^•^•Dr. Talmagr.'s sermon last Sunday morning wa# devoted to a description of the night-tide of city -life in New York. His text wan: "The destruction of the poor is their poverty." (Proverbs *, 15:)

The following is a complete re

poit: On an island nine miles long by two and a half wide standa the largest city of the United States, mightiest for virtue and for sin. Tlefore we get through we ahall see its tnidnoon of magnificent progress and philanthropy, as well as it* midnight of »in and crime and woe Twice every twenty-four hours our City Mall and ok) Trinity strike twelve—o.ice while business and art are in full blast, and the other while iniquity is doing it« utmost. Both stories must be told.' It it pleasanter to put on a plaster than tc thrust in a probe, but it is absurd to pro pose remedies until we take the com pWte diagnosis of municipal diseare. The patient may cringe, and squirm, and fight back, and resist, but the sur geon must go on. Before I get through this course of sermons, I will make all the people smile with approval at the beautiful things I shall say about the bcneficence and grandeur of these cities clustering about the rqouth of the Hudson and East rivers, but now my work is excavation and exposure. I can't put on the balm till I rip off the bandage. It affords me as much amuse ment as any man of iivy profession can with propriety indulge in at any one time, to see many of the clerical reformers our day bravely mounting their

chargcr, plunging in the spurs and dash ing down with glittering lance to plunge It into the iniquities of the ancient cities that have been dead three or four thou sand years. They get an old sinner of eighteen ccnturies ago in a corner, and scalp him and hang nim and cut him to pieces, and cry out: "See what I have done 1" With utmost prowess they fling sulphur at Sodom, and lire at Gomorrah,

ana

worms at King Herod, and pitch Jezebel off the wall, but put on their best kid gloves and wipe their gold spectacles to read from a sermon inclosed in a moroco cover any remarks abourthe sins of our own times? considering the subject so' delicate that it is a shame even to speak of it. The hypocrites! The simple fact is-they arc afraid of the libertines in their board of trustees, or their deacons who drink too much, or their ses i*ions who grind the face of the poor. My: "Clear out our churches of all au dience from pulpit to storm door, with no one left but the sexton, and he only waiting because it is his business to lock up, rather than have our pulpits shiver

who need to be arraigned. That is one reason why I like a big church. If a dozen men get mad at the truth and go out we d«n't find it out until the year after they are gone. It is in the city on the top of the ground that needs to be reformed, and not the Herculaneums buried in volcanic ashes, or the Cities of the Plain sixty feet down under the Dead Sea.

ANOTHER NIGHT OF EXPLORATION.

This morning I turn over a new leaf in oav midnight exploration. In company with city missionaiies and the police oi Brooklyn and New Yo-k, I have seen other things than those mentioned in my previous discourses on the night side of city He This night is darker than anv 1 have mentions). There are no glittering chandeliers or blazing mirrors or diamonds to adorn it, It is the long, deep, bitter night of city pauperism. "We will want no carriage for to-night," said mv police attendants, "a carriage would be a hindrance where we are going. 'A carriage rolling up to the places of our exploration would excite wonder, and the people would flock round asking what was the matter." So at 8 o'clock we •tarted on foot and walked through the lanes of poverty and crime. Everything was revolting to eye, and ear, and ncwtril —unwashed, uncombed the population, nnventilateJ the rooms three midnights overlapping the darkness of each othermidnight in the natural world, midnight of crime, midnight of pauperism! Stairs oozing with filth inhabitants vermin-coverec! Thtv have

ie nine-tenths of the way toward their doom. They started in unhappy home of city or country. They entered iniquity far up town, in the shambles ot death within ten minutes' walk of the Fifth Avenue Hotel, and came gradually on down to the Fourth ward. When lhsv move out from here they will go to Bellevue Hospital, thence to Blackwell's Island, thence to the Potters'Field, and from thence to he'l. Bellevue Hospital and Blacwell's Island receive in one vear

18,000

patients. We don't know

how many yearly go into the Potters' field. As we went on, the rain flashed and dropped about the doorways, adding more gloom to the night. Let the police

go ahead, and flash his lantern upon the scene Fourteen people asleep in this one room, or trying to get asleep, some on a Jew handful# of Mraw. but more on the bare floor, neither'- hlanke nor pillow You say thin is txcrptional It is not.

die in tenement

houses. No lungs that God ever marie can lor a grebt while endure such an atmosphere. In the Fourth ward there are

people crowded within the

space of thirty acres. Why does not New York, like Liverpool, clear out these celiais? Liverpool cleared out 20,000 ot such people and saved not only the city from moral pestilence, but saved many of those who would have been victims. No reformation of our cities until this terrible tene-ment-house system 1# broken up. The city authoi ities must buy farms where these people can bv force ot law be placed and made to work.

ONLY AN OUTCAST AND A DRUNKARD

Hark What was that Aloud thud on the pavement. A drunkard has slip ped ana failed with his head against the step, and the police are trying to lift him. Ring for the city ambulance. Oh, no he is only an outcast, only a heap of rags and sores. Better look again. Perhaps you may find that he has in his face some trace of respectability and intelligence. Perhaps he may have been made in the image of God. Perhaps he has a soul £that shall live after the dripping heavens of thi* dismal night shall have been rolled together as a scroll. Perhaps he may have been died for by a Kii.g. Perhaps he might be come a conqueror charioted in the splendors of a heavenly welcome. But we can't stop. On the opposite side the rain beating straight in his face, is another man in entire unconsciousness. I wonder if any home is waiting for him I wonder if that gashed and bloated cheek-was ever kissed by maternal tenderness? I won der how he came to be so battered and bruised. Is he ttranded for eternity? On we passed amid the blasphemies that filled the. air until suddenly we heard a loud Christian song rolling out through the storm. We hastened to a window and looked in—a large room full of all kinds of people some of them weeping, some singing, some standing, some kneeling, some shaking hands to give encouiagement some wringing their hands in grief, as though morning a wasted life, What was it? Jerry McAnley's glorious Christian Mission. Snatched himself from the edges of death, here he stands in the strength of God sna*ching others from ruin. That was a scene worth all the fatigue and nausea of the midnight exploration. Our tears fell with the rain tears of sympathy for a good man's work, tears of gratitude to God that, there was at least one life boat launched on that wild sea of sin and crime, tears of hope that there might be, after awhile, enough life boats to take off all the wrecked, and that the churches, forgetting their accursed fastidiousness, might lay hold with hoti« |*ands to this work, which must be done if our citits are not to oerUh in a delnge of blood and fire

The places in London historical lor crowded tenement house?, St. Giles, Whitechapel and St. James, West London, and Hoiborn, and the Strand, have their matches at least in the Fourth and Sixth and Eleventh and Fourteenth and Seven teenth wards of New York.

This cluster of cities has more to contend with than any cities on the continent. In twenty-eight years

5,000,000

of foreign population have landed at Qur port. Those who had capital and means, for the most part, moved rn to the great opening of the west. Some of those who stopped here have become our mort useful citizens, but nearly all the villainous population remained within our borders ready to be manipulated by our demagogues and for the hatching-out of all criminal desperations The native vagrancy and beggary of New York has been augmented by the thievery and impuritv of the worst population of Londoi. and Paris and Edinborough and Belfast and Dublin and Cork. We would have had enough vagabondage and turpitude in our American cities without this importation dumped at Castle Garden. How much pauperism we saw by the flash of the police lantern How much more we did not see! How much more no eye but God's will ever take in 1 There it is cuddled up in the cell of the police station. They' come shivering in, tip their torn hat, and say: "A night's lodging, sir," and are turned into the dreu.ifal dormitories. You can hardly stand the noxious air long enough to look how can they endure it all night and every night! Think of it—140,000 lodgers cf this sort every year in the station-houses! And what pathos in the thought that whole families, turned out of doors because they can't pay their rent, must tumble in here for shelter, the respectable and the reprobate they who have struggled for decency and good name flung helpless into the loathesome pool, innocent childhood and vicious old age, God's poor and Satan's desperadoes. No report of charity commissioner or police commissioner or almt-house can half tell the storjr of New York and Brooklyn pauperism. It will take a larger book, a book with more ponderous lids, a book made up of other paper than that of human manufuctorr, the book of God's remembrance. At my basement door we hare an average of one hundred calls a day seeking alms. In my rcceptiou room every day 1 have applications for help that an old-style silken purse gathered by a ring in the middie and with Vanderbilt's wealth in one side and William B.

would to God that I might throw bombshell of arousal into every city hall, meeting-house and cathedral on this con tinent! The factories at Fall River and Lowell have sometimes stopped for lack of demand or lack uf workmen but the great million -roomed factory of sin goes on by day and night, year after year, without slacking a hand or arresting a spindle. Its great wheel is turned by a flood not like that of the Merrimac or Connecticut^ bui

these children, by matchless stratagem of charity changing that multitude from vagrancy, into industrious and useful citi aenship." Out of 31,000 thus transported only twelve turned out badly. But still the battalion of juvenile vagrancy march es on.

One regiment is made up of bootblacks. They stem jolly, but they have known sorrow greater than many an old man. Amid the vilest of temptations, and kicked and cuffed up garrets and down cellars, they make their

week, and by fifteen years of natural life arc sixty years old in sin. Pitching pennies is their leisure and smoking the stumps of cigars thrown into the ditch. They are the prey of gamblers, and de otroyed by the top gallery of the low play-house. Blacking shoes their business, the interregnum of their work is swallowed up with the blackening ot their morals. ''Shine your boots, sir," they sing out yith affected gayety of voice, but there is a sad tremor in their accentuation. No one cares tor them. You thoughtlessly put up your foot on their stand, and whistle or smoke while, God knows, it would not have hurt you to have said a kind word of counsel, or of good cheer. Who has prayed for a boot black? Who, finding one wronged out of his ten cents, has demanded for him ji*st ice? Who, finding the wind blowing up under his short jacket and reddening his bare neck, has invited him in to warm? God have mercy on the regiment cf boot-blacks.

NEWS BOYS Of Ntw YORK.*

Another regiment oi this great battal ion ot suffering is made up of the news boys, the sharpest, wisest, wittiest lads of the town. Up at 4 o'clock in the morning, by unnatural vigilance waking at half past

themselves, or roughly pulled

out at thut hour, the cold, damp sheets of the folding-rooms flung over their arm and against their chest, already shivering, and around the bleak ferries and on the slippery pavements of the winter, singing as merrily as though they were chanting a Christmas carol,"Sun, Herald, Tribune, and Times." or in the bleak evening filling the air with the cry of "Eagle, Argus, Evening Express, Post, and Commercial,' and making only half a cent on each sale Working fourteen hours for fifty centK In one year about 8,000 of these boys applied for* help at the newsboys' lodging house, on Park Place, and about 1,000 ot them laid up in the savings bank about

$3,000.

But lor the great multi

tude there remains hunger and cold and nakedness and early graves or quick pais ons. There it nothing on the street that so moves me as when on a wintry morning I see a newsboy with papers that he can't sell, about one-fourtn clothed, crying with the cold, his face or hands bleeding from a fall, or rubbing a knee that has been hit on the side of the car, selling newspapers that tett of railroad.accidents and boiler explosions, and the foundering of ships in the last storm, while he says nothing about that' which was to hiimeif greater than all other misfortunes aad disasters—the fact that he was e»er born at all. By the red eye 'of the police lantern see them coiled up in the deep shm.ber of the night, for a lew hours forgetful of want and pain and storm and darkness. But, one of them ttroggling in his dream, at, he supposed that some one was stealing hit papers from him, I stopped ami thougftt whether it would be right to wish that they

DEATH. .•

But there arc other regiments marching on—regiment* of rag-pickers, regiments of match-sellers, regiments of juvenile thieves, great reserve corps of darkness and deatn. What will become of ociety it they are unarrested and unsaved? But I said to the detec ives, "Enough for one nfght of the misery of New York." We had gone up and down stairwavs, and into cellars,and turned thin way and that, until I knew not where we were, except that we were bounded on the north by want, on the south by suffering, on the east by anguish,-and on the west by despair. Everything had opened before us, for the detectives pretended to be looking for a thief, and giving the imp'O^ion that I was the ma.i who had lost the property. It was not my own stratagem, but theirs. Th«m we turned homeward, and I thought that next Sabbath 1 wruld like to make the panorama pass bt fore my congregation, tirring their pitv, arousing their beneficence, and mak'ng them the everlasting friends of Christian evangelization.

May prosperity attend all foreign missions, but dcnJt forget the heathenism on both sides of the East river, the heathenism around New York harbor and the Brooklyn Atlantic docks. Send missionaries by all means to Borrioboola Gha, but send them al60 through Baxter street, Houston street, Navy street, Atlantic street, Fulton street. If you desire, by all means send quilted coverlids to Cen tral Africa to keep the natives warm in summer time and ice cream freezers to Greenland, but let us do something for the relief of the cities where we live, cities that want more breaa, more shoes, more hats, more coats, more Christ.

TWO PICTURES ON THE CANVAS., There i6 nothing more entertaining and impressive than a skillful magic-lan-tern when the room is darkened and the picture is thrown on the canvas. I close with two such exhibitions—the magiclanterns of the police and ttie hi me. First, having darkened all these emblazoned windows, I set up the magic-lan-tern of the home, and throw on the walls the night-scenes of a Christian mother putting her little ones to bed. She is trying to hush the frikv and giggling group for their evening prayer. Their head against the figured canopy, their crooked tongue unable to make intelligible to any one «lse the petition, "I pray the Lord my soul to keep,' then laid in the snug nest covered to the chin, with a warm good night kiss they are left to the guardian spirits that all night long cancpy with wings the trundle bed.

Now I throw on the wall a picture from the police lantern. A boy kenneled for the night under the 6tairway ot a hall through which the wind sweeps, or on the cold ground of the cellar. He had no parentage, but was kicked into the world by some merciless incognito. No one puts him to bed—he has no bed. His cold fingers thrust through his tumbled hair his only pillow. He did not sup he will nut breakfast an outcast, a waif, a ragamuffin. Poor boy when 'he laid down to 6leep he said no prayer, for he never knew the name of God and Christ except as something to swear by. The wings tnat hover over him are damp and bat-like, the wings of neglect and penury and want.

Again, I throw the magic lantern of the home on the canvas and see that Christian daughter has ju6t died. Car riages roll up to the door fh syn: pathy flowers in crosses and anchors and crowns cover the casket, and the silver plate says: "Aged eighteen funeral ocrvice intoned amid groups of the shawl edandgold braceleted long procession to beautiful family plat in unparalleled Greenwood, where sculptor will set up a monument of burnished Aberdeen, with epitaph: "She is not dead, but sleep eth."

Look upon the canvas,, and see that a waif of the street has just expired. Did she have any doctor? No. Did she have any medicine No. Any one to prcpare delicate food in hours of poor appetite No. Any one to close her eyes and fold her hands for the last slumber No. Are there no decent garments in which to wrap her in the tomb No, These worn-out shoes are not fit to put on her feet for this last journey. Where are the good Christians? They are rock ing chaired in their loose morninggowns, in tears over Bulwer Lytton's account of the Last Days of Pompeii or they are kneeling on sot't rugs in church praying for the forlorn Hottentots. But she must be buried. Call in the coroner, call in the commissioner of charitics. The carpenter unrolls his measuring tape and decides she needs a box five feet and two inchcs long. Two men will lift her in the box and drive the wagon to the Potters' Field. The excavation i) not wide enough for the box, but the men are in a hurry and one of them stands on the lid and stamps it down to its place in the ground. Stop till some city missionary can come and read a chapter or sap ashes to ashes, dust to dust. "No," answer the men of the spade, we have twu more of the same sort to bury before noon." But how shall we get the grave filled up? Christ suggests a way. I think it had better be filled up .vith stones. Let alt those who are with out sin come and each cast a stone at her until the excavation is filled. Now throw the shovels in the wagon and be off. But after they are gone, I see one stepping toward the pile of stones. He walks slowly as if his feet hurt, and coming to the placc, he stands watching ail that day and all that night. I find it is the Christ of Mary Magdalen. I think there must have been a dying prayer and repenting tears, and that around this

place there may at last be more pomp ol resurrection than when Qpeen Elizabeth gets up from the mausoleum in Westmmster Abbey.
