TALMAGE'S SEH;| The Eminent Divine's SunqHj Discourse. Subject: Buyers and Sellers— Novel View® on the Business Life—Hlch Con.pliJ ment to Commercial Integrity—TrlckS ery in trade ltenonnced. 1 [Copyright, Louis Klopsch, 1899,] Washington, D. C.-Intosrity and trlok- ' ry m busmens life form the subject of Dr Talmage’s sermon, and the contrast tie establishes between the two Is a striking one. The text is Proverbs xx., 14' “It is naught, it is naught, sattli the buyer but when he is gone his way then he boasteth ” Palaces are not such prisons as the worid imagines. If you think that the only time kings iyid queens come forth from the royal gates is in procession and gorgeously at tended, you are mistaken. Incognito by day or by night and clothed in citizen’s ap parel or the dress of a working woman they come out and see the world as it is’ In no other way could King Solomon, the author of my text, have known everything that was going on. From my text I am sure he must, in disguise, someday have walked into a store of ready made clothing in Jeru salem and stood near the counter and heard a conversation between a buyer and a sell er. The merchant put a price on a coat and the customer began todickerand said ; “Absurd: That coat is not worth what you ask for it. Why, just look at the coarse ness of the fabric! See that spot on the ■collar! Besides that, it does not fit. Twenty dollars for that? Why, it is not worth more than $lO. They hayo a better article tjian thet for lower price down at Clothem, Fitern & Bros. Besides that, I ■don’t want it at any price. Good morn ing.’’ “Hold!” .‘■ays the merchant. “Do not go off in that way. I want to sell you that coat. I have some paymentsto make, and I want the money’. Come, now, how much will you give forthat coat?” “Well,” says the customer, “I will split the differ ence. You asked S2O, and I said $lO. Now, £ will give you $15.” “WolJ,” says the merchant, “it is a great sacrifice, but take St at that price.” Then the customer with a roll under his arm started to go out and enter his own place of business, and Solomon In disguise tollowed him. He heard the customer as he unrolled the coat say: “Boys, I have made a great bargain. How much do you guess I gave for that coat?” “Well,” says one, wishing to compliment his enterprise, “you gave $8!) for it.” Another says, “I should think you got it cheap if you gave $25.” “No,” says the buyer in triumph, “I got it for sls. I beat him down and pointed out the imperfections until I really made him believe it was not worth hardly anything. It takes me to make a bargain. Ha, ha!” Oh, man you got the goods for less than they were worth by positive falsehood, and no wonder, when Solomon went baek to his palace and had put off his disguise, that he sat down at his writing desk and made for all ages a crayon sketch of you, “It is naught, it is naught, saith the buyer, hut when he is gone his way then he boasteth.” Tliero are no higher styles of men in all the world than those now at the head of mercantile enterprises in the great cities of this continent. Their casual promise is as good as a bond with plies of collaterals. Their reputation for integrity is as well es tablished as that of Petrarch residing in the family of Cardinal Colonna. It is re lated that when there was great disturb ance in the family the cardinal called all his people together and put them under oath to tell the truth except Petrarch; when he came up to swear, the cardiaal put away his book and said, “As for you, Petrarch, your word is sufficient.” Never since the world stood have there been so many merchants whose transactions can stand the test of the Ton Commandments. Such bargain makers are all the more to be honored, because they have withstood yeur after year temptations which have flung BO many flat and flung them so hard they can never, never recovor themselves. While all positions in life have powerful besetments to evil there are specillo forms of allurement which are peculiar to each occupation and profession, audit will be useful to speak of the peculiar temptations of business men. First, as in the scene of the text, business mefi are often tempted to sacrifice plain truth, the seller by exaggerating the value Of goods and the buyer by depreciating them. We cannot hut admire an expert salesman, See how he flrst induces the customer into a mood favorable to the proper consideration of the value of the goods.. He shows himself to be an lioi est and frank salesman. How carefully the lights are arranged till they fall just right upon the fabricl Beginning with goods of medium quality, he gradually advances toward those of more thorough make and of more attractive pattern. How he watches the moods and whims of his cus tomer! With what perfect calmness he takes the order and bows the purchaser from his presence, who goes away, having made up his mind that he has bought the goods at a price which will allow him a living margin when ho again sells them. "The goods were worth what the salesman said they were and were sold at a price which will not make it necessary for the house to fail every ten years in order to fix up things. But with what burning indignation we think of the iniquitous strategems by which goods are sometimes disposed of. A glance at the morning papers shows the arrival at one of our hotels of a youug merchant from one of the inland cities. He is a comparative stranger in the great city, and, of course, he must be shown around, and it will he the duty of some of our enterprising houses to escort him. He is a large purchaser and has plenty of time and money, and it will pay to be very at tentive. The evening is spent at a place of doubtful amusement. Then they go back to the hctel. Having just come to town they must, of course, drink. A friend from the same mercantile estab lishment drop3 in, and usage and generos ity suggest that they must drink. Busi ness prospects are talked over, and the stranger is warned against certain dilapi dated mercantile establishments that are about to fail, and for such kindness and magnanimity of caution against the dis honesty of other business houses of course it is expected they will —and so they do— take a drink. Other merchants lodging in adjoining rooms lind it hard to sleep for the clatter of decanters, and the coarse carousal of these “hail fellows well met” waxes louder. But they sit not all night at the wine cup. They mu3t see the sights. They stagger forth with cheeks flushed and eyes bloodshot. The outer gates of hell open to lot in the v ctlms. The wings of lost souls flit among the lights, and the steps of the carousers sound with the rum bling thunders of the lost. Farewell to all the sanctities of home! Could mother, sister, father, slumbering in the inland home, in some vision of that night catch a glimpse of the ruin wrought they would rend out their hair by the root3 and bite the tongue till the blood spurted, shriek ing out, “God save him!” What, suppose you, will come upon such business establishments? And there are hundreds of them in the cities. They may boast of fabulous sales, and they may have an unprecedented run of buyers, and the came of the house may be a terror to all rivals, and from this thrifty root there may spring up branph houses in other cities, and all the partners of the firm may move into their mansions and drive their full blooded span, and the families may sweep the street with the most elegant apparel that human art ever wove or earthly magnificence ever achieved. But a curse is gathering surely for those men, and if it does not seize hold of the pillars and in one wild ruin bring down the temple of commercial glory it will break up their peace, and they will tremble with sickness and bloat with dissi pations, and, pushed to the precipice oi this life, they will try to hold back and cry for help, but no help will come, and they Hr!* 7>' ■fcen ■t of the under lUi • mam <-' lit • ■ Ac hat : 1 1 with glue having bec-.i gold watches made out of Irass, of fruit, the biggest apples ■ a top, witli strychnine, hosiery woven, cloths of domestic with foreign labels, represented as rare and hard to because foreign exchange is so hlgfc rolled out on the counter with matchless display. Imported, indeed! but from the factory in the next street. A pattern already unfashionable and un salable palmed oil as anew print upon some country merchant who has come to town to make his flrst purchase of dry goods and going home with a large stock of goods warranted to keep. Again, business men are often tempted to make the habits and customs of other traders their law of rectitude. There are commercial usages which will not stand the test of the last day. Yet men in busi ness are apt to do as their neighbors do. If the majority of the traders in any local ity are lax in principal, the commercial code In that community will be spurious and dishonest. It Is a hard thing to stand close by the law of right when your next door neighbor by his looseness of dealing is enabled to sell goods at a cheaper rate and decoy your customers. Of course, you who promptly meet all your business en gagements, paying when you promise to pay, will find it hard to compete with that merchant who is hopelessly in debt to the importer for the goods and to the landlord whose store he oocuples and to the clerks who serve him. There are a hundred practices prevalent in the world of traffic which ought never to become the rule for honest men. Their wrong does not make your right. Sin never becomes virtue by being multiplied and admitted at brokers’ board or mer chants’ exchange. Because otheis smuggle a few things in passenger trunks, because others take usury when men are in tight places, because others palm off worthless indorsements, because others do nothing hut blow bubbles, do not, therefore, be overcome of temptation. Hollow preten sion and fictitious credit aud commercial gambling may awhile prosper, but the day of reckoning cometh, and in addition to the horror and condemnation of outraged communities the curse of God will come blow for blow. God’s law forever and for ever is the only standard of right and wrong and not commercial ethics. Young business man, avoid the flrst busi ness dishonor, and you will avoid all the rest. The captain of a vessel was walking near the mouth of a river when the tide was low, snd there was a long stout anchor chain, into one of the groat links of which his foot slipped, and it began to swell, and hecould not withdraw it. The tide began to rise. The chain could uot be loosened nor filed off in time, and' a surgeon was called to amputate the limb, but before the work could be done the tide rolled over the victim, and his life was gone. I have to tell you, youug man, that just one wrong into which you may slip may be a link of a long chain of circumstances from which you cannot De extricated by any ingenuity of your ownorany help from others, and the tides will roll over you as they have over many. - Again, business men are sometimes tempted to throw off personal responsi bility, shifting it to the institution to which they belong. Directors in banks and railroad and insurance companies sometimes shirk personal responsibility underneath the action of the corporation. And how often, when some banking house or financial institution explodes through fraud respectable men in the board of directors say, “Why, I thought all was going on in an honest way, and I am ut terly confounded with this demeanor!” The banks and the tire and life and marine insurance companies and the rail road companies will not stand up for judg ment In the last day, but those who in them acted righteously will receive, each for himself, a reward, and those who acted the part of neglect or trickery will, each for himself, receive a condemnation. Unlawful dividends are not clean before God, because tnere are those associated with yon who grab just as big a pile as you do. He who countenances the dishonesty of the firm or of the corporation or asso ciation takes upon himself all the moral liabilities. If the financial institutions steal, he steals. If they go into wild specu lations, he himself is a gambler. If they needlessly embarrass a creditor, he himself is guilty of cruelty. If they swindle the uninitiated, he himself is a defrauder. No financial institution ever had a money vault strong enough, or credit staunch enough, or dividends large enough, or policy acute enough to hide the individual sins of its members. The old adage that corporations have no souls is misleading. Every cor poration has as many souls as it has mem bers . Again many business men have been tempted to postpone their enjoyments and duties to a future season of entire leisure. What a sedative the Christian religion would be to all our business men if, in stead of postponing its uses to old age or death, they would take it into the store or factory or worldly engagement now! It Is folly to go amid the uncertainties of busi ness life with no God to help. A mer chant in a New England village was standing by a horse, and the horse lifted bis foot to stamp it in a pool of water, and the merchant, to escape the splash, stepped into the door of an insurance agent, and the agent said, “I isuppose you ha\e come to renew your Are nsurance?” “Oh,” said the mere hant, “I had forgotten that!” The insurance was renewed, and the next dav the house that had been insured was burned. Was it all accidental that the merchant, to escape a splash from a horse’s foot, stepped into the insurance office? No; ft was providential. And what a mighty solace for a business man to feel that things are providentlall What peace and equilibrium in such a con sideration, and what a grand thing if all business men could realize it! Many, although now comparatively straitened in worldly circumstances, have a goodly establishment in the future planned out. Their best treasures in heaven, they will go up and take posses sion of them. The toils of business life, which racked their brains and rasped their nerves for so many years, will have forever ceased. .“There the wicked cease from troubling, and the wearvare at rest.” Doing Work, in Many Lands.

The earliest references to the use of the mariner’s compass are to be found in Chinese history, from which we learn how, in the sixty-fourth-year of ihe reign of Hoang-ti (2034 B. C.), the Emppror attacked Tehi-yeon, on the plains of Tchoulou, and, finding his army embarrassed by a Thick fog raised by the enemy, constructed au in strument for indicating the south, so as to distinguish the four cardinal points, aud was thus enabled to pursue his adversary and capture him. The power of the loadstone to com municate polarity to iron is said to be for the first time explicitly mentioned n a Chinese dictionary, finished in A. i). 121, where the loadstone is defined as “a, stone with which an attraction can be given to the needle.” The Chinese appear to have once navigated as far as India by the aid of the compass.--Pearson’s Weekly.

Yes, ! I refer to the baby. As you know, I have had a wide experience with chil dren, and I was sorry to see, on my visit to you last evening, that you and your wife have much to learn. Not that I blame either of you. No, my dear fellow; it takes time. But I know I can be of service to you.” Crumble pounded the table. “In the first place,” continued Gasso tvay, “you should never rock your baby to sleep. Put him dojvn and let him ery it out, and in a week or so he will be trained. I was sorry to infer, from what your wife said, that you have been in the habit of feeding him at Ir regular intervals.

"What do you want me to do, my boy?” “Simply this,” replied Crumble. “As you know so much about it, you are just the one I am looking for.

DETECTIN'O A FAMOUS FOGEB.^| How * Three Hundred ” Was Ralaed to * Eighty-three Hundred.” “In filling out a blank form,” writes Eanlel T. Ames, the handwriting ex pert, “say one word is omitted. After the paper Is finished the writer notices the omission, goes back and writes in the lacking word. The insertion is dif ferent from the writing Immediately preceding and following it, showing that it was written at another time and not in its natural order. The Pot ter-Gibbons forgery, 1n New Jersey, turned upon this very point. Tho for gery consisted of one word added td*a receipt for three hundred dollars, mak ing it read ’eighty’-three hundred. The ‘eighty’ was written by the same hand that wrote the remainder of the re ceipt. but was added at another time. “Gibbons, by whom the receipt was given, held a mortgage of ninety-three hundred dollars on Potter’s farm. Pot ter called to pay him tHree hundred of it on account. Gibbons had been ill, and could not write well, so he asked Potter to draw up the receipt. The re ceipt was drawn for three hundred dollars, and Gibbons signed it. Then, noticing that the figures usually in serted In such papers had uot been put in he returned it to Potter with the suggestion that the figures be added. Potter took the receipt, added some thing, folded it and laid it on the ta ble. Gibbons did not examine It, sup posing that the other man had written in the figures as requested. “Wbcn another installment of the mortgage fell due, Potter set up the claim that he owed only one thousand dollars instead of eight thousand, as Gibbons maintained. He produced tho receipt In support of his statement. The form of the paper was so unusual, however, aud the examination of tho handwriting expert showed so plainly that the word eighty had been hastily written in after the receipt was com pleted, that It was not allowed to stand." —Aiuslec's Magazine.
