Washington, P. C.—In thes« days ot
moral awakening this pointed sermon by
Dr. Talmage on pergonal responsibility be
fore God will be read with a deep and sol
emn interest; text. Daniel v., 27. “Tbou
art weighed in the balance and found
wanting.”
Babylon was the paradise of architecture,
and driven out from thence the grandest
buildings of modern times are only the
evidence selected of tor her the full. city, The 2,000,000 site having’beeu
men were
employed buildiDg lu of the her rearing works. of It her walls and
the was a city
sixty miles in circumference. There was a
trench all around the city, from which the
material for the building of the city bad
been digged. There were twenty-flve
gates on eAch side of the city; between
every two sates a tower of defense spring
ing into the skies; from each gate on
the one side, a street running straight
through to the corresponding gate ou the
other side, so that there were tlfty streets
fifteen miles long. Through the city ran a
branch of the river Euphrates. This river
sometimes it from overflowed ruining the its city, banks, and, to
■ keep constructed into which the a lake was
would during surplus water
of tbe river run the time of
freshets, and the water was kept in this
artificial lake until time ot drought, and
then this water would stream down over
the city. At either end of the bridge span
ning this Euphrates there was a palace—
the odc paloee a mile and a half around,
the other palace seven and a half miles
around.
The wife of Nebuchadnezzar had been
born and brought up in tbe country, aud
in a mountainous region, and she could
not bear this flat district of Babylon, and
so, to please his wife, Nebuchadnezzar
built in the midst of the city a mountain
400 feet high. This mountain was built out
into terraces supported on arches. On the
top of these arches a layer ot flat stones,
on the top of that a layer of reeds and bi
tumen, on the top of that two layers of
bricks closely cemented, on the top
of that a heavy sheet of lead, and on
the top of that the soil placed—the soil
so deep that a Lebanon cedar had room
to anchor its roots. There were pumps
worked by mighty machinery, fetching
up the water from the Euphrates to
this hangiDg garden, ns it was called,
so that there were fountains spouting into
the skv. Standing below and looking up,
it must have seemed as if the clouds were
in blossom, or as though tbe sky leaned on
the shoulder of a cedar. All thisNebuchad
nezzar did to please his wife. Well, she
ought to have been pleased. I suppose she
was pleased. If that would not please her.
nothing would. There was in tower.?—one the*: city
also the temple of Belus. with
tower the eighth of a mile high, in which
there was nii observatory where astrono
mers talked to the stars There was in
that temple an image, just one image,
which would cost what would be our $50,
000,000.
Oh, what a city! The earth never saw
anything iikq it. never will see anything
like it, and yet I have to tell you that it is
going to be destroyed. The king and bis
princes are at a /east. They are all intoxi
cated. Pour out the rich wiue into the
chalices! Drink to the health of tbe king!
Driuk to the glory of Babylon! Drink to a
great future! A thousand lords reel intoxi
cated. The king seated upon a chair, with
vacant look, as intoxicated men will—with
vacant look stared at the wall. But soon
that vacant look takes on intensity, and
I it is an affrighted look, and all the
princes begin to look and wonder what is
! the matter, and they look at the same point
out he wall, and then there drops a darkness
into the room that puts out the blaze of
the golden plate, and out of the sleeve of
the darkness there comes a finger—a finger
of the fiery terror circling around and cir
cling around as though it would write, and
then it comes up and with sharp tip of
flame it inscribes on tbe plastering on the
wall the doom of tbe king: “Weighed The in
the balances and found wanting.”
baDg of heavy fists against tbe gates of the
palace is followed by tbe breaking in of
the doors. A thousand gleaming knives
strike into 10 00 quivering hearts. Now
death is king, und he is seated on a throne
of coroses. In that hall there is a balance
lifted? God swung it. On one side of the
i balance are put Belshazzar’s opportunities,
on the other side of the balance are put
Belshazzar’s sins. The sins come down,
Els opportunities go up. Weighed in the
balances—found wanting.
There has been :: great deal of cheating
in our country with false weights and
measures and balances, and the Govern
ment, to change that state of things, np
poluted Commissioners, whose business it
was to stamp weights and measures and
balances, and a great deni of the wrong
Jhere has been corrected. But still, after all,
is eo such thing as a perfect balance
The cl:r.!a -ay .break 0l’

be You can
not always depend upon earthly balances. and
A pound is not always a pound, another, you
may pay for one tbin^ and get
but, in the balance which is suspended pound and to
the throne of God, a pound is a and
right is right and wrong is wrong n
soul is a soul and eternity is eternity.
God has a perfect bushel and a per
feet peck and a perfect gallon. When
jnerchants weigh their goods in the
wrong way, then the Lord weighs the
goods again. Ir from the imperfect
measuro the merchant pours out what pre
tends to be a gallon of oil, and there is less
than a galloD, God knows it. and He calls
upon His recording angel to mar.k it, “So
much wanting in that measure of oil.” Tilt
farmer comes in from the country. He
has apples to sell. He has an imperfect
measure. Ho pours out the apples from
this imperfeci measure. God recognizes
it. He says to the recording angel, “Mark
down so manv apples too few—an imper
feet measure.” We may cheat ourselves,
and we may cheat the world, but we can
not cheat God. and in the great day of
judgment it wilt be found oat that what
we learned in boyhood at school is correct;
that twenty hundredweight makes a ton,
and 120 solid feet make a cord of wood. No
more.‘no less, and a religion which does
not take hold of this life, as wall as the life
to come, is 110 religion at all.
But, mv friends, that is not the style of
balances i am to speak of to-day; that is not
the kind of weights and measures. I am
to speak of that kind of balance's which
weigh principles, weigh churches, weigh
men weigh nations and weigh worlds.
“What!” you say “Is it possible that our
world is to be weighed?” Yes. Why. you
would think if God put on one side of the
balances suspended from the throne the
Alps and the Pyrenees and the Himalayas
aud Mount Wasbioglon and all the cities
of the earth they would crush ir. No, no!
Tbe time will come when God will sit down
on the white throne to see the world
weighed, und on one side will ho the
world’s opportunities and on the other side
the world’s sins. Down will go the sins
and a wav will go the opportunities and
G-od will pay to tbe me?seD£rcrs with tbe
torch- “Burn that world! Weighed aud
found wanting!”
So God will weigh churches. He takes a
great church. That church, great accord
ing to the worldly estimate, must be
weighed. He puts it on one side the bal
ances ami tbe minister and the choir aud
the building that cost its hundreds of thou
sands of dollars. He puts tbctu on one
side the balances. On the other side of the
scale He puts what that church ought to
tie, what its-consecration ought to be, what
Its sympathy tor the poor ou gut to be,
what its devotion to all good ought to be.
That is on one side. That side comes
down, and the church, not being able to
stand the test, rises in the balances. It
does not make ar.y difference about your
magnificent machinery. A church is built
for one tting—to save souls. If it saves a
few souls when it might save a multitude
of souls, God will spew it out of His mouth.
Weighed andiound wanting!
So we peraahre that God estimates na
ttODS. How many times He has put the
Spanish monarchy into the scales and
found it insufficient and condemned! it!
The French empire was placed ou one side
of the scales, aud God weighed the French
empire, and Napoleon said: “Have I not
enlarged dle the boulevards? Did I not kin
the glories of the Champs Elyees? Have
I not adorned the Tuileries? Have I not built
the gilded opera house? Then God weighed
the nation, and He put on one side the
scales the emperor and the boulevards and
the Tuileries and the Champs Elvsees and
the gilded opera house, and on the other
side He puts that man’s abominations,
that man’s libertinism, that man’s selfish
ness, tilat man’s godless ambition. This
last came down, and all the brilliancy of
the scene vanished.' What Is that voice
coming up from Sedan? Weighed and
found wanting!
But I must become more Individual and
more they personal do in ray address. Some people
say be not think clergymen ought to
personal in their religions nddress, but
ought to deal with subjects in the abstract.
I do not think that way. What would you
think of a hunter who should go to the
Adirondacks to shoot deer in the abstract?
Ah, no! He loads the gun; he puts the
butt of it against bis breast, he runs bis
and eye along the barrel, he takes sure aim,
then crash go the antlers on the rooks!
And so, if we want to be hunters for the
Lord, we must take sure aim and fire. Not
in the abstract are we to treat things in
religious discussions. If a physician comes
into a sickroom, does he treat disease in
the abstract? No. Ha feels the pulse,
takes the diagnosis, then he writes the
prescription. And if we want to heal souls
for this life and the life to come, we do not
want to treat them in the abstract. The
fact is, you and I have a malady which, if
uneured by grace, will kill us forever.
Now, I want no abstraction. Where is the
balm? Where is the physician?
People say there is a day of judgment

balances of the sanctuary. They are

come and be weighed first. Here is a
moralist who volunteers. He is one of the
most upright men in the country. He
comes. “Well, my brother, get weighed.’’ in—get

But as he gets into the balances I say,
“What is that bundle you have along with
you?” “Oh,” he says, “that is my reputa

and generosity and kindliness generally!”
“Oh, my brother, we cannot weigh that!
We are going to weigh you—you. Now
stand in the scales—you, the moralist. “paid
Paid your debts?” “Yes,” you say,
all my •debts.” “Have you noted in an
upright way in the community?” “Yes,
yes.” “Have you been kind to the poor?
Are you faithful in a thousand relations in
life?” “Yes.” “So far, so good. But now,
before you get out of this scale I want to
ask you two or three questions. Have your
thoughts always been right?” “No,” you
say; “no.” Put down one mars. “Have
you loved, the Lord witli all your heart and
soul and mind and strength?” “No,” you
say. Make another mark. “Gome now, be
frank and confess that in 10,000 things you
have come short, have you not?” “Yes.”
Make 10,000 murks. Come now, get me of a
book large enough to make the record
the moralist’s deficits. My brother, stand
in the scales, do not fly away lrom them. I
put on your side the scales all the good
deeds you ever did, all the kind words you
ever uttered. But on the other side the
scales I put this weight which God says I
must put there—on the other side the scales
and opposite-to yo«rs I put this weight,

Still, the balances are
suspended and we are ready to weigh any
who some: Who shall bo the next. Well,
here is a formalist. He comes and he gets
into the balances, and as he gets in I see
that all his religion is in genuflection and
in outward observances. As he gets into
the scales I suy.^Whnt is that you have in

~ TREE.
CHILDREN BORN IN
A Family of Eleven Brought Up In n Tree
Trunk In Tennessee.
It is not an ancestral mansion,
though It has been some five hundred
years in building. The beginning of it
was a sturdy sapling, stunding in a
tiny cove, high on the side of an east
Tennessee mountain. By and Ly the
sapling became a big hollow tree. Not
withstanding the hollow was so big
a tall man could lie stretched at
length in It there was an outer shell
of sound wood and plenty of vigorous
lenfy boughs for shade. The hollow
Itself was rain and storm proof, so a
couple of the mountain folk took up
their abode in it.
They did not bother about furniture,
there was no room for it, even lu a
hollow tree measuring seven feet
across. The man put down a floor of
puncheons—that is rough slabs split
from smaller tree trunks. For a bed
they had dry leaves, and for covering
skins of various animals round about.
The woman knew how to dress them
Indian fn-'hion, so they served in large
part for clothes as well as cover.
An axe, a rifle, a bullet pouch, a
powder horn, a hunting knife, an iron
pot, a water pail, a jug. two or three
big gourds, a bread tray au<l a meal
bag summed up the family’s movable
possessions. Cooking was done gypsy
fashion at a log fire some little way
off the entrance to the tree. General
ly the pot sat beside the tire, simmer
ing aud stewing. The only bread was
ash cake. For drinking there was a
choice of sassafras tea, unsweetened,
and moonshine whiskey.
The man, of course, was a moon
shiner. He was also a dead shot—
particularly in the case of a revenue
officer. He was able thus to feed his
family by working about half the
time. His wife looked after the cloth
mg, exchanging surplus peltry twice
a year for coarse cloth, salt and snuff
at the nearest crossroads store, fifteen
miles away.
Eleven children were born in the
hollow tree, and grew' up into strap
ping men and women, One of the
boys stood six feet nine inches—when
he could be persuaded to stand at all.
Usually he carried himself in rather
the shape of a crescent. Each of the
eleven was cradled in the half of a
smaller hollow tree, smoothed out in
side with the axe aud imbedded with
leaves. It did not need rockers, rock
ing itself at the slightest touch. An
the big tree became crowded, hollow
logs were sought, one for each child,
chopped to convenient lengths and
dragged close about the fire. Into
their open ends the bigger children
crept, feet foremost, turned their
heads to the fire aud slept snug
through all sorts of weather.
course the logs were only for storma
and severe weather, When it waa
fine the whole family slept out-doors,
It was presumably a happy family,
and certainly a healthy one. though
it went bare foot the year rouad
never so much as heard of hygiene.
The whole brood grew' up innocent of
contact with doctors, ministers or
schoolmasters. As the owner of a
summer cottage down the valley said
upon discovering them: “The truth
is, they don’t know enough even tc
be sick.”—New York Sun.
The Word “ Salary."
The way languages are built up is
very interesting, and the derivation of
the word “salary” is curious as well.
In ancient times Roman soldiers re
ceived a daily portion of salt as part
[>f tlieir pay. Sal is the Latin for salt,
and when the salt was in the course
af time commuted for money, the
amount was called salariuni, or salt
money. Hence our word “salary”
ind lienee, doubtless, the expression,
‘not worth his salt,” that is, not worth
uls “salt-money” or salary.

of iminlgr^-ts tc the United State?

So poor William went to the office,

Since we adopted thd Columbia Stud
Hub and direct tangent spolco over
7,500,000 of these spokes linvo been in
use. We have yet to hear of one break
ing from any cause except collision or
other violent accident. The stud hubs
obviate all pending and twisting of the
spqkes. Columbia, Hart
When yon compare
ford and Vedette bicycles purl for part
with other wheels you find good reason
for their recognized superiority.
