should 1 work? ’ Why should yon work? Why drudge wild toil iu bank, and shop and cilice, or on the scaffolding, or by the . anvil, when these men get along so well nnd do not work? Home of them hang around the .Ciity Halls of our great cities, toothpick in their mouth, waiting for some crumb to fall from the officeholder’* table. Home of them hang around the City Hall for the city van bringing criminals from the aia-tiou-hou-es. They stnud there and gloat over it—really enjoy the disgrace aud suffering of those poor creatures as they got out of the, city vau aud go into the courts. Where do they get their money? That is what you ask. That is what I ask. Only four ways of getting money—only four: by inheritance, by earning it, by begging It, by stealing it; and there are a vast multitude among us who get their living not by inheritance, nor bv earning it, nor by begging it. I do not like to take the responsibility of sayiug how they-get it. Now, these men are n constant temptation. Why should 1 toil aud wear myself out iu the bank, or the office, or the stoic, or the shop, or the factory? These men have nothing to do. They get along a great deal better. Aud that is tine temptation under which a great many young men fall. They bogtu to consort with these men, these idlers, and they go down the same awful steeps. The number of men »n our cities who are trying to get their living by their wits and lay sleight of hand l* all the time increasing. A New Yu^minerehant saw a young man, one ofclerks, .in half disguise, going into a very low place of amusement. The merchant said to himself: ,-I must look out for thst clerk; he Is going lu bad company and going in bad places; ! must look out for him.” A few mouths passed on. and one morbific the merchant entered hl» store, and this clerk of whom I have been speaking cauie up in ass sutned consternation and said: “Oil, sir. the store has been on 8re; 1 have put oat the fire, but there are a great many goods lost; we have had a great crowd t)f people coming aud going.” Then the merchant took the clerk by the collar and said: "I have had enough of this: you can not deceive me; where are those goods you stole?” Th« young nian instantly confessed his villainy. It, the numbers of people iu these great cities who are trying to get their living not honestly! And ttiev are a mighly temptation to the industrious young man who can not understand It. While these others have it so. easy they have it so hard. HoraUus of olden time was told that he could have'just as.much ground as he could plow around with a yoke of oxen iu one dav. lie hooked up the oxen to the plow, and he cut a very large Hrrile and plowed until he came to the same point where he started, and all that property »a* his, But 1 have to t«Jl you he day that just, so much financial, jnst io much moral, just so much spiritual possession you will have as you compass wiih your, own industries, and just so much as from the morning of your life to the eveuing of your life you can plow around with your own,hard work. “Ho to the nut. thou sluggard; consider her wavs and' lie wi*e.” One of the most awful caldrons of death to-day Is an indolent life. Thank God that you have to I work.

Knee more I remark: inti in- ur.vin -hop l* » trmt caldron of iniquity iu our time. Anacharsi* - i il I hit the Tin* b *rr three grape** the first »«« pleasure, the next was druiikennc-s, and the next misery. Every saloon above (-round or under ground is a fotiotain of iniquity. It limy have a license and it may go along quite respectably for awhile, but after awhile the cover will fall off and llie color of the iniquity will be displayed. • Oh." sav* -oni > one. “you ought to he ea-ier on -urh a traffic* when it pays such a large revenue to the Government, and helps to support vonr schools and your great institution* of mercy.” And then I think of what William K. Gladstone said — I think it was the first time he was Chance lor of the Exchequer—when men engaged in that ruinous traffic came to him and -aid their bosiuess.ought to have more consideration from the fact that it paid siteh a large revenue to the English Government Mr. Gladstone said: “Gentlemen, don’t worry yourselves about the revenue; give me thirty millions of sober people, and we’ll bare revenue enough and a surplus.” We might in this country—this traffic {•ensiled—have less revenue, but w» would have more happy homes, and we would have more peace, and we would have fewer people in the penitentiary, and there would ba tens of thousands of men who are now on the road to hell who would start on the road to Heaven. Bu t the fiuancial ruin is a very small part of it. This iniquity of which I speak takes every thing that is sacred out of the family, every thing that is holy in religion, > every thing that is Infinite in the soul I uud tramples it under foot, The marriage | day has come. The twain are at the altar. 1 Light* flash. Music sounds. Gay feet i go up and dowu the drawing-room. ' Did ever a vessel launch on such a ; bright and beautiful sea? The scene : changes. Dingy garret. So fire. On .a ! broken chair a sorrowful wife. Last | hope gone, 1’oor, forsaken, trodden unj der foot, she knows all the sorrow of being a drunkard’s wife. “Oh,” she says, “be was the kindest man that ever lived, he was so noble, he was so good! Gk»J | never made a grander man than he wffls, : but the drink did it, the drink did it.r ; Some day she will press her hamli | against her temples and cry: “Oh. biy ■ brain, my brain’.” or she will go out on j the abutui»at of the bridge some moonlight night and look down the glassy sur- | face and wonder if uuder that plasty j surface there is not some rest for a t broken heart. A young man, through the intercession of metropolitan friends, gets a - ’use in a hank or store. He is going to leave Ids country home. That morning they are up early in the old homestead; The i trunk t* in the wngon. Mother says: | “My son. I put a Bible in the trunk; I hope you will real it often.” She wipes the tears away with her apron. “Oh,” he says, “come, don’t be worried, I know bow to take care of my self. Don’t be j worried about uie.” The father says: "My son, lie a good boy, and write hone often; your-mother will be anxions to hear from yon.” Crock! goes film whip, and over the hills goes the wagon. Five years passed on, and n dissipated life has done its work tor that young naan. There is a hearse coming ap in front erf th» oil homestead. Tile young men of the neighborhood who ha ve staid on the farm coma in and say: “Is it passible! Why, he doesn't look natural, does he! Is that the fair brow ire used to know! Is that the healthy cheek we used to know! It can’t he pee*Wt that ft M®," Th« w*a» »*«4 -

.... lookin * at th# pah in the forehead from whioh the life ooaed out, and they lift their hands and nay: “O ray »on Absalom, my son, my son Absalom; would Ood I had died for thee, O Absalom, my son, my son I'* Loreuzo de Medici was very sick, and some of his superstitious friends thought If they coaid dissolve a certain number of pearls In a cup, and Jhen he would drink them it would cure him of the disease. So they went around and they gathered up all the beautiful pearls they could find, and they dissolved them in a cup and the sick man drank thetu. Oh, it was an expensive draught. But 1 tell you of a more expensive draught than that. Drunkenness puts into its cup the pearl of physical health, the pearl of domestic happiness, the pearl of respectability, the pearl of Christian hope, the pearl of an everlasting Heaven, and presses it to the hot lips. I tell you the dramshop is the gate of hell. The trouble is they do not put up the right kiud of a sign. They have a great many different kind of signs now on places where strong drink is sold. One ts called the “restaurant," and another is called the “saloon,” nnd another is called the “hotel,” nnd another is called the “wine cellar,” and another is called the “sample room.” What a name to give one of those places! A ‘“sample room 1” I saw a man on the steps of one of those “sample rooms” the other day, dead drunk. I said to myself: “I suppose that is a sample I” I tell you It is the gate of hell. ! “Oh,” say« some man. “I am kind, I am indulgent to my family, I am right tn many respects, 1 am very generous, and I have too grand and generous a moral nature to be overthrown in that way.” Let me say that the persons who are in the most peril have the largest hearts the best education, the brightest prospects. This sin chooses the fattest lambs for its sacrifice. The brightest garlands are by this carbuncled hand of drunkenness torn off the brow of the poet and the orator. Charles Lamb, answer! Thomas Hood, answer! Sheridan, the English orator, answer! Kdgar A. Poe, answer! Junius Bruins Booth, answer! Oh, come and look over into it while I draw off the cover—hang over it and look dowu into It, and see the seethiug, boillug. loathsome, smoking., agonizing, blaspheming hell of the drunkard. Young men. be master of your appeUtaa and passions. There are hundreds—might I not say thousands?—of young men in this house this morning—young men of fair prospects. Put your trust in the Lord Ood and all is well. But you will be tempted. I Perhaps yon may this moment be addressed on the first Sabbath of your coming to the great city, and I give you this | brotherly counsel. 1 speak not in a per- | functory way. I speak as an older brother talks to a younger brother. I put my hand on your shoulder this day and commeud you to Jesus Christ, who Himself^ was a young man and died while yet a* young man, and has sympathy for all young mem Oh, he master, by the grace of (bid, of your appetites and passioiul 1 close with a peroration. Ministers and speaker* are very apt to close with a peroration, and they generally roll up some grand Imagefy to express what they have to say. I close with a peroration mightier thau was ever uttered by mere I human lips. Two quotations. The first is this; "Who hath woe? who hath I babbling? who hath wounds without j cause? They that tarry long at , the wine, they that go to seek | mixed wiue. Look not upon the wiue when It is red, when It moYeth itself aright in the cup, for at last it biteth like a serpent and stingeth like an adder.” This is the other quotation. Make up j your mind as to which is the more int- | presstve. I think the last is the mightier: j "Rejoioe, O young man, in thy youth, aud j let thy .heart cheer thee in the days of thy j youth, ami walk thou in the sight of thine '■ own eyes; but know thou that for all j these things Ood will bring thee into j judgment.”

A TRAVELING ^MOUNTAIN. | One That Might Have Saved Mohsmmea the Trouble of a Journey. Such a mountain is found at the Cascades j of the Columbia Ore. It U a huge triple | peaked mass of dar); brown basalt, six or j j eight miles in length, where It fronts the j river and rises to a height of almoet 4,<k» . feet above the water.

It cost ono dollar apiece to lay tho bricks in the ceiiing of the New York Assembly chamber. A Romeo of Othello’s hue at Swithvltle, Va, proposed to his girl at Portsmouth by telephone. She said “yea" Hermann plays a neat trick on dead-beats who ask for a pass. HOsjyrites out a pass for them with great readiness, but when they examine it after a few minutes they discover that it is nothing but a blank card. One transatlantic lino of steamships in Hew York uses 20,000 tons of ice, 2,000,000 pounds of meat, 1,000,000 eggs, 50.000 loaves of bread, 33 tons of raisins and currants, 400 tons of flour and 15 tons of cheese every year. No wonder President Harrison longs for a period of rest in some qniet spot by tho sea. During his first month iu ofllco he made 374 appointments and shook hands with 9,143 office-seekers and 43,000 unofficial visitors. The New York Bun says that the biggest revenue, on the smallest capital and the ' least work. Is now made in that city in summer time, by the colored women who sell buttered hot corn and soft-shell crabs on street cornors. There are seventy men, all American citizens, whose fortunes aggregate the big total of 11,413.000,000. This exceeds by fSl.000,000 the totul money circulation of the United States on tho first day of the preseut month, according to the Treasury statement. • Pine sand and glucose are to be found in the sugar of to day; alum in tho bread wa cat; cheese is curdled sour milk compressed. colored and flavored to suit the taste by poisonous and deleterious agents used b.v the manufacturer to conceal the real nature and composition of his production. Milk, too, la a familiar old chestnut in the range of watering and coloring W give it a standard appearance and taste. There was recently a witness put upon the stand who spoke only French. There was only ono interpreter who spoke French, and he spoke only French and Italian. There was only one Italian interpreter who spoke Italian and English. 'So the testimony of the witness delivered in French was translated into Italian by 1 be ilrat Interpreter, then from Italian into English by the second Interpreter, and thus through three tongues reached tho judge. TALK OF THE TITLED. The Duke of Westminster is tho richest. of Queen Victoria's subjects iu Great Britain. It Is not surprising that her royal highness the Princess of Wales is losing a little of the bloom of youth, considering that she is nearing forty-five. The Czar of Russia recently celebrated his forty-fifth birthday. This.is a remarkable fact when the record of plots against his iifius looked at. j5i>t Hausbi'rt Is very unpopuiarin London society. She attempted to,put on arrogant airs by reason of her husband's position. The other ladies would not hfvoit that way. Stricken With Apoplexy. An aged gentleman of our acquaintance went out after a hearty meal to remove the Ire from the sidewalk. He worked os on old man naturally would with his head and shoulders bent low. He suddenly fell, became unconscious and soon died. What was the reuse of his death! Apoplexy- the physician would say apoplexy of tho brain. In persons of good health, the coats of the arteries throughout tho entire body are tough and elastic. In unhealthy persons, particularly those whose kifciMjy are diseased. tho walls of the arteries undergo “degeneration”—due to the action of the impurities in the blood which the kidneys have been unable to remove. In these case,, when tho action of the heart is intensified by vigorous exercise, or excitement, the pressure upon some artery becomes too strong for it in its weakened state -a rupture occurs and a stroka of apoplexy follows ms a matter ol course. , Derangements of tho kidneys arc a rent; mon cause of apoplexy. Whenever they fail in the complete removal of the waste matter In the blood, the deadly poison known as uric acid accumulates, and creep* through all the blood channels where it rapidly causes decay. oil nwvAnif*

ouch as paralysis, consumption, heart disease and nervous disorders, is directly attributable to a failure of the kidneys iu their special function of purifying the blood. Kidney derangement is without doubt the most aggravating as well as the most prevalent of all ills of the present day. and unless kidney disease is taken in time and a prompt restorative, such as Warner’s Safe Cure, applied—death will inevitably result. Advanced kidney disease has baffled thi united efforts of the best physicians for years and it is solely due to Warner’s Safe Cure, a simple vegetable discovery, that modern science has been able to success fully cope with it. Life insurance companies make sure of its non-existence before issuing their poli ties and the learned and careful physician will not attempt to prescribe for a patient afflicted with serious illness before first ascertaining if this disease is present * Bon Windsor Lock (Conn.) people who forwarded (1 each for a “music box capable of playing twenty-three tunes’’ received a large' package ' on which sixty cents express was charged containing three five-cent harmonicoas“Tukre is a tide in the affairs of men which if taken at the flood leads on to fortune. ’’ If your affairs are at a low ebb now, don’t fail to write- to B.
