TALMAGE’S SERMON. Warning to the Overworked and Worried Business Man. The Trlala of Limited Capital—Dangers of the Wad Bush for Wealth—Tha Neglect or Boom and Family. .a

Iter. T. DeWitt Talmage, who it still sojourning in the west, selected the following' sermon for publication this week. The subject is: “Business Troubles,” being based on the text: These were thy merchants in all sorts of things.— Ezekiel xxvlL, 54. We are at the opening door of returning national prosperity. The coming crops, the re-establishment of public confidence, and, above all, the blessing of God, will turn in upon all sections of America the widest, greatest prosperity this country has ever seen. But that door of successes is not yet fully open, and thousands of business men are yet suffering from the distressing times through which we have been passing. Some of the best men in the land have faltered; men whose hearts are enlisted in every good work, and whose hands have blessed every great charity. The church of God can afford to extend to them her sympathies, and plead before Heaven with all-availing prayer. The schools such men have established, the churches they have built, the txsylums and beneficent institutions tliey have fostered will be their eulogy long after their banking institutions are forgotten. Such men can never fail. They have their treasures in hanks that never break, and will be millionaires forever. But I thought • It would be appropriate, to-day, and useful, for me to talk about the trials and temptations of our business men, and try to offer some curative prescriptions, In the first place, I have to remark that a great many of our business men feel ruinous trials and temptations coming to them from small and limitcapital in business. It is everywhere understood that it takes now three or four times as much to do business well as once it did. Once, a few hundred dollars were turned into goods—the merchant would be his own store-sweeper, his own salesman, his own bookkeeper; he would manage all the affairs himself, and everything would be net profit. Wonderful changes have come; costly apparatus, extensive advertising, exorbitant store rents, heavy taxation, expensive agencies are only parts of the demand made upon our commercial men; and when they have found themselves in such circumstances with small capital, they have sometimes been tempted to run against the rocks of moral and financial destruction. This temptation of limited capital has ruined men in two ways. Sometimes they have shrunk down under the temptation. They have yielded the battle before the first shot was fired. At the first hard dun they surrendered. Their knees knocked together at the fall of the auctioneer’^ hammer. They blanched at the fiaanK cial peril. They did not understand that there is such a thing as heroism in merchandise, and that there wte Waterloos of the counter, and tlial ^ man can fight no braver battwi with the sword than he can with the yard-stick. Their souls melted iu them because sugars were up when they wanted to buy, and down when they wanted to sell, and unsalable goods were on the shelf, and bad debts iu their ledger. The gloom of their countenances overshadowed even their dry goods and groceries. Despondency, coming from limited capital, blasted them. Others have felt it in a different way. They liave said: “Here I have been trudging along. I have been trying to be lioncst all these years, I find it is no use, Now it is make or break.” The tsmall craft that could have stood the .-stream, is put out beyond the lighthouse, on the great sea of speculation., He borrows a few thousand dollars from friends who dare not refuse him, and he goes bartering on a large scale. He reasons in this wav: “Perhaps 1 may succeed, and if I don’t I will be no worse off than I am now, for one hundred thousand taken from nothing, nothing remains.” Stocks are the dice with which he gambles. He bought for a few dollars vast tracts of western land. Some roan at the east, living on .a fat homestead, meets this gambler -of fortune, and is persuaded to trade -off his estate for lots in a western city with largfe avenues, and costly palaces, and lake steamboats smoking at the wharves, and rail-trains coming down

with lightning speed from every direction. There it is all on paper! The city has never been built, nor the railroads' constructed, but everything points that way, and the thing will be done as sure as ypu live. Well, the man goes on, stopping at no fraud or outrage. In his splendid equipage he dashes past, while the honest laborer looks up, and wipes the sweat from his brow, and says: “I wonder where that man got all his money.” After awhile the bubble bursts. Creditors rush in. The law clutches, but finds nothing in jits grasp. The men who were swindledway: “I -don’t know how I could have ever been -deceived by that man;” and the pictorials, in handsome wood cuts, set forth the hero who in ten years had genius enough to fail for one hundred and i Htty thousand dollars! And that is the process by which many have been tempted through limitation of capital to rush into labyrinths from which they could not be extracted. I would not want to block :«p any of the avenues for honest accumulation that open before young ;men. On the contrary. I would like to ■cheer them on, and rejoice when they ;reaeh the goal; but when there are ■such multitudes of men going to rain [for tills life and the life that is to [come, through wrong notions of what are lawful spheres of enterprise, it is jthe duty of the church of God, and the

ministers of religion, and the friends of all young men, to utter a plain, emphatic, unmistakable protest. These are the influences that drown men in destruction and perdition. Again, a great many of our business men are tempted to overanxiety and care. You know that .nearly all commercial businesses are overdone in this day. Smitten with the love of quick gain, oar cities are crowded with men resolved to be rich at all hazards. They do not care how money comes, if it only comes. Our best merchants

are thrown into competition with men of more means and less conscience, and if an opportunity of accumulation be neglected one hour, some one else picks it up. From January to December the struggle goes on. Night gives no quiet to limbs tossing in restlessness, nor to a brain that will not stop thinking. The dreams are harrowed by imaginary loss, and flushed with imaginary gains. Even the Sabbath can not dam back the tide of anxiety, for this wave of worldliness dashes clear over the churches, and leaves its foam on Bibles and prayer books.. Men who are living on salaries^ or by the cultivation of the soil can not understand the wear and tear Of the body and mind to which our merchants are subjected, when they do not know but that their livelihood and their business honor are dependent upon the uncertainties of the next hour. This excitement of the brain, this corroding care of the heart, this strain of effort that exhausts the spirit,'‘sends a great many of our best men, in middle life, into the grave. Their 'life dashed out against money safes. They go with their store on their backs. They trudge like camels, sweating, from Aleppo to Damascus. They make their life a crucifixion. Standing behind desks and counters, banished from the fresh air, weighed down by carking cares, they are so many suicides. Oh! I wish I could, to-day, rub out some of these lines of care; that I could lift some of the burdens from the heart; that I could give relaxation to some of these worn muscles. It is time for you to \>egin to take it a little easier. Do your best, and then trust God for the rest. Do not fret. God manages all the affairs of yohr life, and he manages them for the best. Consider the lilies —they always have robe^. Behold the fowis of the air—they always have nests. Take a long breath. Bethiuk, betimes, that God did not make you for a pack-horse. Dig yourselves out from among the hogsheads and the shelves, and in the light of the holy Sabbath day resolve that j'ou will give to the winds your fears, and your fretfulness, and your distresses. You brought nothing into the world, aud it is very certain ypu can carry nothing out. Having food and raiment, be therewith content. The merchant came home from the store. There had been a great disaster there. He opened the front door and said, in the midst of his family circle: *‘I am ruined. Everything is gone. I am all ruined.” His wife said: “I am left;” and the little child threw up its hands ahd said: “Papa, I am here.” The _aged grandmother, seated in the room, s*id: “Than you have all the promises •ofilod besides, John.” And he burst la to tears, and said: “God forgive me, ta|*t I have been so ungrateful. I find JHiave a great many things left. God rforgive me.” Again I remark that many of our business men are tempted to neglect their home duties. How often it is that the store and the home seem to clash; but there ought to be no collision. | It is often that the father is the mere treasurer of the family, a sort of agent to see that they have dry goods and groceries. The work of family government he does not touch. Once or twice a year he calls the children up on a Sabbath afternoon, when he has a half hour he does not exactly know what to do with, and in that half hour he disciplines the children and chides, them and corrects their faults, and gives them a great deal of good advice, and then wonders all the rest of the year that his children do not do better, when they have the wonderful advantage of that semi-annual castiga

tion. The family table, which ought to be the place for pleasant discussion and cheerfulness, often becomes the place of perilous expedition. If there be any blessing asked at all, it is cut off at both ends, and with the hand on the carving-knife. He counts on his fingers, making estimates in the interstices .of the repast. The work done, the hat goes to the head, and he starts down the street, and before the family have arisen from the table he has bound up Another bundle of goods, and says to the customer. “‘Anything more I can do for yd&jf to-day, sir?” A man has more responsibilities than those which are' | discharged by putting competent inI structors over his children, and giving them a drawing master , and a music • teacher. The physical culture of the child will not be attended to unless the father looks to it. He must some* times lose his dignity. He must unlimber his joints. He must lead them out to their sports and games. The parent who can not forget the severe duties of life sometimes, to fly the kite, and trundle the hoop, and chase the ball and jump the rope with his children, ought never to have been tempted out of a crusty aud unredeemable solitariness. If you want to keep your children away from places of sin you can only do it by making your home attractive. You may preach sermons, and advocate reforms, and denounce wickedness, and yet your children will be captivated by the glittering saloon of sin unless you can make your home a brighter place than any other place on earth to them. Oh! gather all charms into your house. If you can afford it, bring books, and pictures, and cheerful entertainments to the household. But, above all, teach those children, not by half an hour twice a year on the Sabbath day, but day after day; and every day tench them that religion is a great gladness; that it throws chains of gold

about the neck; that It takes no soring from the foot, no blytheness from tbe heart, no sparkle from the eye, no ring from the laughter; but that “her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace.” I sympathise with the work being done in many of our cities, by which beautiful rooms are set apart by our Young Men’s Christian associations, and I pray God to prosper them in all things. But I tell you there is something back of that and before that. We need.more happy, consecrated, cheerful, Christian homes'erery where.

Again i remark, tttat a great many of our business men are tempted to put the attainment of money above value of the soul. It is a grand thing to have plenty of money. The more you get of it, the better, if it come honestly and go usefully. For the lack of it, sickness dies without medicine, and hunger finds its coffin in the empty bread tray, and nakedness shivers for lack of clothes and fire. When I hear a man in canting tirade against money—a Christian man—as though it had no possible use on earth, and had no interest in it at all, I come almost to think 4bst the Heaven that would be appropriate for him would be an everlasting poorhouse. While my friends, we do admit there is such a thing as the lawful use of money—a profitable use of money—let us recognize also the fact that money can not satisfy a man’s soul, that it can not pay our fare across tire Jordan of death, that it can pot unlock the gate of Heaven. There are men in all occupations who s&m to act as though they thought that a pack of bonds and mortgages could be traded off for a title to Heaven, and as though gold would be a lawful tender in that place where it is so1 common that they make pavements of it. Salvation by Christ is the only salvation. Treasures in Heaven are the only incorruptible treasures. . , Have you ever ciphered out in the rule of loss and gain the sum: “What shall it profit a man if he gain the whole world and lose his own soul?” However line your apparel, the winds of death will flatter it like rags. Homespun and a threadbare coat have ' sometimes been the shadow of coming | robes made white in the blood of the Lamb. The pearl of great price is worth more than any gem you can bring from the ocean, than Australian or Brazilian mines strung in one carcanet. Seek after God; find' His righteousness, and all shall be well here; all shall be well hereafter. &ome of you remember, the shipwreck of the Central America. That noble steamer had, i think, about five hundred passengers aboard. ‘Suddenly the storm came, and the surges trampled the decks and swung into the hatches, and there went up a hundred-voiced death shrieks. The foaip on the jaw of the wave. The pitching of the steamer as though it were leaping a mountain. The dismal flare of the signal rockets. The I long cough of the steam pipes. The hiss of extinguished furnaces. ' The walking of God on the wave! The steamer went not down without a s\ruggle. As the passengers statationed themselves in rows to bale out the vessel, .hark to the thump of the buckets, as the men unused to toil, with blistered hands and strained muscles, tug for their lives. There is ft sail seen against the sky. The flash of the distress gun is noticed, its voice heard not, for it is choked in the louder booming of the sen. A few passengers escaped; but the steamer gave one great lurch and was gone! So there are some men who sail on prosperously in life. All’s well; all’s well. But at last some financial disaster comes; a euroclydon. Down they go! the bottom of the commercial sea is strewn with shattered hulks. But because your property goes do not let your soul go. Though all else perish, save that; for 1 have to tell you of a more stupendous shipwreck than that which I just mentioned. God launched the world six thousand years ago. It has been going on under freight of mountains and immortals; but one day it will stagger at the-ery of fire. The timbers of roek will burn, tire mountains flame like masts, and the clouds like sails in the judgment hurricane. Then God shall take the passengers off the deck, and from the berths those who have long been asleep in Jesus, and He will set them far beyond the reach of storm and peril. But how many shall go down will never be known, until it shalf be announced one day in Heaven; j the shipwreck of a world! So many millions saved! So many millions drowned! Oh! my dear hearers, whatever yon lose, though your houses go, thotffch your lands go, though all your earthly possessions perish, may God Almighty, through the blood of the everlasting covenant, save all your souls.

Hoiiey-Bee Industry. ' We often speak of the wonderful and admirable industry of the honey-bee without thinking1 of the amount of labor which that industry really represents. Careful experiments have shown that a red clover blossom contains on an average less than oneeighth of a grain of sugar. There being seven thousand grains in a pound the bee that makes a pound of honey must obtain its material from no less than fifty-six thousand clover-heads. But this is not the whole story. In order to get the neetar the bee is competed to insert its proboscis separately into each floret or flower-tube, composing the head of cloveT, and there are about sixty florets in every head. The insect must therefore, perform this operation sixty times fifty-six thousand, or three million three hundred and sixty thousand times, in order tc obtain a pound of nectarl—Youth’/ Companion. —Mr. Guiness has described a missionary as “God’s man, in God’s place, doing God’s work, in God’s way, and for God’s glory.” The Louisville Western Recorder asks: “But why is this not applicable to every Christian?”

THE BRISTOL HORROR. Tb* Stricken Town Converted Into n Hospital Where Every CttifM U « Mnreo— The Cnlnjnred Am one the CIUmm VI*. Ins with Kneh Other In Their Mlnletrn^ tlone to the Vic time of the Bridge Die* neter. BI8TOI., Ind., July 5.—Whole fam * Uies in this hamlet and the surrounding territory have been stricken down by yesterday’s fearful bridge disaster and there is hardly a household that has not one or more maimed and suffering lying in a darkened room. Today there has not been nearly enough doctors in Bristol to care for the wounded, though they have come from all the surrounding towns. The fortunate ones whom luck or the pressure of farm work kept away from the Fourth of July celebration and the bridge have volunteered as nurses, and of the COO men, women and children of Bristol there is not an ; uninjured one who is not tending the sick, running for the doctor or doing some other errand of mercy. Some of those who received less serious injuries have bound up their wounds and are heVping nurse those more seriously stricken. The old village doctor, Charles Dutrow, can no longer minister to the people he has served so long and faithfully. His spine and ankles are cruelly injured, and pain has made him delirious. The venerable Mrs. Little, who had her legs and arms broken apd her spine injured, is sinking slowly and cannot live. There are also others who will probably die. But Bristol is not alone bearing the burden of a heavy grief. She was hostess for a dozen towns yesterday, and her guests came from Elkhart,Middletown,Three Rivers, Porters, Sailor, Jefferson, Washington, Union and other towns of Indiana and southern Michigan. Many of them were last night carried away in farm wagons suffering from their wounds, and others are being cared for here, being too ill to be moved. The list of injured includes seventy men, women and children. The injured living in Bristol numbered forty-seven, and the remainder are those from the surrounding towns mentioned.

RELIABLE GRAIN REPORTS; Con p led from Replies from Nearly Five Thousand Grain Dealers. Toledo, 0., July 6.—During1 the past five days C. A. King & Co. have received replies from 4.409 reliable gr&in deal* ers and; millers, covering the six principal winter wheat states, which generally raise two-thirds of the winter wheat crop of the United States, Two thousand and six hundred are from the important wheat countries and 1,449 from the smaller. Ohio, Indiana and Illinois send about 900 reports each, Michigan 500, Kansas and Missouri about 400 each. The six states will have about half of last year’s crop. Michigan and Missouri promise the best, or about twothirds. Ohio will have a trifle over half a crop; Indiana and Illinois a trifle less than half and Kansas the worst There has been a small decline in the condition during the past nionth. One thousand four hundred and twen-ty-three reports say it is about the same; 1,009, a trifle better, 999 a trifle worse and 534 much worse. Missouri ‘shows a slight improvement. The quality will be inferior to the last crop. It promises to be irregular. Thirteen hundred and ninety say it will be mostly No. 2 red; 1,615 say mostly No. 3 red; 399 about half No. 3 and No. 3; 324 say No. 4 red, and 196 rejected or worse. Illinois will have the poorest Eleven hundred and thirty-seven say new wheat will begin to move freely during the first week of July; 1,934 during the second week; 503 in the third week; 304 the last of July, and 529 in August or later. Nine hundred and fifty-two say farmers will sell freely soon after harvest; 263 say many will be compelled to sell; 73.1 say about half will sell freely; 212 say they will hold for better prices and 1.614 say a large majority will hold. Many say there will be no surplus over their local wants. Some say they will sell their poor wheat first. Clover seed promised poorly. Recent rains have improved it some but a large majority say it is too early to tell what the crop will be.

ARRESTED ON SUSPICION SU Being Implicated in the Riddles Train Canyonviuje, Ore., July 6.—News has just been received here that George Kirwin, the deputy sheriff in pursuit of the men who held up the Oregon express, has arrested two men, suspected of being implicated in the crime. They are James Pool and a man named Case, alias McDowell, and weie taken into custody in the mountains near Riddles station. Pool is a desperate character and has been in the penitentiary several times. He was convicted of cattle stealing in Idaho. He murdered a man at Elk Creek, Douglas county, but could not be prosecuted owing to the death of witnesses. There is a warrant in the sheriff’s hands for Pool’s arrest for cattle stealing. It is believed that if Pool and Case are not directly concerned in the robbery they can furnish information to the officers which will lead to a clew to the where* abouts of the men implicated. SIXTEEN KILLED lad Many Others Supposed to be tombed In the Ruins. Panama, July 8.—A boiler in the electric light plant at Cartha/mna exploded on Monday morning at 1 o’clock. A number of prisoners who were confined in the jail near the works were killed. The shock threw down the buildings in the neighborhood. So far it is known that sixteen persons were killed. Many others are supposed to be entombed in the ruins of the plant, which was totally wrecked, and search b being made for them. Robbery.

GREAT STORM IN CHICAGO Hcb u the City Had Mot Scon to TomGreat Destruction of Property, aid Proltnablo Hmtjt Un of Life Caiucd Moatljr by the Capolainy of Vatadli US tbe Shore—Detail* of the Great Blow. Chicago, July 8.—With little warning1 of its terrific, death-dealing force and destructive character, a wind and rain storm such as Chicago has not seen for years broke upon the city about 5:30 o'clock yesterday a'fternoon. The first approach of the storm was indicated by a severe blowing of dost in the business part of the city, sending the thousands of pedestrians to seek refuge in the hotels and stores which were opened. In a few minutes the gale increased to a fifty-mile gait.

and the sky was overcast with circulating’clouds and black masses filled with the deluge to come. Wind and rain soon mingled with terrific force, and people on the streets and the thousands of women and .children in the parks became frightened^ thinking a cyclone was upon them.. The heat during the day had become oppressive and windows in the hotels were left open. Before they could be : clqped thousands of dollars worth of ; damage had been done and several injuries from glass were reported. It was dangerous to venture on the streets of the down-town district, where, flying flagpoles, awnings, signs and broken windows filled the air. This was especially true along State street 'Several hundred flags hung from the windows of the big department stores of Siegel. Cooper «fc Co. and A. M. Rothschilds & Co. were , swept away from their fastenings and carried with deadly force to the sidewalk. Several persons who braved the storm were struck by the poles, but they escaped serious injury. Two thousand spectators were caught at the baseball park during the league game, and had to stay huddled in the grand stand until the deluge subsided. The duration of the sjorm. I so Tar as the rain was concerned, did J not exceed two hours, but the wind remained high! until a late hour. Possibly 100,000 persons were caught in the city parks away from a place of shelter, and were wet to the skin before finding cover. Thousands of these unfortunates were on wheels, and they got even a worse drenching than those on foot. The yacht Idler capsized in the lake near Rogers’ park when the storm broke. William I'iewcomb apd Ellis Parks were^hrown into the water, but managed to cling to the upturned boat until the crew of the life-saving station rescued them. Reports were received by the police from a variety of sources during the night of boats having been seen to capsize during the storm and the occupants to disappear under the water, but no bodies have yet been recovered and it will be impossible to ascertain the exact loss of life until reports of the missing are received. At midnight the news was received that Chas. Kline and Chas. Leeshook, who were supposed to have been efrowned by the capsizing of the yacht Pilot, were picked up alive off the Thirty-fifth-street pier. They were almost dead from exhaustion and reported that their companion, John Ross, was surely drowned. The yacht was seen in distress at the outset of the storm off the Twenty-secogd-street pier, and spectators were sure all had been drowned when the boat capsized and nothing more was seen of the occupants, the three men mentioned. A rowboat with one man in it was seen off the north pier when the storm broke, about two miles from shore. He was seen to struggle with his frail craft, and in a few minutes he disappeared under the white-capped waves to be seen no more. On the Panhandle railroad at Ada street a switch tower was twisted from its foundation and turned over. August Boedlow, the switchman, who was in the tower at the time, had his legs broken by the fall, and his hands and face were cut severely. Two high walls which had been left standing at 442 Wabash avenue, on the site of a burned building, were blown down and threw the people of the neighborhood into a fright, but no one Avas hurt. A loss of several thousand dollars was caused by the breaking of the roof of the five-story building 128 Washington street, adjoining the Chicago opera house. Every office below was flooded, and the costly saloon of Dan O’Brien, on the ground floor, was flooded. The ceiling broke and a fire also started from the electric wires.

A TERRIFIC CYCLONE Visits Memphis. Tens., sod Neighboring Towns, Doing: Great Damage. Memphis, Tenn., July 7.—A terrific cyclone is sweeping this section tonight, though as yet no loss oi life is reported. It must have occurred, how* ever, as many houses were either swept entirely away or badly wrecked. The earliest appearance of the storm was about 8 o'clock, at Covington, Tenn., forty miles north of here. There several houses were battered and torn. At 11 o’clock it swept over Pine Bluff. Ark., wrecking a number ol smaller houses. Wires from there, north and south, are down. It swept over this city about midnight, but ow<* ing to its natural protection from heavy wind storms, no serious consequences have appeared as yet. The storm was followed by heavy rainfalL FIVE PERSONS DROWNED By the Swamping of a Steam Launch on ” Lake Geneva.
