TALM AGE'S SEB1IOX. A Discourse on "The Disadvan tages of Gorao People." Th I)ci roigltt of I'rjfortunat Namei Th Strength of WmkiiMK-Snegri. tlona for Morally nd Phricl lf Liandlrnpped Men. ' Rr. T. Pv7lU Talmngt, la a recent "niion at th Brooklyn Tabernacle, chose t'T bis (.ul.jeot: "The Disadvantage-sot IWne I'eopl," taking for his text: J II then tiling are against me. Genesis ii... arid pleached the following sermon: Fallm Jacob, you are wrcnff! You lb ink your son Joseph is dead, but he is 1'riiue Minister of Eypt, and has the keys of the preat corn crib. Yoa think that ir'-umstanoes are ail adverse, but they "ill turn out we'L In all your life you never made a. greater mistake than when yon said : AM tlit il,!nm are against me. A ereat mult itude of people are under e in ins dia! vantages, an 1 I will to-day, fn Ihe ewRrtMest Anglo-Saxon that I can manage, treat iliclr cases; not as a nurse oc tints out eight or ten drops of a pre a ci ipticn, and slirs them in a half glass of wntr, but as when a man has by mistake talrcn large amount of strychnine, or l iis green, (,r belladonna, and the pa tient I walked rapidly round the room, r. n 1 ibakrn up, end pounded until he gets v. i le awake. Many of you have taken a lmre tlraualit of the poison of discourage ment, and I come out by the order of the "Diytne l'bysician to rouso you cut of that leihargy. 1. Many people are under tlie disadvan tage of an un'ortunate name, given tlieai 1 y parents who thouzht they were doing a flood thing. Sometimes at the baptism of cl ildren. while I have liel 1 up one hand In prayer, I have held the other hand in amazement that parents should have weighted the babe with such a dissonant and repulHive nomenclature. I have not no much wondered that some children should cry out at the christening font as that others with such smiling face should tnke. a title that will be the I urden of their lifetime. I' is outrageous to afflict chil with en undesiial K name because It hap pened to be possessed by a parent or a rich uncle from whom favors are expected, or some prominent mnn of the day who may end his life in disgrace. It is no excuse, because they are Scripture name), to call a cl.ibl Jehoiakim, or Tiglath-Pilesscr. At this very altar I baptised one by the name H..-1 hsheba. hy, under the circumam bient Hearm, any parent should want to Eire to a child the name of that loose and infamous creature of Scripture titne-i I can not imagine. I have often felt at the I np t i nisi alt nr, when names were announce 1 to me, like SHyin, as did Itov. Dr. Kich- iirds, of Moi risfown, N. J., when a child was Landed him for sprinkling, and the nnme given : 'Hniiu't you better call it something Cine?" Impose not. upon that babe a name sug gestive of flippancy or meanness. There is no xruse for such assnul t and battery on the cradle when our language is op ulent with nams musical in sound anil suggestive 4 in meaning:, such as John, caning "t'tie gracious gift of God;" or Henry, maaning "the chief of a house hold ;" or Alfred, meaning "good coun sellor;" or Joshua, morning "God, our Mnvntion;"or Nicholas, meaning "victory of the penple;" or Ambrose, moaning "iinrnoitiil;" or Andrew, meaning "manly;.' or Esther, meaning "a stai ;' or Abigail, meaning "my father's Joy or Anna, meaning "grace;" or Victoria, nie.inm r "victory ;" or Kosalie, meaning 'beautiful us a rose;" or Margaret, mean in . "a pearl;' or Ida, meaning "god like;" or Clara, meaning "illustrious;" or Amelia, moaning "busy;" or Bertha, menning "beautiful;" and hundreds of other mimes jiist as good, that are a help rather than a hinderance. Hut sometimes the great hlnderance in bfoisnotin the given name, but, in the familv name. While Legislatures are willing to lift such incubus, there are fm ilics that keep a name which mortgages nil the generations with a great 4it advantage. You say: "! wonder if he is any rel itlon to so ami no?" mentioning some family celebrated for crime or deception. It isawonder to me that in all such families some spirited young man does not rise, saying to his brothers an 1 sisters: "If you want to keep this nuisance or scandnbzation of a name, I will keep it no longer than until by quickest courseoflaw I can slough olT this gangrene." When the t.'oneral Assembly of the Pres byterian Church of ths U nited States met In tbii building in 1370, two estimable men of tlus sweetest disposition stopped at the same house, and One bad the misnomer of being Mr. Hour and the other the mis nomer of being Mr. Pickle. And your city directory has hundreds of names the mere pronunciation of which has been a life long obstacle. If you have started life un der a name which, either through ridicul ous orthography or vicious suggestion, has been nu incumbrance resolve that the next generation shall not bo so weighted. It in no I emeanlng to change a name, Saul of Tart-us became l'aul the Apostle. Hahassah, "the myrtle," became Esther, "thoBtar." We have in America, and I upi ose it is so in all countries, names which ought to be abolished, and can be an t will be ab dished for the reason that I hey are a libel and a slander. Rut if for any reason you are submerged either by a given name or by a family name that you must bear, God will help you to overcome the outrage by a life consecrated to the good and useful. You may erae the curse from the name. You may somewhat, change the significance. If once it stood for meanness, you can make it stand for generosity. If once it fctood for pride, you can make it stand for humility. If it once stood for fraud, you can make It stand for honesty. If once it stood for wickedness, you can make it stand for purity. There have been multi tudes of instances where men and women have magnificently conquered the disas ters of the name inflicted upon them. 2. Again, many people labor under the misfortune of incomplete physical equip ment. We are by our Creator so economi cally built that we can not afford the ot liteiation of any physical faculty. "We want our two eyes, our two ears, our two hands, our two feet, our eight filters, and two thumbs. Yet what mul titudes of people have but one eya or but one foot. The ordinary casualties of life have been quadrupled, quintupled, sex tupled aye, centupled, iu our time by the civil war, and at the North and 8outh a great multitude that no man caa number are fighting the battle of life with half, or less than half, the needed physical arma ment. I do not wonder at the pathos of a soldier during the war, who when told that he must have his hand amputated, aid: "Doctor, can't you save it?" And when told that it was Impossible, said, with tears rolling down his cheeks: "Well, then, good-bye, old hand; I hate lo part with vou. You have done roe a fcood service for many years, but it seems you must go. Oood-byr." A celebrated surgeon tol l me of a scene in the clinical department of "one of the Mow York hospitals, when a poor man with a wounded leg was brought -in be fore the students to be operated on. The surgeon was pointing out this and that to the students, and handling the wounded lee, end was about to proceed to amputa tion, when the poor man leaped from tha table and hobbled to the dsor,.and said; "Gemlainen,' I am sorry to disappoint you. but, by the help of God, I wtU dje with my leg on." Wb'at a terrific loss is the loss ef our physical faculties! The way t ' e ba t ( le of Creey was decided r-sin.it til F e.ich wns by the VhhmD k;!'i' ir h- French" horse, and Umt In-uUs. thslr riders to the ground, Ani when yoa crlppl tb.ii body, whiob. is j merely the animal a whiob. the soul ; rides, vou may sometimes defeat the soul. Yet, how many suffer from thig physi cal taking off! Good cheer, my brother! God will make it up to you somehow. The grace, the sympathy of God will be more to you than any thing you have lost. If God allows part of your resources to be cut off in one place. He will add it on somewhere else. As Augustus, the Em peror, took off a day from February, mak- Inc it the shortest month in the year, and added It to August, the month named af ter himself, so advantages taken from one part of your nature will bo added on to another. Hut it Is amazing: how nmcb. of the world's work has been done by men of subtracted physical organization. S. 8. Preston, the great orator of the South west, went limping all his life, but there was no foot put down upon any platform of his day that resounded so far as his clubfoot. Beethoven was so deaf that he could not hear the crash of the orchestra rendering his oratorios. Thomas Carlyle, the dysptptic martyr, was given the com mission to drive cant out of the world's literature. Rev. Thomas Stockton, of Phil adelphia, with cue lung raised his audi ence nearer Heaven then most ministers can raise them with two lungs. In the banks, the inurance companies, the com mercirl establishments, the reformatory associations, the churches, there are tens of thousands of men and women to-day doubled up of rheumatisms or subject to neuralgias, or with only fragments of limbs, the rest of which tbey left at Chat tanooga, or South Mountain, or the Wil derness, and they are worth more to the world, and more to the church, and more to God than those of u.i who have never so much as had a finger joint stiffened by a felon. Put to full use all the faculties that remain, and charge on all opposing circumstances with the determination of John of Bohemia, who was totally blind, and yet at a battle cried out: "I pray and beseech you to lead me so far into the fight that I may strike one good blow with this sword of mine." Do not think so much of what faculties you have lost as of what faculties remain. You have enough left to make yourself felt in three worlds, while you help the earth, and bolk hell, and win Heaven. Arise from your discouragements, oh men and women of depleted or crippled physi cal faculties, and see what, by the special help of God, you can accomplish! The skilled horsemen stood around Bu cephalus, unable to mount or manage him, so wild was the steed. But Alexander clutched him by the bridle and turned his head sway from the shadow and towards the sun, anil the htrse's agitation was gone, and Alexander mounted bim and rode off, to the astonishment of all who stood by. And what you peoplo need U to have your sight turned away from the shadow of your early lot over which you have so long pondered, and your bead turned toward the sun the glorious sun of gospel consolation and Christian hop nd spiritual triumph. And then remember that all the physical disadvantages will after awhile vanish. Let those who have bean rheumatismed out of a foot, or cataracted out of an eye, or by the perpetual roar of our cities thun dered out of an ear, look forward to tha day when this old tenement house of flesh will come down and a bet ter one shall be builded. The resurrec tion morning will provide you with a bet ter outfit. Either the unstrung, worn-out, blunted and crippled organs will be so re constructed that you will not know them, or an entire new set of eyes, and ears and feet will be given you. Just what it means hy corruption putting on incorrupption wa do not know, save that it will be glory in effable; no limping in Heaven, no strain ing of the eye-sight to see things a little way off; no putting of the hand behind the ear to double the capacity of the tym panum; but faculties perfect, all the keys of the instrument attuned for the sweep of the fingers of ecsta -y. But until that day of resurrection comes let us bear each other's burdens and so fulfill the law of Christ. 9. Another form of disadvantage under which many lal or is lack of early educa tion. There will be nO excuse for ignor ance in the next generation. Free schools and illimitable opportunity of education will make ignorance a crime. I believe in compulsory education, aud those persons who neglect to put their children under educational advantages havebut one right left, and that is the penitentiary. But there are multitudes of men and women in middle lite who have had no oppor tunity. Free schools had not yet been es tablished, and vast multitudes bad little or no school at all. They feel it when, as Christian men, they. . come to speak or pray in religious assemblies or public occasions, patriotic, or po litical, or educational. They are silent, because they do not feel corupe tent. They owe nothing to English gram' mar, or geography or belles letters. They would not know a participle from a pro noun if they met it many times a day Many of t ie most successful merchants of America, and men in high political places, can not write an accurate letter on any theme. They are completely dependent upon clerks and deputies and stenograph ers to make things right. I knew ., liter' ary man who, in other years, in Washing ton, made his fortune by Writing speeches for Congressmen, or fixing them up for the Congressional Record after they were delivered. The millionaire illiteracy of this country is beyond measurement. Now, suppose a man finds himself in midlife without education, what is he to dof D.- tho best he can. The most ef fective layman In a former pastoral charge that I ever heard speak on relig ious themes could, within five minutes of exhortation, break all the laws of English grammar, and if he left any law un frac tured, he would complete the work of lin gual devastation in the prayer with which he followed it. But I would rather have him pray for me, If I were sick or in trouble, than any Christian I know of, and in that church all the people pre ferred him in exhortation and prayer to all others. Why? Because he was so thoroughly pious and had such power with God he was irresistible; and as he went on in his prayer sinners repented and saints shouted for joy, and the be reaved seemed to get back their dead in celestial companionship. And when he had stopped praying, and a3 soon as I could wipe out of my eyes enough tears to see the closing hymn. I ended the meeting fearful that some long-winded prayer meeting bore would pu'l us down from the seventh heaven. Not a word have I to say against ac curacy of speech, or fine elocution, orhigh mental culture. Get all these 'you can. But I do say to those who were brought up in the day of poor school-houses and ig norant school-masters, ami no oppor tunity, you .may have so much good in your soul and so much of heaven in your every-day life that you will be mightier for good than any who went through the curriculum of Harvard or Yale, or Ox ford, yet. never graduated in the school f Christ. When you get up to the gate of Heaven no one will ask you whether you can parse the first chapter of Genesis, but whether you have learned the fear of the Lord, which is the beginning of wis dom; nor whether you know how to square .he circle, but whether jTou have lived a square life in a round world. Mount Zion Is higher than Mount Tarnassns. 4. But what other multitndes there are under other disadvantages! Here is the Christian woman wbose husband thinks religion a sham, and while the wife prays the children one way the husband swears tbecu another. Or here Is a Christian man who Is trying o do h.'s best for God and the Cliurch, and his wife holds him back and says on tha way home from prayer meetlnj;, wher he gave testimony fo Ci.iist: " b.at a fool yo make of yourseU! I hope hertaitar you. will keep still." And when ha weaJd be benevoleut and tve fifty dollars, aha criticises him for 'iving- fifty cents. I must do justice, and ublicly thank God that I never proposed it home to give anything for any causa of mmanity or religion but the other part ner in tha domestic firm approved It. And when It seemed beyond my ability and faith in God was necessary, she had three fourths of tha faich. But I know men who, when they contribute to charitable objects, are afraid that the wife shall find it out. What a withering curse such m wife must be to a good man! Then there are others nidar tha great disadvantage of poverty. Who ought to get things cheapest? You say those who Uave little means. But they pay more. You buy coal by the ton, they buy it by he bucket. You buy flour by the barrel, they buy it by the pound. You get ap parel cheap because you pay cash. They pay dear because they have to get trust ed. And the Bible was right when it said: The destruction of the poor Is their poverty- Then there are those who made a mis take in early life, and that overshadows all there days. "Do you not know that that man was once in prison?" Is whisper ed. Or. "Do you know that that man onca attempted suicide?" Or, "Do you know hat that m-n once absconded?" Or. "Do you know that that man was once dis charged for dishonesty?" Perhaps the,-e was only one wrong deed in the man's life, and that one act haunts the subse quent half-century of his existence. Others have unfortunate predominance of some mental faculty, and their rash ness throws them into wild enterprises, or their trepidation makes them decline great opportunity, or there is a vein of melancholy in their disposition that de feats them, or they havenn endowment of over-mirth that causes the impression of insincerity. Others have a mighty obstacle in their personal appearace, for which tbey ara not responsible. They. forget that God fashioned their features and their com plexion, and their stature, the size of their nose and mouth, and hands and feet, and gave them the gait and the general appearance; and they forget that much of the world's best work, and the church's best work, has been done by homely people; and that Paul the Apostle is said to have been hump-backed, and his eyesight weakened by ophthalmia, while many of the finest in appearance have passed their time before flattering looking glasses, or in studying killing at titudes, and in displaying the richness of wardrobes not one ribbon, or vest, or sack, or glove, or button, or shoestring of which they have had brains enough co earn for themselves. Others had wrong proclivities from the start. They were .born wrong, and that sticks to one even after he is born again. They have a natural crankiness that is two hundred and seventy-five years old. It came overwith their great-grandfathers from Scotland, or Wales, or France. It was born on the banks of the Thames, or tho Clyde, or the Tiber, or the Rhine, and has survived all the plagues and epidem ics of many generations, and is Uving to day on the banks of the Hudsoii, or the Androscoggin, or the Savannah, or tha La Plata. Aiid when a man tries to stoi this evil ancestral proclivity he is like a man on rock 'n the rapids of Niagara hold ing on with a grip from which the stvifi currents are trying to sweep lui n o '.lie abyss beyond. Oh. this world is an over-burdened world, an overworked world ! It is an awfully tired world. It is a dreadfully unfortu nate world. Scientists are trying to find out the cause of these earthquakes in all lands, cisatlantic and transatlantic. Some say this and some say that. I have taken the diagnosis of what is the matter with the earth. It has so many burdens ou it and so many fires within it, it has a fit. it can not stand such a circumference and such a diameter. Some new Cotopaxi, or Stromboli, or Vesuvius, wil open, and then all will be at peace for tlie natural world. But what about the moral woes of the world, that have rocked all nations, and for six thousand years science pro poses nothing but knowledge, and many people that know the most are the most uncomforted? In the way of practical relief for all dis advantages and all woes, the only voice that is worth listening to on this subject is the voice of Christianity, which is the voice of Almighty God. Whether I have mentioned the particular dis advantage under which you labor or not, I distinctly declare, in the name of my God, that there is a way out and a way up for all of you. You can not be any worse off than that Christian young woman who was in the Pemberton mills when they fell some years. ago, and from under the fallen timbers she was heard siuging: I am going home to die no more. Take good courage from that Bible, all of whose promises are for those in bad predicament. There are better days'-for you, either on earth or in Heaven. I put my hand under your chin and lift your face into the light of the coming dawn. Have God. on your side, and then you have for reserve troops all the armies of Heaven, the smallest company of which is 20,000 chariots, and the smallest battalion 144,000, the lightnings' of Heaven their" drawn swords. An ancient warrior saw an overpower ing host come down, upon his smalt com pany of armed '.men, and, mouutitigi hit horse with a handful of sand, he threw it in the air, crying: ' ' "Let their faces be covered with confu sion?" And both armies heard his voice, and history says it seemed as though the dust thrown in the air had become so many angels of supernatural deliverance and the weak overcome the mighty, aud the immense host fell back, and the small number marched on. Have faith in God, and though all the allied forces of dis couragement seem to come against you iu battle array, and their laugh of defiance and contempt resounds through all the valleys and mountains, you might, by faith in God and importunate prayer pick up a handful of the very dust of your hu miliation and throw it into the air, and it ehall I ecome angels of victory over all tha armies of earth and hell. The voices of your adversaries, human and satanio, shall be covered with confusion, while you shall be not only conqueror, but more than conqueror, through that grace which has so often made the fallen helmet of an overthrown antagonist the footstool of j Curistian victory. Governor Knsk and the Hurglar. Milwaukee Sentinel. A gentleman who wa in Madison, Wis,, tells this: "I was in the hotel alter tue Republican State Convention, and Gov ernor Rusk was near by with several of his friends. An officer came in with a man who was a prisoner. The latter had asked to see the Crovernor, and his request had been granted. A few moments' conversa tion in whisper followed. . As the prisoner was withdrawing be assumed a cheerful ness, and said: In one respect, Governor, at least, we resemble.' The Governor asked in what. 'You have .served two terms, and are a candidate for your third. I have served two terms, and am again elected for a third.' The fellow was a no torious, tut withal, an oily and brassy burglar. He had persuaded the officer t take bim to Gov.rnor Rusk for no othei purpose than getting off what I have re lated." A Ni Country to Live In. Amerlcus (Ga.) Reporter. Last Thursday Mrs. Nancy Gyles, who lives four or five miles from America, Ga., sent a little five-year-old grand daughter to a trunk to get out a dresj.

THEY WILL DRINK. an Illicit DiiT'llery Discovered In the Ful ton County (tieorgla) Jail. Atlanta Constitution. An illicit distillery is being run in Ful ton County jail. It is a rude get-up, but it furnishes corn whisky for three prison ers. A reporter was in the jail the other day and while rambling around in the cells unearthed the disullery in one of the cells. "What is this?" he asked as he pointed to a small oil stove. "Well, as you have caught np with us," replied one of the inmates, "I might as well tell you. That is a part of oar illicit distillery" " "Illicit distilling?" ' " ' s "Yes, we make as much corn whisky in here as we want, but I'll give you a point right now that we don't sell any of it." "How do you make corn whisky?" "Easy enough. You see this box here. Well, when we want to make a .'run'- we place a lot of this corn bread in the box and pour boiling water over it. This ma k what we call mash or beer. Try some of it!" and suiting his words he dipped up a cup full of staff and handed to the report er, which tasted something like a mix ture of red liquor and Chinese tooth wash. "Well, when we put this in the little boil er cn that oil stoye we, slick . in a rubber pipe which connects with this large coffee pot. The rubber tube goes under this stream of water here, and this generates a certain temperature, which makes the. liquor; The glucose is tl parated from the other stuff by the boiling progress, aud this stream brings out the pur j liquor." "How much can you make a day?" "I don't know. I expect if we would work all the time we could -make make a gallon, but we only make - enough for onr own use, and there is not a half dozen other prisoners in the jail who know we make it." "How do you keep them from it?" "By saying nothing and drinking our own liquor." "Ain't you afraid the revenue marshals will get you." "No; I don't think an y of them are mean enough to report us. We make it for our own us 3, and no one in here has had a drop of it." "Is it real good whisky?" "Jusr as good as any you ever tasted. We d ,n't want to let every body know what we are doing, but we get plenty to drink." "None of the prisoners dropped on to it?" "Not one. If they had we would have been worried to death by them. We will not sell or give it away." "How long have you been runniug it?" "Four or five weeks." "The jailer has-n't caught np with you?" "No, when we know they ore coming we shove every thing under the bed and look as innocent as lambs when they come in." "Do you get enough bread to run yen?" "Yes.j'ou see they dish out three or four pieces to each prisoner, and if you want more you can ask for it. There are three of us in this cell and we generally have six or eight pieces of bread left over when we get through eating." "Aud it makes good liquor?" "Just as good as ever you tasted. I urish I had some made for you." What the Tot Mistook Him For. f Boston Jonrnal. Some -rears ago a well-known Presbyte rian parson was spending his summer va cation with his family in the Adirondacks. One sunday he accepted an invitation to preach. In the congregation was a man who apparently was very deaf, for he came to th? service armed and equipped with an immense brass ear trumpet, and as soon as the sermon began went forward and took his seat well up on the pulpit stairs. The clergyman's little daughter was among the auditors. She had never seen an ear trumpet, and the spectacle of tho form on the pulpit stairs steadily hold ing that instrument against his head filled her with awe and wonder. On her way home from church the first the first thing she said to her father when they were alone was: "Papa wa that an archangel by you?" Good I. nek of a Seamstress. Portland (Me.) Press. Miss Helen A. Blanchurd, the daughter of a well-known Portland merchant, who was unfortunate in business, after an un successful attempt at keeping a boarding house in Boston, obtained work In a Phila delphia clothing house in running a sew ing machine. One day, in a fit of despera tion, she abandoued the sewing machine and the shop, not, however, to commit suicide, but to invent an over-seam stitch, and afterward a band in gentlemen's hats to prevent perspiration, both of which prove! highly successful. She has now returned to Portland to buy back the old homestead. Colored Men Made to Order Boston Journal.
