Y., November 22???[Speelal.l Dr. Telmage preached thie morning in th* Brooklyn tabernacle, on the subjoct, "tfleiei off. the Siege.?????? Before the aermon he ex- pounded the 21th chapter of Acta, concerning raul???e appeal unto Our. The opeclo; hymn waai "Oar God, our help Inagei pul, Onr hope for yean to come." The text wae from Job, xxvil:2S: "Men ahall clap their handa at him and ehall hlae him out of hie piece.??? Following ia ???the aer- men in fall: Thie alluaion acema to be dramatie. The Bible more than once makce ouch alluaion. raulaaya: ???We ere made a theater (or epee* tacle) to angele and to men.??? The theater ia ao old that no one can fix the date ol Ita birth. Archilecuo, Simonidee and Solon, who wrote for it dithyramblca, lived about aix or aeven hundred yearn before Cbrial. It ia evident from the text that aome of the habita oi the theatre go,re were known in Job???a time, becauae in the text he deacriboa an actor hfued off the alage. The imperaeaa - tor comae on the boerda, and either through lack of etudy ol the part he ietaheor inapt- neae or other incapacity, the andlenca ere of fended, and expreae their diaapprobatlon and . jOnguL ??? male terrific aibilation" until he diaappeaYa behind the cnrlain. "Men ahail clap their handa at him and ehall hiaa him ont of hie place." Ur text anggaat that each one of na ia put on the atage of thie world to take aome part. McCullough, the actor recently burled, waa no more certainly appointed on any occaaion to appear aa Spartacua, or Edwin I-'orrert aa King Lear, or Charlotte Cuahman aa Meg Merriliee, or John Kemble u Macbeth, or Coohe at Riohard III., or Kean aa Othello, than yon aid I are expected to take coma eaprcial and particular part ia the great drama of human and immortal lifle. Through what bardahlp and coffering and dlacipliaa three artiata went year alter year that they might be perfected in their parti, you have often read. But we, put on theetige oi thia life to repreoent charity and faith and humility and helpfulneaa???what little proper* atlon we have made, although we have three gallerlta of apeetatora, earth and heaven and nail. Have we not been more atlentiva to the part taken by cthora than to the part taken by ourtelvee, and while we needed to be looking at home end concentering on onr own duty, we have been crilicialng the other performer, and laying "that waa too high??? or "too low" or"toofreole"or"ton extravagant" or "too lama" or "loo damonatrative," while wo were making ounelvee a deed failure and prepar ing to be ignomlnioualy hliacd oS the stage? Each one la aaalgned a place, no aupornumer- erira hanging around the drama oi life to take thia erthei or the other part,aa he may be called upon. No one can take onr places. We can take ao other place. Aye, It ia not the impcracnatlon of another, wo ouraelvoa are the real merchant of Venice or the real ahy ??? lock, the real filial Cordelia or the real cruel Regan, the real Portia or the real Lady M acbcth. The 1 raged ian oi the piayhouae, at the cloeeol the third acene oltho filth act, lehiacffilltheattireofGonialoo or Edward Mortimer or Henry V., and roeigne the char acter in which for three houra he appeared. But we never put off our character and no change of apparel can make ua any one elae than that which we eternally are. Many make a failure of their part in the drama of life through dleetpatlon. They have enough intellectual equipment and good ad- dreae and geniality unbounded. But they have a wine cloaet that contain, all the foroee for their nodal and buaintaa and moral over throw. So far back ao OSD, King Edgar, of England, made a law that the drink cup ahould have pine fastened at a certain print in the side, eo that the indnlgent might be re minded to atop before he got to the bottom. But than ate ao pine projecting from the oidae of the medera wine cap or bier mug, and the firat point at which mlllione atop is at the gravelly bottom of their own grave. Dr. Bax, of France, hie recently discovered something whioh all drinker, ought to know. He has found out that aloobol In every ehtpe, whether of wine or brandy or beer, contain panalUc life, called baclllni potumaiin. By towerfal microeoope, these living thing! are discovered, and when you take atrong drink you take them Into the alomacb, and then Into y onr blood, and getting into the crinolines- nalaol life, they go info every Uaineofyonr body and your entire orgauiam ia taken pre- scislon of by these noxious infinitMimals. When in delirium tremens, a man ??? sees every form of reptilian lift, It ft only these parasites ol the brain in exaggerated also. Ii is not a hallucination that too victim is Buffering from. He only aces in the room what ia aotually crawling and rioting in bla own brain. Every time you take atrong drink yon swallow thaae maggots, and ovary lime the imbiber of alcohol in any shape feele vertigo or rheumatism or nausea, it is only the jubilee of those maggots. Efforts are being mode lor the discovery of aome ger micide that can kill the parasites of alcohol ism, but the only thing that will ever extir pate them is abstinence from alcohol aud tee total abstinence, to whioh I would before Ood swear all three young men and old. America is a fruitful country and wo raise large crops of wheat and corn and oats,but the largest crop we rails in thia country is the crop of drunkards. With tickle made out of the sharp edges of the broken glass of bottle and demijohn they are cut down, and there are whole awathes of them,whole wlnrowi ol them, and it takas all the hoapilalaknd pinltantiarlea and graveyard, and eemateriae to hold this lorveatofhell. Bums of you are going down under this evil and the never-dying worm ol alcoholism has wound around you one of lie coils, end by next New Year???s day it will have another coil around you, and U will after a while put a coil around your tongue and a coil around your brain and a colt around j cur lung ana a coil around your foot and a coil around your heart and aome day thie never-dying worm will with one spring tighten all the coils at ones, and In the last twistof that awful convolution yon will cry cut, "Ob, my God!" and he gone. The great- tsicf dramatists, in the tragedy of the Tern- etage fits- rnJ queenly and prineely naturae efoggering forward against the footllghta of eoaaplonity, and then ataggering back into failure, till the weald ia impatient lor their disappear ance, end human and diabolic voioaa jwa in- hissing them efl the atage. Many also n failure in the drama, of life through indolence. They ere always making calculation hew lUUe they sen de for the compiasHon they get There jura more Iszy ministers, doctors, mar cheats, artists and farmers than have aver been counted upon. Community la tall of laggardo and shirkers. I cub tell ft from the way Utoy crawl along the street, from their terdiaeee in meeting en gagements, from the lethargies that eaem to hang Urn foot when they lilt It, to Urn hand whan they put It np, to the words when tfc $Sro^fonngmen in oatora. Id th* morning the cne goat tohio post tbo lust minute or one minute behind. Tie other ie tea minutes hs- fose the time end has hie hat and seat hung np, and ie at hie peel waiting far date. The cue is ever and ana in the afteraboa looking at hie watch to see If tt is not most time to made to he eve hews* right, *r to pnt np some goods that had been lolt out oi plnce. The one is very punctilious nbout doteg work not exactlv belonging to him. The other is gitil to help tbo other clerks in their work. The first will be a prolonged nothing, end he will be poorer at elxty than nt twenty. The other will be a merchant prince. Indolence ia the cense ot more feiluree iu all occupations than you have ever suspected. People are too lexy to do what they can do, end want to undertake that which they can not do. In the drama of life they don't want to be a common eoldler carrying a hilberd ???cross tbo stage, or a falconer or a mere at tendant, and eo lounge about the tccscs till they ehall be cslled to be n Macready or a Junius Brulut Booth. They esy, "give me tbo nsrt ol Timon of Athoae rather, than that of Flavius his steward." "Lit ms be Cymbe- line the king,rather than Tisano the eervant.??? Alter awhile they, by some accident ol pros parity or elrcumetaneee, get In the place foi which they have no qualification. And very soon, If the man be a merchant, he ie goieg around asking his creditors to compromise lor ten cents on the dollar. Or, If e clergyman, be is making tiradea against the ingratitude ot churchte. Or, if an attorney, by unskillful management he loeoe a cue in which widows end orphans arc robbed of their portion. Or, if a physician, hs by malpractice gives his pi- tient rapid transit from this world to the next, as the clumsy surgeon of Charles II, king of Navsrrv, having sawed up the feeble limbs of tbs king in a sheet soaked of inllemmsble materiel, and having no kuiio to cut the thread, took a caudle to barn off the thread, and the bandagec took fire and consumed the king. Our incompetent friend would have made, splendid boreedo trr, but be wanted to ba nrotossor of anstom' in a university. Ha could have arid cnourL confectionery to have supported hie family, but ho wanted to have a augur refinery like the Usvemeysrs. He could have mended ???bcee, but he wanted to mend the confutation ol the Fnited Sides. Toward the and of life thrie people are out of patience, out of money, out ot friends, out of everything. They go to the poorbouso or kerp out of it oy running iu debt to til tfae grocery end dry goods stores that will trust them. Feopie begin to won der when the curtain will drop on the scene, After e while. leaving nothing but their com pliments to pay their doctor, undertaker end Gabriel Grubb, the grave digger, they diasp peer. Exeunt! Hueed off the stage! Oihere fail In the drams of Isle through demonstrated selOebceie. They make all the riven empty into the tea, all tha roads of rmolnmeni end at their door, aud thay gather all tha plumes ot honor for their brow.

They feel about the common peo ple si the Turks felt toward tha Asapl or oom- mon soldiers, considsring them of no use ex cept to fill up the ditehee with their dead bodies while the other troops walked over thorn to take Ihe forI.
