SERMONS OF THE DAY. RELIGIOUS TOPICS DISCUSSED BY PROMINENT AMERICAN MINISTERS. The Ninth of the New York Herald's Com petitive Sermons Is Entitled "Sun shine, But a Ctoml; ft Cloud, Hut Sun shine"— I»r. Talmage on Club Evils. ' TEXT: "He was a mighty man in valor, but he was a Joper."—ll Kings v., 1. Over every human lifo, however bright the sunshime, a cloud may come. Evory person covets what he chooses to consider success; some riches, some fame, some pleasure, some domestic felicity. No one, however, realizes all his ambitions—in deed, not all are worth realizing. Tliere is always a something which mars happiness possibilities of anguish in every condition, spots weaker than others in the strongest bar of steel, the capability of tnrnisli in the purest gold, spots on the sun. A per son's weaknesses—consequently his sources of suffering—may lie just beside his strong est traits of character. Ho may bo honest, but over exacting; strong-willed, but obsti nate; economical, but penurious; just, but unmerciful; courageous, but censorious; affectionate, hut passionate. Unselfishness inay sharpen daggers that pierce the heart, and intensity of affection may be a pledge of keenest pangs. A person, it may be, acquires riches, but health is gone, or domestic happiness has taken departure, or waters of grief are flooding the soul. Pre-eminently success ful along some lines, lie is conspicuously ■unsuccessful nlong others. It takes but littlo to render a person miserable: it takes much to render some happy. As it needs only a trifle to prevent wealth from pro ducing contentment, is it a mark of wis dom to sacrifice for its acquisition that which is of more value—health, comfort, reputation, character, principle, con science—the hope of an eternal world? "A man's life consisteth not in the abundance of the things he possesseth." Does the river consist in the drift wood it is carrying to the ocean? "Fine feathers make fine birds," but a flne residence and a fine equipage are not capable of always making the heart merry. Of those who covet fame, some win the prize; but cares increase, responsibilities augment, disappointments multiply and ar rows of envy become keener and more numerous. He who courts publlo favor courts a fickle damsel, one who, disquali fied to bestow happiness, may flatter little ness and condemn greatness. In history there are few sadder chapters than those which record the cares, worries and re verses of some who acquired prominence. Moses was a mighty man, but ho was <lrlven into exile, and sleeps in an unknown grave. Elijah was a rare specimen of true greatness, but Ahab's folly and Jezebel's hatred came near driving him to suicide. Daniel was a great man. but for his pe culiar species of greatness. Nebuchadnez zar thought a lion's den the fittest place. Isaiah was a man of rare strength of char acter, but Manasseh laid him between two planks and sawed him in twain. Such as desire to see the emptiness of human greatness would do well to read the biographies of the kings, sixty in number, who during six hundred years ruled the Eastern Itoman empire, its capital Con stantinople, and they may be inclined to thank God that they are permitted to live in obscurity. To some politicians we might say. "Thv god. O sycophant, hath cast thee off"—and there are more to follow in Greater New York and boss ridden Phila delphia, men in the sunshlneof prosperitv, but leprous all over. I tthoScriptur.il ad monition, "Be humble," unworthy of no tice? The man who i\ on his back in the cellar can get no Icwer—one thing for ■—\sfelch ffl&y lie thankful. The man on the housetop tnay grow dizzy and, falling, may suddenly terminate his exalted career. Most persons' desire to be on the mountain fcummit- few prefer the valley, though the winds are less llcrce and the storms less violent. On every human life, however dark the everlasting cloud, there maybe sunshine. It is never so dark that it can be no darker. Discouragements nro never BO many that there are no grounds for thankfulnoss. A cloud on every pathway, and sunshine pos sible in every heart. A burden on evory life, and no soul that may not thrill with joy. A crook in every lot, and no crook so tortuous that it may not end In celestial bliss. No trial without its alleviations. Poverty Inspires energy, fosters self-reli ance, prompts to industry and teaches us to prize the blessings we have without mur muring over those we have not. 111-health forces attention to tho laws of health, sweetens the disposition and directs atten tion to the nearness of eternity's curtain. Bereavements have their alleviating com pensations. Obscurity has its special ad vantages. Physical disabilities have their compensations. The deaf are saved from hearing much that is better never heard. The blind can see no frowns. The cripple Is excused from running errands. The per son who cannot read is delivered from the temptation to read the account of the Inst football game, tho last pugilistic encoun ter, the most recent testimony in tho Nack- Thorn trial and the pious gush emitted in prison walls over criminals. It is well to observe thut each person's lot, all things considered, is not widely dif ferent from that of others. The mountain has both rocks and sunshine; the valley floods as well as waving harvests. The eyes that shed tears can beam love. JOSEPHS. VAN DYKE, D.D., rnstor Presbyterian Church, Glassboro, . N. J. CLUB EVILS. Moral Lessons Drawn by the Rev. Dr. Talinage. TEXT: "Let the young men now arise and play before us."—ll Sam. 11., 14. There are two armies encamped by tho pool of Gibeon. The time hangs heavily on their hands. One army proposes a game of sword-fencing. Nothing could be more healthful and innocent. The other army accepts the challenge. Twelve men against twelve men.ihe sport opens. But some thing went adversely. Perhaps one of the swordsmen g|jt an unlucky clip, or in some way had U'.S ire aroused, and that which Opened in sportfulness ended in violence, each one taking his contestant by the hair, and then with the sword thrusting him in the side; so that which opened in innocent fun ended in the massacre of all tho twen ty-four sportsmen. Was there ever a bet ter illustration of what was true then, and is true now, that that which is innocent may be made destructive? At this seoson'of the year the club-houses of our towns and oities are in full play I have found out that there is a legitimate and an illegitimate use of the club-house, in the one cose it ir.ay become a Thealtlifui recreation, like the contest of the tweniv four men in the text when they began their play; in the other case it beoomes the mas sacre of body, mind and soul, as in the case of these contestants of the text when they had gone too far with their sport.

Let us hasten up, now the marble stairs. What an impeflkl hall'»«vl On this side there are reading-rooms ' Tines y o„ n oWß Papers and maga^ ziaes. On that side there is a llh-«Vir where you find all books, from hermf' lieutlca to the fairytale. Coming inanJ out there are men, some of whom wtftv ten thMe are°from S | Btay 112' lny 1 hourß - Some of these are from luxurious homes, aud they have excused themselves for n whllo from the domestic circle that they may enjoy the larger sociability of the club-house. These are from dismembered households, and they have a plain lodging somowhere, but they come to this club-room to have their chief enjoyment. One blackball amid ten votes will defeat a man's becom ing a member. For rowdyism, for drunk enness, for gambling, for any kind of misdemeanor, a member is dropped out. Brilliant club-house from top to bottom. The chandeliers, tho plate, the furniture, the companionship, the literature, the social prestige, a complete enchantment. But the evening is passing on.and so wo hasten through the hall and down the steps and into tho street, and from block to block until wo come to another style of club-house. Opening the door, we flnd the fumes of strong drink and tobacco, some thing almost intolerable. These young mon at this table, it is easy to understand what they are at, from the flushed cheek, the intent look, the almost angrv way of tossing the dice, or of moving the "chips." They are gambling. At another table are men who are telling vile stories. They am three-fourths Intoxicated, and between 12 and 1 o'clock they will go staggering, hooting, swearing, shouting on their way home. As the hours of the night go away, the conversations becomes imbecile nnd more debasing. Now it is time to shut up. Those who are able to stand will got out on the pavement and balance themselves against the lamppost, or against tho railings of the fenco. The young man who is not able to stand will havo a bed improvised for him in the elubhouse, or two not quite so ovorcome with liquor will conduct him to his father's house, and tliev will ring the door boll, and the door will open, and the two imbecile escorts will introduce into the hallway tho ghastliest and most hellish spectacle that ever enters a front door—a drunken son. But I make a vast difference between clubs. I have belonged to four clubs: A theological club, a ball club, and two liter ary clubs. I got from them physical reju venation and moral health. What shall b» the principle? If God will help me, I will lay down throe principles by which you may judge whether the club whore you are a member, or the club to which you have been Invited, Is u legitimate or an Illegiti mate clubhouse. First of all, I want you to test the club by its Influences on'homo, if you have a home. I have been told by a prominent man in club life that three-fourths of the members of the great clubs of theso cities aro married men. That wife soon loses her lcfluenco over her husband who nervously and foolishly looks upon all evening f.bsence as an nssault on domesticity. How aro the great enterprises of art and litera ture and beneficence and public weal to he carried on if every man is to have his world bounded on one side by his front doorstep, and on tho other side by his back window, know' -uiothing higher than his own attic, ot \inar lowor than his own cellar? That'' % who becomes jealous of her husband jntlon to art or literature, or religion, C is break ing her own scepter Vjugal power. Let any Christian wife*; IBe when her husband consecrates V %gs to tho servico of God. or to chi Vor to .irt, or to anything elevated: b» . /et not men sacrifice home lifo to club life. I can point out to you a great many names of men who are guilty of this sacrilege. They aro as genial as angels at the club-house, and as ugly as sin at homo. They are generous on all subjects of wine suppers, yachts aud fast horses, but they are stingy about the wife's dress nnd the children's shoes. That man has made that which might be a healthful recreation an usurper of his affec tions, nnd he has marrlod it, and ho is guilty of moral bigamy. Another test by which you can flnd whether your club is legitimate or illegiti mate—the effect it has on your secular oc cupation. I can understand how through such nn institution a man can reach com mercial successes. I linow some men have formed their best business relations through such a channel. If tie club has advantaged you in an honorable calling it <s a legitimate club. But has your credit failed? Are bar gain-makers more cautious how they trust you with a bill of goods? Have the men whose names were down in the commercial agency A1 before they entered the club, been going down ever since ia commercial standing? Then look out! You and I every day know of commercial establish ments going to ruin through tho social ex cesses of one or two members. A third test by which you may know whethertheelubto which you belong, or the club to whose membership you are Invited, Is a legitimate club or an illegitimate club, is this: What is the effect on your sense or moral and religious obligations? Now,here are two roads into the future, the Christian and tho unchristian, the safe and the un safe. An institution or any association that confuses my idea in regard to that fact is a bad institution and a bad associa tion. I had prayers before I joined the club. Did I have them after? I attended tho house of God before I connected myself with the club. Since that union with the club do I absent myself from religious in fluences? Which would you rather have in your hand when you come to die, a pack of cards or a Bible? Who would you rather have for your eternal companions, those men who spend their evening betting, gambling, swearing, carousing and telling vile stories, or your littlo child, that bright girl whom the Lord took? 1 am going to make u very stout rope. You know that sometimes u rope-muker will take very small threads au<l wind them together, until after awhile they beoome ship cables. And lam going to take some very small, delicate threads and wind them together until they make a very stout rope. I will take all thememoriesof tho marriage day, a thread oflaughtor, a thread of light, a thread of music, a thread of banqueting, a thread of congratulation, and I twist them together and I have one strand. Then I take a thread of the hour of the llrst ad vent in your house, a thread of the dark ness that preceded and a thread of the light that followed, and a thread of the beautiful scarf that little child used to wear when she bounded out at eventide to groet you, and then a thread of the beautiful dress in which you laid her away for the resurrec tion. And then I twist nil these throads together aud I havo another strand. Then I take a thread of the 6carlet robe of tho suffering Christ, and a thread of tho white raiment of your loved oiu'9 before the throne, and a string of tho harp cherubio and a string of the harp seraphic, and I twist them all together and I have a third strand. "Oh!" you say, "either strand is strong enough to hold fast a world." No, I will take these strands and I will twist thorn together, and ono end of that rope I will fasten, not to the Communion table, for it sh ill be removed —not to the pillar of the organ; wind it 'round and 'round the cross of a sympathizing Christ, and, having fastened one end of the rope to the cross, I throw the other end to you.

The need of the bath robe is too apparent to require urging, writes Hay Manton. The model shown is comfortable and luxurious at the same COMFORTABLE BATH ROUE. itime that it fits the figure sufficiently to insure satisfactory elfect. The fronts are plain and loose, but tho t)acks aro 'fitted by means of a centre seam and side-back forms which extend to the [edge of the skirt.

It is so formed as to al low of turning up over the head and affords amplo protection against chill. Taitefal Costurao in Stone-Gray. The popular fancy for cloth is exem plified (see large picture) in a stone gray tastefully trimmed with black velvet, worn with a hat of gray and black, and gray gloves. The waist, which makes a grateful change from the blouse, is made over a fitted lin ing that closes at the centre-front and includes smooth-fitting under-arm gores. The handsome vest, which is of velvet embroidered with jet, is at tached to the lining at the right side and hooks over onto the left beneath the cloth front which is invisibly hooked into place. The bretelles, collar and belt are all of velvet made over stiff foundations, add the collar closes at the left side where it is fin ished by frills of black lace. The sleeves are two-seamed and snug to the shoulder where they are finished with small puffs. They we cut in square tabs at the wrists and edged with narrow velvet bands, while frills of laoe fall over the hands. The flare skirt delineates one of the latest styles, - and one that will be popular daring the coming season. The trimming, whioh is velvet to match the bodioe, is cut in bias bands and stitohed along each edge. The upper portion, or deep yoke, is shaped with a front gore that fits closely to the 'figure, Its sides being joined to circular jwrtions that meet in a bias seam at the centTe-baek. Two baokward-turnffhg, over-lapping aide plaits arrange the fulness at the top in such a manner as to completely con ceal the placket formed at the centre baok seam. A two-inch hem finishes the lower edge to which is stitched the flaring lower portion of skirt that is cut in ciroular shape, hemmed and decorated to match the upper portion. Each portion of the skirt should be lined throughout and the hems firmly stitched, the tops of lower portion be ing included in the stitching of the upper hem. Any style of decoration preferredmay be employed, or a doable row of stitching will provide an appro priate finigji in tailor style. Firmly woven textures in serge, cloth, armure, cheviot and other dress fabrics arc commended for skirts in this style. Girls' Frocl; In All-Wool Cheviot. Nothing gives better service for school and general wear than good quality ali-wool cheviot. The useful yet stylish frock here shown is made of the material iu a bright shade of tan with trimming of brown. The simple childish waist is made over a fitted lining to which the full material is attached and which closes at tho centre-back. The plr.stron-shaped trimming of brown cheviot is laid over the upper portion and extonds over the edges of tho full body. Its edges are finished with two bands of straight brown braid within which is a single band in trefoil elfect. The sleeves are one-seamed and comfortably loose without being large. At the neck is a straight standing collar trimmed with braid and showing a narrow '.frill of lace. The wrists are completed with straight cufl's of the brown trimmed iu harmony with the collar. Tho skirt is straight and may be either hemmed or facod. The fullness at the top is ar ranged in gathers and sewed to tho band of brown. The band of cheviot, which makes the decoration, is fin ished with straight and trefoil braid as is the plastron on the waist. To make this frock for a girl of GULLS' PBOCE. eight years will require three yards of forty-four-inoh material with one yard of tho darker color tor trimming. , A Bright Penobucot Indian Olrl. Lucy Nicolar, (laughter of the late Joseph Nicolar of the Penobscot tribe, is an accomplished bicycle rider. She is just coming into her teens, and is a young miss of marked beauty, and wherever she goes with baskets or Indian exhibits many a young Ameri can who looks upon the Indian maiden feels that the land of the Penobscots must be "the land of handsome wom en." Just now Lucy is receiving pri vate instructions that she may enter the Oldtown High School. Her in structor tells me that she is bright in her studies and that mathematics is her forte. Lucy is perhaps the most proficient piano player on the island, being the owner of an instrument. She also sings pleasingly. But the skill of the tribe is not forgotten by this young member, for she can make baskets, etc., as well as some of the older ones. The mother of Lucy is one of the finest-looking members of the tribe, a woman respected by all who know her.—Lewiston (Me.) Jour nal. In the Shame-Faced Land. The seclusion of women in Korea is carried to the utmost limit. Ladies out of doors wear a green mantle which covers the whole countenance expect the eyes. Nor do they willing ly let even their eyes be seen and to avoid meeting a man they will turn into the house nearest at hand. Travelers recount that the women are taught to shun the opposite sex from their earliest girlhood. They are even exhorted to talk as little as may be to their own husbands. What is still more extraordinary is the innate modesty of the men. This sentiment imples them to work in jackets and trousers in the hottest weather; while the richer classes use a kind of bamboo framework to keep the clothes, other wise unbearable, from contact with the skin.

After taking the first box he felt some what better, and after using three boxes, the pains entirely disappeared, the dizzi ness left him and he has now for over at year been entirely froe from all his former trouble and enjoys better health than ho has had since his boyhood.
