THE SUNNY SOUTH TABERNACLE SERMONS. BY KEY. T. DEWITT TALIHACIE. THE GREAT BROOKLYN TABERNACLE NEW YORK. 1854 and 1884. Dr. Talmage’s Sermon. Preached before the G. A. R. on Sunday Evening, May 25,1884, the Sunday immediately preceding Deco ration Day. “And the Lord commanded the angel, and He put np his sword again into the sheath thereof ”—I. Chron. xxi., 27. One day in Davidio times the people looked np and saw against the sky some thing which made the blood cnrdle and the cheek blanch and the breath stop—an angel of overtowering stature, and armed with a sword long and bright ns summer lightning when it cleaves the sky from zenith to hori zon. The broad blade with curved edge pointed toward doomed' Jerusalem. The sheath hung dangling at the side of the great supernatural, the sheath, of course, of such vast proportion as to have held the sword before it was brandished. As long as that uncovered sword was pointed toward Jerusalem havoc and massacre and blood shed went on; but after a while, in answer to the prayers of the people and sacrifices on the threshing-floor of Oman, the angel drew back the sword with the right hand, and seizing the sheath with the left he in serted the sharp point into the mouth of the scabbard, and flnng the sword down deep, nntil the haft of it struck the rim of the scabbard with resound that made the moun tains about Jerusalem tremble. Then the havoc stopped, and the wounds healed, and the former glories of the oity were eclipsed by the splendors subsequent. Hear yon not the clang of sabre and scabbard as they come together in the words of my text ? “And the Lord commanded the angel, and he put up his sword again into the sheath thereof.” Soldiers of the grand army of the Re public ! And soldiers who fought on the other side 1 All one now in kindly brother hood, whether you wore the color that sug gested the gray of the morning sky or the blue of the full noon ! And let no man who, by word or deed, tries to open the old wounds ever offer, either in thiB world or the next, to take my hand ! Hear me while I draw out the contrast between the time when the angel of war stood in the Ameri can sky, pointing his long, keen, cutting, frightful sword toward this, our beloved land, and for four years the nation was in awful hemorrhage, and now when, in an swer to the prayers and sacrifices on ten thousand altars, that angel of war that stood above us hath hurled the bloody scimetar into the scabbard with a clang that made everything from the Canadas to the gulf tremble with gladness. At this season of decoration of the sol diers’ graves, both at the North and South, it is appropriate that I rouse your patriotism and revive your reminiscence, and stir your gratitude by putting 1864 beside 1884. I shall make two circles around these two dates. Around 1864 I shall put a garland of red dahlias for the carnage. Around 18841 shall put a garland of white lilies for the peac. The first I shall crown with a chaplet of cypress. The second date I shall crown with a sheaf of wheat. The one date ajdead march and the other a wedding anthem. Twel\e o’clock at night compared with twelve o’clok at noon. 1. Contrast, first of all, the feelings of sectional enmity in 1864 with the feelings of sectional amity in 1884. At the first date the South had banished the national air, The Star Spangled Banner, and the North had banished the popular air of Way Down South in Lixie. The Northern people were “mudsills,” and the Southern people were “white trash.” The more Southern people were killed in battle the better the North liked it. The more Northern people were killed in battle the better the South liked it. For foar yearn the hond of Abrntmui Liucolu or Jefferson Davis would have been worth §1,000,000 if delivered on the other side of the line. No need now, standing in our pulpits and platforms, of saying that the North and South did not hate each other. The hatred was as long and terrible as the sword the angel of war, standing mid heaven, gripped pointing toward this nation, and then swung closer down till it gashed a grave-trench clear through the quivering heart of the continent. To estimate how very dearly we loved each other, count up the bombshells that were hurled and the oarbines that were loaded, and the cavalry horses that were mounted. North and South facing each other, all armed in the attempt to kill. The two sections not only marshalled all their earthly hostilities, but tried to reach up to get hold of the sword spoken of in the text—the sword of heaven—and the prayer of Northern and Southern pulpits gave more information to the heavens about the best mode of settling this trouble than was ever used. For four years both sides tried to get hold of the Lord’s thunderbolts, but could not quite reach them. At the breaking out of the war we had not for months heard of my dear uncle, Samuel K. Talmage, presi dent of Oglethorpe University in Georgia. He was about the mildest man I ever knew, and as good as good could be. The first we heard of him was his opening prayer in the Confederate Congress in Richmond, which was reported in the New York Herald, which prayer if answered, would, to say the least, have left all his Northern relatives in very uncomfortable circumstances. The ministry at the North prayed one way, and the ministry at the South prayed another way. No use in hiding the fact that the North and South cursed each other with a withering and all-consuming curse. Beside that antipathy of 1864, I place the' complete accord of 1884. Meeting in New York to raise money to build a home at Richmond for crippled Confederate soldiers, the meeting presided over by a man who lost an arm and leg in fighting on the north ern side, and the leg not lost so hurt that it doe3 not amount to much. The cotton ex hibition two years ago at Atlanta, was at tended by thousands of Northern people and by Gen. Sherman, who was greeted with kindness, as though they had never seen him before. The United State Goverment last week voted a million dollars towards a New Orleans exhibition, to be held next De cember, in which every Northern State will be represented. A thousand fold kindlier feeling after the war than before the war. No more use of gunpowder in this coun try, except for Fourth of July pyrotechnics or a shot at a roebuck in the Adirondaoks. Brigadier-generals in the Southern Confed eracy making their fortunes as lawyers in our Northern cities. Rivers of Georgia, Alabama and North Carolina turning the mills of New England capitalists. The old lions of war—Fort Sumter, and Moultrie, and Lafayette, and Pickens, and Hamilton, sound asleep on their iron paws, and in stead of our raising money to keep enemies out of our harbor, raising money for the Bartholdi statue on Bedloe’s Island, the fig ure of Liberty with uplifted torch to light thy way of all who want to come in. In stead of 1864, when you could not cross the line between the contestants without fight ing your way with keen steel, or going through by passes carefully scrutinized at every step by bayonets, you need only a railroad ticket from New York to Charles ton or New Orleans to go clear through, and there is no use for any weapon sharper or stronger than a steel pen. Since the years of time began their roll, has there ever been in two decades such an overmas tering antithesis as between 1864, of com- plete bitterness, and 1884, of complete sym pathy? It is the difference between the archangel of war mid-sky with sword brand ished, and the archangel of war mid-sky with sword scabbarded. Jl* Contrast also the Domestic life of 1864 with the domestic life of 1884. You were either leaving home or far away from it, communicating by uncertain letter. What a morning that was when yon left home! Father and mother crying, sisters orying, yon smiling outside, but crying in side. Everybody nervous and exeited. Boys of the blue and gray! Whether you started from the banks of the Hudson, or the An droscoggin, or the Savannah, don’t you re member the scenes at the front door, at the rail oar window, or the steamboat landing? The huzza could not drown out the sup pressed sadness? Do you not remember those oharges to write home often, and take good care of yourself, and be good boys, and the good-bye kiss which they thought, and you thought, might be forever? Then the homesickness as you paced the river bank on a starlight night on picket duty, and the sly tears you wiped off when you heard a group by a camp-fire singing the plantation song about the “Old folks at home.” The dinner of hard-tack on Thanks giving Day. And the Christmas without any presents, and the long nights in the hospital, so different from the sickness when you were at home, with mother and sisters at the bedside, and the clock in the hall giving the exact moment for the medicine, And that forced march when your legs ached, and your head ached, and your wounds ached, and more than all, your heart ached, Homesiokness which had in it a suffocation and a pang worse than death. You never got hardened as did the guardsman in the Crimean war, who heartlei s’y wrote home to his mother: “I don’t want to see any more crying letters come to the Crimea from yon Those I have received I put into my rifle, after loading it, and have fired them at the Russians, because you appear to have a strong dislike to them. If you had seen as many killed as I have, yon would not have as many weak ideas as you now have.” You never felt like that. When a soldier’s knap sack was found after his death in our Ameri can war, there was generally a careful pack age containing a Bible, a few photographs, and letters from home. On the other band, tens of thousands of homes waiting for news. Parents saying: “Twenty thousand killed! I wonder if our boy was among them?” Fainting dead away in postoffioes and telegraph stations. Both the ears of God filled with the sobs and agonies of kindred waiting for news, or dropping under the announcement of bad news. Speak, swamps of Chickahominy, and midnight lagoons, and fire-rafts on the Mississippi, and gunboats before Vicksburg, and woods of Antietam, and tell to all the mountains, and valleys, and rivers, and lakes of North and South, the jeremiads of 1864 that have never been syllabled! Beside that domestic perturbation and homesiokness of twenty years ago put the sweet domesticity of 1884. Where do you come from to-night? From home. The only camp-fire you now sit at is the one kin dled in stove, or furnace, or hearth. Instead of a half ration of salt pork, a repast luxu rious, because partaken of by loving family circle and in sacred confidences. Oh, now I see who those letters were for, the letters you, the young soldier, took so long in your tent to write, and that you were so particu lar to put in the mail without any one see ing - lest you be teased by your comrades. God spared you to oome back, and though the old people have gone, you have a home of your own construction, and you are here to-night, contrasting those awful absences and filial, and brotherly, and loverly heart breaks with your present residence, which is the dearest place you will find this side of heaven, the place where your children were born and the place where you want to die. To write the figures 1864 I set np four crys tals—crystals of tears; to write the figures 1884 I stand up four members of your house hold-figures of rosy cheeks and flaxen hair, if I can get them to stand still long enough. III. Contrast also the religious opportu nities of twenty years ago with now. Often on the march from Sunday morn till night, or commanded by officers who considered the names of God and Christ of no use ex cept to swear by. Sometimes the drum head the pulpit; and you standing in heat or cold; all the surroundings of military life having a tendency to make you reckless; no privacy for prayer or Bible reading; no sound of church bells; Sabbaths speDt far away from the places where you were brought up. To-day the choice of sanctua ries; easy pew; all Ohristfan surroundings; the air full of God, and Christ, and heaven, and doxology; three mountains lifting them selves into the holy lfght—Mount Sinai thun dering its law, Mount Cavalry pleading the sacrifice, Mount Pisgah displaying the prom ised land. 1864—Thirty-five million inhabitants in this land. 1884—Fifty-five million. 1864—Wheat about eighty million bushels. 1884—The wheat will be about five hundred million bushels. In 1864—Cotton less than three million bales; in 1884 cotton will be more than seven million bales. In 1864— Pacific coast five weeks from the Atlantic; in 1884, for three reasons, Union Pacific, Southern Pacific and Northern Pa cific, only seven days across. Look at the long line of churches, univer sities, asylums and houses with which, during the last two decades, this land has been decorated. Oh, was not this country worth fighting'for? Do not the magnificent prosperities of 1884 compensate for the hardships of 1864 ? Soldiers ! Praise God that He has spared you to see this day, and as you gave your bodies in battle give your souls in peace to God and your country. Living soldiers of the North and South! Take new and especial ordination at this season of the year to garland the sepulchres of your fallen comrades. Nothing is too good for their memories. Turn all the pri vate tombs and the national cemeteries into gardens. Ye dead of Malvern Hill, and Cold Harbor, and Murfreesboro, and Ma nassas Junction, and Cumberland Gap, and field hospital, receive these floral offerings of the living soldiery. IV. Contrast of national condition. 1864— Spending money by the millions in devasta tion of property and life. 1884—With fi nances so reconstructed that all the stock gamblers of Wall street, week before last, failed to make a national panic. 1864—The surgeons of the land setting broken bones, and amputating gangrened limbs, and studying gunshot fractures, and inventing easy ambulances for the wounded and dying. 1884—Surgeons giving their at tention to these in casualty of agriculture, commerce, or mechanical life. The rushing of the ambulance through our streets, not suggesting battle, but quick re lief to some one fallen in peaceful indus tries. But they shall oome again, all the dead troops. We sometimes talk about earthly military reviews, such as took place in Paris in the time of Marshal Ney, and in London in the time of Wellington, and in our own land. But what tame things compared with the final review, when all the armies of the ages shall pass for divine and angelio in spection! St. John says the armies of heaven ride on white horses, and I do not know why many of the old oavalry horses of earthly battle that were wounded and worn out in the service may not have resurrection. It would be only fair that, raised up and en nobled, they would be resurrected for the grand review of the Judgment Day. It would not take any more power to recon struct their poor bodies than to recon struct ours, and I should be very glad to see them among the white horses of apocalyptie vision. Hark to the trumpet blast, the revellie of the last judgment! They oome up, all the armies of all lands and all centuries, on whatever side they fought, whether for free dom or for despotism, for the right or the wrong. They oome! they oome! Darius and Cyrus, and Sennacherib, and Joshua and David leading forth the armies of Scriptu ral times. Hannibal and Hamilar leading forth the armies of the Carthaginians. Victor Emmanuel and Garibaldi leading on the armies of the Italians. Tam erlane and Genghis Khan followed by the armies of Asia. Gustavos Adolphus, and yThilo leonio battles. The 12,000,000 Germans fsl len in the thirty years’ war. The 15,000,0: tf) fallen in the war under Sesostris. The 20, 000 000 fallen in wars of Justinian. The 25,000.000 fallen in Jewish wars. The 80,- 000.000 fallen in the Crusades. The 180,- 000,000 fallen in Roman wars with Sarac ens and Turks. The 35,000,000,000 men es timated to have fallen in battle, enough, ac cording to one statistician, if they stood four abreast, to reach clear round the earth 442 times. But we shall have time to see them pass in review before the throne of judgment. The oavalry men, the spearpmen, the artile- rymen, the infantry, the sharpshooters, the gunners, the sappers, the miners, the arch ers, the skirmishers, men of all colors, of all epaulettes, of all standards, of all weap onry, of all countries. Let the earth be es pecially balanced to bear their tread. For ward! Forward! Let the orchestra of the heavenly galleries play the grand march, joined by all lifers, drummers and military bands that ever sounded victory or defeat at Eylau or Borodino, Marathon or Ther- mopylie, Bunker Hill or Yorktown, Solferi- no or Balaolava, Sedan or Gettysburg, from the time that Joshua halted astronomy above Gibeon and Ajalon till the last man surrendered to Garnet Wolseley at Tel-el- Kebir. Attention! companies, battalions, ages, centuries and the universe. Forward in the grand review of the judgment! For ward! Gracious and eternal God! On that day may it he found that we were all marching in the right regiment, and that we carried the right standard, and that we fought un der the right commander; all heaven, some on amethystine battlement and others standing in shining gates, some on pearly shore and others in turreted heigets, giving us the resounding million-voiced chesr: “To Him that overcometh.” And our Com mander and King, having reviewed the troops, all nations of heaven and earth will salute Him as the one who, standing so long m the sky with the sword of conquest stratched toward the earth, hath at last put it back with a mighty thrust and echoing clang into the sheath of universal victory, The seoond largest source of revenue to the U.

By its use light 05 red liair may be darkened, thin hair thickened, and baldness often, though not always, cured. ]t checks falling of the liair, and .stimu lates a weak ami sickly growth to vigor, it prevents and cures scurf ami dandruff, and heals nearly every disease peculiar to the scalp. As a Ladies* Hair Dressing, the Vigor is unequalled ; it contains neither oil nor dye, renders the liair soft, glossy, am silken in appearance, and imparts a delicate, agreeable, and lasting perfume. MR. C. P. BRicriER writes from Kirby, ().. July 3, 1HN2 : “ Last fail my hair commenced falling out, and in a short time I became nearly bald. 1 used part of a bottle of Ayer's Hair Vigor, which stopped the fall ing of tiie hair, ami started a new growth. I have now a full head of liair growing vigor ously, and am convinced that hut for the use of your preparation I should have been entirely bald.** J. W. Bowen, proprietor of the McArthur (Ohio) Enquirer, says : “Ayer's Hair Vigor is a most excellent preparation for the hair. 1 speak of it from my own experience, its use promotes the growth of new hair, and makes it glossy and soft. The Vigor is also a sure cure for dandrulf. Not within my knowledge has the preparation ever failed to give entire satisfaction.** Mr. Angus Fairiiairn, leader of the celebrated “ Fairbairn Family’* of Scottish Vocalists, writes from Boston, Mass,, Feb. 6, 1SS0 : “ Ever since my hair began to give sil very evidence of the change which fleeting time procuretli, I have used Ayer’s Hair Vigor, ami so have been able to maintain an appearance of youthfulness — a matter of considerable consequence to ministers, ora tors, actors, and in fact every one who lives in the eyes of the public.** Mrs. O. A. Prescott, writing from IS Elm St., Charlestown, Mass., April 14, lss2, says: “ Two years ago about two-thirds of my liair came off. It thinned very rapidly, and 1 was fast growing bald. On using Ayer’s Hah: Vigor the falling stopped and a new growth commenced, and in about a month my head was completely covered with short hair. It has continued to grow, and is now as good as before it fell. I regularly used but one bottle of the Vigor, but now use it occasionally as a dressing.** We have hundreds of similar testimonials to the efficacy of AVer's Hair Vigor. It needs but a trial to convince the most skeptL cal of its value. PREPARED BY Dr. J.C. Ayer&Co., Lowell, Mass. Sold by all Druggists. THE BEST OF ALL LINIRIE FOE MAN AND BEAST.

I most earnestly entreat every female ex peering to be confined to use Mother's Belief. Coupled with this entreaty I will add that during a long obstetrical practice (forty-four years,) I have never known it t,o fail to produce a safe and quick di livery. H. J. HOLMES, M. D. A lady from one of the connties of Middle Georgia who has been acting midwife for many years, writes: "I have disposed of all the Moth er’s Friend you sent me, and I am delighted with it. In every instance where it has been used, its effects have been all that I could ask. I consider it a great blessing.’’ A gentleman writes: “My wife UBed your Mother’s Friend at her fourth confinement, and her testimony is that she passed through it with one-half the suffering of either of her former confinements, and recovered from its effects in much less rime. She also recom mended it to a lady frieud who was about to be confined for the first rime, and she says- ‘I have never seen any one pass through this great trial with so much ease and so little suffering.’ ” A QUICK AND EASY TIME. A distinguished physician of Mississippi writes: “Every one expecting to be confined should use the Mother’s Friend, for during a long obstetric practice I have never known it to fail to produce a quick and safe delivery.” This remedy is one about which we cannot publish certificates, but it is a most wonderful liniment to be used after the first two or three months.
