SINS OF THE TONGUE DR. TALMAGE PLEADS FOR HON. EST WORDS AND DEEDS. He Speaks of Agricultural, Commercial Mechanical ' and Ecclesiastical Lies -A. Plain Plea for Telling the rntit-The Masquerade Bali. [Copyright 1897, by American P ess Asseeia- tion.) Washington, Oot. 24. -Dr. altnage in this discourse gives a vivid ci ssification of the vices of speech and pleads for honesty in all that is said an done. His text is Acts v, 1-10, "A rtain man name Ananias, with Sapph his wife, sold a possession," eto. A well matched pair, alike n ambition andinfalsehood, Ananias an Sapphire. They wanted a reputation for great beneficence, and they sold all their prop- erty, pretending to put th entire pro- ceeds in the charity fund wh a they put much of tt in their own pots' et. There was no necessity that they gi e all their property away, but they wai4ted the re- putation of so doing. Anent 0 first lied about it and dropped down ' ead. Then Sapphire lied about it, and he dropped down dead. The two fatalitie a warning to all ages of thedanger of sacrificing the truth. There are thousands of we of telling a Ile. A man's whole life m be a false- hood, and yet never with his lips may he falsify once. There is a way of ,uttering falsehood by look, by manne , as well as by lip. There are persons o are guilty ot dishonesty of speech and then after- ward say "maybe," calling it a white Ile when no lie is that color. The Whitest Ile ever told was as blalok s perdition. There are those so given ti dishonesty of speech that they -do not know when they are lying. With some it is an ac- quired sin, and with oth rs it is a natural infirmity. There, are those whom yen will recognize ,as born tiara. Their whole life, from creidle to gr ve, is filled up with vice of speech. Isrepresenta- tion and prevarication are ai natural to then as the infantile disea s anct ara a sort of moral croup or sp itual scar- latina. Then there are those who in after life have opportunities of dev loping this evil, and they go from dem' tion to de- ception and from class to cla s, until they are regularly graduated liar. At times the air in our Olden is 1111e4 with false- hood, and lies cluster aroulld the me- chanic's hammer, blossom ern the mer- chant's yardstick and som times- sit in the doors of churches. Thejr are called -by some fabrication and they are called by some, fiction. You might call them subterfuge, or deceit, or I romance, or fable, or misrepresentation. pr delusion, but as I know nothing • to lbe gained by covering up a God defying in with lexi- cographer's blanket, I shall call them in plainest vernacular; lies. Whey may be • divided into agricultural, cumraercial, mechanical, sooial and eool siastioal. Agricultural False omits. . - First of all, I speak of agricultural falsehoods. There is som thing in tha presence of natural object e that has a tendency to make one pure! The trees never issue false stook. Thi wheat fields are always honest Rye a d oats never move out in the night, n t paying for the place they occupy. Cornl shocks never make false assignment. -Mo ntain brooks are always current. The gold of the wheattlelds is never counterfeit. But while the tendenoy of agrica ltural life is to make one honest, honest -is not the characteristic of all who conUe to the city markets from the country'striate. You hear the creaking of the di honest farm wagon in almost every stre u -of our great cities -a farm wagon in which there is from tongue to tailb ard. Again not one honest spoke, or el)one truthful rivet, and again has domestic economy in our great cities foundered on the farmer's firkin. When New York an Washington sit down and weep over t eir sins, let Westchester county and t e neighbor- hoods around this capital s t down and weep over theirs. The tendency in all rural. districts is to suppose that sins and transgressions cluster in our great cities, but citizens and merchants long ago learned that it is not safe to calculate from the character of the apples on the top of the farmer's barrel what is the character of the apples all the way down toward the hatom. • Many of our citizens and m rchants have learned that it is safe to se the farmer measure the barrel of beets.; Milk cans are not always honest. There are those who in country life seem to think they have a right to overreach grain dealers and merchants of all styles. They think it is more honorable to raise corn than to deal in corn. The producer sometimes praotically says to the merhhant, "You get your money easily anyh w." Does he got it easily? While the far er sleeps - and he naay go to sleep con °ions of the • .fact that his corn and rfe are all the - time progressing and adding to his for- tune or his livelihood -the merchant tries to sleep, while conscious of the fact that at that moment the ship. may be driving on the rook or a wave sweeping over the hurricane deck spoiling his goods, or the speculatore xnay be plotting a monetary revolution, or the burglars may be at that moment a his money safe, or the fire may have ki dled on the very block where his store stands. Easy, is it? Let those ho get their living in the quiet farm an the place of one of our ci and see whether it is so easy enough to have the hands bl outdoor work, but it is mental anxieties to have the sumed. God help the mere do not let those who live In come to the conclusion that honesties belong to city life. Commercial LICS. THE fen. erne aildigniliattlifilig thrtragirthe hall has in it the favor of God and the approval of man. And there are thou- sands and tem of' thousands of chants who from the first day they sold a yard of cloth or firkin of butter, have maintained their integrity. They were born honest, they will live honest and they will die honest. • But you and I know that there are in commeroial life those who are guilty or greattlishonesties of speech. A merchant says, "I am sell- ing these goods at less than cost." • Is he getting for those goo& a price inferior to that which be paid for them? Then he has spoken the truth, Is he getting • more? Then he lies. A merohant says, "I paid $25 for this article." Is that the price he padd for it? All right. But sup- pose he paid for it $28 instead of $25? Then he lime But there are just as many falsehoods before the counter as there are behind the counter. A customer comes in and asks, "How much is this article?" "It Is $5." "I can get, that for $4 some- where else." Can he get it for $4 some- where else or did he say that just for the purpose of getting it cheap by depreciat- ing the -value of the goods? If so, he lied. There are just as many falsehoods' before the counter as there are behind the counter. A man unrolls upon the oounter a bale of handkerchiefs. The customer says, "Are these all silk?" "Yes." "No cot- ton in them?" "No cotton in them." Are those handkerchiefs all silk? Then the merchant told the truth. Is there any cotton in them? Then he lied. Moreover, he defrauds himself, for this customer coming in will after awhile find out that he has been defrauded, tied the next time he comes to town and goes shopping he will look up at that sign and say. "No, I won't go there; that's the place where I got those handkerchiefs." First, the merchant insulted God, and, secondly, he picked his own pocket. Who would take the reponsibility of saying how many falsehood,s were yes- terday told by hardware men, and cloth- iers, and lumbermen, and tobacconists, and jewelers, and importers, and shippers, and dealers in furniture, and dealers in coal, and dealers in' groceries? Lies about buckles, about saddleabout harness, about shoes, about liats, about coats, about shovels, about tongs, abont forks, about chairs, about sofas'abont horses, about lands„ about everything. I arraign cominercialefalsehood as one of the -crying sins of our time. Mechanical Lies. I pass on to speak of mechanical false- hoods: Among the artisans are those upon whom we are dependent for the houses in which we live, the garments we wear, the cars in which we ride. The vast majority of them are, so far as I know them, men who speak the truth, and they are upright, and many of them are foremost hi great philanthropies and In churches, but that they all do not belong to that class every one knows. In times when there is a great demand for labor It is not so easy for such men to keep their obligations, because they may miscalculate -in regard to the weather or they may not be able to get the help they anticipated in • their enterprise. I am speaking now of those who promise to do that which they know they will not be able to do. They saye they will come on Monday. They do not come until Wednesday. They say they will come on Wednesday. They do not come- until Sat- urday. They say they will have the job done in ten days. They do not get it done before 80. And when a man be- comes iriltated and will not stand it any longer then they go to work for him a day or two and keep the job along, and then some one else gets irritated and outraged, and they go and work for that man and get him pacified, an then they go somewhere else. I believe they call that "nursing the job." Ah, my friends, how much dishonor such men would save their souls if them would promise to do ' only that which they know they can do! "Oh," they say, "it's of no importance. Everybody expects to be deceived and disappointed." There is a voice of thunder soUnding among the saws and the hammers and the shears, saying, "Ail liars shall have their place in the lake that burns with fire and brimstone." I pass on to speak of social lies. How much of society Is insincere? You hardly know what to believe. They send their regards. You do not exactly know whether it is an expression of the heart or an external oivility. They ask you to come to their house. You hardly know whether they really want you to come. We are all accustomed to take a discount off what we hear. "Not at home" very often means too lazy to dress. I was reading of a -lady who said she had told her fashionable lie. There was a knock at her door, and she sent down word, "Not at home." That night her husband maid to her, "Mrs. So-and-so is dead." "Is it possible!" she said. "Yes, and she died in great anguish of mind. She ; wanted to see you so very much; she had something very important to disoloee to you in her last hour, and she sent three times to -day, but found you absent every time." Then this woman bethought herself that she had had a bargain with her neighbor that when the long pro- tracted siokness was about to oome to an end she would aPpear at her bedside and take the secret that was to be dis- closed. And she had said she was "not at home." Social life is struck through with in- sincerity. They apologize for the fact that the furnace Is out; they have not had any fire in it all winter. They apolo- gize for the fare on their table; they never live any better. They decry their most luxuriant entertainment to win a shower of approval from yon. They point at a picture on the wall as a work of one cf the old masters. They say it is an heirloom in the fanilly. It hung on the wall of a castle. A duke gave it to their grandfather People that will lie about nothing else will lie about a picture. On small•income we want the world to be- lieve we are affluent, and society to -day is'struck through with cheat and coun- terfeit and sham. How few people are natural! Frigidity sails around, iceberg grinding against iceberg. You must not laugh outright. That is vialgar. You must smile. Yott must not dash quickly across the room. That is vulgar. You must glide. Much of seoiety is a round of bows and grins and gmaoes and oh's and ah's and he, he, he's and siroper- ings and naraby panabyism, a whole • world of which is not worth one good honest round of laughter. From such a hollovr scene the taktured guest retires at the close of the evening, assuring the host that he has enjoyed himself. Society Is become so contorted and deformed in this respect that a naountain cabin whore the rustics gather at a- quilting or an apple paring has in it more good cheer than all the frescoed refrigeretors of the metropolis. barn take merchants It is hard stered with arder with brain cem- ents. And country life all the -dis- 1 pass on to consider comMercial lies. There are those who apologize for devia- tions from the right and ,for praatical deception by saying it isl commercial custom. In other words. a ile by multi- plication becomes a virtue. There are large fortunes gathered in w ich there is not one drop of the sweat of unrequited toil, and not one spark o bad temper flashes from the bronze h acket, and there is not one drop of ne dlewoman's heart's blood on the orion plush, while there are other fortunes about which it may be said that o4 every door knob and on every figure o the carpet and on every wall there is the mark of dishonor. What if the ha*d wrung by toil and blistered until tboj skin comes off should be placed on tlhe exquielite wall paper, leaving its mark of blood - four fingers and a thumb? Or if in the nigiet the man should be aroused from his slumber again and again' by his ewn conscience, getting himself up on elbow and crying out into the3 dar Is there?' There are large fortunes God's favor comes down, an as honest and just as Ch affluent as it is to be poor. house there is a blessing o tured wall and on every every traceried window, and flashes in the lights and tha the musio and. _that dances ess, "Who upon which it is just istian to be In many a every plc- oroll and on the joy that showers in 11 theditgek Ecclesiastical Lies. I pass on to speak ot ecclesiastical lies, I those which are told for the advance- ment or retarding of a church or sect.

All Looking for Mail. With his heavy bag ashoulder, pulling him a little, Out of the perpendicular, the postman was making his morning rounds. Beads of perspiration stole slow- ly from under his ;helmet and rolled. down his ;cheeks, for the sun was be- ginning one of the hottest days- of the ,seasOn, with a temperature of 90 and no breeze astir. But the postman did not seem to mindit numb. He trudged on, whistling "A Hot Time" as pleasantly -as it everythilfg were to his liking. "Is there any midi for me?" asked a young lady of twenty summers who had seen him corning and bad run out to meet him. ",Afraid have to disappoint you this time," replied the carrier, but there was a twinkle in his eye and a moment later he handed her a letter, directed in a masauline hand. "Oh; thank you," she said, blushed a little and dashed batik into the house. The postman went on. and who have to the oriticisrao young. ''Have yet th t you turn never was. a man who believed that, There never will be a man who will be- lieve that. And yet from boyhood I have heard that particular . slander against a Christian church egoing down through the community. Then, how often- it is that there are misrepresentations on the part of indi- vidual churches in regard to other churches, especially if a church- comes' to great prosperity. As long as a church is in poverty, and the singing is poor, and all the surroundiage are decrepit, an d the congregation are so hardly be - stead in life that their. Pastor' goes with elbows out, then there will always be Christian people in Churches who say, "What a pity; what a pity I" But let the day cf prosperity come to a Christian church and lot the music be triumphant, and let *there be vast assemblages, and then there will be even ministers of the gospel °Mace' and denunciatory and full of misrepresentation and falsification, giving the impression to the outside world that they do not like the corn ; because it is not ground in their mill. Oh, my friends, let us in all departments of life stand back from deception. But some one says, "The deception that I prabtice IS so small that it doesn't amount to anything." Ala; my friends, it does amount to a great deal. You say, "When I deceive, it ii only about a a well-dressed, apparently wealthy busi- • case of needles ora box of buttons or a row of pins." But the article may be so. small you can put it in your vest pocket, but the sin is as big as the pyramids, and the -echo of your dishonor will reverberate through the mountains of eternity. There is no -such thing as a small sin. They, are all vast and stupend- ous,-becaue uhey will all have to come undr inspection in the day of. judgment. You may boast yourself of having Made a fine bargain -a sharp bargain. You may carry out what the Bible says in regard to .that man who went in to make a purchase and depreciated the value of the goods, and thenafter he had got away boasted -of the splendid bargain he had made. "It is naught, it is naught, eaith the buyer, but: when he is gone his way then he boasteth. ' It may seem to the world a sharp bargain, but She recording angel wrote down in the ponderous tomes ot eternity, "Mr. So- and-so, doing, business on Pennsylvania avenue or Broadway or Chestnut street or State street, told one lie." "Got anything for our house?" queried Speak the Truth. May God extirpate from society all the ecclesiastical lies, and all the social lies, and all the mechanical lies, and all the commercial lies., and make every man to speak the truth of his -neighbor. My • friends, let us make our life correspond to What we:are. Let us banish all de- ception from our behavior. Let us re- member that the time ()eines when God will demonstrated before an assembled universe just what we are. The enoret will come out. We may hide it while we live but we oannothide it when we die. To may life is a masquerade tall. As at such entertainment gentlemen and ladies appear in. garb of kings or queens -or mountain bandits or clowns and then at the close of the dance put off their disguise, so many all through life are in meek. The masquerade ball goes on and gemmed hand clasps gemmed hand, and dancing feet respond to dancing feet, and. gleaming brow bends to gleaming brow, and the masquerade ball goes bravely on. But after awhile languor comes and blurs the sight. Lights lower. Floor hollow with sepulchral echo. Music saddens' into a wail. Lights lower. Nowthe masquerade is hardly seen. The fragrance is exchanged for the sickening odor of garlands that have lain a long while in!the damp of sepulchers. Lights lower. Mists fill the room. The scarf drops from the shoulder of beauty, a shroud. Lights lower. Torn leaves and withered' garlands now hardly cover up the ulcered feet. Stench of lamp wicks almost quenched. Choking dampness. Chilliness. Feet still. Rands faded. Eyes shut. Voice husbed. Lights out. When Ono Can Work Best. I At what hour of the day is a man at his strongest, and so fitted to do hard work with the least weariness? Probably the answer occurring at once to, most persons would be, "When he gets up in the morning." This is by no means the case; on the contrary,' according to ex- periments of lir. Duch with the dyna- mometer, a man hi precisely at his weak- est when he turns out of bed. Our mus- cular force is greatly increased by break- fast, but it attains to its 'highest point after the midday meal. It then sinks for a few hours, rises again towards even- ing, but steadily declines from night till morning. The two chief foes of muscular - force, according to Dr. Buoh, are over- work and idleness. Sweating at work deteriorates the muscles. Many of the great workers of the world have been early risers. But early rising, according to Buch's dootrires, ought always to be supplemented by early breakfasting. - London Star. - Easily Explained. "I wonder why they call the' expenses of a church the running expenses" said Mrs. Martin.

How Younger Persons May Take an In- tereat in Their Old Parents. I Can conceive of few' sadder things in old age than being without younger per- sons who love us enough t� correct us, says a writer in Harper's Bazar. Yes! correct us; neither naore note less than that; not rudely, of course, nor imper- tinently, nor in a nagging, disrespectful way, as disagreeable in the manner of the mother to the child as- of the child to the mother; but who will correct us In a way which, violating no law of good breeding or courtesy, can yet keep us up to our own best mark. For the tendency of many of us, when 70 is reached, is to let ourselves go to pieces. We can call it resting on our oars or describe it with as picturesque a set of symbols as we choose. , But for all that, a man or woman comes to one of the great critical periods of life about the time that age is reached. They can then either sink under existing condi- tions, let every encroachment of age have its way, excusing themselves on the plea of years for every failure to meet them gracefully, or they can readjut themselves t,o the changes years hae wrought, and with _renewed spirit go- on, still young and still attractive be- cause still growing and still alive. And itertainIL the...most, adorable old - ness man who was just corning dOwn the front walk, I Not much to -day,:' and the postman handed out a, bunch of four or five paners and magazines and half a dozen other pieces of mail. ' "Here you go, Mary," eaid the busi- ness man to his wife, who was coming down the walk to see what mail there was. "There are three or four more in- vitations and another letter from that confounded aunt of yours. Wonder what she wants this time. Don't go in too heavy on wedding presents." He saunt- ered down towards the line of street oars. The postman had gone on, still whistl- ing "A Het Time." .At a little cottage he stopped and pulled the bell. An qld man answered the call and took the preffered paper, but his oyes met the postman's in a look of inquiry mingled wtth unmistakable disappointment. "Is there no letter?" he said. "'That's all to -day," answered the other cheerily. As the old man started to close the do r he °mild be heard to mutter: "No letter! Ah, my poor Jeannie." The postman went on, but did not whistle. The same thing had happened every day for a year. Rough on Pat. Two Irish soldiers stationed in the, West Indies were acoustoraed: to bathe daily in a little bay whioh was generally supposed to be free from sharks Though on; good terms with each other, they were not what might be called fast friends. - - One day, as they were -swimming a but 100 yards from shore, Pat observed Mick suddenly making for the land as hard as he ;could without .eaying a word. Wondering what was the matter, Pat struck' out vigorously after him and landed at his companion's heels. "Is there anything wrong wid ye?" inquired Pat feelingly. ''Nothin-nothin at, all," replied the other. "Thin what did ye make such a sud- den retrate for an lave me?" continued Pat. "Boded," answered Mick coolly, "I spied the fin av a big shark about 20 feet ahead and I thought while he was play - in wid you it wud give me time to reach the shore," It is not to be wondered at that Pat declined to bathe with Mick any more. - London Tit -Bits. The Bazin Boat Failure. The Bazin roller boat, which it was promised would do each wonderful things in the way of speed, has now been put through its trials, and, as is now generally known, has been found want- ing, is a lamentable failure and furn- ishes yet ahother instance of the enthu- siasm of an inventor seeking to override the ascertained possibilities of mechani- cal effort. Instead of a speed of 20 knots, as anticipated, only eight knots has been attained, and this notwithstanding that the power exerted was very considerably in Eames of that anticipated in the original designing of the engines. M. Bazin, in addition to having to suffer the agonies of defeat and to put up with the jeers and taunts of many of his countrymen, has now also to meet the charge of plagiarism, several French contempor- aries having pointed out that his scheme was anticipated, although there were slight differences in actual designof the "rollers" and the method- of propelling them. -Industries and Iron. • . -There was a. heavy fall of snow on Fri- day morning 155h October, over the West- moreland hills.

Its cause is found in want of sufficitht food, dyspepsia, lack of xercise or breathing impure air. With it is a natural repugnance to all fat roods. cott's Emulsion is an easy food to get fat from and the easiest way of taking fat.
