1,Worid at Large.—What She Can De.
BROOKLYN, Aug 20.—Rev. Dr. Tal-
mage chose for his subject to -day one of
special interest to the gentler sex, the
announced topic being "A Great Wo-
man," and the text H. Kings: 4, 8, t'And
it fell on a day that Elislia passed to
Shunem, wkeee was a great woman."
The hotel of our time had no counter-
part in any entertainment of olden time.
The vast majority of travelers must then
be entertained at private abode. Here
comes Elisha, a servant of the Lord, on
a divine [emission, and he must find
shelter. A tilticony overlooking the val-
ley of Esdraelon is offered him, in a pri-
vate house, and is is especially furnished
for his occupancy -e -a chair tosit on, a
table from which to read, and a bed on
which to slumber, the whole establish-
ment belonging to a great and good
woman.
„Her husband, it seqms, was a godly
man, but he was entirely overshadowed
by his wife's excellencies; just aa now
you sometimes ifind in. a household the
wife the center of dignity and influence
and power, not by any arrogance or pre-
sumption, but by •superior intellect and
force of moral nature wielding domestic
'affairs, and at the same time supervising
all financial and business affairs. The
wife's hand on the shuttle, on the bank-
ing house, on the worldly business. You
see hundreds of men who are successful
only because there is a reason at home
why they are successful..
If a man marry a good, ionest soul, he
makes his fortune. If he marry a fool,
the Lord help him! The wife may be
the silent partner in the firm, there may
be only masculine voices down on Ex-
change, but there oftentimes comes from
the home circle a potential and elevating
influence.
This woman of my text was the super-
ior of her husband. He, as far as I can
understand, was what we often see in
our day, a man of large fortune and only
a rnedicum of brain, intensely quiet, sit-
ting a long time in the same place with-
out moving hand or foot—if you say
" yes," , responding " yes "--if you say
"no," 'responding " no "--:inaue, eyes
half shut; mouth wide open, maintain-
ing his position in society only .because
he has a large patrimony. 'But his wife,
mv text says; was a great woman.

Yes, she was a great won an.
In the first place,she was great in her
-hospitalities. Uncivilized and barbarous
nations honor this virtue. Jupiter had
the surname of, the Hospitable, and he
was said especially -to avenge the wrOn,gs
of strangers. Horner extolled it in his
verse. The Arabs :are Punctilious upen
this subject. and among some of their
tribes it is not. until the ninth day of
tarrying thatthe- occupant has a right

that looks out week by week upon the

although you have nothing but the
brazen candlestick and the plain chair

Most beautiful is this grace of hospi-

A. stranger would stand in the vestibule

Again, this woman in my text was
great in her kindness toward God's mes-
senger. Elisha may have been a stranger
in that household, but as she found out
he had come on a divine mission, he was
cordially welcomed. We have a great
many books in our day about the hard-
ships of ministers and the trials of
Christian ministers. I wish somebody
would write a book about the joys of
the Christian minister, about the sym-
pathies all around him, about the kind-
nesses, about the genial considerations
of him. Does sorrow come to our home
and is there a shadow on the cradle,
there are hundreds of hands to he'sp, and
many wbo weary not through long
night watching,and hundreds of prayers
• going up that God would restore the
sick. Is there a burning, brimming cup
of calamity placed on the pastor's table,
are there not many to help him drink of
that cup and who will not be comfort-
ed because he is strieken ? Oh, for
somebody to write a book about the
rewards of the Christian ministry—
about his surroundings of Christian sym-
pathy.
This woman of the text was Only a.
type of thousands of men and women
who come down from the mansion and
from the cot to do kindness to the Lord's
Servants. I suppose the men of Shunem
had to pay the bills,but it was the large -
hearted Christian sympathies of the wo-
men of Shunem that looked after the
Lord's- messengers. ,
Again, this woman in the text was
great in her behavior under trouble.
Her only son had died on her lap. A
very bright light went out in that house-
hold. The sacred writer puts it very
tersely when he says: "He sat on her
knees until noon and then he died," Yet
the writer goes on to say that she ex-
claimed : "It is well 1" Great in pros-
perity, this woman was great in trouble.
Where are the feet that have not been
blistered on the hot sands of this great
Sahara? Where are the shoulders that
have not been bent under the burden of
grief? Where is the ship sailing over
glassy sea that has not after a while
been caught in a cyclone? Where is
the garden of earthly comfort, but trou-
ble hath hitched up its fiery and panting
team and, gone through it, with burning
ploughshare of disaster? Under the
pelting of ages of suffering the great
heart of the world has burst with Woe.
Navigators tell ns about the rivers,
and the Amazon and the Danube and the
Mississippi have been explored, _but who
can tell the depth or length of the great
river of sorrow made up of tears and
blood rolling through all lands and all
ages, and bearing the wreck of fathilies -
and of communities and of empires—
foatning, writhing, boiling with the
agonies of six thousand years! eiEtna
and Cotopaxi and Vesuvius have been.
described, but who has ever sketched
the volcano of suffering retelling up from
its depths the lava and the scoria and
pouring them down the sides to whelm
the nations! Oli, if I could gather all
the heartstrings, the broken heartstrings
into a harp I would play on it a dirge
such as was never sounded.
Mythologists tell us of Gorgon and
Centaur and Titan, and ge,ologists tell
us of extinct, species of monsters; but
greater than Gorgon or Megatherium,
and not belonging to the realm of fable,
and not of an extinct species is a mon-
ster with iron jaw and iron hoofs walk-
ing -across the nations, and history and
poetry and -sculpture, in their attempt
to sketch it and describe it, have seemed
to sweat great drops of blood,
But, thank God, there are those whO
can conquer as this wonian of the text
conquered, and say, "It is well! though
my property be gone, though my child-
ren be gone, though my home be broken
up. though my health be sacrificed, it is
well—it is wed !" There is no storm on
the sea, but Christ is ready to rise in the
hinder part of the ship and hush it.
There is no darkness but the constella-
tions of God's eternal love can
it, and though the winter conies out of
the northern sky, you have sometimes
seen the northern sky all ablaze with
auroras that seem to say: "Come up
this way; up this way are throngs of
light and sens of sapphire, and_ the
splendor of an eternal heaven. Come
up this Way."
We may, like the ships, hy tempests be tossed
On perilous deeps, bnt cannot be lost ;
Though Satan enrage, the wind and the tide
The promise assures us, the Lord will provide. •
I heard an echo of my text ina vers;
dark hour, when my father Lay dying,
and the old country minister saia to him:
"Mr. Taltnage, how do you feel now, as
you are about to pass the Jordan of
death?" He replied—and it was the last
thing he ever said: "I feel well; I feel
very well; all is well"—lifting his hand
in a, benediction, a speechless benedic-
tion,' which I pray. Geel may go down
through all the generations. It was welll
of my text was
OfAcgoauii;i7 tiht'as well.i
great in her application to domestic du-
ties. Every picture is a home picture,
whether she is giving careful attention
to her sick boy, or whether she is appeal-
ing for the restoration of her property—
every picture in her case is a home pic-
ture.. Those are not disciples of the Shu-
nemite woman, who, going out to attend
to outside charities, neglect the duty of
home—the dutyeof wife, of mother, of
daughter. No faithfulness in publ ic bene-
faction can ever atone for domestic negli-
gence.
There has been many a mother who by
indefatigable toil has reared a large
family of children, equipping them for
the duties of life with good manners and
large intelligence and Christian prin-
ciple, starting them out, who has done
more for the -world than many another
woman Whose • name has sounded
through all the lands and through all
centuries.
I remember when Kossuth was in this
country there were some ladies who got
reputation, honorable reputation, by
presetting him very gracefully with
bouquets of flowers on public occasions;
but what was all that compared with the
work of the plain Hungarian mother
who gave to truth and civilization aad
the cause of universal liberty, a Kossuth?
Yes, this woman of my text was great in
her simplicity.
When this prophet wanted to reward
her for her hospitality by .asking some
preferment from the king. what did she
say? She declined it. She. said : "I
dwell amonF.,,- my own people," a,4
as to say, "I am satisfied with my lot: all
I. want is my fatally and nay i friends
around me. I dwell among rity• own
people." Oh, what a rebuke to the strife
for precedence in all ages. •
How many there are who want to get
great architecture, and homes furnished
with all art, all painting, • all statuary,
who have not enough taste to distinguish
between Goalie and Byzantine, and who
could not tell a figure in plesterof palls
from Palmer's "White Captive," and
would not know a boy's pencilith: from
Bierstadt's "Yosemite," Men w 11)
large libraries by the square foot, 1
these libraries when they have hardly
enough education to pick out the day of
the almanac! Oh, how many 'there are
striving to have things as well as their
rueigimorS, or meter tram their netgnoors
and in the struggle vast fortunes are ex-
litutsted and business -firms _ thrown into
bankruptcy, and men of reputed honesty
rush into astounding forgenes.
Of course, I say nothing against re-
finetnent or culture. Splendor of abode,
sumptuousness of diet, - lavislin,ss 11.1
art, neatness in apparel—there is nothing
atralast them in the Bible or ont of the
-Bible. God does not want us t prefer
• mud hovel to English cottage, or tuitan-
ned Sheepskin to Frenchbroadcloth, or
husks to pineapple, or the clumsiness of
a boor to the manners of a gentleman.
God,: who strung the beach withtinted
shell, and the grass of the field
with' the dews of the night, and
hath . exquisitely tinged • morning
cloud and robin e red breast,' wants
us to keep our eye sePen to all beautiful
sights, and our ear open to all beautiful
cadences, and our heart open to all
elevating .sentiments. But what I want
to hapless upon you is that you ought
not to inventory the luxuries of life as
=ow, the indispeasables, and you ought
not to depreciate this woman of the
text,who. when offered kingly :prefer-
ment, responded, "I dwell among my
own people..."
Yea, this woman of .the text was great
in her piety. -Faith in God, and she was
not ashamed to talk about it before idol-
ators. All, woman will never appreciate
what she owes to Christianity until she
knows and sees the degradation of her
.sex: under Paganism and Mohammedan-
ism, "- Her very oirth considered a miss
fortune.
Sold like cattle in the sham-
bles. Slave Of all work, and at last, her
body fuel for the funeral pyre of her
husband. Abavethe shriek of tho".
fire worshippers in India and above
the rumbling of the juggernauts, I
hear the million -voiced groan of ' wrong-
ed, insulted, broken-hearted, down -trod-
den woman. Her tears have fallen in
the Nile and Tigris and the La Plata
and on the steppes of Tartarye • She has
been dishonored in Turkish garden, and
Persian palace, • and Spanish Alhambra.
Her little ones have heensacrificed- in the
Gangee. There is not a groan, or a dun-
geon; dr an island, or a -mountain., or a
river, or a lake, or a sea but could tell a
story of the outrages henped.upon her.
But thanks to God, 'this glorious Chris-
tianity COMPS forth, and all the chains
of this vassalage are snapped, and she
rises up from ignominy to exalted
sphere. and becomes the affectionate
tia.ughter, the gentle. wife, the honored
mother, the useful. Christian. Oh, if
Christianity has done so much for wo-
man, urely wonian will become its Most
ardent - advocate .-and its sublituest
ox-

Military Cyclin= io Russia..
Some interesting experiments in ..nin-
tary cycling- have just been "made in
Moscow under the direction of the Com-
mander of the Forces of the Moscow
District. Small parties, Consisting of an
officer and three or four men, in full
marching order, with rifles, etc., set out
simultaneously from Vledimir and Yaro-
slavl' to Moscow, and from -Moscow to
Vladitnira The Vladimir route of l26:1 -
miles was done with a full night's rest
- and frequent.stoppages, the best time of
three separate journeys being34 hours in
all, and the longest 4.4 hours, of which
Only 11 were spent in actual riding.. The
Yaroslavl' route of • 176?_, miles was done
in 44 -hours, including two full nights'
rest of 10 hours, and 28 hours' actual
riding. In • considering tile times abca'..e
given the state of the roads in Russia
must, of course, be taken into account,
together with the intense summer heat.
