comes 'Under the BLicroscopc.
LONDON, Sept. I8.—The closing week of
Rev. Dr. -Talmage's preaching tone was
marked by several gatherings which in
magnitude rind enthusiasm eclipsed allthat
had .preceded them. The last service in
London was on September 3, when, after
addressing three great meetings during the
daytime, .he spoke to an immense multi-
• tude in Hyde Park .in the evening. " Some
.estimate place the anmber at thirty thou -
nand. The croWd, was so dense that Many
:women fainted and had to be removed.
'During the service the auditors were rais-
ed to the brightest pitch of religious fa'-
. vor„ and scenes were enacted such as have
.•niot been -witnessed since the clays of •White--
eld. On the following Wednesday eve-
ning, Dr. Talmage addressed a great aucli-
• ence at the Crystal Palace, Sydenham, the
largest building in the suburbs of London.
Prayer meetings invoking the divine bless-
ing on the- services weie held in various
churches the preceding Monday and Tues-
day evenings. Before the sermon, Dr.
Tahnage was entertained by a banquet in
the large banqueting • hall of the Crys-
tal Palace, by 100 distinguished clergy-
men and laymen oi every -de-nomina-
• tion, and from every continent,. even
including Australia. A vote • of
thanks was moved rehearsing, Dr. Tal-
mage's eminent services to God and hu-
manity :. also that he. had travelled over
12000 Miles and preached in every promia
nent _city in Great. Britain to hundreds of
thousands of eager auditors ; collected
vast . sums for various English
_
benevolence, and, throughout the
entire. tour, ,paid his own expenses,
. not retaining one farthing. Rev. Dr.
Thain Davidson seconded the motion, and
declared that. Dr. Talmage commanded the
admiration of the entire Christian world.
for faithfully preaching the orthodox Gos-
pel in times of fierce religious dissension.
The motion.. VMS unanimously carried amid
great applause. Dr. Talmage was then
-Pres nted, in behalf of his English admir-
i
ers i, .th adseautiful and costly gold watch
of u ique design, inscribed : 'Presented
• , to Res'. Dr. Talmage at Crystal Palace,
London, in commemoration of his preach-
ing our through England, in the summer
of I '91" Dr. Talmage Ives- then escorted
to tlie great hall, where the vote of thanks
wasi unanimously endorsed and ratified by
the fentire audience. •.
He then preached his farewell sermon
and shook hands with hundreds at the
? close. This was the second sermon ever
preached in the Crystal Palace, the first
having been delivered by Pastor Spurgeon
thirty-five years ago on the Crimean War.
The text selected for to -day is from Prov.
30: 8: "The spider taketh hold with her
hand e and is in kings' palaces."
Permitt edas I was a few days ago to
attend the meeting- of the British Scientific
• Association, at Edinburgh, I found that no
paper read hid excited more interest than
that, by Rev. Dr; McCook, of America, on
• the subject of spiders. It seems that my
talented countryman, banished from his
pulpit for a short time by ill -health, had in
• the fields and forests given himself to the
study of insects. And surely if it is not be-
neath the dignity of God to make spiders,
it is not beneath the dignity of man to
etudY them.
We areall watching for phenomena,. A
sky full of stars shining from January to
January calls out not so many remarks as
the Weenie of one meteor. A whole flock
of robins take not so much of our attention
as one blundering bat darting into the win-
dow on a summer. eve. Things of ordinary
soend, and sight, and occurrence, fail to
reach us, and. yet no grasshopper ever
springs up in our path, no moth ever
eashes into the evening candle, no
• mote ever floats in the sunbeam that
roars through the crack of the window
shutter, no barnacle on ship's hull,no
burr on a chestnut, no limpet clinging
tea a rock, no rind of an artichoke but •
would teach us a lesson if we were not so -
stupid. God in his Bible sets forth for -our
'consideration the lily, and the snowflake,
and the locust,. and the stork's nest and
the hind's foot, and. the aurora borealis,,and
, the ant -hills. (inc of the sacred writers,
sitting amid the mountains, sees- a hind
skipping over the rocks. The hind had
such a peculiarly shaped foot that it can go
over the steepest places without falling,
and as a prophet looks upon that marking
of the hind's foot on the rocks, and thinks
of the Divine care over him he says :
."Thou makest my feet like hinds' feet
that -I may walls on high places."- . .And
another sacred writer sees the ostrich leav-
ing its egg in the sand of the desert, and
without any care of incnbationa walk
off; and the Scripture says, that is like some
parents, leaving their children . without
any -wing of prdtection or care. In my
text, inspiration opens before us the gate
of a palace, and we are inducted. - amid the
pomp of the throne andthecourtier, and
• while we are looking 7round u_pon the
magnificence, inspiration points us to a
spider plying itssehuttle and weaving its
net on the wall.. It does ,not call us to
regard the grand surroundings of the
palace, but, to a isoicrart and earnest con- ,
eideration of the tfact. that: "The spider
taketh hold with her hands, and is in king's
palaces.
It is not very • certain what was the
particular species of insect spoken of in
the text, but I shall proceed to learn
from it the exquisiteness of the Divine
mechanism. The king's Chaenberlaie
comes into the palace, and looks around
and sees the spider on the wall, and says:
"Away with that 'intruder," and the ser-
vant of Solomon's palace comes with his
hroom and dashes down the insect., saying:
"What a loathsome- thing it is." But un-
der microscopic; inspection I find it more
wondrous of construction than the em-
oroideries on the palace wall, and the up
hoistery about the windows. All the ma-
chinery of the earth could not make any -
•thing -so de1icat6 and beautiful as the pre-
hensile with which that spider clutches its
prey, or as any of its eight eyes. ' We do
not have to go so far up to see the power
•f ,f God in the tapestry hanging around the
windows of heaven, or in the horses or
"ehariots of fire with widen the dying day
departs, or to loek at the mountain swing-
ing out its sword arm froni under the man-
tle of darkness um il it can strike _with itz
scimetar of the lightning. I love better to
study God in the shape of a fly's wing, in
the formotion of a fish's scale, in the snow
whiteness of a pond lily. I love to track his
foot -steps in the mountain no, and to
hear his voice in the hum of the aye fields,
and discover the tustie of his roe of light
in the south wind. Oh, this wonder of
Divine power that ran build a habitation
• for God in an apple blossom,- and tune a
bee e voice until it is fit for the eternal or-
ehestra, and con say to a firefly : Let
litere be light ; and irom heading an Ocean
in the hollow of his hand goes forth to- find
heights, and depths, and length, and
breadth of omnipotency in a dewdrop, and
dismounts from the chariot of mid nigl it hur-
ricane to cross ever on the suspension bridge
of :a wider web. You may take a tele-
scope fad sweep it across the heavens in
order to behold the glory of God ; but I
shall take the leaf holding the spider, and
the spider's web, and I shall bring tile mi-
croscope to my eye, and while 1 gaze, and
look, and studea and am confounded, I will
kneel down in the grass and crv : "Great
ana marv.enous are ;thy works, Lord cer- od
Ahnighty !"
Again, lily text teaches me that insignifi-
cance is no excuse for inaction. This 'spider
that Solomon BOW. tin the wall might have
said, "I can't wag*, et a web worthy of. this
palace; what can 1 :do amid all this gold
embroidery? 1 ahi not able to make any-
thing fit for so grittia•a place, and so I will
not work with inyigoinning-jenny." Not so
said the spider. ;1'The spider taketh hold
with her hands.". 1 Oh, what a lesson that
is for you and ine, You Gay if you had
some great serinoii to preach, if you only
had a great audience to talk to, if you
only had a Constitution to write,
if 'there sorts some tremendous
thing in the world, to do—then you Would
.show us. Yes, yohiwould show us ! What
if the Levite in the ancient temple had re-
fused to snuff the, handle beca,use he could
not be a high istioq What if the hu.mming-
bird should refus0 tb sing its song into the
ear of the hoileyatiekle because it cannot,
like the eagle, aleph its wing into the sun?
What if the retn-Eleiep should refuse to de-
scend because it is tiot . a Niagara ? What
if the spider of the text should rnfuse to
move its shuttle becauee it cannot weave a,
Solomon's robe? 'Away with such folly. If
you are lazy with t the one talent, you would
be lazy with the ten talents. If Milo. can-
not lift the calf he never will have strength
to lift the ox. Inithe Lord's army there is
order for promoting.* ; but you cannot be a
general until you have been a captain, a
lieutenant and a colonel. It is step by step
it is inch by it is stroke by stroke thal
our Christian character is builded. There-
fore be _conteAt. to do -what God
commands you tci, do: God is not asham-
ed to do small things. He is not asham-
ed to be found chiselling a grain of sand,
or helping.a honeybee to construct its cell
with matheniatibal accuracy, or tingeing
a shell in the suit or shaping the bill of a
chaffinch. What God does He does well.
What. you do, do well, be it a great work
or a small work. ' If ten talents, employ
all the ten. if live talents, employ all the
five. If one talent, employ- the one. If
only the thodeandth part ofa talent, em-
ploy that. "Bdi thou faithful unto death
and I will give thee the crown of life."
tell you if yoti are not faithful to God in a
small sphere, yclit would be indolent mid in-
eignificent in a large sphere. s
Again, rhy text teaches methat repul-
siveness and loathsomeness will. sometimes
climb up ititch very elevated places. You
would have tried to have killed the spider
that Soloinorlisidv. You would have said :
"This is no place for it. If that spider is
deterniinediiiveav.e a web, let it (Id so
down in the cellar of this palace, or in dome
dark dungeon.",, Ah ! the spicier of the text
could not be, discouraged. .It clanibered
on, and climbed up, higher, and higher,
and higher, until after a while it reached
the king's -Ord* and he said : "The
spider taketh hold with his hands, and in
the king's plidaces." And eo it often is
now that. things that are loathsome
and repulsive get up into very elevated
plaees.,
The Chtiret of Christ. for instance, is a
palace. , The;irig of Heaven end earth lives
in it. Accohlnigto the Bible, her beams
are of Cedar,' arid her rafters of fir, a,nd her
windows of agate, and the fountains of :sal-
vation clash a ram ri of light. It heti glorious
palace—the ell:arch of God is ; and yet,
sometlinedi unseemly and loathsome things
creep hp intd it—evil-speaking, and rancor,
and slander, and backbiting, and abuse,
crawling lip oh the walls of the (lurch,
spinning a web from arch to arch, and from
t -he top of one communion tankard to the
top of anoth,er communion tankard.Glorious
palace in which there oughtonly to be light,
and love':arid pardon, and. grace ; yet a

Yders , ago. With lanterns and iGorches,-
and4 vide; We went down in the Main -
rt -1i Ca•VeM' Xentuckv. You mav waik
iourteen miles and see no Sunlight. Itis a
stupendous place. Some places the roof
of the cave is a "hundred feet high. - The
grottoes filled with weird echoes,- cascades
'falling from invisible height to invisible
depth. Stalagmites rising up from the
• floor of the cave --stalactites descending
from the roof of thecave, joiningeach
other, and making pillars of the Almighty
sculpturing. There are rosettes of amethyst
in halls of gypsum. Asethe. guide carries
his lantern ahead of you, the shadows have
an appearance supernatural and spectral.
The darkness is fearful. Two people, get-
ting lest from their guide only for a few
hours,. years ago, were demented, and °for
years sat in their insanity. You feel like
holding your breath as you walk across the
bridges that seem to span the bottomless
abyss. The guide threws his calcium light
down into the caverns, and the light .ro ls
and tosses from reek to rock, and from
depth to depth, making at every plunge a
new revelation of the awful power that
could have made such a place as that. A
sense of suffocation comes upon you as yoa
think that..you are two hundred and fifty
feet in a straight line from the sunlit sur-
face of the earth. The guide, after awhile,
takes you into what is called the "Star
Chamber," and then he says to you: "Sit
here," and theu he takes the lantern and
goes down under the rocks, and it gets dark-
er and darker, until the .eight is so thick
that the hand an inch from the eye is unob-
servable. And then, by kindling one of the
lanterns, and placing it in a cleft of the ,
rock, there is a reflection cast on the dome
of the cave, and there are stars coming out
in constellations—a brilliant night heavens
--and you involuntarily exclaim; "Beauti-
ful ! beautiful ! Then he takes the lantern
down in other depths of the cavern and
wanders on, and wanders off, until he
comes up from behind the rocks gradnally,.
and it seems like the dawn of the morning
and it gets brighter -and brighter. The
guide is a skilled venrilog hist, and- he im-
itates the voices of the morning, and soon
the .glodin is all gone, and you stand con-
gratulating yourself over the wonderful
spectacle.
• Well, there are a great many people who
look down into the grave as a great cavern.
They think it is ea thousand miles subter-
raneous, and on all the echoes seem to be
the voices of dispair, and the cascades seem
to be the falling tears that always fall, and
the gloom of earth seems coming ;up in stal-
agmite, and the gloom of the eternal world
• seems descending in the stalactite; mak-
ing. pillars of indescribable. horror. The
grave is no such place - as that to
me, thank God! Our divine Guide
takes us down into the great cav-
erns, and we have the lamp to our feet
and the light to our path and all the echoes
in the rifts of the rock are anthems, and
v11 the falling waters are fountains of sal-
bation, and, after awhile, we look up, and
cehold ! the cavern of the tomb has be-
came a King's star chamber. And, while
we are looking at the pomp of it, an ever, -
lasting morning begins to rise, and. all the
tear e of earth crystallize into stalagmite,
rising up in a pillar on the .one side, and
all the glories of heaven seem to be
descending in a stalactite,. making a pillar
on -the other side, and you push against the
gate that swings between the two pillars,
and, as that gate flashes open, you find that
it is one of the twelve gates which are
twelve pearls. Blessed be God, that
through this Gospel the mammoth cave Of
the sepulchre has become the illumined
star chamber of the King! Oh, the pal-
aces! the eternal palaces ! ,the King's pal-
aces!
Respect for women:
• It is a question that depends a good deal
upon the point of view, whether considera-
tion for women in public places be not van-
ishing -as a characteristic of American men.
There are thosd who insist that it is not
that of the passenger in the conveyances or
on the streets of our large cities. To one
who is daily forced to observation in this ex-
tensive field there is little chance for doubt.
It is not that women do not receive the
prompt and unfailing courtesy °that was
formerly accorded to them, but they are
treated with a cool and impudent rudeness,
with a lack not merely of gentleness but of
respect, that I believe would have im-
possible.to our fathers. They are not only
allowed to stand in public vehicles when
men are seated,.but they are. subjected, in
ways that it is as needless as , it would be
offensive to describe, to annoyances and,
not to put too fine a point en it, to in-
sult.
It is easier—and safer --to speculate on
the cause of this humiliating change than to
find—and apply—a remedy. The great in -
'crease in the proportion of persons of foreign
birth or descent, and of the uneducated
classes, has something to do with it. The
immensely greater volume of homanity itt
.motion on public thoroughfares and on the
passenger lines, and the corresponding
greater difficulty in enforcing the standard
of conduct held by the minority, is another'
cause. The fact that the behavior of em-
ployes and the officials of corporations, as of
the municipality, reflects the "average" im-
pulses and ideas of the mass counts for
mach. But the disagreeable fact remains.'

• The Oldest City.
Damascus is the oldest city in the world,
Tyre and Sidon have crumbled on the shore;
Baalbec is a roM ; Palmyra is baried in a
desert; Nineveh and Babylon have disap-
peared from the Tigris and Euphrates.
Damascus remains what sit was before the
days of Abraham—a center of trade and
travel—an island of verdure- in the desert --
"a presidential capital," wieh martial and
sacred associations extending through thirty
centuries. It was neer Damascus that Saul
of Tarsus saw the, light abcve the-bright--
ness of the sun, and the street which is
called Straight, in which it is said "he
prayed," still runs through the city. The
caravan collies and goes as it did a thousand
years ago; there is still the sheik, the ass,
and the water -wheel ; the Euphrates and
the Mediterranean still "occupy" these
"with the multitude 9f their wares.!' The
city which Mahomet surveyed from a neigh-
boring height, and „was afraid to enter
"because it was given to man to have but
one paradise, and for his pert he was re-
solved not to have it in this world," is to-
day what Julian called "the eye of the'
East," as it was in the time of Isaiah "the
head Of Syria."
—The London Advertiser of the 20th
inst., says Sunday afternoon saw it fine
audience of young men assembled in Vic-
toria Hall 19 listen to an address by Rev.
J. W. Clark. The band was in attendance
and made things quite lively. Rev. Mr.Clark
held the close attention of his audience .
while he gave them aome splendid thoughts
regarding life. He maintained that men
should have & distinct purpoie in life, and
classed under three heads the purposes that
might animate men in life, as 1st, Ma-
teriel Peasessions,2nel, Iutellectual Acquire-
mehts„and 3rd, Development of Charfteter.
In answering the query as to how character
might be developed the speaker said "There
was only one way and that was through
faith in God as revealed in Jules Christ." It
/was a masterly addreis, and cannot fail but
do good.
