'REV.’D'R.7AL/V\AGE: The Emineyi Divine’s Sunday piscourse. Subject: Vlcorle* or rcai.i—The Many UlemilngK For Which Wo Should Bo Thankfult-llualllnery Hus Lightened liurdeiiH—God Sent the Wheel. [Copyright, Louis Klopsch, 1890.1 WasniNOToy, D. O.—This discourse of Dr. Taimnge is a sermon of preparation for the national obsorvnnce aud in an unusual way nails for tho gratitude of tho people; tho text, Ezekiel x., 13, “As for the wheels, it was cried unto them ln My hearing, O wheel!” The last Thursday of tho oloventh month, by proclamation of President and Govor- nors, is observed in thanksgiving for temporal mercies. With what spirit shall we enter upon it? For noarly a year and a half this nation has been celebrating the triumph of the sword and gun aud bat¬ tery. We have sung martial airs and cheered returning heroes nnd sounded the requiem for the slain in battle. Methinks it will be a heaitbful change if this Thuuks- giving week, in church and homestead, we celebrate the victories of peace, for noth- fag was done at Santiago or Manila that was of more importance than that which in the last year has been done in farmer’s Held and mechanic’s shop nnd nutlior’s study by those who never wore an epaulet or shot a Spaniard or went a hundred miles from thoir own doorsill. And now I call your attention to the wheel of the text. Man, a small speck in tho universe, was set down in a big world, high mountains rising before him, deep seas arre-ttng his pathway and wild beasts capable of his destruction, yet ho was to conquer. It could not be by physical foroo, for and com¬ tho pare his arm with the ox’s horn elephant’s tusk, and how weak he isl It could not bo by physical speed, for com¬ pare him to the antelope’s toot and ptar¬ migan's wing, and how slow he is! It DOtild not bo by physical capacity to soar or plunge, for the condor beats him in one direction and the porpoise in tho other. Yet he was to conquer the world. Two eyes, two hands and two feet were insuffl- clent. He must be re-euforced, so God sent the wheel. Twenty-two times is the wheel men- tioned in the Bible, sometimes, as ln Ezekiel, illustrating providential move- meat; sometimes, as ln the Psalms, crush¬ ing the bad; sometimes, as iu Judges, rep¬ resenting God’s charioted progress. The wboel that storied in Exodus rolls on through Proverbs, through Isaiah, through Jeremiah, through Daniel,through Nahum, through the centuries, all tho time gather¬ ing momentum and splendor, world’s until, seeing what it has done for the progress and happiness, we clap our hands in thauks- giving and employ the apostrophe of the toxt, crying, "O wheel!” I call on you in this Thanksgiving week to praise God for the triumphs of machin¬ ery, which have revolutionized the world and multiplied Its attractions. Even para¬ dise, though very picturesque, must have been comparatively dull, hardly anything going on, no agriculture needed, for the harvest was spontaneous; no architecture required, for they slept under the trees; no manufacturor’s loom necessary for the weaving of apparel, for the fashions wore exceedingly simple. To dress the garden could not have required ten minutes a day. Having nothing to do, they got into mis¬ chief and ruined themselves and the race. It was a sad thing to be turned out of par- adise, but, once turned out, a beneficent thing to be compelled to work. To help man up and on God sent the wheel. If turned ahead, the race advances; if turned back, the race retreats. To arouse your gratitude and exalt your praise I would show you what tho wheel has done for the domestic world forthe agricultural world, lor the traveling world, for the literary world. "As for the wheels, it was cried unto them iu my hearing, O wheel!” In domestic life the wheel has wrought revolution. Behold the sewing machine! It has shattered the housewife’s bondage and prolonged woman’s life and added immeas¬ urable advantages. The needle for ages had punctured the eyes and pierced the side and made terrible massacre. Te pro- pare tho garments of the whole household in the spring for summer and iu the au¬ tumn for winter was an exbnusting pro¬ cess. “Stitch, stitch, stitch!” Thomas Hood set it to poetry, but millions of per¬ sons have found it agonizing prose. Slain by the sword, we buried the hero with the "Dead March”in“Saui” and flags at half mast. Slain by the needle, no one knew it but the household that watched ber health giving way. Tho winter after that the children were ragged and cold aud hungry or in the almshouse. The hand that wielded the needle had forgotten its cunning. Soul and body had parted .from at the the sehm. The thimble had dropped palsied Anger. The thread of life had snapped nnd let a suffering human life drop into the grave. The spool was all un¬ wound. Her sepulcher was digged not with sexton’s spade, but with a sharper and chorter implement—aneodle. ornamented Federal and Confederate dead have graves at Arlington Heights and Richmond and Gettysburg, thousands by thousands, but it will take the archangel’s trumpet to find the million graves of the vaster army of women needle slain. Besides nil the sewingdone forlthe house¬ hold at home, there are hundreds of thou¬ sands of sewing women. The tragedy of thoneedlels the tragedy of hunger and cold and iusult and home-slojcuess and sui¬ cide—flvo nets. But I hear the rush of a wheel, woman puts on the band and adjusts the instru¬ ment, puts her foot on the treadle and be¬ gins. Before the whir and rattle pleurisies, consumptions, headaches, backaches, heartaches, are routed. The needle, once an oppressive tyrant, becomes a cheerful slave—roll and rumble and roar until the family wardrobe is gathered, and winter fs defied, and summer is welcomed, and the ardors aud severities of the seasons are overcome; winding the bobbing, threading the shuttle, tucking, quilting, ruffling, cording, embroidering, under-braiding set to music; lock stitch, twisted loop stitoh, crocket stitch, a fascinating ingenuity. No wonder that at some of the learned Institutions, like the New Jersey State Normal school, ami Rutgers Female insti¬ tute, and Elmira Female college, acquaint¬ ance with tho sewing machine is a requisi¬ tion, u young indy not being considered educated until she understands it. Winter is coming on, and the household must be warmly clad. “The Last Rose of Summer” will sound better played on a sewing ma¬ chine than on a piano. Roll on, O wheel of the sewing machine, until the last shackled woman of toll shall be emanci¬ pated! Roll on! Secondly, I look into the agricultural world to see what the wheel has accom¬ plished. Look at the stalks of wheat and Oats, the one bread for man, the other bread for horses. Coat off and with a cradle made out of flvo or six Angers of wood nnd one of sharp steel, the harvester wont across tho field, stroke after stroke, perspiration rolling down forehead and cheek and chest, head blistered by the con¬ suming sun and lip parched workmen by the merci¬ less August air-, at noon the lying hall lead under the trees. One of my most palm ’1 boyhood memories is that of my fathek iu harvest time reeling from ex¬ haustion over the doorstep, too tired to eat, pate and fainting as he sat down. The grain brought to the barn, the sheaves were unbound pnd spread on a threshing floor, and two men with flails stood oppo¬ site each other, hour after hour and day after day, pounding thr wheat oat of the stalk. Two strokes, and then a cessation of sound. Thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, tli mpl Pounded os«e and then turned over' to be pounded cackled again, aad clucked slew, very sJow. The hens by the door and picked up the loose Brains and the serges half asleep aud dozing over tlsc mangers whore the huy had been. Can yon Imagine anything more beautl- ful than the sea Island cotton? I take up the unmolted snow In my haud. Howheau- tiful It Is! But do you know by what pains- taking and tedious toil it passed examined Into any¬ thing that like practicality? It you full seeds. cotton, you would find it of It was a severe process by which the seed was to bo extracted from the liber. Vast populations were leaving the South be¬ cause they could not make any living out of tills product. Ono pound of green seed cotton was all that a man could propurem one day, but Ell Whitney, a Massachusetts Yankee, woke up, got a handful of cotton and went to constructing a wheel for the pnrting of the liber and the seed. Teeth on oyllnders, brushes on cylinders, wheels on wheels. South Carolina gave him $50,030 for Ills Invention, and, Instead of ono man taking a whole day to prepare a pound of cotton for the market, now he may prepare three hundredwolght, andtho Siouth Is enriched, and the commerce of the world Is revolutionized, and over 8,. 000,000 bales ot cotton wero prepared this this year, enough to keep at woric iu coun¬ try 14,300,000 spindles, employing 270,000 hands and enlisting $ 281 , 400,000 of capital. Thank you, Ell Whitney, aud I,. S. Chi- obester, of New York, his successor. Above all, thank God for their inventivo genius, that has done so much for the prosperity of the world. Thirdly, I look to see what the wheel has done for the traveling world. No one can tell how many noble and self sacrificing Inventors have been crushed between the conch wheel and the modern locomotive, between the paddle and the ocean steamer. I will not enter Into the controversy as to whether John Fitch or ltobert Fulton or Thomas Somerset was the Inven¬ tor of the steamboat. They all suf¬ fered and wero martyrs of the wheel, and they shall he honored. John Fitch wrote: “The 21st ot January, 1743, was the fatal time of bringing me Into existence. I know of nothing so perplexing and vexatious and to a man of feeling as a turbulent wife steamboat building. I experienced the former aud quit in season, and had I been in my right sensos I should undoubtedly have treated the latter iu the same man¬ ner; but, for one man to be teased with both, he must be looked upon as the most unfortunato man in the world.” See the train move out of one of our great depots for a thousand-mile jour¬ ney! All aboard! Tickets clipped and baggage cheoked and porters attentive to every want, under tunnels dripping with dampness that never saw the light; along ledges whore an inch oft the track would he the difference between a hundred men living aud a hundred dead, full head of steam and two men in the locomotive charged with all the responsibility ot whistle and Westinghouse broke. Clankl clankl go the wheels. Clankl clank! echo the rocks. Small villages only hear the thunder and see the whirlwind us the train shoots past, a city on the wing. Thrilling, startling, sublime, magnificent spectacle— a rail train iu lightning procession. While the world has been rolling on the eight wheels of the rail car or the four wheels of the oarriage or the two wheels of tho gig it was not until 1870, at the Cen¬ tennial Exposition at Philadelphia that the miracle of the nineteenth century rolled in—the bicycle. The world could not believe its own eyes, and not until quite far on iu the eighties were tho continents enchanted with the whirling, flashing, dominating spectacle of a machine that was to do so much for the pleasure, the business, the health aud the profit of nations. The world had needed It for G,000 years. Fourthly, I look into the literary world and see what the wheel lias accomplished. I am more astounded with this than any¬ thing that lias preceded.' Behold the al¬ most miraculous printing press! Do you not feel the ground shake with the ma¬ chinery of the New York,Brooklyn, Boston, Philadelphia, Washington, and Western dailies? Borne of us remember when the hand ink roller was run over the cylinder, and by great hasto 800 copies of the village newspaper were issued In ono day and no lives lost. But invention has crowded in¬ vention and wheel jostled wheel, stereo¬ typing, olectrotyplng, taking their places, Benjamin Franklin’s press giving way Wash¬ to the Lord Stanhope press, and the ington press and the Victory press aud the Hoe perfecting press have been set up. Together with the newspapers comes the publication of innumerable books of his¬ tory, of poetry, of romance, of art, of travel, of biography, of religion, diction¬ aries, encyclopedias and Bibles. Some of these presses send forth the most accursed stuff, but the good predominates. Turn on with wider sweep and greater velocity, O wheel—wheel ol light, wheel ot civiliza¬ tion, wheel of Christianity, wheel of divine momentum! On those four wheels—that of the sewing muohlne, that of the reaper, that of the railroad locomotive, that of the printing press—the world has moved up to its pres¬ ent prosperity. And now I gather on an imaginary plat¬ form, as I literally did when I preached ln Brooklyn, specimens of our American products. Here Is corn from the West, a foretaste ot the great harvest that is to come down to our seaboard, enough for ourselves and for foreign shipment. Here is rioe from the South, never a more beautiful produot grown on the planet, mingling the gold and green. Here are two sheaves, a sheaf of North¬ ern wheat aud a sheaf of Southern rice, bound together. May the band never brenkl Here Is cotton, the wealthiest product of America. Here Is sugar caue, enough to sweeten the beverages of an em¬ pire. Who would think that out of such a humble stalk there would come such a luscious product? Here are palmetto trees that have ln their pulses the warmth of southern climes. Here is the cactus of the South, so beauti¬ ful and so tempting It must go armed, Here are the products of American mines. This Is iron, this is coal, the iron repre¬ senting a vast yield, our country sending forth one year 800,000 tor.3 of it, the coal representing 160,000 square miles of it, the iron prying out the coal, the coal smelting the iron. This Is silver, silver from Colorado and Nevada, those places able yet to yield sliver napkin rings and sliver knives nnd silver casters and stiver platters for all our people. Here is mioa from the quarries of New Hampshire. How beautiful it looks in the sunlight! Hero Is copper from Lake Su¬ perior, so heavy I dare not lift it. Here Is gold from Virginia and Georgia. imaginary plat¬ I look around me on this form, aud it seems as it the waves of agri¬ cultural, mineraloglcnl, and pomological there wealth four dash to the platform, are beautiful beings that walk in, and they are all garlanded.

"Here at home a bluff doesn't count for much,” said a globe-trotter, “but I’m teHing you that a good, stiff bluff, with a cheeky American behind it, is worth a lot of money in Europe. When I got around to Nice last year the best hotels were crowded, and I had to take up with a small room. On the same floor was a German who was occupy¬ _ ing a suite, though not spending much money or putting on any great style. One day there was a great row. The landlord had asked him as a particular favor to vabate for a newcomer and, of course, the man didn't propose to be turned out. The landlord coaxed and argued, aud the German growled and muttered, aud I followed them down to the office to see how it would come out. At the desk was an American I had run across in Venice—a buyer for a Chicago dry goods house. When the landlord and the German began to gab¬ ble in chorus the buyer pulled a blank check from his pocket and reached for a pen and said: “ ‘All this talk is of no use. I want rooms here. I will buy the hotel and select my suite. Sir, what is your cash price for this hotel?’ “‘You would buy the hotel?” ex¬ claimed the landlord, as he threw up lifs hands in surprise. “ ‘Grounds and all, and I want it to¬ day. How much—a million—three or four? And what name shall I fill ln on the check?” “Say, now,” laughed the tourist, “but you ought to have seen that thing work! The German had determined to be ugly about It, but when he bumped up against a man who had as soon pay four millions as one for what he fan¬ cied he felt awed and humbled and ready to quit The landlord figured that to turn away such a Croesus would ruin his house, and It wasn’t half an hour before the bluffer was in¬ stalled in the suite and the German was chucked into a dog hole on the top floor. And that wasn’t all, mind you. When they sent the buyer a bill based on Ills supposed millions he got up and threatened to buy up the town and dtart six soap factories to running, and they cut every item in two and begged his pardon to boot. I don’t belieye that chap had $1,000 to his name, but he just walked over everything and every¬ body for two weeks, and it was current gossip that he owned the whole of Chi¬ cago and a good share of St. Louis and Cincinnati.

The Betting Mania Has Permeated the Whole National Lite. ••IH tny opinion,” _ _ said _ Gladstone. ,, "there can be no words too strong for denouncing suitably the abominable practice of gambling.” A sweeping as- section, truly, yet none who has stu- died the subject can regard it as a gree too sweeping. To-day the xaming problem thrent- ens England with a graver menace than perhaps ever before. Never has it so permeated the whole national life; never has it stood so safely under the protection of the law as it does to-day. Kocent judicial decisions have given professional gamesters freedom which even ten years ago would have seemed incredible. In the early part of this century the betting mania was confined within comparatively limited circles; to-day it burns like a fever in every vein of the body politic. There is hardly a class or a section of the community that does not. week by week, almost day by day, yield its tribute of ruiued lives, of blasted honor, of broken repu¬ tations, of shattered homes to the craze. The foremost gentleman of the land is the leading patron of the turf; mem hers of the- Privy Council take chief part in the committee of the Jockey Club; more than one of our great judges are noted for their regular .Th¬ ings. From the highest to the lowesl it is much the same in every class. There Is hardly a workroom or office In which betting is not one of the twu principal subjects of conversation. In East End streets, London, you see the ragged babies seated on the curb¬ stones, with their shoeless feet in the muddy gutters, playing with toy cards for farthing stakes. The older boys amuse themselves with pitch and toss, carefully delegating one of their party as watchman, to proclaim the ap¬ proach of a policeman. In the factories of the north and of the midlands girls and women are the most eager and enthusiastic gamblers. The growth of the working woman gambler is one of the saddest features of all. A few weeks ago a woman was arrested as a bookmaker. Every now and then a case comes in the police courts of a domestic servant who stolo her master's money to “have a bit her fancy.” Recently it was shown in court tliat a woman had sold her very clothes to gamble. The gambling business is organized as perhaps no other in this country is. There are at least 10,000 bookmakers live off it—parasites on our national life. They have their touts inside or outside of every workroom, who liter¬ ally force themselves on the young me¬ chanic or factory hanu. In Govern- ment departments, such as Woolwich arsenal, it has been found necessary to take the most elaborate precautions to stop the work of these touts, so pat¬ ent is the ruin they effect.—The Puri¬ The Power of Whistling, “George, George, mind; your hat will be blown off It you lean so far out of the window!” exclaimed a fond father to his little son, who was traveling with him in a railway carriage. Quick¬ j ly snatching the hat from the head of the refractory youngster, papa hid It behind his back. “There, now, the hat has gone!” he cried, pretending to be angry. And George immediately set up a howl. After a time the father re¬ marked: “Come, be quiet; if I whistle your hat will come back again.” Then he whistled, aud replaced the hat on the boy’s head. “There, it's back again, you see.” Afterward, while papa was talking to mamma, a small, shrill voice was heard saving: “Papa, papa, I've thrown my hat out of the window!
