THE NATION’S POOR. Rev. T. Do1 Witt Talmag'e Discourses on Poverty. There Are M*ny Cause* Contipirinr to Keep Men Poor, and They Are National as Well as Individual to a Large Extent. The following' timely discourse was delivered by Rev. T. DeWitt Talmagfe in the Brooklyn tabernacle, being based on the te: P Ye have the| poor always with you.—Matthew, xxvi., 11. Who said that?) The Christ, who never owned awjrthing during His earthly star. His Vadle and His grave were borrowed. Every fig He ate was ■from some oneelse’s tree. Every drop of water Hjj drank was from £ome one else’s welL To pay His personal tax, which was very small, only thirty-one and one-quiarter cents. He had to perform a mirjicle and make a fish pay it. All the heights and depths and lengths and breadtihs of poverty Christ measured in Iljis earthly experience, and when He comes to speak of destitution He always speaks sympathetically, and what lie said then is as true now: ■“Ye have tjhe poor always with you.” For six thousand years the bread question lijis been the active and absorbing question. Witness the people crowding up to Joseph's store-house in Egypt. ; Witness the famine in Samaria

iuu uciuseicm. tunica tuc acvcu thousand hungry people for whom Christ multiplied the loaves. Witness the uncounted millions of people now living,' who, I believe, have never yet had one fill' meal of healthful and Uutritious food in all their lives. Think of the thjree hundred and fifty-four great famines in England. Think of the twenty-five million people under the hoof of hunger year before last in Russia. “ The failure of the Nile to overflow for the seven years in the eleventh century lefft those regions depopulated. Plague of imsects in England. Plague of rats in Madras Presidency. Plague of mice in Essex. Plague of locusts in Chiba. Plague of grasshoppers in America. Devastation wrought by draught, by deluge, by frost; by war, by hurricane, by earthquake, by comets flying too near the! earth, by change in the management <j>f national finances, baleful causes innumerable. I proceed to g'ive you thrpe or .four reasons why my text is markedly and graphically true in this year 1804. The first reason we have jilways the poor withj us is because of (he perpefc uni overhauling of the tariff questio or, as I shall 'call it, the tariffic conM troversy. There is a need | for such a word, and so T take the re ponsibility of manufacturing it. Theye are millions of people who are expecting that the present congress of the United {States will do something one way or the other to end this discussion. But it will never end. When II was five years of age I remember hearing my father and his neighbors in vehement discussion of this very question. It was high (ariff or low tariff, or no tariff at all. When your grandchild dies at ninety years of age it will probably be from overexertion in discussing the tariff. On the day the world is destroyed there will be three men standing on the post office steps—one a high tariff man, another a. low tariff man and (.he third a free trade man— each one ted in the face from excited argument on this subject. Other questions may get settled, the Mormon question, the silver question, the pension question, the civil-service question. All questions of annexation may come to peaceful settlement by the annexation of islands two weeks’ voyage away and the 'heat of their volcanoes conveyed,, through pipes under the sea, made useful in warming our continent, or annexation of the moon, dethroning the Queen of Night, w(io is said to be dissolute, and bringing the populations under the innenee of our free institutions; yea, all other institutions, national and international. mqy be settled. But this tariffic question, never. It. will not only never be settled, but it. can never be modei*ately quiet fo$ more than iirs at a time- each party get- ■ power taking one of the four three yea ting into will fix il years to fix it up, and the next party down. Our finances can not get well because of too many doctors. It is with sick nations as with sick individuals. Here is a man terribly disordered as to his body. A doctor is called in and he administers a febrifuge, a spoonful every hour. But recovery is postponed, and the anxious friends eall in another ■doctor, and he says: “What this patient needs is blood-letting”; now roll np your sleeve!” and the lancet flashes. Bat still recovery is postponed, and a homeopathic doctor is called in, and he

auunuiJW^ra auuic suiau ouu says: “AH the patient wants,is rest.” Recovery still postponed, the family says that, small pellets can not amount to much anyhow, and an allopathic doctor is ealled in, and he say: “What ^his patient wants is calomel and tilap." Recovery still postponed, a ydropai hie doctor is called in, and he says: “What this patients wants is Rot and tiold baths, and he must have ihem right away. Turn on the faucet and get ready the shower baths.” Recovery still postponed, an electric doctor is cabled in, and he brings all the schools to bear upon the poor suffeyer, and the patient, after a brave struggle for life, expires. \Vhat killed him? Too many doctors. And that is what :is killing our national finances. My peasonal friends, Cleveland and Harris sod and Carlyle and McKinley ami Sherman, as talented and lovely and -splendid men as walk the earth, all •ffood doctors, but their treatment of our languishing finances is so different that neither treatment has a full opportunity, and under the ,constant changes it is simply (wonderful that the nation still •lives. The tariff question will I never be settled because of the fact, .which I have never heard anyone recjognize but, nevertheless, the fact, that is best for i»ome people and

free trade is best for others. This tariffic controversy keeps business struck: though with uncertainty, and that un •certainty results in poverty and wretchedness for a vast multitude of people. If the eternal gab on this subject could, hare been fashioned into loaves of bread there would not be a hungry man or woman or child on all the planet. To the end of time the words of the text will be be kept true by the tariffic controversy: “Ye have the poor always with yon.” Another cause of perpetual poverty is the cause alcoholic. The victim does not last long. He soon crouches into the drunkard’s grave. But what J about his wife and children? She takes in washihg when she can get it,. or goes out working on small wages,4 because sorrow and privation have left her incapacitated to do a strong woman’s work. The children are thjnblooded, and gaunt, and pale, and. weak, standing around in cold rooms, I or pitching pennies on -the street cal'- 1 ners, and munching a slice of unbut- j tered bread when they can get it, sworn at by passers-by because they J do not get out of the way, kicked on- j ward toward manhood or womanhood, j for which they have no preparation, except a depraved appetite and frail constitution, candidates for alms house and penitentiary. Whatever other causes of poverty may fail, the saloon may be depended on to furnish an ever-increasing throng of paupers. Oh, ye grog shops of Brooklyn and

new iui n, uuu Ui uu uic vinca. mouths of hell, when will ye cease i<o craunch and devour? There is no danger of this liquor business failing'. All other styles of business at times fail. Dry goods stores go under. Hardware stores go under. Grocery stores go under. Harnessmakers fail, druggists fail, bankers fail, butchers fail, bakers fail, confectioners fail, but the liquor dealers never. It is the only secure business I know of. Why the permanence of the alcoholic trade? Because in the first place the men in that business, if tight up for money! only have to put into large quantities of water more strychnine and logwood and nux vomica and vitriol and other congenial concomitants for adulteration. One quart of the real genuine pandemoniac elixir will do to mix up witji several gallons of milder damnation- * Beside that, these dealers can depend on an increa se of demand on the part of their customers. The more of that stuff they drink, the thirstier they are. Hard times, which stop other business, only increase that business, for men go there to drown their troubles, ^hey take the spirits down to keep their spirits up. There is an inclined plane down which alcoholism slides its victims. Claret, Champagne, port, cognac, whisky, Tom and Jerry, sour mash, on and down until it is a sort of mixture of kerosne oil, turpentine, toadstools, swill, essence of the horse blankets and general nastiness. With its sword of fiame, that liquor power marshals its procession and they move on in ranks long enough to girdle the earth, and the procession is headed by the nose-blotche<l, nerve-shattered, rheum-eyed, lip-bloated, soul-scorched inebriates, followed by the women, who, though brought up in comfortable homes, now go limping past witn'aches and pains and pallor and hunger and woe, followed by their children, barefoot, uncombed, freezing, and with a wretchedness of time and eternity seemingly compressed into their agonized features. “Forward march!” cries the liquor business to that army without banners. ' j Keep that influence moving on and you will have the poor always with you. . Report comes from one of the cities, Where the majority of the inhabitants are out of work and dependant on charity, yet last year they spent more in that city for rum than they did for clothing and groceries. ^ Another warranty that my text vrill prove true in the perpetual poverty of the world is the wicked spirit of improvidence. A vast number of. people have sitch small income that they can not lay by in savings bank or life insurance one cent a year. It takes every farthing they can earn to spread the table and clothe the family and educate the children, and if you blame such people for, improvidence, you enact a cruelty. On such a salary as many clerks and employes and many ministers of religion live, and on. such wages as many workmen receive, they can not, in twenty years, lay up twenty cents. But you know and I know many who liafve competent income and could provide somewhat for the future, who live up every dollar, and when they die,their children go to the poor house or on the street. By the time the wife gets the husband buried, she is in debt to the undertaker and grave-digger for that which she can never pay. While the man

uvea ue u iu uia wine parties «tuu. lauiv stunk with tobacco, and then expired, leaving his family upon the charities of the world. • Do not send for mo to come and conduct the obsequies and read over such a carcass the beautiful liturgy: “Blessed are the dead who di$ in the Lord,” for, instead of that, twill turn over the leaves of the Bible to First Timothy, v, 18, where it says: “If any provide not for his own, and especially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than a.n infidel,” or I will turn to Jeremiah, xxii, 19, where it says: “He shall be buried w ith the burial of an ass, drawn and cast forth beyond the gates of Jerusalem.” I can not imagine any more unfair or meaner thing than for a man to get his sins pardoned at I the last minute, and then go to Heaven j and live in a mansion, and go riding j about in a golden chariot over the i golden streets, while his wife and chil- j dren, whom he might have provided j for, are begging fer cold victuals at the ba sement door of an earthly city. * It seems to me there ought to be a j poor house somewhere on the outskirts : of Heaven where those guilty of such j improvidence should be keptfor awhile j on: thin soup and bristle, instead of ait- j ting down at the King's banquet. It j is said that the church is a Divine in- ; stitution. and I believe it. Just as cer- i

tainl; are the saving* banks aid the life-i: iurance companies Divine institution. As out of evil (rood often come so out of the doctrine of probabilities calculated by Prof. Hugens and f*ro£ Pascal fcr games of chance, came the calculation of the 'probabilities of human life as tied by life-insurance companies and no business on earth is more stable, or honorable, and no mightier mercy for the human race has been born since Christ was born. Borec beyond endurance for my signature to papers of all sorts, there is one style of paper that I always sign with a feel tig of gladness and triumph, and that is a paper which the life insurance fcompniy requires from the clergyman "after i, decease in his congregation, in order to the payment of the policy to the be reft household. I always write my name then so they can read it I can not help but say to myself: “Gooc for that man to have looked after his wife and children after earthly departure. May ‘he have one of the best seats in Heaven!" Younjr man! The day before or the day after you get married, go to a life insurance company of established reputation and get the medical examiner to pu; the stethoscope to your lungs and his ear close up to your heart, with your vest off,~and have signed, sealed and delivered to jrou a document that will, in the case of your sudden departure make for that lovely girl the

difference between a queen and a paupe I have known men who have had an incone of three thousand dollars, four thousand dollars, five thousand dollars a year who aid not leave one farthing to t he surviving household. Now that man's death is a defalcation, an outrage, a swindle. He did not die; he absconded. There are a hundred thousand people in America to-day a-hungered through the sin of improvidence. “But,” says some, “my income is so small I cap not afford to pay the premium on a life insurance.” Are you sure about that? If yon are sure, then you have a right to depend on the promise, in Jeremiah, xlix, 11: “Leave thy fatherless children. I will preserve them alive, and let thy widow trust in me.” But if you are able to, remem ber you have no right to ask God to do for your household that which you can do for them yourself. For tlie benefit of those young men, excuse a practical personality. Another fact that you may depend upon for perpetual poverty is the incapacity of many to achieve a livelihood. You can go through any community and find good people with more than usual mental caliber, who never have been able to support themselves and their households. They are a mystery to us, and we say: “I do not know what is the matter of them, but there? is a screw loose somewhere.” Some of these persons have more brain than thousands who make a splendid success. Some are too sanguine {of temperament, and they see bargains where therejare none. A common minnow is to them a goldfish,and a quail a flamingo, and a blind mule on a tow-path a Bucephalus. They buy when . things are highest and sell when things are lowest. Someone tells them of city lots out west, where the foundation of the first house has not yet been laid. They say: “What ail opportunity!” and they put down the hard cash for an ornamented deed for ten lots under water. They hear of a new silver mine opened in Nevada, and they say: “What a chance!” and they take the little money they have in the savings bank and pay it out for as beautiful a certificate of mining stock as was ever printed, and the only thing they will ever get out of the investmeiit is the aforesaid illuminated lithograph. They are always on the verge of millionairedom, and are sometimes worried as to whom they shall bequeath their excess of for /are. They invest in aerial machines or new inventions in perpetual motion, and they succeed in what mathematicians think impossible, the squai ng of a circle, for they do everything on the square and win the whole circieof disappointment. They are good, honest, brilliant, failures. They die pool*, and leave nothing to their famil ieh but a model of some invention "tilat would mot work, and whole portfolios of diagrams of things impossible I can not help but like them, becaase they are so cheerful with great expectations. But their children ar e a bequest to the bureau of city charities. In vario us colors of ink other lifeinsurance policies are written. This one I have ust shown you is written in only one kind of ink, and that red ink—the blood of the cross. Blessed be God, this ,is a “paid-up policy,” paid for b the pangs of the Son of God, and all we add to it in the way of our ow n good deeds will aug

menu uie bun oi cwriuu ieiiciue& Yes, the tim 3 wifi come when the banks of largest capital stock will all down, and the fire Insurance companies will all go dowi and the life-insurance companies will all go down. In the last great earthquake all the cities will be prostrated, and as a consequence all banks will forevfcr suspend payment In the last conflagration the fire-insurance companies of the eartli will fail, for how could they mal ce appraisement of the loss on a universal fire? . Then all the inhabitants of she round world will surrender their mortal existence, and** how could life insurance companies pay for dept r ulated hemispheres? But our Celest J life insurance will not be harmet by that continental wreck, or the 1 hemispheric accident, or that p anetary catastrophe. Blow it out like „ cAndle—the noonday sun! Tear it ciowr. like worn-out upholstery—the . last sunset! Toss it from God’s finge like a dewdrop from the anther of a water lily—the ocean. Scatter them like thistledown before a ichocl-boy’s breath —the worlds! They will not disturb the omnipot e nee or the composure or the sympathy or the love of that Christ who said it once on earth, and will say it again in Heaven to all those who have been helpful to the downtrodden and the ; :ld and the hungry and the houseles: and the lost: “Inasmuch as ye did it to them, ye did to me.

THE WAYS OF AUTHORS. Montesquieu was so much affected by the criticisms of his works that the annoyance hastened his death. Churchill hated to correct his own poems. He said that the erasure of a line was like cuttihg away one’s own flesh. Etienne Jodelle was the father of the French theater. His first play was “Cleopatra,” presented on the stage in 1552. VirgIl devoted eleven years to his yEneid and then deemed it so imperfect at his death he ordered it tyo be burned. Tee Emperor Hadrian, when $ying, composed that beautiful address to his soul, which Pope translated into English. Corneille died in the most bitter poverty, unrelieved by many whom during his diys of prosperity he had benefited. _l_ CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR NOTES. England has over 800 Christian Endeavor societies.

There are now 28,360 societies of Christian Endeavor in the world. Nearly 2,000 new societies have been reported since the Montreal international convention, A floating Society of Christian Endeavor was formed in a Japanese man-of-war that anchored near Tokyo. The ship sailed away with thirteen members, and returned six months later with a membership of’thirty. A MUSICAL MELANGE.

—An interesting discussion has sprung up among the palmists in regard to the line olr the hand known us the marriage line. One recognized authority says that when this line curves upward the possessor is not likely to marry at all. Other experts reply that ■ they know many married and happy people with such a line. It is also alleged that the transverse line on the “bill of Mercury,” which one party says is the marriage line, is not so considered by the Chirological ‘society. “Our opinion,” says the editor of the party organ, “is that these lines are signs of attachment, and there is scarcely a hand ever seen without at least one in the hand of either married or unmarried people.’ —Does anyone know that we have no such thing as a “national holiday” in America? Not even the Fourth of July p.n claim that title, although it is a legal holiday in all the states. The president issues a proclamation calling upon the people to keep Thanksgiving day, but he can not make it a legal holiday outside the territories. A special proclamation must be issued by the governor of each state, else, the banks could not close, although business might be suspended by general consent. —That neglected marvel, the museum of natural history in New York, contains among other things some remarkable specimens of taxidermy.
