Subject: Whispered Venom—The Voice of
the Gossip Like the Serpent's Hiss-
Purveyors of Idle Talcs Are Poisoners
of Society—An Arraignment of Liars.
[Copyright, Louis Klopseh, 1899.]
Washington, D. C.—ln this discourse
Dr. Taltnage vigorously arraigns one of
the great evils that have cursed the world
and urges generous interpretation of the
character of others; text, Homans 1., 29,
‘‘Full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, ma
lignity; whisperers.”
Paul was here calling the long roll of the
world’s villainy, and he puts in the midst
of this roll those persons known in all cities
and communities and places as whisperers.
They are so called because they generally
speak under voice and in a confidential
way, their hand to the side of their mouth
acting as a funnel to keep the precious in
formation from wandering into the wrong
ear. They speak softly not because they
have lack of lung force or because they are
overpowered with the spirit of gentleness,
but because they want to escape the conse
quences of defamation. If no one hears
but the person whispered unto, and the of
fender be arraigned, he caD deny the whole
thing, for whisperers are always first-class
liars!
Some people whisper because they are
hoarse from a cold or because they wish to
convey some useful information without
disturbing others, hut the creatures photo
graphed by the apostle in my text give
muffled utterance from sinister and de
praved motive, and sometimes you can
Cidy hear the sibilant sound as the letter
“8” drops from the tongue into the listen-,
ing ear, the brief hlss„of the serpent as it
projects its venom.
Whisperers are masculine and feminine,
with a tendency to majority on the side of
those who are called “the lords of
creation.” Whisperers are heard at every
window of bank cashier and are heard in
all counting rooms us well as in jewing
societies and at meetings of asylum direc
tors and managers. They are the worst
foes of sooiety, responsible for miseries in
numerable; they are the scavengers of the
world, driving their cart through eypry
community, and to-day I holdup for your
holy anathema and execration these
whisperers.
From tlje, frequency with whlqji Paul
speaks of them under different titles I con
clude that he must have suffered some
what from them. His personal presence
was very defective, and that made him,
perhaps, the target of their ridicule. And,
besides that, he was a bachelor, persisting
In his'celibney down into the sixties, in
deed all the way through, and, some hav
ing failed In their connubial designs upon
him, the little missionary was put under
the rakiDg fire of these whisperers. He
was no doubt a rare morsel for their scan
dallzatlon, and he cannot keep his
patience any longer, and he lays hold of
these miscreants or the tongue and gives
them a very hard setting down in my text
among the scoundrelly and the murderous.
“Envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity;
whisperers.”
The law of libel makes quick and stout
grip of open slander. If I should in a
plain way, calling you by name, oharge
you with fraud or theft or murder or un
cleanness, to-morrow morning I might have
peremptory documents served on me, and
I would have to pay in dollars and cents
for the damage I had done your character.
But these creatures spoken of in my text
are so small that they esoapo the fine tooth
comb of the law. They go on, and they go
on, escaping the judges and the juries and
the penitentiaries. The district attorney
cannot find them, the sheriff cannot find
them, the grand jury cannot find them.
Shut them off from one route of perfidy and
they start on another. You cannot by the
force of moral sentiment persuade them to
desist. You might as well read the Ten
Commandments to a flock of crows, Jex
pecting them to retreat under the force of
moral sentiment. They are to be foqnd
everywhere, these whisperers. I think
their paradise is a country village of about
1000 or 2000 people, where everybody
knows everybody. But they also are to be
found in large quantities in all our cities.
They have a prying disposition. They
look into the basement windows at the
tables of their neighbors and can tell just
what they have morniug and night to eat.
They can see as far through a keyhole as
other people can see with a door wide
open. They can hear conversation on the
opposite side of the room. Indeed, the
world to them is a whispering gallery.
Some morning a wife.desoends into the
street, her eyes damp with tears, and that
is a stimulus to the tattler and is enough
to set up a business for three or four
weeks. “I guess that husband and wife
don’t live happily together. I wonder if he
hasn’t been abusing her? It’s outrageous.
Ho ought to be disciplined. He ought to
be brought up before the ehureh. I'll go
right over to my neighbors and I’ll let
them know about this matter.” She
rushes in all out of breath to a neighbor’s
house and says: “Oh, Mrs. Allear, have
you heard the dreadful news? Why, our
neighbor, poor thing, came down off the
steps in a flood of tears. That brute of a
husband has been abusing her. Well, it’s
just as I expected. I saw him the other
afternoon very smiling and very g'raoious
to some one who smiled back, and I
thought I would just go up to him and tell
him he bad better go home and look after
his wife and family, who probably at that
very time were upstairs crying their eyes
out. Oh. Mrs. Allear, do have your hus
band go over and put an end to this
trouble. It’s simply outrageous that our
neighborhood should be disturbed in this
way. It’s awful.”
The fact is that one man or woman set
on fire of this hellish spirit will keep a
whole neighborhood a-boil. It does not
require any very great brain. The chief
requisition is that the woman have a small
family or no family at all, because if she
have a large family, thou she would have
to stay at home and look after them. It is
very important that she be single or have
no children at all, and then she can attend
to all the secrets of the neighborhood all
the time. A woman with a large family
tnake6 a very poor whisperer.
It Is astonishing how these whisperers
gather up everything. They know every
thing that happens. There are telephone
and telegraph wires reaching from their
ears to all the’houses in the neighborhood.
They have no taste for healthy news, but

I would only change Shakespeare in
this, that, where he puts the word “witch’,
I would put the word “whisperer.” Ah,
what a caldron! Did you ever get a taste
of it? I have more respect for the poor
waif of the street thqt goes down under
the gaslight, with no home and no God—
for she deceives no one as to what She is—
than I have for these hags of respeotable
society who cover up their tigetclaws with
a fine shawl and bolt the hell of their
heart with a diamond breastpin!
The work of masculine whisperers is
chiefly seen in the embarrassment of busi
ness." Now, I suppose, there are hundreds
of men here who at some time have been
in business trouble. I will undertake to
say that in nine eases out of ten it was the
result of some whisperer’s work. The
whimperer uttered some suspicion in regard
to your credit. You sold your horse and
carriage because you had no use for them,
and the whisperer said: “Sold his horse
and carriage because he had to sell them.
The fact that he sold his horse and carriage
shows he is going down in business.”
One of "Vour friends gets embarrassed
nnd you are a little involved with him. The
whisperer says: “I wonder if he can stand
under all this pressure? I think he is going
down. I think he will have to give up.”
You borrow money out a bank and* direo
tor whispers outside about it, and after
awhile the suspicion gets fairly started and
it leaps from one whisperer’s lips to an
other whisperer’s lips until all the people
you owe want their money and want it
right away and the business circles come
around you like a pack of wolves, and,
though you had assets four times more
than were necessary to meet your liabili
ties, crush went everythjngi Whispetersl
Oh, how much business men have sufferadl
I think among the worst of tjie whis
perers are those who gather up all the
harsh things that have been said übout
you and bring them to you—all the things
said against you, or again’st your family,
or against your style of business. They
gather them all up and they bring them to
you, they bring them to you in the very
woist shape, they bring them to you with
out any of thd extenuating circumstances,
and after they have made your feelings all
raw, very raw, they take this brine,
this turpentine, this aqua fortis, and
rub it in with a coarse towel and rub it In
until it sinks to the bone. They make you
the pincushion In which they thrust all the
sharp thiugs they have ever heard about
you. “Now, don’t bring me into a scrape.
Now, don’t tell anybody I told yen. Let It
be between you and me. Don’t involve me
in it at all.” They aggravate you to the
point of profanity, and then they wonder
You cannot sing psalm tunes! They turn
you on a spit before a hot lire and wonder
why you are not absorbed in gratitude to
them because they turn you on a spit. ‘Ped
dlers of night shade. Peddlers of Canada
thistle. Peddlers of nux vomica. Sometimes
they get you in a corner where you cannot
very well escape without being rude, and
then they tell you all about this ono, and
all about that one, and all about the other
one, and they talk, talk, talk, talk, talk.
After awhile they go away leaving the
place looking like a barnyard, after the
foxes and the weasels have been around;
here a wimr, and there a claw, and yonder
an eye, and there a crop. How they do
make the feathers fly!
Jesus Christ had these whisperers after
Him, and they charged Him with drinking
too much and keeping bad company. “A
wine bibber and the friend of publicans and
sinners.” You take the best man that ever
lived and put a detective on his track for
ten years, watching where he goes and
when he comes, and with a determination
to misconstrue everything, and to think
he goes hero for a bad purpose and there
for a bad purpose, with that determina
tion of destroying him, at the end of ten
years he will be held despicable in the
sight of a great many people.
If it is an outrageous thing to despoil a
man’s character, how much worse is it to
damage a woman’s reputation? Yet that
evil grows from century to century, and It
is all done by whisperers. A suspicion is
started. The next whisperer who gets
hold of it states the suspicion as a prove.d
fact, and many a good woman, as honor
able as your wife or your mother, has been
whispered out of all kindly associations
and whispered into the grave. Some
people say there is no hell, but if
there be no hell for sneh a despoiler
of womanly character it is high time
that some philanthropist built one.
But there is such a place established, and
what a tjme they will have when all the
whisperers get down there together re
hearsing things! Everlasting carnival of
mud. Were it not for the uncomfortable
surroundings, you might suppose they
would be glad to get there. In that region
where they are all bad what opportunities
for exploitation by these whisperersl On
earth to despoil their neighbors some
times they had to lie about them, but
down there they oan say the worst things
possible about their neighbors and tell the
truth. Jubilee of whisperers. Grand gala
day of backbiters. Semiheaven of scandal
mongers stopping their gabble about their
diabolical neighbors only long enough to
go up to the iron gate and ask some new
comer from the earth, “What is the last
gossip in the city on earth where we used
to live?”
Now, how are we to war against this in
iquity which curses every community on
earth? First by refusing to listen to or
believe a whisper. Every court of the land
lias lor a law, and all decent communities
have for a law, that you must hold people
innocent until they are proved guilty.
There is only one person worse than the
whisperer, and that is the man or woman
who listens without protest. The trouble
is you hold the sack while they All it. The
receiver of stolen goods is just as bad as
the thief. An ancient writer declares that
a slanderer and a man who receives the
slantfer ought both to be hanged—the one
by the tongue and the other by the ear.
And I agree with him.
Oh, my friends, employ the tongue
which God so wflnderfufiy ereated as the
organ of taste, the organ of deglutition,
the organ of articulation to make others
happy and in the service of Godl If you
whisper, whisper good—encouragement to
the fallen nnd hope to the lost. Ah, my
friends, the time will soon come when we
will all whisper! The voice will be en
feebled in the last sickness, and, though
that voice could laugh and shout and
sing and halloo until the forest echoes an
swered, it will be so feeble then we oan
only whisper consolation to those whom
we leave behind and only whisper our hope
of heaven.
While I speak this very moment there
are hundreds whispering their last utter
ances. Oh, when that solemn hour comes
to you and tome, as come soon it will,
may it be found that we did our best to
serve Christ and to cheer our comrades in
the earthly struggle and that we conse
crated not only our hand, but our tengue.

around our dying pillow shall not be the

CAUGHT BY A HAIR.
One of the Slightest Clues That Ever Put a
Man in Prison.
“The least thing I ever heard of that
put a man in prison was the
took me over the road between here
aud New York about a dozen times in
1873, when I was an inspector in tne
postal service,” said an old sleuth the
other day to another who had just told
a good story.
"It was an old case. It had been on
the books a long while. Four or five
good men had taken a try at it. but the
fellow was too sly, and he kept taking
letters and we could never take him.
The complaints pointed very closely to
the spot where the trouble was, but
when we got there we were complete
ly baffled.
•T had myself worked on the job a
little and gone at something else. In
all these detective cases it is In nine
times out of ten a mere chance that
leads to success. One day I happened
to take out of a pigeonhole in my desk
a bunch of decoy letters that had been
sent over the line to catch tills sharp
rascal, who was robbing Washington
people of their remittances to New
York. Somehow I slid my knife
through the sealed joints of an en
velope, and there, caught in a corner,
was a short black hair. T-e flap of
tlie envelope looked as if it hail not
been meddled with. Yet it had been
opened and a dollar bill duly marked
had been taken out and the envelope
sealed up aud put back In the mail.
“I took that hair up as carefully as
if it had been a diamond I had found.
I knew that just across Seventh street
was a friend of mine, now dead, who
had a powerful microscope. I rushed
up to his office and asked him to let me
use his instrument a moment. Under
the glass the hair seemed to be one
from a man’s mustache. I looked at it
a long while and so did my friend.
We agreed that It was a whisker, sure
enough, and I was confident it was a
piece of the thief we wanted to catch.
If we had stopped there and gone after
him we should have failed again as
completely as ever before. To make
assurance doubly sure 1 went to an
optician and he put the hair under the
most powerful microscope he had. Al
most without hesitation he said: ‘This
is not a black hair, but a red one
dyed black. It is red at the end.’
“I looked for myself, and sure
enough it was so. I went back to the
office, put my desk in order, got all the
data in this case, and that night started
over the line to New York once more.
We were satisfied the thief worked be
tween Philadelphia and New York, so
I took it easy until I got to the Dela
ware river. Then I got down to busl
ness. I saw every man that handled
through pouches from there on to New
York, and I took a mental photograph
of every mustache in the service be
tween Philadelphia and New- York. I
looked for black mustaches and for
red ones, and I was especially inter
ested in any that had the least sign of
being dyed. At Trenton I found a red
mustache, but I went on to the end of
the route still looking for another of
that shade. I found none. That chap
was my man. I came back home, and
for a week played toss and catch with
him, sending through his hands per
haps fifty decoy letters, some with
stamps in them, some with dollar bills
and some with money orders. In less
than two weeks we had him, and he
went over the road for two years and
eight months, and the trouble stopped.
“It all began with my finding that
one little stubby hair in the corner of
that envelope.”—Washington Star.

Miss Lockheart’s
LETTER TO MRS. PINKHAM.
[LETTBK TO H*. PINKHAM HO. 67,104]
“ I cannot express my gratitude to
you for the good that Lydia E. Pink
ham’s Vegetable Compound has done
for me. I have taken five bottles of
the Compound and two boxes of Liver
Pills and feel better in every respect.
I had suffered for years with dropsy;
the veins in my limbs burst, caused
from the pressure of the water. I had
the worst kind of kidney trouble, faint
ing spells, and I could not stand long
at a time. I also had female weakness
and the doctor said there was a tumor
in my left side. The pains Iliad to
stand were something dreadful. A
friend handed me a little book of yours,
so I got your medicine and it has saved
my life. I felt better from the first
bottle. The bloating and the tumors
have all gone and I do not suffer any
pain. lam still using the Vegetable
Compound and hope others may find
relief as I have done from its use.”—
Miss N. J. Lockheart, Box 16, Eliza
beth, Pa.
Only the women who have suffered
with female troubles can fully appre
ciate the gratitude of those who have
been restored to health.
Mrs. Pinkham responds quickly and
without charge to all letters from suffer
ing women. Her address is Lynn, Mass.
