BROOKLYN, November 13.-Thc tubject
of discourse chosen by Rev. rik. Talmage
for hia:first sermon after the national elec-
tion was one peculiarly appropriate to the
money -making spirit of the times. It was
the “The Golden Calf," the text selected
being Exodus 32 : 20, "And he took the calf
wide!i thee: had made andl burnt it in the
'fire, and ground it to powder and strewed
it upon the water and made the hhildren of
Israel drink of it."
. VeoPle will have a god of 110Mer kind, and
they prefer one of their own makIng. Here
come the Israelites, breaking off their golden
earrings, the men as well as the Women, for
in those times there were m,asculihe as well
as feminine decorations. Where did they
gee these -beautiful gold earrings, boining up
as they did from the desert? Oh, they
"borrowed" them of the Egyptians when
they left Egypt. These earrings are piled
up into a pyramid of glitterieg beauty.
• "Any more earrings to bring?" says
Aaron. None. Fire is kindled ! the ear-
rings are melted and poured into a mold,
not of an eagle or a war charger, but of a
calf; the gold cools off; the moldids taken
away, and the idol is set upon its four legs.
An altar is built in front of the shilling calf.
Then the people throw up their arms, and
- gyrate, and shriek, and dance mightily,
and worship, Moses has been six 'Weeks on
.Mount Sinai, and he -comes back and hears
the howling and sees the dancing of these
golden calf fanatics, and he losehis pa-
tience, and he takes the two plata of stone
on. which were written the Ten Command-
ments and flings them so hard a,gainst a
rock that they split alri to pieces. When a
inan gets mad he is very apt to tweak all
the Ten Commandments! Moses i'ushes in
arnd he takes this calf -god and throws it -
into a hot fire, until it is melted all out of
shape, and then pulverizes it -not by the
modern appliance of nitro-murialc acid,
but by the ancient appliance nitre,
or by the old-fashioned file. .110 makes
for the people a most nauseating dratighte
Be takes this pulverized golden calf
and thbews it in the only brook which
is aCCeStitb.le, and the people - are coinpelled
to drink of that brook or not drink at all.
But they did not drink all the glittering
stuff thrown on the surface. Some of it
flows on down the surface of the brook to
the river, and then flows on down the river
to the set and and the sea takes it up ancl hears
it to the mouth of all the rivers, and. when
the tide sets back, the remains Of this
golden calf are carried up into the Hudson,
and the East River, and the Thames, an
the Clyde, and the Tiber, and men go out
and they skim, the glittering surface, and
they bring it ashore and they make another
golden calf, and California and Australia
breaks off their golden earrings to augment
the pile, and in the fires of financial excite-
ment and struggle allithese things are melt-
ed together, and while we stand looking
and wondering what Will come of it, le 1 we
find that the golden calf of Israelitish wor-
ehip has become the golden calf of Eutopean
and American worship.
I shall describe te you the god spoken of
in my text, hie tample, his altar of sacrifice,
the mueic that is made in his temple, and
then the final breaking up of the whole con-
gregation of idolaters.
Pat aside this curtain and you see the
golden calf of modern idolatry. It is not
like other idols, made out of stocks of stone,
bat it has an ear so sensitive that it can
hear the whispers on Wall street and Third
street and State street; and the foot -fells in
the Bank of England, and. a flutter of a
Frenchman's heart on the Bourse. It has
an eye so keen that it can see the rust on
the farm of Michigan wheat and the insect
in the Maryland peach -orchard, and the
trampled grain under the hoof of the Rua.
:Sian war charger. It is so mighty, that it
swings any way it will the world's shipping.
It has its foot on all the merchantmen and
the steamers. It started the American
Civil War, and under God stopped it, and
it decided the Turko-Russian contest. One
broker in September, 1869, in. New York
shouted: "One hundred and sixty for a
million,!" and the whole continentshivered.
This golden calf of the text has its eight
front foot in New York, its left front foot
in Chicago, its right back foot in Charles-
_ ton, its left back foot in New Orleans, and
s
when it shakes itself it shakes the world.
Oh this is a mighty god -the golden calf of
the world's worship.
., But every god must have its temple,
and this golden calf of the text is no ex-
ception. Its temple is -vaeter than St.
Paul's of the English, and St. Peter's of
the Italians, and the Alhambra of the
Spaniards, and the Parthenon of the
Greeks, and the Taj Mahal. 9f the Hin-
doos, and all the other cathedrals put to-
gether. Its pillars are grooved and fluted
with gold, and its ribbed arches are hover-
ing gold, and its chandeliers are descend-
ing gold, and ita floors are tesselated gold,
and its vaults are crowded heaps of gold,
and its spires and domes are soaring gold,
and 'its organ pipes aee, resounding gold,
and .its pedals are tramping gold, and its
atop e pulled out are flashing gold, while
standing at the headofthe temple, as the
presiding deity, are the hoofs and, phoulders
and eyes and ears and nostrils of the calf of
gold.
Further: eveI-y god must have not, only
ite temple, but its &her of sacrifice, and this
golden calf of the text is no exception. Its
altar is not mede out of stone as other
altars, but out of counting room desks and
fire -proof safes. and it is a broad, a long, a
high altar. The victims sacrificed on it are
innumerable. What does this god care
about the groans and struggles of the vic-
tims before it?. With gold, metallic eye it
looks on and yet, letsthem suffer. Oh
heaven and earth., what an altar ! what a
aterifiee of body, niind and soul? The
pliesicial health of a great multitude is
thing on this sacrificial altar. They cannot
sleep, and they take chloral and nfotphine
and intoxicants. Some of them struggle
in a nightmare of stoelts, and at one
o'clock in the morning suddenly rise up
theuting : "A thousand glares of railroad
etock-one hundred tend eight and a half 1
take it!" until the whole family is effright-
td, end the speculators fall back on their
pillows and sleep until they are awakened
again by a- "corner" or a sudden hrise" itt
annething else. Their nerves gone, their
digestion gime, theie brifre gone, they die. ,

Moses in my text Indicated. There . ar
those who say that this golden calf spoke
of in my text was hollow, and merel
plated with gold; otherwise, they say
Moses could not have carried it. I do no
know that; but somehow, perhaps by th
assistance of his -frieeds, fie takes up thi
golden calf, which is an open insult to Go
and man, and throws into the fire, audit
melted, and then it comes out and is cdole
off, and by some chemichl appliance/ or b
an old-fashioned file, it is pulverized, an
,t is thrown into the brook, and, as
punishment the people are compelled to
drink the nauseating stuff. So, my hearers
you may depend upon it that God will bur
and He will griud to pieces the gcdclen cal
of modern idolatry, and He will compel th
people in their -agony to drink it. If no
before, it will be -so on the lest day. .
'know not where -the fire will begin, whethe
at the "Battery" or Central Park, whethe
at Brooklyn Bridge or at Bushwick,whethe
at Shoreditch,. London, or West End ; bu
it will • be a very hot blaze. • All th
Government securities of the United
States and Great Britain will *curl up in th
first blest. All the money safes and de
positing vaults will melt under the firs
touch. The sea will burn like tinder, and
the shipping will be abandoned forever.
The melted gold in the hroker's window
.will burst through the melted window glass
and into the street; but the flying popula-
tion will not stop tcescoop it up. . The cry
of “Fire" from the mountain Will be an
swered by the cry Of "Fire"in the plain.
The conflagratien will burn out from the
continent toward the sea, and then burn -in
from the sea toward the land. New York
and London witeh one cut of the red scythe
of destruction will go down. Twenty-five
thousand -miles of conflagration The
earth will wrap itself round and round in
a shroud of flame, and lie down to perish.
What then will become of your gokien
calf? Wile then so poor as to worship it ?
Melted, or between the upper And the
nether millstone of falling mountains
ground to powder. Dagon down. Mo-
loch down. Juggernaut down. Golden
calf down.
But, my friends, every day is a day of
judgment, and God is all the time grinding
to pieces the golden calf. Merchants of
Brooklyn and New York and London, what
is the characteristic of this time in which
we live? "Bad," you say. Professional
men, what is the characteristic of the times
in which -we live? "Bad," you say. Though
I should be in a minority of one, I venture
the opinion that these are the best timed We
have had for the reason that God is teach-
ing the world, as never before, that old-
fashioned honesty is the only thing that
will stand. , We have learned as never be-
fore that foreeriee will not pay ; &that the
spending of fifty 'thousand dollars on coun-
try seats and a,palatial city residence, when
there are only thirty thousand dollars in-
come, will not pay; that the appropriation
of trust funds to out own private specula-
tion will not pay. We had a great national
tumor, in the shape of fictitious presperity.
We cailed it national enlargement ; inetead
of calling its enlargement, we might better
have called it a swelling. It has been a
tumor, and God is cutting it out -has cue
it out, and the nation will get well and will
come hack to the principles of our fathers
and grandfathers when twice three made
six instead of sixty, and when the apples at
the bottom of the barrel were just as good
as the apples on the top of the barrel, and
a silk handkerchief was not half cotton,
and a man who wore a five -dollar coat paid
for was more honored than a man who
woe a fifty -dollar coat not paid for. - -
Thi' golden calf of our day, like the
one of the text, is very apt to be made
out of borrowed gold. These Israelites -
of the text borrowed the earrings of the
Egyptians and melted them into a God.
That ie the way the golden calf is made
nowadays. A great meney housekeepers,
nue paying for the erticlesthey get, bornew
Of thug. eeer and the baker and the buteher

Tlice the wholesale dealer boirows of the

borrow until the 6:immunity is divided into
two ehtas, those who borrow and those who

talist wants his money and he rushes upon
thie evholehele dealer, andthe wholesale
dealer wanes his mon y and he ru.t:hes upon
the retailer, Lied the tentiler w ants hie
money and! he rushes upon the consumer,
and we all go down together. There is
many a man in this day who rides in a car -
Hegel and owes the'bleickstnith for the tite,
and the wheelwrightffor the wheel, and the
driver for unpaid wages, and the h4ness.maker for the bridle, and the furrier f r the

everything' is paid for by nhtee that have

it is this temptation to borrow, and bind
row and borrow, that keeps the people
everlastingly praying to the golden calf for
help, and Nat at the minute they expect
the help the golden calf 'treads on them:
The judgments of pea, like Moses in the
text, will rush in and break up thiswore
shape and I say, le the work go on until
every man shall lleojrn to speak truth with
his neighbor. and nee who niiike annages

of his business iniquity, but goes on wish-
ing to Satiate his cannibal appetite by de-
vouring widows' houses shall, by the law
of the land, he compelled to exchange- his
mansion for Sing Sing. Let the golden calf
perish!
But, my friends, if we have made this
world our god, when we come to die we
will see our idol demolished. How much
of this world are you geingnte take with
you into the next? Will you have two
pockets -one in each side of your shroud?
Will you 'cushion your doflin with bonds
and mortgages and certificates of stock?
Ah! no. The ferry boat that crosses this
Jordan carries no baggage -nothing heavier
than a spirit. Yon may, perhaps, take five
hundred dollars with you two or three miles,
in the shape of funeral trappings, to
Greenwood, but you will have to leave
them there. It would not be safe for you
to lie down there with a gold watch or a
diamond ring; it would be a temptation to
the pillagers. Ah, my friends if we have
made this world -our god, when we die we
Will see our idol ground to pieces by our
pillow, and We will have to drink it in bitter
regrets for the wasted opportunities of a
lifetime. Soon we will be gone. 0! this is
alfleeting world, it is a dying world. A man
Who had worithipped it all his days, in his
dYingmoment described himself when he
said: "Fool! fool ! fool!"
I want yeti to change temples, and to
give up the worship of this unsatisfying
and cruel god for the services of the Lord
Jesus Christ. Here is the geld that will
never crumble. Here are securities that
will never fall. Here are banks that will
never break: Here is an altar on 'which
there has been onesacrifice once for all.
Here is a add who will comfort you when
you are in trouble, and soothe you when
you are sick, and save you when you die.
When your parents have breathed theirlast,
and the old, wrinkled, and trembling hands
can no more be put upon your head for a
blessing. He will be to you father and
mother both, giving you the defence of the
one and the comfort of other; and
when your children go awayfrom you, the
sweet darlings, you will no kiss them
good -by for ever. He only -wants to hold
them for you a little while. He will
give them back to you again, and He
will have them all waiting for you at
the gates of eternal welcome. Oh! what a
God He is! He will allow you to come so
close this morning that you can put your
arms around His neck, while He in respon
will put His arms around your neck. and
all the windows of heaven will be hoisted to
let the redeemed look out and see the spec-
tacle of a rejoicing father and a returned
prodigal locked in glorious embrace. Quit
worshipping the .golden calf, and bow this
day before Him in whose presence wemust
all appear when the world has turned to
ashes and the scorched parchment of the
sky shall be iolled together like an historic
scroll• .
Carno---‘t-------t Always Spotlessly Attired.
No president of the French republic has
undertaken so many journeys up and down
France as M. Carnot'. Thanks to his scien-
tific training, the chief Of the state is able
to model all his trips On the same methodi-
cal plan and no hitches of any kind occur
during any of his tours. The trips are
carefully mapped out longbefore they begin,
nothing being left to whim or caprice. A
day is fixed for the departure, a special
train is prepared and the president starts
punctually at, the appointed time. His
travelling outfit is arranged on the same
simple and orderly plan. In two large
boxes are stowed away three dress suits,
eleven shirts, three cordons of tha legion,
four. pairs of varnished boots, and dozens of
socks, cravats, and white gloves, with two
buttone in .each of them. If his dress
clothes be even slightly damaged by dust or
rain the president changes at once without
delay, so that he is able to walk as spick
and ,span as if he had just come out of the
Elysee into a banquet or reception room
While travelling thee,president talks to his
entourage nearly all the time, never giving
himself up to a reverie or to reading. He
devotes himself altogether, in fact, to those
around him.
M. Grevy was less methodical but equal-
ly simple in his arrangements for his anneal
trip to Montsous-Vaudrey. Marshal Mac -
Mahan was also simplicity itself, his chief
preoccupation in travelling being his
gloves which were always spotlessly white.
M. Tillers invariably superintended his own
travelling arrangements, and never went
anywhere without his bed -a small military
one. On a recent occasion M. Carnet was
visiting a provincial town and attended a
'review at which everybody, himself includ-
ed, was drenched by a sudden ana furious
downpour of rain. The presidential car-
riage took him to the prefecture, where he
was staying, in a very bedraggled condi-
tion. 'Several hundred guests had been
asked to assemble at 4:30, to meet him, and
as it.was nearly twenty minute k past when
he drove up from the review everybody
expected to see him come in with limp col-
lar and spotted garments -like most of the
people present. But on the strike of 4:30
the little president strutted in, immaculate
as if he just stepped cut of a bandbox. His
valet had prepared one of the reserve suits
and long habit has enabled the president
to dress in ten minutes, decorations and all.

Unspoken Opinions.
The Mast triiring feee in connection with
every form of eiociel ditheneaty is that no-
body is dicsived after all. It is customary
to say that no two Itenien souls can really
unden tend each ether, but for all practieel
puepoees they understrind each other very
well idlead. Anv women of . ordinary
intution could, if 11 choice write out the
unspoken opinions of all her friencli concern•
iug herself, end come amaziegly pear the
truth. ., The things we leave ursa,id are
nover unfelt by those abeet us: They per-
meate our personal atincopheee, and convict
our lips of honeyed Hee at the moment of
utterance. The woman who makes you ill
at .f see is the'woinan who surrounds, hereelf,
as with a flue mist, . in an atmnrphere tec
petty criticism, micrracepic etandardo and'

smiles and spceeees when 3 oe feel her true
