TALMAGE’S SERMON. ‘

Suggested By Its Study.

Helens— Munrullne W»tn#n and
FfTemlnate Men Dlsenssed In
Their Domsstic Halations.
Rst. T. De Witt Talmafce took for the
•object of his sixth sermon at “The Hamp
tons” “Woman’s Opportunity,” his text
being:
So God created man In hit own tmace. In the
Image of God created he him: male and female
created he them.-Genesis 1., *7.
Is other words. God, who can make no
mistake, made man ami woman for a spe
cific work, and to move in particular
•pheres—man to be regnant in his realm,
woman to be dominant in hers. The bound
ary l.ne between Italy and Switzerland,
between England nud Scotland, is not
more thoroughly marked than this dis
tinction between the empire masculineand
the empfre feminine. So entirely dissim
ilar are the fields to which God called them
that you can no more compare them than
you can oxvgen and hydrogen, water and
grass, trees and stars. All this talk about
the superiority of one sex to the other sex
is an everlasting waste of ink and speech.
A JewcJrt- may have a scale so delicate
tha^ he can weigh the dust of diamonds,
bu^w here are the scales so delicate that you
Van we gh them in affection against affec
tion. sentiment aga.nst sentiment, thought
against thought, soul aga nst soul, a man’s
world against a woman's world? Yon
come out with your stereotyped remark,
the man is superior to woman in intellect;
and then I open on mv desk the swarthy.
Iron-typed, thunder-bolted writings of
Harriet Mart neau, and Elizabeth Brown
ing. and George Eliot. You com* on
w th vour stereotyped remark about
w man's superiority to man in the item of
affect: u. but I ask you where was there
more capacity to love than in John, the
disciple, and Robert McCheyne, the
Scotchman, and John Summerfield. the
Methodist, and Henry Martin, the mis
sionary. The hearts of those men were so
large, that after you had rolled
into them two liennspueres, mere
was room -till left to marshal
the la sts of IToaven and set up the throne
of the eternal Jehovah. I deny to man
the throne intellectual. I deny to woman
the thpni*' alTectional. No human phrase
ology will ever drline the spheres, while
there is nn intuition by which we know
when a man is in his realm, and when a
woman is in her realm, and when either of
them is out of it. No bungling legislature
ought to attempt to make a definition or
to say: “This is the lino and that is the
line.”
My theory is that if a woman wants to
Vote she ought to vote, and that if a man
wants to embroider and keep house he
ought to be allowed to embroider and keep
house. There are masculine women and
effeminate inn. My theory is that you
have no right to interfere with anyone’s
doing any thing that is righteous. Al
bany and Washington might as well de
cree by legislation how high a brown
thrasher should fly, or bow deep a trout
should swim, as to try to seek out the
height or the depth of a woman’s
duty. The question of capacity
will settle finally the whole ques
tion, the whole subject. When a
w-oinnn is prepared to preach, she will
preach, and neither conference nor presby
tery can binder her. When a woman is
prepared to move in highest commercial
spheres she will have great influence on
the exchange, and no boards of trade can
binder her. I want woman to understand
that heart and brain can overfly any bar
rier that politicians may set up, and that
nothing can keep her back or keep her
down but the question of incapacity.
There are women, 1 know, of most unde
sirable nature, w ho w ander up and down
the country—having no homes of their
own, or forsaking their own homes—talk
ing aliout their rights, and we know very
well that they themselves are tit neither
to vote nor to keep house. Their mission
seems to be to humiliate the two sexes at.
the thought of what any of us might be
come. No one would want to live under
the law s that such women would enact, or
to have cast upon society the children
that such a woman would raise. But I
shall show you this morning that the best
rights that woman can own she al
ready ha- in her possession; that her posi
tion in this country at this time is not one
of commiseration, but one of congratula
tion; that the grandeur and power of her
realm have never \ et beeu appreciated;
that she sits to-day on a throne so high
that all the L. ones of earth piled on top
of each other would not make fur her a
footstool. Here is the platform on which
she stands. Away down below it are the
ballot-box and the congressional as
semblage ami the legislative hall. Women
always have voted and always will vote.
Our great-grandfathers thought they were
by their votes putting Washington into
the presidential chair. No. His mother,
by the principles she taught him, aud by
tne nanus sue lucuicaieu maue mm x resi
dent. It was a Christian mother’s hand
dropping the ballot wheu Lord Bacon
wrote, and Newton philosophized,
and Alfred the Great governed,
and Jonathan Edward^ thundered of
judgment to come. How many men there
have been in high political station who
would have been insufficient to stand the
test to w hich their moral principle was put
bad it not been fur a w ife’s voice that en
couraged them to do right, and a wife’s
prayer that sounded louder than the
clamor of partisanship? Why, my friends,
the right of suffrage, as we men exercise
it, seems to be a feeble thing. You, a
Christian man, come up to the ballot-box
and yon drop your vote. Hight after you
comes a libertine, or sot—the offscouriug
of tt*: street—and he drops his vote; and
his vote counteracts yours. But if in the
quiet of home life a daughter by her
Christian demeanor, a wife by her in
dustry, a mother by her faithfulness, casts
a vote in the right direction, then nothing
can resist it, and the influence of that vote
will throb through the eternities.
My chief anxiety then, is not that wom
an have other rights accorded her, but
that she, by the grace of God, rise up to
the appreciation of the glorious rights she
already possesses. This morning I shall
only have time to speak of one grand and
all-absorbing right that every woman has,
and that is to make home happy. That
realm no one has ever disputed with her.
Men may come home at noon or at night,
and they tarry a comparatively little
while; but she ail d-ay long governs it,
beautifies it, sanctifies it. It is w ithin her
power to moke it the most attractive place
on earth. It is the only calm harbor in
this outside world, and the business world
is a long scene of jostle and contention.
The man who has a dollar struggles to
keep it; the man who has it not struggles
to get it. Brices up, prices down,
losses, gains, misrepresentations, goug
ings, underselling, buyers’ depre
ciating, salesmen exaggerating, tenants
seeking less rent, landlords demanding
more, gold fidgety, struggles about office,
men who are in trying to keep in, men out
trying to get in, slips, tumbles, defalca
tions, panics, catastrophes. O woman !
thank God you have home, and that you
may be queen in it.
Better be there than wear Victoi ia’s cor
onet. Better be there than eat ry the purse of
a princess. Your abode may f -humble, but
you can, by your faith in G id, and your
cheerfulness of demeanot gild it with
splendors such as an upb .. terer’s hand
never yet kindled. There an- abodes in
the city—humble, two stone- : four plaiu,
unnapered rooms; undesirai e neighbor

rather than surrender it. Why?

he sees angels of God hovering around if.
The ladders of Heaven are let doe n to
that house. Over the child's rough crib
there are the chanting* of angels, as those
that broke oTer Bethlehem. It i* home.
These children may com# up after awhile,
and they may win high position, and they
may hare an affluent residence; but they
will not until their dying day forget that
humble roof under which their father
rested, and their mother sang, and their
sisters played, 0, if you would gather up
all tender memories, and the lights and
shades of the heart, all banqueting* and
reunions, all filial, fraternal, paternal and
j conjugal affections, and you bad only just
four letters with which to spell out that
| height and depth, and length, and hroadth,
and magnitude, ami eternity of meaning,
you would, with streaming eyes, and
trembling voices, aud agitated hand, write
It out in those four living Captals, home.
What right d> >es woman want that is
I grander than to be queen in such a realm?
I Why, the eagles of Heaven can not tty
across that dominion. Horses, panting
and with lathered flanks, are not swift
! enough to run to the outpost f that realm.
I They say that the sun never sets upon the
, English empire; but I have to tell you that
on this realm of woman's influenceeternlty
1 never marks any bound. Isabella fled
from the Spanish throne pursued by the
nation’s anathema: but she who i- queen
in a home will never lose her throne, and
death itself will only be the annexation of
; heavenly principalities.
When you want to get your giandest
; idea of a queen, you do not think of Cath
erine of Russia, or Anne of England, or
Marie Thersa of Germany; but when!
you want to get your- grandest i
idea of a queen, you think of [
the plain woman who sat
1 opposite vour father at the table, or w alked
with him arm iu arm down life’s pathway:
sometimes to the thanksgiving banquet,
sometimes to the grave, but always to
gether—soothing your petty griefs, cor
recting your childish waywardness, join
ing iu your infantile s]>orts, listening to
your evening prayers, toiling for you with
needle, or at the spinning-w heel, and on
cold nights wrapping you up snug and
warm. And then at last on that day when
‘u ' >ii ‘uo i ’ a eg i wui u » ilk.. nmi » vu
saw her lake those thin bauds with which
she toiled for you so long, and put them to
gether in a dying prayer that commended
von to the God whom she taught you to
trust—O, she was the queen 1 The chariots
of God came down to letch her: and as she
went in all heaven rose up. You can not
think of her now w ithout a rush of tender
ness that stirs the deep foundations of
your Soul, and you feel as
much a child again as when you
cried on her lap; and if you could bring
her back again to speak just on, e more
your name, as tenderly us she used to
speak it, y ou would be w illing to throw
yourself on the ground and kiss the sod
that covers her, erviug, “Mother!
mother!” Ah, she was the queen—she was
the queen. Now, can you tell me how
many thousand miles a woman like that
would have to travel down before she got
to the ballot-box? Compared with this
work of training kings and queens for
God and eternity, how insignificant
seems all this work of voting for aldermen,
and common councilmeu, and sheriffs, and
constables, and mayors, and presidents.
To make such a grand woman as i have
described, how ninny thousands
would you want of those people
who go in the round of godlessuess, and j
fasbiou, and dissipation, distorting I
their body until in their monstros- j
ities they seem to outdo the dromedary !
and hippopotamus! going as far toward j
disgraceful apparel as they dare go, so as ;
not to be arrested of the police—their be
haviour a sorrow to the good audacai
icature of the vicious, and an in~i.lt to
that God w ho made them women and not
gorgous; and tramping on, down through
a frivolous and dissipated life, to temporal
and eternal damnation.
O, womun, w ith the lightning of your
soul, strike dead at your fe-t all tb--e al
lurements to dissipation and to fashion.
Your immortal soul can nut be fed upon
such garbage. God calls you up to empire
and dominion. IViil you have it? 0, give
to God your heart; give to God y our la st
energies; give to God all your culture, give
to God all your retinenient: give yourself
to him for this world and ttie next.
Soon all these bright eyes will )»-j
quenched, and these voices w ill 1-,- hushed.
For the last time you will look upon this
fair earth. Father’s band, mother’s hand,
sister’s hand, child’s hand will be no in >re
in yours. It will be night, and there will
come u)i a cold w ind from the .Iordan, and
you must start. Will it be h Ion-* woman

TO THR SOUTH POLE.
D«n|.ra of A lo.n. of Exploration I,
tli, Antarctic Nona
The same dreaming spirit of disc very—
the "homesickness lor strange s-*as,” it
bus teen called—which Oiled Columbus
has alw ays insp.ro i the Swedish explorer

about to un lertake a new journey, not
this t me toward the North Foie, but to
te ai-d the South Foie, which Is ouite a*
much a mystery as the North, and even
further from the ground which has been
explore l and h now known.
A voyage of exploration toward the
S u h Foie is more perilous than one in tha
Arctic region. The Antarctic seas are
much less v sited than the Arctic, There
are no E-q i.mau natives, whose help may
be depended upon. Toward the North Pole
tt-.ere are points established well known
to nav.gators, where provisions may be
left, with some assurance that the ice
lound explorer may reach them There it
litlie in the Antarctic polar region except
a wi domes* of ice. The explorer must
depend absolutely upon his ship. If that
is crushed in the ice. there ia no help for
him. Even if the survivors of such a
wre k were to succeed, after dreadful fa
tigues ui.d sufferings, in reaching the
open sea, they could hope to find no rescu
ing sail. Below the line of the seal fisher
ies there is noth ng to bring a ship intc
those deserted seas.
>o hope of treasure leads tne command
er or the men of such au expedition to risk
li e r lives, as was the case with the sail
ors of Columbus, and as might have been,
to s. me extent, with their commander.
NorUensnjold sets out for the Antartic
Ocean knowing that lie can not expect to
hud wealth there, and Ids men have little
to attract t'.o m except a little m-.re than
the ordinary pay for seamen, and the do
e ro to do a brave an 1 worthy deed. Their
leader is one of a class of men, not few in
modern times, and no less heroic than the
adventurers of old, who are wdling to lay

LONDON’S VOCABULARY.

it will interest anglomaniaca to know
that, in London, one never speaks of the
coaches of the four-in-han 1 club, but the
‘‘drag-;” that one bu) s ‘coals" but ne^ci
coal, und that he purchases the' necessary |

treads tin- ‘‘pavement” und not the side
walk. American women go shopping at
the •'stores," tut their English cousins
shop at "shops,” the term "stores" be.ng
reserved ior the big co-operative eslab

any thin-’ from a paper of pins to au ele
phant. In happy m mory of Sir E bTt
Pee., who created “the force,” a police
man is a "bobby” or a "peeler." A crack
er becomes a ‘‘biscuit’’ at a London table,
and at a party the youthful beaux and
telles toy with “crackers" Instead
of bonbons. They also eat ‘‘sweets"
instead of candy. It is worthy oi
notice that a ‘‘four-wheeler" means a
four-wheeled cub, and that the term is !
never, by any chance, applied to any oth r
kind of a four-wheeled vehicle. The afore
said cab is also a "growler,” although'
tt.is pet name would fitly belong to the !
luckless passenger who, in a misguided
moment, entrusts himself to one of these

but of the " railway.” nor of the cars, but
of the “train.” One "books seats" at
the “ rad way station " und at the theater; 1
he never buys tickets. One never speaks
of a "team” unless he means horses in

The treatment of many thousands of ease*
of those chronic weaknesses nud distressing
aliments peculiar to females, at the Invalid**
Hotel and Surgical Institute, Buffalo, N. Y-,
has afforded a vast experience in nicely adapt
ing and thornugnly testing remedies for tlia
cure of woman's peculiar maladies.
I»r. Fierce** Favorlle t*re«crlptlotl
Is the outgrowth, or result, of this great and
valuable experience. Thousands of testimo
nials, received from patients and from physi
cians who have tested it in the more aggra
vated and obstinate eases which had baffled
their skill, prove it to be the most wonderful
remedy ever devised for the relief and cure of
suffering women. It is not recommended as a
"cure-all,” but as a most perfect Specific for
woman's peculiar ailments.
As u powerful, invigoratlng tonic,
it impurts 6tremrtn to tho whole system,
and to the womb and its appendages in
particular. For overworked, •’worn-out,” |
*• run-down,” debilitated teachers, milliners,
dressmakers, seamstresses, “shop-girls," house. j
keepers, nursing mothers, and feeble women ]
generally, Ur. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription
is tho greatest earthly boon, being unequaled i
as an appetizing cordial and restorative tonic. !
A* a soothing amt strengthening
nervine, "Favorite Prescription” Is une
qualed and is Invaluable in allaying and sub
duing nervous excitability, irritability, ex
haustion, prostration, hysteria, spasms aud
other distressing, nervous symptoms com
monly attendant upon functional and organic
disease of the womb. It induces refreshing
sleep and relieves mental anxiety aud de
spondency.
Ur. Fierce’* Favorite Prescription
I* a legitimate medicine, carefully
compounded by an experienced and skillful
physician, and adapted to woman's delicate
organization. It is purely vegetable in its
composition and perfectly harmless In it#
effects in any oondition of tho system. Fot
morning sickness, or nausea, from wbatevei
cause arising, weak stomach, indigestion, dys
Sepsia and kindred symptoms, its use, iu small
OSes, will prove very beneficial.
“ Favorite Prescription ” I* a pnsl,
tlve euro for tho moat complicated and ob
stinate eases of leueorruea, excessive flowing,
painful menstniatlou, unnatural suppressions,
prolapsus, or falling of the womb, weak back,
" female weakuess, anteversion, retroversion,
bearing-down sensations, chronic congestion,
inflammation and ulceration of fhe womb, in
flammation, pain and tenderness iu ovaries,
i accompanied with “ internal heat.”
A* a regulator aud promoter of func
tional action, at that critical period of change
from girlhood to womanhood, “ Favorite Pre
scription” is a perfectly safe remedial uvout,
and can produce only good results. It is
equally efficacious and valuable in its effects
when taken for those disorders and derange
ment* Incident to fliut later and most critical
period, known as “ The Change of Life.”
“ Favorite Prescript toil,” when taken
in connection with tho use or I>r. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery, and small laxative
doses of Dr. Pierce's Purgative Pellets (Little
Liver Pills), cures Liver, Kidney and Bladder
diseases. Their combined use also removes
blood taints, and abolishes cancerous and
scrofulous humors from the system.
“Favorite Prescription ” is the only
medicine for women, sold by druggists, under
a positive ftuarantoe, from the manu
facturers, that it will give satisfaction In every
ease, or money will bo refunded. This guaran
tee has been printed on the bottle-wrapper,
and faithfully carried out for many years.
