“THE PLAGUE OF LIES.” Rev. T. DeWitt Talmage Discourses on a Fruitful Topic. The Social, Mercantile and Mechanical Atmosphere of the Great Cities Constantly Contaminated with the Poisonous Air of Falsehood. The following discourse in continuation of his series on “The Plagues of. the Citie^” was delivered in Brooklyn and New York city by Rev. T. DeWitt Talmage, the subject being “The Hague of Lies.” His text was: Te shall not surely die.—Genesis, ill.,4. That was a point blank lie. Satan told it to Eve to induce her to put her semi-circle of white, beautiful teeth into a forbidden apricot, or plum, or peach, or apple. He practically said to her: “Oh, Eve! Just take a bit of this and you will be omnipotent and omniscient. You shall be as gods.” Just opposite was the result. It was the first lie that was ever told in our world. It opened the gate for all falsehoods that have ever alighted on this planet. It introduced a plague of lies. Far worse than the plagues of Egypt, for they were on the banks of the Nile, but this on the banks of the Hudson, on the banks of the East river, on the banks of the Ohio, and the Mississippi, and the Thames, and the Rhine, and the Tiber, and on both sides of all rivers. The Egyptian plagues lasted only a few* weeks, but for six, thousand years has raged this plague of lies. There are a hundred ways of telling a lie. A man’s entire lue may be a falsehood, while with his lips he may not once directly falsify.. There are those who state what is positively untrue, but afterwiyd say: - “May be,” softly These departures from the truth are called “white lies;” but there is really no such thing as a white lie. The whitest lie that was ever told was as black as perdition. No inventory of public crimes will be sufficient that omits this gigantic abomination. There are men high in church and state, actuaUy useful, self-denying and honest ip many things, who, upon certain subjects, and in certain spheres, are not at all to be depended upon for veracity. Indeed, there are many men and women who have their notions of truthfulness So thoroughly perverted that they do not know when they are lying. With many it is a cultivated sin; with some it seems a natural infirmity. I have

ivuuvv ii pcupic '«uu scvuicu iu ua«u ucru bom liars. The falsehoods of their lives extended from cradle to grave. Prevarications, misrepresentations, and dishonesty of speech appeared in their first utterances, and were as natural to them as any of their infantile diseases, and were a sort of moral croup or spiritual scarlatina. But many have been placed in circumstances where this tendency has day by day, and hour by hour, l>een called to larger development. They have gone from attainment to attainment, and from class to class., until they have become regularly graduated liars. The air of the city is filled with falsehoods. They hang pendant from the chandeliers of our finest residences; they crowd the shelvesvof some of our merchant princes; they fill the sidewalk from curbstone to brownstone facing. They cluster around the mechanic's hammer. and blossom from the end of the merchant’s yard stiek, and sit in the doors, of chinches. Some call them “fiction.’ Some Style them “fabrication.” You might say that they were subterfuge, disguise, delusion, romance, evasion, pretense, fable, deception, misrepresentation; but as I am ignorant of anything to- be gained by the hiding of a God-defying outrage under a lexicographer's blanket, I shall chiefly call them what my father taught me to call them—lies. I shall divide them into agricultural, mercantile, mechanical, ecclesiastical, and social lies.

first, l will speak ot tnose mat are more particularly agricultural, There is something in the perpetual presence of natural objects to make a man pure. The trees never issue “false stock.” Wheat fields are always honest. Rye and oats never move out in the night, not paying for the place they have occupied. Corn shocks never make false assignments. Mountain brooks are always “current.” The gold on the grain is never counterfeit. The sunriseyiever flaunts in colors. The dew sports only genuine diamonds. Taking farmers as a class, I. believe they are truthful and fair in dealing, and kind-hearted. But the ^regions surrounding our cities do not always send this sort of men to our markets. Day by day there creak through our streets, and about the market houses, far n wagons that have not an honest spoke in their wheels, or a truthful rivet from tongue to tail-board. During the last few years there have been times when domestic economy has foundered on the farmer's firkin. Neither high taxes, nor the high price of dry goods, nor the exorbitancy of labor could excuse much that the city has witnessed in the behavior of the yeomanry. By the quiet firesides in Westchester and Orange counties 1 hope there may be seasons of deep reflection and hearty repentance. Rural districts are accustomed to rail at great cities as given up to fraud and every form of unrighteousness; but our cities do not absorb all the abominations. Our citizens have learned the importance of not always trusting to the size and style of apples in the top of a farmer’s barrel as an indication of what may be found farther down. Many of our people are accustomed to wateh and see how correctly a bushel of beets is measured; and there are not many honest milk cans. Deceptions do not all cluster round city halls. When our cities sit down and weep over their sins, all the surrounding countries ought to come in and weey iwith them. There is often hostility on the part of producers against traders, as though the man who raises the corn was necessarily more honorable than the grain dealer, who pours it into his mammoth bin. There ought to be no such hostility. Yet producers often think it no wrong to snatch away from the trader; and they say to the bargain-maker. “You get your money easy.” Do they get it easy? Let those who in the quiet field and barn get their living exchange places with those who stand to-day amid the excitements of life, and see if they very easY. While the farmer goes to sleep with the assurance that his corn and barley will be growing all the night, moment by moment adding to the revenue, the merchant tries to go to sleep, conscious that that moment his cargo may be broken on the rocks, or damaged by the wave that sweeps clear across the hurricane deck* or that reckless speculators may, that very hour. be plotting some monetary revolut ion, or the burglars be prying open hirwfe, or his debtors fleeing the town,, or bis landlord raising the rent, or the ffres kindling on the block that contains all his estates. Easy I Is it? God help the merchants! It is hard to have the palms of the hands with outdoor work; but a when, through commercial find it so

to specify the different forms of commercial falsehood. There arc merchants who excuse themselves for deviation from truthfulness because of what they call commercial custom. In other Words, the multiplication and universality of a sin turns it into a virtue. There have been large fortunes gathered where there was not one drop of unrequited toil in the wine; not one spark of bad temper flashing from the bronze bracket; not one drop of needlewoman's heart-blood in the crimson plush; while there are other great establishments in which there is not one door-mat, not one brick, not one trinket, not one thread of lace, but has upon it the mark of dishonor. What wonder if, some day, a hand of toil that had been wrung, and worn out, and blistered until the skin came off, should be placed against the elegant wall-paper, leaving its mark of blood—four fingers and a thumb; or that, some day, walking the halls, there should be a voice accosting the occupant, saying, “Six cents for making a shirt;” and, flying the room, another voice should say, “Twelve cents for an army blanket;” and the man should try to sleep at night, but ever and anon be aroused, until getting up on one elbow, he should shriek out, “Who’s there?” One Sabbath night, in the vestibule of my church after service, a woman, fell in convulsions. The doctor said she needed medicine not so much as something to eat. As she began to revive in her delirium, she said gaspingly: “Eight cents!” Eight cents! I wish I could get it done; I am so tired! I wish I could get some sleep; but I must get it done! Eight cents; Eight cents!” We found afterward that she was making garments for eight cents apiece, and that she could make but three of them a day! Three times eight are twenty-four! Hear it, men and women who have comfortable homes. Some of the worst villains of the city are the employers of these women. They beat them down to the last penny, and try to cheat them out of 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 flaws picked out and the wages refused, and sometimes the dollar deposited not given back. The Woman's Protective union reports a case where one of these poor souls, finding a place where she could get more wages, resolved to change employers, and went to get her pay for work done. The employer says: “I hear you are going to leave me?” “Yes,” she said, “and I am come to get what you owe me.” He made no answer. She said: “Are you not going to pay me?” “Yes,” he said, “I will pay you;” and he kicked her down the stairs. rm__i.i_i_a ±_l_

in commercial spheres that are throughout righteous God will let His favor rest upon every scroll, every pictured wall, every traceried window; and the joy that flashes from the lights, and showers from the music, ami dances in the children’s quick feet, pattering through the hall, will utter the congratulations of men and the approval of God. A merchant can, to the lastitem, be thoroughly honest. There is never any need of falsehood. Yet how many will, day by day, hour by hour, utter what they know to be wrong. You say that you are selling at less than cost. If so, then it is right to say it. Hut did that cost you less than what you ask for it? If not, then you have falsified. You say that that article cost you twentyfive dollars. Did it? If so, then all right. If it did not, then yon have falsified. Suppose you are. a purchaser. You are “beating down” the goods. You say that that article for which five dollars is charged is not worth more than four dollars. Is it worth no more than four dollars? Then all right. If it be worth more, and lor the sake of getting it for less than its value, yon willfully depreciate it-you have falsified. ■ You mav call it a sharp trade. The recording angel writes it down on the ponderous tomes of eternity: “Mr! So and So, merchant on

Water street, or in Elizabeth street, or in State street; or Mrs. So and So, keeping house on Beacon street,' or "on Madison avenue, or Rittenhouse square, or Brooklyn heights of Brooklyn hill, told one falsehood.” Yon may consider it insignificant, because relating to an insignificant purchase. You would despise the man who would falsify in regard to some great matter, in which the city or the'whole country was concerned, but this is only a box of buttons, or a row ot pins, or a case of needles. Be not deceived. The article purchased may be so small you can put it in your vest pocket, but the the sin was bigger than the Pyramids, and the echo of the dishonor will reverberate through all the mountains of eternity. You throw on your counter some specimens of handkerchiefs. Y’our customer asks: “Is that all silk? no cotton in it?” You answer: “It is all silk.” Was it all silk? If so, all right. But was it partly cotton? Then yon have falsified. Moreover, you have lost by the falsehood. ,The customer, though he may live at Lynn, or Doylestown, or Poughkeepsie, will find out that you have defrauded him, and next spring when he again comes shopping, he will look at your sign and say: “I will not try there. That is the place where I got that handkerchief.” So that by that one dishonest bargain you picked your own pocket and insulted the Almighty. #Would you dare to make an estimate of how many falsehoods in trade were yesterday told by hardware men, ami. clothiers, and fruit-dealers, and drj^ goods establishments, and importers, and jewelers, and lumbermen, and coal merchants, and stationers, and tobacconists? Lies about saddles, about buckels, about ribbons, about carperts, about gloves, about coats, about shoes, about hats, about watches, about carriages, about books—about everything. In the name of the Lord Almighty, I arraign commercial falsehoods as one of the greatest plagues in city and town. In the next place, I notice mechanical lies. There is no class of men who administer more to the welfare of the city than artisans. To their hand we must look for the building that shelters us, for the garments that clothe us, for the car that carries us. They wield a widespread influence. There is much derision of what is called “muscular Christianity;” but in the latter day of the world’s prosperity I think that the Christian will be muscular. We have a right to expect of those stalwart men of toil the highest possible integrity. Many of them answer all our expectations and stand at the front of religious and philanthropic enterprises. But this class, like the others that I have named, has in it those who lack in the element of veracity, They Cali not all be trusted. In times which the demand fpr labor is great, it is impossible to meet the demands of the public, or do work with that promptness and perfection that would at other times be possible. But there are mechanics whose word can not be trusted at any time. No man has

tell you shall be completed in ten days, bnt it is thirty. There have been houses built, of which it might be said -that every nail driven, every foot of plastering put on, every yard of pipe laid, every shingle hammered, every brick mortared, could tell of falsehood connected therewith. There are men attempting to do ten or fifteen pieces of work who have not the time or strength to do more than five or six nieces, but by promises never fulfilled keep all the undertakings within their own grasp. ! This is what they call “nursing” the 1 job. •» ' .. How much wrong to his soul and insult to God a mechanic would save if he promised only so much as he expected to be able to do. Society has no right ^o ask of you impossibilities. You can not always calculate correctly, and you may fail because you can not get the help that you anticipate. But now I am speaking of the willful making ol promises that you know that you can not keep. Did you say that that shoe ' should be mended, that coat repaired, those bricks laid, that hhimess sewed, that door grained, that spout fixed, or that window glazed by Saturday, knowing that you would neither be able to do it yourself nor get any one else to do it? Then, before God and man you are a liar. You may say that it makes no particular difference, and that if you had told the truth you would have lost the job, and that people expect to be disappointed. But that excuse will not answer. There is a voice of thunder rolling among the drill, and planes, and shoe-lasts, and shears, which says: “All liars, shall have their part in the lake that burneth with fire and brimstone.” 1 next notice ecclesiastidal lies; that is, falsehoods told for the purpose of advancing ehnrches and sects, or for the purpose of depleting them. There is no use in asking many a Calvinist what an Arminian believes, for he will be apt to tell you that the Arminian believes that a man can convert himself; or to ask the Arminian What the Calvinist believes, for he will tell you that the Calvinist believes that God made some men just to damn them. There is no need of asking a pwdo-Baptist what a Baptist believes, for he will be apt to say that the Baptist believes that immersion to be positively necessary for salvation. It is almost impossible for one denomination of Christians, without prejadied or misrepresentation, to state the sentiment of an imposing sect. If a man hates Presbyterians, and you ask him what Presbyterians believe, he will tell you that they believe that there

U1V 1111 UU lO 1U UV1I U IVl.lj,. It is strange, also, how individual churches will sometimes make misstatements about individual churches. It is especially so in regal'd to falsehoods told with reference to prosperous enterprises. As long as a church is feeble, and the singing is discordant, and the minister, through the poverty of the church, must go with a threadbare coat, and here and there a worshiper sits in the end of a pew, having all the seat to himself, religious sympathizers of other churches will say: “What a pity!” But, let a great day of prosperity come and even ministers of the Gospel, who ought to be rejoiced at the largeness and extent of the work, denounce, and misrepresent, and falsify, starting the suspicion in regard to themselves that the reason they do not like the corn is because ij is not ground in theii. own mill. How long before we shall learn to be fair in our religious criticisms? The keenest jealousies on earth are church jealousies. The field of Christian work is so large that there is no need that our hpe handles hit. Next I speak of social lies. This evil makes much of society insincere. You know not what to believe. When people ask you to come you do not know whether or not they want you to come. When they send their regards you do not know whether it is an expression of their heart or an external civility. We have learned to take almost everything at a discount. Word is sent,“Not at home,” when they are only too lazy to dress themselves. They say: “Tie furnace has just gone out,” when in truth they have had no fire in it all winter. They apologize for the nnusual barrenness of their table when they never live any better. They decry their most luxurious entertainments to win a shower of approval. They apologize

Wi tUvii OB lUUUgll 111 nnc unusual, when always at home they look just so. They would make you believe th it some nice sketch on the wall was the work of a master painter. “It was an heirloom, and once hung on the walls of a castle, and a duke gave it to their grandmother.”. When the fact is that painting was made by a man “down east,” and baked so as to make it look old, and sold with others for ten dollars-a dozen. People who will lie about nothing else will lie about a picture. On a small income we must make the world believe that we are affluent, and our life becomes a cheat, a counterfeit, and a sham. Few persons are really natural When 1 say this I do not mean to slur cultured manners. It is right that we should have more admiration for the sculptured marble than for the unknow n block of the quarry. From many circles in life insincerity has driven out vivaiity and enthusiasm. A frozen dignity instead floats about the room and iceberg grinds again^ iceberg. Yon must not laugh outright; it is vulgar. You must smile. You must not dash rapidly across the room; you must glide- There is a round of bows, and grins, and flatteries, and oh’s! and ah’s! and simpering, and nambypambyism—a world of which is not worth one good, round, honest peal of laughter. From such a hollow round the tortured guest retires lay the close of the evening, and assures ms host he has enjoyed himself! But to many through insincerity this life is a masquerade ball. As, at such entertainments, gentlemen and ladies appear in the dress of kings and queens, mountain bandits or clowns, and at the close of the dance throw off their disguises. so, in this dissipated life, all unclean passions move in mask. Across the floor they trip merrily. The lights sparkle along the wall or drop from thq*& ceiling—a cohort of fire. The music charms The diadiamonds glitter. The feet bound. Gemmed hands stretched out, clasped gemmed hands Dancing feet respond to dancing feet. Gleaming brow bends to gleaming brow. On with the dance! Flash and rustle and laughter, and immeasurable merrymaking! But the languor of death comes over the limbs, and blurs the sight. Lights lower! Floor hollow with sepulchral echo. Music saddens into a wail. Lights lower! The maskers can hardly now be seen. Flowers exchange their fragrance for a sickening odor, such as comes from garlands that have lain in vaults of cemeteries Lights lower! Mists fill the room. Glasses rattle as though shaken by sullen thunder. Sighs seem caught among the curtains. Scarf falls from the shoulder of beauty—a shroud! Lights lower! Over the slippery boards, in dance of death, glide jealousies, disappointments, lust, despair. Torn leaves and withered garlands only half hide the ulcered feet. The Stench of smoking lamp-wicks almost quenched. Choking damps. Chilliness. Feet still. Hands folded. Eyes shut. Voices hushed.

A cough or cqW is a spy which has stealthily come inside the lines of health . and is there to discover some vulnerable point in the fortification of the constitution which is guarding your well-being. That point discovered the spy reports it to the enemy on the outside. The enemy is,the changeable winter climate. If the cold gets in, look out for an attack at the weak point. To avoid this, shoot the spy, kill the cold, using SCOTT’S EMULSION of pure Norwegian Cod Liver Oil and Hypophosphites of Lime and Soda as the weapon. It is an expert cold slayer, and fortifies the system against Consumption, Scrofula, General Debility, and all Ancemic and Wasting Diseases {specially in Children). Especially helpful for children to prevent their taking cold. Palatable as Milk. SPECIAL.—Scott's Emulsion iae non-secret, and is prescribed by the Medical Profession all over the world, because its ingredients are scientifically combined in such a' manner as to greatly increase their remedial value. CAUTION.—Scott’s Emulsion is put up in salmon-colored wrappers. Be sure and get the genuine. Prepared only by Scott & Bowne.
