RUNNING INTO DEBT.
DR. TALMAGE'S WARNING TO THE.
MEN OF THE PERIOD.
Ditesn **Like an Ox to the Slaughter" by
the Evil Influences Of Social LIfe---The
Downward Path—Rewards of Honesty
and Industry.
New York, Aug. 15.—Dr. 'Talmage in
his sermon to-daye shows hove running
into hopeless debte and skeptioism -have
undone young men in town and coun-
try. The text is Proverbs vli, 22, "As an
ox to the slaughter."
There is 'nothing In the voice or man-
ner of the butcher to indicate to the ox
that there is death ahead. The ox thinks
he is going on to a rich pasture field of
clover where all day.he will revel In the
herbaceous; luxuriance. but after awhile
the men and the.boys close in upon him
with sticks and stones and shouting, and
drive Min through bars and into a door-
way, where he is fastened, and with a
well aimed stroke the ax fells him,. and
so the anticipation of the redolent pas-
ture field is completely disappointed. So
many a young man has been driven on
by temptation to what he thought would
be paradisiacal enjoyment, but after
awhile influences with darker hue and
twarthier arm close in upon Min, and he
finds that instead of retaking an exon.r-
sion irao a garden he hag been driven
"as an oX to the slaughter."
We are apt to blame young men for
being destroyed when we ought to blame
the iniluenoes that destroy them. Society
slaughters a great many young men by
the behest: "You must keep up appear-
ances. Whatever be yohr salary, you
raust dress as well as others, you must
give wine' and brandy to as many friends,
you must smoke as costly cigars, you
must give as expensive entertainments,
and you must live in as fashionable a
boarding house. If you haven't the
money borrow. If you can't borrow,
make a false entry or subtract here and
there a bill from a bundle of bank bills.
You will only have to make the decep-
tion a little while. In a few months or in
a year or tWo you can make it all right.
Nobody will be hurt by it nobody will
be the wiser.. You yourself will not be
damaged." By that awful process a
hundred thousand men haye been slaugh-
tered for time and slaughtered for etern-
Borrowing Money.
Suppose you borrow. There is nothin
wrong aboue borrowing money. There
hardly a man wine has not sometim
borrowed money. Vast estates have bee
built on a borrowed dollar. But the
are two kinds of borrowed mone
Money borrowed for the purpose -of star
ing or keeping up legitimate enterprise
and expense and money borrowed to g
that which you can do without. T
first is right, the other is wrong. If yo
have money enough of your own to bu
a coat, however plain, and then you bo
row money for a dandy's outfit, you ha
taken the first revolution of the wh
down grade. Borrow for the necessitie
that may be -well. Borrow for the lu
uries; that tips your prospects over
the wrong direction.
The Bible distinctly says the borrow
is servant of the lender. It is a bed sta
of things when you have to go dow
some other street to emit*, meeting sem
one whom you owe. If yoang meo kne

The trouble is, My friends, that peo
ple do not understand the ethics of goin
in debt, and that if yompurchase good

I take the merchant's time and I take the
time of his messenger to transfer the
goods to -my house, while in the other
mese I take none of the time of the mer-
chant, and I wait upon myself, and I
transfer the goods without any trouble
to him. In other words. a sneak thief is
not so had as a man who ertracts debts
he never expects to pay.
Yet im all our cities there are families
who move every May day to get into
prpeireity to other grocers and meat
shops and apothecaries. They owe every-
body within half a mile of where they
now live, and. next May they will move
into a distant Dart of the city, finding a
new lot of victims. Meanwhile you, the
honest family in the. new house, are
bothered day by day bY the knocking at
the door of disappointed bakers and
butehers and dry goods dealers and news-
paper carriers, and you are asked where
your predecessor is. You do not know.
It was arranged you should not know.
Meanwhile your predecessor bas gone to
some distant part of the city, and the
people who have anything to sell have
sent their wagons and stopped there to
solicit the "valuable" custom of the new
neighbor, and he, the new neighbor, with
great complacency and an air of afflu-
ence, orders the finest steaks- and the
highest priced sugars and the. best of
canned fruits and perhaps all the news-
papers; And the debts will keep on ac-

All this makes me solicitous in regard
to ming men, and 1. want to mike thein
nervous in regard to the contraction of
unpayeble debts. I give you a paragraph
from my own experience.
My first settlement as paetor was in a
village. My salary was' $890 and a par-
sonage. S The amount seemed enormous
to roe. I said to myself, "What, all this
for one year!" I was , afraid of getting.

solved to invite all the congregation to

gan, and as they were the best congrega-
tion in all the world and we felt nothing
was too good for them we piled all the
luxuries pr; the table. I nevar completed
the undertaking. At the t end of six
found tbat we not only had not the Surplus
of luxueies, but we had a -struggle to get
the neceseities, and I teamed what every
young man learns In time to Save him-

the size of a man's body before you begin
to out the cloth for his coat.
When a young man willfully and of

be knoWs not into what he goes:: The
creditors get after the debtor, the pack
of hounds in full cry, and, alas for the
reindeer! -.They jingle his dottrb,;511 before
' he gets up in the morning; they jingle
his doorbell after he has gone to bed at
night. They meet him as he comes off
:his front steps. They send him a postal
card or a letter in curtest style, telling
him to pay up. They attach his goods.
They want cash or a note at 30' days'or
a note on demand. They call him a
knave. -They say he lies. They want him
disciplined in, the church. They want
him turned out of the bank. They come
at him froni this side and from that side
and from before and from behind and
from above and from beneath and he is
insulted and gibbeted and sued and

Manuscript Boom of the British Museum.
In the bewildering mage of the'British
Museum, where many miles of _shelves
and cases are filled with World's trea-
sures, there is one little room that at-
tracts a greater number of visitors than
any other. The crowds that throng
about the cases in this room are com-
posed of persons of cupiously diverse
characteristics. Itis a center of interest'
for scholars; 'and literary people, and yet
imams as attractive to the least learned
of the visitors. This ls the rdom whits*
contaips the department 61 autographin
and manuscripts,. and the treasuresi
within it are perhaps the most humanly
interesting in the whole museum.
Here are all Manner of, writings by the.
hands of the *orld's greatest men of
many ages and Countries. There are .peztt
sonal letters of kings and popes, queens,
ministers and courtiers, Whose names in
history, in story, and in song seem not
to stand for real men and women, but
rather for legendary beings, and these
letters reveal in some homely phrase or
bit Of simple sentiment a touch of human
nature which seehis to inake them more
akin to those who curiously scan the
documenti to -day. Here one may come,1
as it seems, to actual acquaintance wit*
the most notable of the characters in
Shakespeare's; historical dramas, and get
a new reading, in the 'quaint originaln
of passages in his works. Here aro chard
ters and State papers that. telt volumes1
of history, in a few lines; letters of -the
great religious reformers, of statesmen,
generals, poets. and composers. These
autograph doouments, many of them
letters frora husband to wife or lover to'
sweetheart, show famous personages in a
very different light from that in which
they are commonly seen in the pages of
Where Shorthand is Weak.
It was an' hour or more after mid
night.
There was a furious ringing at the
door bell. .
A few minutes elapsed, and then a
head was thrust out of a second -Story
"What do you want?"
"This is where Mr. Speecher lives,
"You delivered a particularly interest-
ing address before the Advancement of
Dlan,kind Club this evening on 'The
Dead of '96?' "
"You spoke of a noted man named
NI want you to tell me whether he
Was a Protestant or a- Roman Catholic)."
"He was a Protestant. What—"
"That's all I want to know. I'm the
shorthand reporter that took down the
speech, and I couldn't tell from my notes
whether you said that - at the age of
twenty-seven he eptered the ministry or
a monastery. Ever so much obliged to
you. Good night!"
High Enjoyment.
One of the highest and best enjoyments
conies through what is done , for others.
This is believed in theoretically', but
seldom practically. If a man has money,
he imagines the way to enjoy it is either
to keep and accumulate it or to spend it
en personal gratification; yet he misses
the very finest of its delights when he
refuses to share it or its benefits with
others. So with our time, our talents,
and our thoughts—kept to ourselves, or
used siniply for our own delectation,
they do not give us a tithe of the real
enjoyment that they afford when we
use them liberally for the benefit of the
family, or friends, or the community.
No one who has once tasted the sweets of
minietering successfully to the happiness
of others will ever again relapse into a
purely selfish use of his advantages.
Perfect children. -
Doctors Wno agree.
Always wise parents. ,
- A man without an enemy.
Lovers. who never quatrel.
_Genius without opportunity.
A great character flawless.
Pride and humanity hand in hand.
One who loves his enemy as himself.
Sense that attraets as soon as beauty.
The tattling tongue that tette the truth.
'Greater self abnegation than that of
trust_ love.

We know that Cod --liver
Oil is a fat -forming food
,because takers of it gain rap-
idly in weight under its use
and the whole body receives
vital force. When prepared
as in Scott's Emulsion, it is
quickly and easily changed
into the tissues of the body.
As your doctor would say,
"it is easily assimilated."
Perhaps you are sulfating
from fat starvation. You
take fat enough with your
food, but it either isn't the
right kind, or it isn't digested.
