BRooKLYN , June 4. -The -sermon
lected by -Rev. Dr. Talmage for this fore-
noon it founded on the text. Judges 3,
15: "But when the children of ISrael
cried unto the Lord, the Lord raised
them up a deliverer, Mind, the son of
Gera, a*Benjarnite, a man left-handed."
Ehud was. a ritler in Israel. He was
left-handed and. what was peculiar
. about the tribe of Benjamin, to which he
belonged. there were in it seven hundred
left-handed men, and yet, so dexterous
had they all become in the use oh the
left hand that the Bible says they could
miss.
.gstones at -a hair's breadthandnot
. Well, there was a •king by the name of
Eglon. who was an oppressor lof Istael.
He imposed upon them a moat mitt -ge-
ous tax. Ehud, the man of whom I rst
spoke. had a divine commission t de-
stroy that oppressor. He came, pre tid-
ing that he was going to pay the ax,
and asked to see King Egion. He vas
told he Was .in the summer house, 1the
place to which .the king retired -wh» it
was too hot tin sit in the palace. his
sunimer house was a place surrouiided
by flowers, and trees, and sprin ing
fountains, and warbling birds. Ihud
entered the summer house, and said to
King Eglon that he had a eecret ei and
with him. Immediately all the at endt
ants were waved out -of the royal res-
ence. King Eglon rises Up to receiv the
messenger. Ehiid, the left-handed 1 an,
put his left hand to 'his right side. tills
out a dagger, and thrusts Eglon thr Ugh
until the haft "went in after the b-ade
Eglon 'falls. • Ehud 'conies forth to No*
a trumpet of recruit amidst the monn
tains of Ephraim; .and a great hest i
marshalled, and proud Moab submi ii- to
the conqueror e and Israel is free. So.
0 Lord, let all 'thy enemies perish 1 $o,
0 Lord, let all thy friends triumph.
I learn first ',from- this - subject the
power of left-handed men. There axe
some- men whoShy physical organiz idn,
have as much strength in their left land
as in their right. but there . is some shing
in -the writing of thistext Which it plies
that Ehud had some defect in his eght
hand which convenedhim to use the
left. 011, the power of left-handed en!
Genius is often stlf-observant, care ul Of
itself, not given to much toil, burning
incense to its own aggrandizement;
while many a man with no natural en-
dowments, actually defective in, physical
and Mental organization, has an eahnest
ness for; the right, a patient industrY a.n
all- consuming perseverence, which
achieve- marvels for the kingdom ' Of
Christ. Though, left-handed as Ehucl
they can strike down a sin as great and
iinperial as Eglon.:
I have seen men1.of wealth gathering
about them all their treasures, snuffing
at the cause of • the world lying
wickedness, roughly ordering Lazarut
off their doorstep, sending their .dosts,not
to lick his sores, but to hound him of
their premises ; catching all the pure
rain of God's blessing into the stagnant
ropy, frog -inhabited pool of their own
selfltltDess-right-handed men, worse
than useless -while many a man, with a
large heart and a little pulse, has out of
his iimited Means, made poverty leap
for joy, and startedan. influence that
overspans the grave, and will mil*
round and found the throne of God,
world withoat end ; Amen.
Ah me. it is high time :that you left-
handed men,- who have been longing fot
.this gift, and that eloquence, and the
other man's wealtlashould take your left
hand out of your- pockets. Who Made
all these railroads? Who set up a»
these _cities ? Who started all these
churches, and schools, and asyluths
Who has done the tugging, the running
and pulling? Men of no wonderful ent
dowments, thousands of them acknow
ledging themselves to be left-handed and
yet they were earnest,and yet they
were determined, and yet they were
triumphant.
But. I do not suppose that 'Ehud, the
first time he -took a sling in his left hand,.
could throw a stone a hair's breadth,
and not rni8s. I suppose it was practice
that gave him the wonderful' dexteiitth
Go forth to your spheres of duty, and be
not discouraged if, in your first attempts,
you miss the: tnark, Ehud missed it.

There was an oculist performing a very
difficult operation on. the human eye. A
young doctor stood by and said: "I -low

old oculist, "it is very easy now, but 'I

When Garibaldi • was going out to bat-
tle lie told his treops what he want td
them to do, and after he had described
what he wanted them to do, they said :
"Well, general, what are you going to

•'I don't kuow what else you will get,
but you will get hunger; and cold, and

for a little while in silence, and- -then
they threw up their hands and cried :

The Lord Jesus Christ calls you to His

tnat there is a safe place somewhere tar
above, not knowing that the mountain
of fame has a top like Mont Blanc, cover-
ed with perpetual snow.
We langli at the children of Shinar
for trying to build a tower that could
reach to the heavens; but I think,
if our 'eyesight were only good
enough, we could see a Babel
in . many a door -yard. Oh, the
struggle is fierce! It is store against
store, house against house, 'street against
street, nation against nation. The goal
for which men are running is chairs and
chandeliers, and mirrors, and houses,
and lands, and presidential equipments.
If they get what they anticipate, what
havethey got? Men are not safe froin
calumny while they live,and, worse
than that, they are not safe after they
are dead ; --for I have seen swine root up
graveyards. One day a man goes uo
into publicity, and the world does him
honor. and people climb up into syca-
more trees to watch him as he passes
and as he goes along on the shoulders oi
the people, there is a waving of hats and
a wild huzza. To -morrow the same man
is caught between the jaws of the print-
ing press and mangled and bruised, and
the very same persons who applauded
him before cry, "Down with the trai-
tor! down with him !"
_Belshazzar sits at the feast, the mighty
men -of Babylon sitting all around him.
Wit sparkles like the wine, and the wine
like the wit. Music rolls up among the
chandeliers, the chandeliers tflash down
on the decanters. The breath of hang-
ing gardens floats in on the night air, the
the voice of revelry floats out. Amidst
wreaths, and tapestry, and folded ban-
ners, a finger writes. The march of a
hoet is heard on the stairs. Laughter
catches in the throat. A thousand hearts
stop beating. The blow is struck. The
blood on the floor is richer -hued .than
the wine on the table. The kingdom has
departed. Belshazzar was no worse,
perhaps, than hundreds of people in
Babylon, but his position slew bum. Oh,
be content with just such a position as
God has placed you in. It may not be said
of us, "He- was a great general," or "He
was an honored chieftain," or "He was
mightY in worldly attainment," but this
thing may be said of you and me, "He
was a good citizen, a faithful Christian,
a friend of Jesus." And that in the last
day will be the highest of all eulogiums.
I learn further from this subject that
death comes to the suanner-house.
Belon did not expect to die in that tine
place. Amidst all the flower -leaves
that drifted like summer snow into the
window; in the tinkle and the dash of
She fountains; in the sound of a thou-
sand leaves fluttering on one tree branch;
in the cool breeze that came up to shake
feverish trouble out of the king's locks -
there was nothing that spake of death,
but, there he died! In the winter when
the snow is a shroud, and when the
wind is a dirge, it is easy to think of our
. mortality ; but when the weather is
pleasant, and all our surroundings are
agreeable, how difficult it is ler us to
appreciate the truth that we are mortal !
And yet my text teaches that death does
sometimes cotne to the summer -house.
He is blind and cannot see the leayes.
He is deaf and cannot hear the foun-
tains. Oh, if death would ask us for
victims, we could point him to
hundreds of people who would re-
joice to have him come. Pusli
back the door of that hovel. Look
at that little child-aceld, and sick, and
hungry. It has never heard the name of
God hut in blasphemy. Parents intoxi-
cated, staggering around its straw bed.
Oh. death, there is a mark for thee! Up
witleit into the light! Before these little
feet -Stumble on life's pathway, give them
rest.
Here is an aged man. He has done
his work. He hath done it gloriously.
The companions of his youth are all
gone, his children dead, he- longs to be
at rest, and wearily the days and the
'nig--hts pass. He says, "Come, Lord
Jesus. come quickly." Oh, Death. there
is a mark for the! Take frotn him the
staff, and give him the sceptre! Up
witli. him into the light, where eyes
never grow dim, and the air whitens not
through the long years of eternity. Ah,
Death will not do that. Death turns
back from the straw bed, and from the
aged man reedy for the skies, and comes
to the summer -house. What closet thou
here tliou bony, ghastly monster, amidst
this waving grass, and under this sun-
light sifting through the tree branches?
Children are at play. How quickly their
feet g�, and their locks toss in the wind.
Father and mother stand at the side of the
room looking on, enjoying their glee. It
does not seem possible that the wolf
should' ever break into that fold and
carry off a lamb. Meanwhile an old
archer stands looking through the
thicket. He points his arrow at the
brightness of the group -he is a sure
marksman -the bow bends, the arrow
speeds! Hush now 1 The cmick feet
have stopped, and the locks toss DO more
in the wind. Laughter has gone out of
She ball. Death in the summer -house.
Here is a father in mid-life; his coming
home at night, is the signal for mirth.
The children rush to the door, and there
are books on the evening stand, aid the
hours pass away on glad feet. Thee is
nothing wanting in that home. Religion
is there, and sacrifices on the alter morn-
ing and night. You look in that house-
hold and say, "I cannot think of any-
thing happier. I do not really believe
the world is so sad a place as some
people describe it to be." The scene
changes. Father is sick. The doors
must be kept shut. The death-watch
chirps doletully on the hearth. The
children whisper, and walk softly where
once they rompeCi. Passing the house
late at night, you see the quick glancing
of lights from room to room. It is all
over. Death in the summer -house !
Here is an aged mother -aged, but not
infirm. You think you will have the
joy of caring for her wants a good while
yet. As she -goes from house to house,
to children aud grandchildren, her com-
ing is a dropping of sunlight in the
dwelling, Your children see her coming
through the lane they cry, "Grand-
mother's come!" Care for you has
marked Up her face with many a deep
wrinkle and her back stoops with carry-
ing your burdens. Some day she is very
quiet. She says she is not sick, but
something tells you you will not much
longer have mother. She will sit with
you no more at the table, nor at the
'wattle Her soul goes out so gently,
you do not exactly know the moment of
ts going. .Fold the hands that have
()he so many kindnesses for you right
)ver the heart that has beat with love
o ward you since before you were born.
Let the pilgrim rest. She is weary.

Gather about us what we think is com-
fort- and luxury, when the pale mes-
senger conies; he does not stop to look at
the architecture of the house before he
comes in; nor, entering, does he wait to
examine the pictures we have gathered
on the e all; or, bending over your pil-
low, he does not stop to see whether
there is color in the cheek. or gentleness
its the eye, or intelligence in the brow.
But what of that? Must we stand forever
mourning among the graves of our dead?
No! No! The people in Bengal bring
cages of birds to the graves of their dead,
and then they open the cages and the
birds go singing heavenward. So I
would bring to the graves of your dead
all bright thoughts and cone-raw-
iations, and bid them think of vic-
tory and redemption. I stamp on the
bottom of the grave,and it breaksthrough
into the light and glory of heaven.
.The ancients used to think that the
straits (uttering the Red Sea were - very
dangerous plates. and they supposed
that every ship that went through those
straits would be destrch ed, and they
were in the habit of putting on weeds of
mourning for those who had gone on
that voyage, 1LS diough they were actual-
ly dead. Do you know what they callcd
those straits? They. called them the
"Gate of Tears." Oh, I stand to -day at
the gate of tears through which many of
your loved ones have gone, and I want
to tell you all are not shipwrecked that
have gone through those straits into the
great ocean stretching out beyond. The

track of His feet we might all follow and

There was a gentleman in the rail -car
who saw in that same car three passen-
gers 4d very different circuinstances.
The first was a maniac. He was care-
fully guarded by his attendants; his
mind, like a mine (»swathed. was beating
agit hist a dark, desolate coasa from
which no help could come. The train
stopped and the man was taken out
into the asylum to waste away, per-
haps through years of gloom. The
seeend pa: s-enger was a culprit. The
outraged law had seized on him. As the
cars jolted, the chains rattled. On his
face were crime, depravity and despair.
The train halted, and he was taken out
to the penitentiary, to which he had
been condemned. There was a third
passenger, under far different circum-
stances. :She was a bride. Every hour
was as gay as a nuirriage-bell. Life
glittered aud beckoned. Her companion
was taking her to his father's house.
The tiain halted. The old man was ;
there to WVIC01119 her to her new home-,
and his white louks snowed d -own upon
her as he sealed his word with a father's
kiss.
Quickly we fly toward eteraity. We
will soon be there. Some leav-e this life
condeinued culprits. They refused a
pardon, they carry their chains. Oh,
may it be with us, that, lea.viug this
fleeting life for the next, we may find
our Father ready to greet us to our new
home w ith lam forever. That will be a
marriage banquet! Father's welcome!
Fathers bosom! Father's kiss! Heaven!

Horses Fond of wo nen.
Not long ag-o a muscul• r 200 -pound
MUD, Willi his wile besid him, was
driv ing a fast, ln.;.;11 spirited[ horse hats-
nessed to a light .,wagon. The horse
pulled very hard, and at last, tired out,
the driver handed over the reins to his
companion, saynig: "Hold on to this
beast for a minute if you possibly can, so
that I may rest my arms.' Accordingly
the woman took the teins and no sooner
had she done so than the horse stopped'
pulling, slackened his pace and hecame
calm and obedient. But when the man
resumed control the animal immediately
began to pull and to tight against the bit
as bard as ever. A second tune the
woman took the horse in hand; as before,
he submitted at ouce, and under her
guidance he trotted gently along till
their destination was reache4.
Another ease that fell un er my ob-
servatiou is the following: A gentleman
who is a good shot and an e pert tennis
player, but who has no "f eulty" for
horses, drove out .with his caughter, a
delicate girl of fourteen. Th ir steed, a
very strong, mettlesome an ma!, soon
began to plunge and pull. Unable to
control him otherwise, the driver, in a •
molted of exasperation, struck the
horse with the whip, the result being
that he very nearly ran away. At this
She child began to cry, for she loved the
animal. and could not bear to see him
abused. "Here, take him, then," said her
father, handing her the reins- At once
She horse detected the new river, his
anger and fear began to subs de, and a
few soothing words from the irl--driver
completed the conquest. -Ladies' Home
