Dr. Talmagre Discourses On an Every Day Topic wnat Can lie Learned From Our Great Business Thoroughfares All Equal In the Street- Tlie World of the Future. In a recent sermon at. Brooklyn Dr. Talruage took for bin Mil-Joel: "The CitT Streets." His text was: "Wlmlom crietta without; pho itttereth her voice In the streets." Proverbs I. 20. He said! YTsare all ready to listen to the voioesof nature the voices of I ho mountain, the voices of the sea, the voices of the storm, the voices of the star. As In some of the cathedrals in Europe there is an ore-an at Itber end of the building, and the one instrument responds musically to the other, so In the great cathedral of nature day responds to dav, and night to night, And flower to fl wer. and star to star, In the great harmonies of the universe. The springtime Is en 'evangelist In blossoms preaching of Gid' love; and the winter prophet white bearded denounolng ' woe against oursins. We are all ready to listen to the voices of nature; but how few of us learn anv thing from the voloes of the noisy and dusty street You go to ' your merchandise, your mechanism, and to your work, and you come back agnb and often wlih an Indifferent heart you . pass through the slree's. Are there no things for ns to learn from these pavements over which we passf Are there no tuits of troth growing up between these cobblestones, beaten with the feet of toll, and psin. and pleasure, and the slow trend of old age, and the quick step of childhood? Aye, there are great harvests to be reaped; and now I thrust In the sickle because the harvest is ripe. "Wisdom rrleth without; she utter th her voice in the streets." In the first place the street impresses me with the fact that this life is a scene of toll and struggle. By ten o'clock every . day the city Is Jarring with wheels, and shuffling with feet, and humming with voices, and covered with the breath of smokestacks and srush with traffickers. Once In awhile you And a man going along with folded arms and with leisurely step, as tbongb be- bad nothing to do; bnt for the "' most part, as you find men going down' these streets, on the way to business, there is anxiety in their faoes, as though they had some errand whloh most be executed at the first possi ble moment. Yon are joitled by those who have bargains to make and notes to sell. Up this ladder with a hod of bricks, ont of this bank with a roll of bills, on this dray with a load of goods, digging a cel lar, or shingling a roof, or shoeing a borse, or building a wall, or mending a watch, or binding a book. - Industry, with her thou sand arms, and thousand eyes, and thon and feet, goes on singing her song of work! work I work I while the mills drum It, and the steam whistles fife it All this Is not because men love toil. Some one remarked: "Every man is as lazy es be can afford to be." But it Is because neces sity, with stern brow and with uplifted whip, stands over them ready whenever they relax their toll to make their shoul ders sting with the lash. Can it "be that. passing up and down these streets on yonr way to work and business, you do not learn any thing of the world's toil, and anxiety, and struggle? ,,0, bow many" drooping hearts, bow many eyse on the watch, how many miles traveled, bow many burdens parried, bow . many losses suffered, bow many battles . (ought, how many viotories gained, bow many defeats suffered, how many exas peratlons endured what losses, what hunger, what wretchedness, what pallor, what disease, what agony, what despair, Sometimes 1 bave stopped at the corner of the street as the multitude went nil her and yon, it has seemed to be a great pan tomlme. and as I looked upon it my heart broke. This great tide of human life that goes down the street 1 1 a rapid, tossed and turned aside, and dashing ahead and driven bark beaut ful In its confusion and confused in Its beauty. In the car peted aisles of the forest, in the woods from wbicn the eternal shadow is never - lifted, on the shore of the sea over whose Iron coast tosses the tangled foam, sprinkling the cracked cliffs with a baptism of whirlwind and tempest is the best place to study Ood; but In the rushing, swarming, rav Ing street la the best place to study man. . Going down to your place of business and coming borne again, 1 charge you look about see these slgna of poverty, of wretchedness, of hunger, cf sin, of be reavementand as you go through the streets and come back through the streets, gather up In the arms of your p: aver all the sorrow, all the losses, all tbe suffer ing, all the bereavements of those whom you pass, and present them in prayer be fore an all sympathetic Ood. Then in the great day of eternity there will be thou sands of persons with whom you in this world never exchanged one word who will raise np and call you blessed; and ' there will be a thousand fingers pointed at you In Heaven, raying; "That is the man, that Is tbe woman, who helped me when I was hungry, and sick, and Wan ."' dering, and lost and heart-broken. That is the man, that is the woman," and the blessing wilt come down upon yon as . Christ shall say: ' I wss hungry and ye fed me, I was naked and ye clothed me. I was sick and in prison and ye visited me: Inasmuch as 7 did it to these poor waifs Of the streets, ys did it to me. " gain, the street Impresses me with the tact that all classes and conditions of so clety mast commingle. We sometimes culture a wicked exclusiveness. Intellect despises Ignorance. Refinement will I ave nothing to do with bnorisbness Qloves hate tbe sunburned band, and the high forehead despises tbe flat head; and tbe trim hedgerow will bave nothing to do with tbe wild copsewood. and Athens hates Nataretb. This ought not to be so. The astronomer must come down from his tarry revelry and help ns in our navlga - tion. Tbe surgeon must come away from ' bis study of tbe human organism and set oar broken bones. The chemist must come away from his laboratory, where be bas . been studying analysis and synthesis, and help as to understand tbe nature of tbe soil I bless Ood tbat all classes of peo ple are compelled to meet on the street The glittering coach wheel clashes against tbe scavenger's cart. Fine robes run against tbe peddler's pack. Every class . of people meets every other class. Inde pendence and modesty, pride and humili ty, purity and beastliness, frankness and byiocrisy, meeting on the same block. In tbe same street in tbe sameclty. Ol tbat Is what Solomon meant when be said: "The rich and the poor meet together; th Lord Is the Maker of them all." I like this democratic prln- dole of tbe gospel of Jesus Christ which teoognlass thi fi.ot that we stand before Ood on one tnd the sntno platform. Do not take on any airs; whatever portion rou have earned in society, you are noth ing but a man, born of tbe same paront, regenerated by the same Kpii it, cleansed by the same blood, to lie down in the same dust, to get np In tbe sanio resurrec tion. It is hish time that we all nennowi edged not only the fatherhood of Ood, but the brotherhood of man. Again, the street impresses me with tn fact tbat it Is a very bard tiling for a man to keen bis heart right and to get to Heaven. Infinite temptutions spring upon ns from these places of public concourse. mid so much s ffl none how much tmpta. tion to covet lUMiess. ami to be dlxcon bnUH ivlth mi- tuinilila lot. Amid SO many opportunities for overreaching, what temptation to vanity. Amid somnny saloons of strong drink, what allurement to dissipation. In the maelstroms of tbe street, how many make quick and eternal shipwreck. If a man ot war comes back from a battle, ami la towed into the navy yard, we go down to look at the splintered pars and count tbe bullet boles, and look with patriotic admiration on the flag tbat floated In victory from the nintliead. But . that man is more of a curiosity who has gone through thirty years of tbe sharp shooting of business life, and yet sails on, victor of the temptations of tbe street. Ot bow many bave gone down under tne pressure, leaving not so much as the patch of canvas to tell where they perished. They never bnd any pence. Their dishon esties kept tolhng In th"ir eir. If 1 h id 'an ax and could split open the b"ni of ht fine house perhaps I would (lnd in tetrx4eaxt 9t it skeleton, J Uf TSOT THE best wine there 1 a smack of tbe poor man's sweat Ol is it strange that when a man hns devoured widows' houses he Is disturbed with IndigeHtionf All the forces of nature are against him. The floods are ready to drown him anil the earthquake to swallow him and the fire to consume him and the lightnings to smite him. But the children of Ood are on every street, and in the day when tbe crowns of Heaven are distributed some of the brightest will be given to those men wbo were faithful to Ood and faithful to the souls of others amid tbe marts of business, proving them selves the heroes of the street Mighty were their temptations, mighty was their deliverance and mighty shall be their triumph. Again, the street impresses me wltn tne fact that life is full of pretensions and sham. What subterfuge, what double dealing, what two facednesst Do all the people wbo wish you good morning really hope for you a happy dayf Do all the people who shake hands love each other? Are all those anxious about your neaitn who Inquire concerning it? Do all want to see you who ask you to call? Does all the world know half as much as It pre tends to know? Is there not many a wretched stock of goods with a brilliant nhow window? Passing up and down these streets to your business and your work are you not im pressed with tbe fact that much of society is hollow and that these are subterfuge and pretensions? O, bow many are there who swagger and strut, and how rew people who are natural and walk. While fops simper, and fools chuckle, and simpletons giggle, bow few people are natural and laugh. The courtesan and tbe libertine go down the street In beauti ful apparel, while wlthn the heart there are volcanoes of passion consuming their life away. I say these things not to create in you incredulity and misanthropy, nor do 1 forget there are thousands of peoples great deal better than they seem; but I do not think any man is prepared for the conflict of this life until he knows this particular peril. Ehud comes pre tending to pay his tax to King Kglon, and while he stands in front of the King, stabs liim through with a dagger until the baft went in after the blade. Judas Isoariot kissed Christ Again tbe street impresses me with the fact that it Is a great field for Christian charity. There are hunger and suffering, and want and wretchedness In the coun try; but these evils chiefly congregate in our great cities. On every street crime prowls, and drunkenness staggers, and shame winks, and paupeiism thrusts out its band asking for alma. Here want is most squalid and hunger is most lean. A Christian man going along a street in New Tork saw a poor lad and lie stopped and said: "My boy, do you know bow to read and write?" Tbe boy made no answer. The man asked the question twice and thrice: "Can you read and write?" and then tbe boy an swered with a tear plashing on the back of his hand. He said in defiance: "No, Ir; I can't read nor write either. Ood, ir, don't want me to read and write. Didn't He lake away my father so long ago I never remember to have aeen him? and haven't I had to go along the atreet to get something to fetch borne to eat for the folk? and didn't I as soon as I could carry a basket have to go out and pick up cinders and never have no schooling, sir? Ood don't want me to read, sir. I can't read nor write neither." O, these poor wanderers I They have no chance. Born in degiadation, as they get up from their hands and knees to walk tbey take their first step on the road to despair. Let us go forth in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ to rescue them. If you are not willing to go forth yourself then give of your means; and if you are too lasy to go and too stingy to help then get out of the way and hide yourself in the dens and oaves or the earth, leBt when Christ's chariot comes along the hordes' hoofs trample you into the mire. Be ware lest tbe thousands of tbe destitute of your city In tbe last great day rise up and curse your stupidity and your neglect One cold winter's day as a Christian man was going along trie tint tery in New Tork be saw a little girl seat. ed at tbe gate shivering in tbe cold. He said to her: "My child, what do you sit there for this cold day?" "O'she replied, "I am waiting for somebody to come and takecaieof ma" "Why," said the man, what makes you think anybody will come and take care of you?" "O," she said, "my mother died last week and I was cry ing very much, and she said: 'Don't cry, my dear, though I am gone and your father is gone the Lord will send some body to take care of you.' My mother never told a He; she said somebody would come and take care of me and I am wait ing for them to come." O, yes, they are waiting for you. Men of great hearts gather them in, gather them in. It is not tbe will of your Heavenly Father that one of these little ones should perish. Lastly, tbe street impresses me with the fact that all tbe people are looking forward. I see expectancy written on every face I meet between here and Brooklyn bridge, or walking the whole length of Broadway. Wben you Bud a thousand people walking straight on, you only find one man slopping and looking back. The fact is, Ood made us all to look ahead because we are immortal In this tramp of tbe multitude on tbe streets, I bear the tramp of a great host, march. ing and marching for eternity. Beyoud tbe office, tbe store, tbe shop. there Is a world, populous iind tremendous. Through God's grace, may you reach, that blessed place. A great throng fills 'hose boulevard and the streets are arush with the conquerors. The inhabitants go up and down, but they never weep and they never toil. A river flowi through that citv, with rounded and luxurious batiks. and trees of life laden with everlasting fruitage bend their branches to dip tbe crystal. No plumed hoarse rattles over that pavement, for they are never sick. With immortal health glowing in every vein they know not how to die. Those towers of strength, those palaces of beanty. gleam in the light of a on that never sets. O, .Heaven, beautiful Heaven I Heaven, where our friends are. The'- take no census in tbat city, for It is inhabited by a "mult'tud which no man cau number." Rank above rank. Host above bost Oallery above gallery, sweeping all round the heavens Thousands of thousands. Millions of mil lions. Blessed are they who enter In through tbat gate into tbat oily. O. start for it to-day. Through the blood of the great sacrifice of tbe Hon of Ood, take up your march to Heaven. "The Spirit and tbe Bride say come, and whosoever will, let him come and take of the water of life freely." Join this great throng marching Heavenward. All tbe doors of invitation are open. And I saw twelve gates, ana there were twelve pearls." NEWSPAPER WAIFS. Or.nr Wilde will not edit Woman's World after September. Now is Ihe hue to subscribe.- Lite.

's visit to England, spoko of him throughout as tho "Emperor of fiermany;" "M. P." wrote to the Times to rail attention to thi9 fact, and to ask for explanations, and tho explanations are to-day pro vided by its Berlin anil Brussels corre spondents. Ceruinn Emperor" is right, of course, and really it should not bo very difllcull to remember tho fact, when tho origin of tho present German Empire is taken into account. The head of the old German Empiro based his title, to a large extent, upon territorial right. But the modern head of tho Germans bases his pre eminence upon no considerations savo those laid down in tho Imperial Con stitution. In 1871 tho other German nationalities were much too jealous of tho Prussians to restore the old empire for tho benefit of their King. Instead they raised up a new empire, and gave its head a new title, as a standing memorial of the various forces which brought it into being. William 11. is "German Emperor": it Is possible that ho would liko to bo "Emperor of Germany ;" but while ho may long retain the former title, ho is hardly likely ever to gain tho latter.

Threo stories woro told over after- dinner clears tho other iliiy, tihowinir the power of a man s will, tlno was of a young officer in the English army who was peeulisirly Htuhliorn and irascible. Ho liad been con lined to his bed after a severe attack of tho heart and was unable to move. His physi cian asked one of his fellow-oll'icers to warn him that he would never jet out of bed again, that lie might, iirrnngo his affairs before death. When tha sick man was told what t he doctor had said ho aroso in bed excitedly and said: I will never get up again, eh? J will walk to tho doctor my pel f and nhow him." He jumped to the Hour, walked across tho room and fell dead. Tho other was about a sheriff out West, who, when arresting a man, was stabbed through tho heart. He seized the man by tho shoulders, aftor tho blade had stuck him, pressed him to the ground, drew his revolver and de liberately thrusting it down tho strug gling prisoner's throat, pulled tho trigger at tho instant ho himself died. The third story was regarding an other onleer who was hunting down a thief. Tho man thought, lie had given his pursuer tho slip, but just its he en tered one door of a railroad car the of ficer appeared in the other. The thief instantly fired, the bullet penetrating his pursuer b brain. J he ullicer, how- ever, returned the shot, liringing his1 man to the ground. He then dragged himself along the aisle of tho ear. firing as he crawled, until his revol ver whs empty. Ho was dead when ho was picked up, a second after ho ceased to shoot. Boston tia.etto.
