RICHES HAVE WINGS.

DR. TALMAGE ON THE CURRENT FINANCIAL DISTURBANCE. Right and Wrong Uses of Money--How Men Often Make Shipwreck of Character In Making Haste to Be Rich--Consola-tion to the Unfortunate. BROOKLYN, July 16.--Rev. Dr. Talmage has selected for his subject for today a topic of greatest interest and timeliness--viz, "Comfort For Business Men," the text being Isaiah xl, 2, "Speak ye comfortably to Jerusalem." What an awful six weeks in commercial circles! The crashing of banks from San Francisco to New York and from ocean to ocean. The complete uncertainty that has halted all styles of business for three months and the pressure of the money market for the last year have put all bargain makers at their wit's end. Some of the best men in the land have faltered--men whose hearts are enlisted in every good work and whose hands have blessed every great charity. The church of God can afford to extend to them her sympathies and plead before heaven with all availing prayer. The schools such men have established, the churches they have built, the asylums and beneficent institutions they have fostered, will be their eulogy long after their banking institutions are forgotten. Such men can never fail. They have their treasures in banks that never break and will be millionaires forever. The stringency of the money market, I am glad to say, begins to relax. May the wisdom of Almighty God come down upon our national legislature at their convening next month in Washington and such results be reached as shall restore confidence and revive trade and multiply prosperities! Yet not only now in the time of financial disaster, but all through life, our active business people have a struggle, and I think it will be appropriate and useful for me to talk about their trials and try to offer some curative prescriptions.

OVERBURDENED BUSINESS MEN.

In the first place, I have to remark that a great many of our business men feel

ruinous trials and temptations coming to them from small and limited capital in

business. It is everywhere understood that it takes now three or four times as

much to do business well as once it did. Once a few hundred dollars were turned

into goods--the merchant would be his own store sweeper, his own salesman, his own bookkeeper. He would manage all the affairs himself, and everything would be net profit. Wonderful changes have come. Costly apparatus, extensive advertising, exorbitant store rents, heavy taxtation, expensive agencies, are only parts of the demand made upon our commercial men, and when they have found themselves in such circumstances with small capital they have sometimes been tempted to run against the rocks of mortal and financial destruction. This temptation of limited capital has ruined men in two ways. Sometimes they have shrunk down under the temp-

tation. They have yielded the battle before the first shot was fired. At the

first hard gun they surrendered. Their knees knocked together at the fall of the auctioneer's hammer. They blanched at the financial peril. They did not understand that there is such a thing as hero-

ism in merchandise, and that there are Waterloos of the counter, and that a man can fight no bravery battle with the sword than he can with the yardstick. Their souls melted in them because sugars were up when they wanted to buy and down when they wanted to sell and unsalable goods were on the shelf and bad debts in their ledger. The gloom of their countenances overshadowed even their dry goods and groceries. Despondency, coming from limited capital, blasted them. Others have felt it in a different way. They have said: "Here I have been trudging along. I have been trying to be honest all these years. I find it is of no use. Now it is make or break."

The small craft that could have stood the stream is put out beyond the lighthouse on the great sea of speculation. Stocks are the dice with which he gambles. He bought for a few dollars vast tracts of western land. Some man at the east living on a fat homestead meets this gambler of fortune and is persuaded to trade off his estate here for lots in a western city with large avenues and costly palaces and lake steamers smoking at the wharves and rail trains coming down with lightning speed from every direction. There it is all on paper! The city has never been built nor the railroads constructed, but everything points that way, and the thing will be done as sure as you live. And that is the process by which many have been tempted through limitation of capital into labyrinths from which they could not be extricated. I would not want to chain honest enterprise. I would not want to block up any of the avenues for honest accumulation that open before young men. On the contrary, I would like to cheer them on and rejoice when they reach the goal, but when there are such multitudes of men going to ruin for this life and the life that is to come through wrong notions of what are lawful spheres of enterprise it is the duty of ministers of religion and the friends of all young men to utter a plain, emphatic, unmistakable protest. These are the influences that drown men in destruction and perdition. MAKING HASTE TO BE RICH. Again, a great many of our business men are tempted to overanxiety and care. You know that nearly all commercial businesses are overdone in this day. Smitten with the love of quick gain, our cities are crowded with men resolved to be rich at all hazards. They do not care how money comes. Our best merchants are thrown into competition with men of more means and less conscience, and if an opportunity of accumulation be neglected one hour some one else picks it up. From January to December the struggle goes on. Night gives no quiet to limbs tossing in restlessness, nor to a brain that will not stop thinking. The dreams are harrowed by imaginary loss and flashed with imaginary gains. Even the Sabbath cannot dam back the tide of anxiety, for this wave of worldliness dashes clear over the churches and leaves its foam on Bibles and prayer books. Men who are living on salaries or by the culture of the soil cannot understand the wear and tear of body and mind to which our merchants are subjected when they do not know but that their livelihood and their business honor are dependent[?] upon the uncertainties the next hour. This excitement of the brain, this corroding care of the heart, this strain of effort that exhausts the spirit, sends a great many of our best men in midlife to the grave. They find that Wall street does not end at the East river. It ends at Greenwood! Their life dashed out against money safes. They go with their store on their backs. They trudge like camels, sweating from Aleppo to Damascus. They make their life a crucifixion. Standing behind desks and counters, banished from the fresh air, weighed down by carking cares, they are so many suicides. Oh, I wish I could today rub out some of these lines of care; that I could lift some of the burdens from the heart; that I could give relaxation to some of these worn muscles! It is time for you to begin to take it a little easier. Do your best, and then trust God for the rest. Do not fret. God manages all the affairs of your life, and he manages them for the best. Consider the lilies--they always have robes. Behold the fowls of the air--they always have nests. Take a long breath. Bethink betimes that God did not make you a pack horse. Dig yourselves out from among the hogsheads and the shelves, and in the light of the holy Sabbath day resolve that you will give to the winds your fears, and your fretfulness, and your distresses. You brought nothing into the world; and it is very certain you can carry nothing out. Having food and raiment, be therewith content. The merchant came home from the store. There had been great disaster there. He opened the front door and said in the midst of his family circle: "I am ruined. Everything is gone. I am all ruined." His wife said, "I am left," and the little child threw up its hands and said, "Papa, I am here." The aged grandmother seated in the room said, "Then you have all the promises of God beside, John." And he burst into tears and said: "God forgive me that I have been so ungrateful. I find I have a great many things left. God forgive me."

NEGLECT OF HOME LIFE.

Again, I remark that many of our business men are tempted to neglect their home duties. How often it is that the store and the home seem to clash, but there ought not to be any collision. It is often the case that the father is the mere treasurer of the family, a sort of agent to see that they have dry goods and groceries. The work of family government he does not touch. Once or twice in a year he calls the children up on a Sabbath afternoon when he has a half hour he does not exactly know what to do with, and in that half hour he dis-

ciplines the children and chides them and corrects their faults and gives them

a great deal of good advice, and then wonders all the rest of the year that his children do not do better when they

have the wonderful advantage of that semiannual castigation.

The family table, which ought to be the place for pleasant discussion and

cheerfulness, often becomes the place of perilous expedition. If there be any blessing asked at all, it is cut off at both ends, and with the hand on the carving

knife. He counts on his fingers, making estimates in the interstices of the repast.

The work done, the hat goes to the head, and he starts down the street, and before

the family has risen from the table he has bound up another bundle of goods and says to the customer, "Anything more I can do for you today, sir?"

A man has more responsibilities than those which are discharged by putting competent instructors over his children and giving them a drawing master and

music teacher. The physical culture of the child will not be attended to unless the father looks to it. He must sometimes lose his dignity. He must unlimber his joints. He must sometimes lead

them out to their sports and games. The parent who cannot forget the severe du-

ties of life sometimes to fly the kite, and trundle the hoop, and chase the ball, and jump the rope with his children ought never to have been tempted out

of a crusty and unredeemable solitari-

ness. If you want to keep your children away from places of sin, you can only

do it by making your home attractive. You may preach sermons and advocate

reforms and denounce wickedness, and yet children will be captivated by the glittering saloon of sin unless you can make your home a brighter place than any other place on earth to them. Oh, gather all charms into your house!

If you can afford it, bring books and pictures and cheerful entertainments to the household. But, above all, teach those children, not by half an hour

twice a year on the Sabbath day, but day after day, and every day teach them that religion is a great gladness that throws chains of gold about the neck; that it takes no spring from the foot, no blitheness from the heart, no sparkle from the eye, no ring from the laughter, but that "her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace." I sympathize with the work being done in many of our cities by which beautiful rooms are set apart by our Young Men's Christian associations, and I pray God to prosper them in all things. But, I tell you, there is something back of that and before that. We need more happy, consecrated, cheerful Christian homes in America. THE RIGHT USES OF MONEY. Again, I remark that a great many of our business men are tempted to put the attainment of money above the value of the soul. It is a grand thing to have plenty of money. The more you get of

it the better, if it come honestly and go usefully. For the lack of it sickness

dies without medicine, and hunger finds its coffin in the empty bread tray, and nakedness shivers for lack of clothes and fire. When I hear a man in canting tirade against money--a Christian man --as though it had no possible use on earth and he had no interest in it, I come almost to think that the heaven that would be appropriate for him would be an everlasting poorhouse! While, my friends, we do admit there is such a thing as a lawful use of money --a profitable use of money--let us recognize also the fact that money cannot satisfy a man's soul; that it cannot

glitter in the dark valley; that it cannot pay our fare against the Jordan of death;

that it cannot unlock the gate of heaven. There are men in all occupations who seem to act as though they thought a pack of bonds and mortgages could be

traded off for a title to heaven and as though gold would be a lawful tender

in that place where it is so common that they make pavements out of it. Salvation by Christ is the only salvation. Treas-

ures in heaven are the only incorrupt-

ible treasures. Have you ever ciphered out in the rule of loss and gain the sum, "What

shall it profit a man if he gain the whole world and lose his soul?" However fine your apparel, the winds of death will flutter it like rags. Homespun and a

threadbare coat have sometimes been the shadow of coming robes made white

in the blood of the Lamb. The pearl of great price is worth more than any gem you can bring from the ocean, than Australian or Brazilian mines strung in one carcanet. Seek after God, find his righteousness, and all shall be well here; all shall be well hereafter.

But I must have a word with those who during the present commercial ca-

lamities have lost heavily, or perhaps lost all their estate. If a man lose his

property at 30 or 40 years of age, it is only a sharp discipline generally by which later he comes to larger success. It is all folly for a man to sit down in midlife discouraged. The marshals of Napoleon came to their commander and said, "We have lost the battle, and we are being cut to pieces." Napoleon took his watch from his pocket and said: "It is only 2 o'clock in the afternoon. You have lost that battle, but we have time enough to win another. Charge upon the foe!" Through the meridian of life has passed with you and you have been routed in many a conflict, give not up in discouragement. There are victories yet for you to gain. But sometimes monetary

disaster comes to a man when there is something in his age or something in his health or something in his surround-

ings which make him know well that he will never get up again.

In 1857 it was estimates that for many years previous to that time annually

there had been 30,000 failures in the United States. Many of those persons

never recovered from the misfortune. But let me give a word of comfort in passing. The sheriff may sell you out of many things, but there are some

things of which he cannot sell you out. He cannot sell out your health. He can-

not sell out your family. He cannot sell out your Bible. He cannot sell out your God. He cannot sell out your heaven. You have more than you have lost.

Sons and daughters of God, children of an eternal and all loving Father, mourn not when your property goes. The world is yours, and life is yours,

and death is yours, and immortality is yours, and thrones of imperial grandeur are yours, and rivers of gladness are yours, and shining mansions are yours, and God is yours. The eternal God has

sworn it, and every time you doubt it you charge the King of heaven and earth with perjury. Instead of complaining how hard you have it, go home, take up your Bible full of promises, get down on your knees before God and thank him for what you have instead of spending so much time in complaining about what you have not.

AN AWFUL SHIPWRECK.

Some of you remember the shipwreck of the Central America. This noble steamer had, I think, about 500 passen-

gers aboard. Suddenly the storm came, and the surges trampled the decks and

swung into the hatches, and there went up a hundred voiced death shriek. The foam on the jaw of the wave; the pitching of the steamer as though it were leaping a mountain; the dismal flare of

the signal rockets; the long cough of the steam pipes; the hiss of the extinguished

furnaces; the walking of God on the wave! The steamer went not down with-

out a struggle. As the passengers stationed themselves in rows to bale out the vessel, hark to

the thump of the buckets as men unused to toil, with blistered hands and strained

muscle, tug for their lives. There is a sail seen against the sky. The flash of

the distress gun is sounded. Its voice is heard not, for it is choked in the louder

booming of the sea. A few passengers escaped, but the steamer gave one great lurch and was gone! So there are some men who sail on prosperously in life. All's well, all's well. But at last some financial disaster comes--a euroclydon.

Down they go! the bottom of this commercial sea strewn with shattered hulks. But because your property goes do not let your soul go. Though all else perish, save that, for I have to tell you of a more stupendous shipwreck than that which I have just mentioned. God launched this world 6,000 years ago. It has been going on under freight of mountains and immortals, but one day it will stagger at the cry of fire. The timbers of rock will burn, the mountains flame like masts and the clouds like sails in the judgment hurricane. Then God shall take the passengers off the deck, and from the berths those who have long been asleep in Jesus, and he will set them far beyond the reach of storm and peril. But how many shall go down? That will never be known until it shall be announced one day in heaven--the shipwreck of a world! Oh, my dear hearers, whatever you lose, though your houses go, though your lands go, though all

your earthly possessions perish, may God Almighty, through the blood of the everlasting covenant, save all your soul.

Resigning From the Militia.

There are ways of getting out of the national guard before one's time is up, and it is not always necessary to acquire a chronic illness or remove from the state or become a convict to find those ways. A young man who recently joined the guard applied for dismissal at the end of his sixth week of service. He did not give his reasons, but the officers learned that he wanted to get out because his best girl had told him that uniform was not becoming to him. He was dropped from the rolls with dizzying suddenness.--New York Sun.

Like Siamese Twins.

The Nankin correspondent of a Shanghai paper says: "A Tianwasi man came to this city, bringing with him a remarkable freak of nature in the shape of his two sons, aged 8 years. The boys were alike in face and form, but they are connected with each other by a piece of flesh as thick as a man's arm and joined together just below the waist, making the twins stand face to face. The twins never fall asleep at the same time."

The Ivy Geranium.

Curiously ten[?]ions of life is that beautiful plant commonly called the ivy geranium. Branches cut off and kept partly immersed in water live on for months, not only with small loss of vi-

tality in the larger leaves, but even with some development of leaf buds and pos-

sibly some growth of new wood. This occurs, too, without any sign of root de-

velopment in the immersed ends. The clippings are peculiarly fitted for indoor decoration in winter, as the green of the ivy geranium is so fresh as to suggest a perpetual spring.--New York Sun.

English Livings.

There are about 14,000 livings in Eng-

land and Wales. Of these nearly 7,500 are in the gift of the crown, Prince of Wales, lord chancellor, bishops, chap-

ters, archdeacons, universities, rectors and vicars (as such) and trustees. About

2,000 others are in the patronage (as to 1,400) of peers and (as to the rest) of other titled persons. Although now and again a nobleman's livings are sold, and

even distinguished colleges have been caught tripping in the matter of simony,

it is among the remaining 4,500 livings that almost all the traffic exists. Statistics fail us here. No doubt the majority of these 4,500 livings never come into the market, and belong to patrons who recognize their responsibility. What fraction of them have been acquired as to patronage or incumbency by means more or less tainted it is impossible to say. The "clergy list" for 1892, however, shows that there are 593 livings where the incumbent and the patron are the same person and 424 where both are of the same name. A considerable proportion of the parson patrons have, it can hardly be doubted, become patrons in order to present themselves. On the other hand, some of the 593 and a large number of the 424 represent "family livings." As to these, it would be inaccurate to say that the living has been bought for the sake of the parson, but in many cases the parson has been ordained for the sake of the living.--Contemporary Review. Birds and Their Nests. Some birds will forsake their nests if so much as a finger is placed within, but others, suspicious that their secret has been discovered, seek to hide them more efficaciously by admirably ingenious plans. Among the thick fern growth of a bank a wood warbler had woven a nest. The bird had evidently selected

this bank because of the quantity of dead leaves scattered and heaped there-

on, the tawny crispness of these corresponding nicely with the domed edifice, thereby rendering discovery almost impossible. But the fine quality of the ferns led to its detection. Tugging at the frail fronds, a kindly disposed lady scared the sitting warbler, which flew with plaintive call to an adjacent bough, and there exhibited signs of distress. The lover of nature could not resist a peep at the cozy home, which at a

glance appeared like a shapeless mass of dead leaves and grasses. Some few

days after, walking through the same wood, she was again attempted to pay the little wood bird a visit. Puzzled and surprised, she could not find its whereabouts, but a few minutes' search revealed an alteration from the original mode. The cunning bird had blocked up the old entrance and covered that side of the nest with dead leaves, breaking a doorway through on the opposite side.--London Tit-Bits. A Portiere Made of Shells. A lady who spends her summers at the seaside has collected about a bushel, more or less, of small, almost flat, thin, yellow shells, which abound at so many points on the coast. With these she this

year fashioned a portiere that is novel and pretty beyond description. Each

shell is pierced with a hot wire and then strung on a delicate wire so that the

narrow end of one is next to the wide end of the other. A number of strings

were made in this way long enough to reach from the floor to the curtain pole,

where they were securely fastened to a strip of plantation cloth of the same shade as the shells. Through the fretwork above this curtain is draped a length of sea green india silk, falling half way to the floor on the right side. A less ambitious woman has made a curious scarf by sewing these shells in artistic confusion on either end of a length of nile green silk, putting here and there bits of golden green seaweed. A fringe is made for each end by stringing shells on green embroidery silk instead of wire.--New York Letter. Worrying Over Trifles. "My young friend Seth Blooby," said Colonel Calliper, "was healthy and wealthy, and he had nothing to do but to get as much enjoyment out of life as he could. For some time he had great success; then a cloud arose. "Seth was not a tall man--in fact, he

was rather short, but he had never thought anything about this one way or

the other until men began to wear large plaids, and, do you know, he was greatly distressed because he couldn't wear plaids as big as some of his friends could? "Seems foolish, doesn't it, for a man situated as Seth was to fret over such a

matter as that? But I venture to say that we all know men with every reason to be happy who make themselves miserable worrying over trifles not worth a moment's consideration."--New York Sun. Obelisks Out of Place. A few years ago the favorite drive of visitors in Alexandria was to see the obelisks known as "Cleopatra's Needles," but now both of them have gone. They stood before the palace of Sebasteum, whose site a stonemason's yard and Ramleh station probably occupy, and the connection of them with the notorious queen is now quite exploded. No one who has stood beside that one still mercifully left at On can but feel anger and regret that they should have been removed to lands where no surrounding is in keeping and where their rapid destruction is certain. That remaining where those once at Alexandria came from still serves to mark the spot where the great temple stood and makes one dream dreams of what scenes and persons in the world's story it must have

looked down upon, from earlier days than those when Joseph, the patriarch,

came to wed the daughter of the priest here to even later than when its shadow must have fallen upon another Joseph and Mary, his wife, bearing the child Jesus as they came to its fountain for water. Those at Alexandria had been removed before that great advent, but it would have been far more "scientific" and shown far better taste to have sent them back for future ages to value on their original sites than to have taken them to lands where they must rapidly crumble to dust. There can be no possible excuse made with that gone to New York, the only palliative with regard to ours on the embankment is the forgotten fact

that it was presented by the Egyptian government to commemorate our tri-

umphs over France. That at New York is now almost smooth, its inscriptions obliterated, as that on the Thames bank will be in another 20 years.--Nineteenth Century. OCEAN CITY A Moral Seaside Resort.
