Brooklyn, N. Y., December 20.???[Special.]
After preaching and lectnring in 15 cities of the
union, the Bor. T. DeWftt Talma*??, I). D., has
returned to Brooklyn. He occupied hU pulpit
today, when Brooklyn tabernacle was crowded,
Many being unable to find seats. The auhicct
of Dr. Talmage's sermon was: ???The Winter,
nnd How to Meet It.??? His teat was taken
from Matthew xxiv, 20: ???Pray ye that your
lllght lie not in the winter." Following is the
sermon in Bill:
The inbaldtuMts of the old eltles were here
told that they would liave to ily for their lives.
Such flight would lie painful, even In the flush
of spring time, but superlatively aggravating if
in cold winter; therefore they were told to pray
that their flight ho not in the winter. There
is nomethina in the winter season that not only
testa our physical endurance, hut, especially io
the city, tries our moral charaetcr. Itlstho
winter months that ruin morally and forever
many of our young men. Wo ait In tho house
oil a winter???s night, and hear the storm raging
on the outside and imagine the lie) pleas crafts
driven on tho coasts; hut If our oars were only
good enough we could on any winter night
Vienr the crash of a hundred moral shipwrecks.
Many who come last September to town by
tlw first of March will have been blasted. It
only takes oue winter to ruin a young man.
When the long winter evenings have eome
many of our young men will improve them in
forming a more intimate, acquaintance with
books, con trading higher aocial friendships
mid Mreiigthening and ennobling characters.
But not so w ith all. I will show yoa before
1 get through, that at this season of the year
temptation* me especially rampant, and my
nainsel is, look out how you spend your win*
tip nights.
I remark flrst, that there Is no senson of the
veur in which vicious allurements nro no act*
ivr, Jn warm weather places of dissipation
win their tamest triumphs. People do not
feel like going In tho hot nights of summer
nmotig the blazing gaslights; or breathing the
fetid air of assemblages. Tho receipts of most
grog shops in a December night, aro throe
lifm-a whnt they are in any night in duly or
Align*!. I doubt not tliero ore larger mull
edent * In the Casinos Jn winter than
In the atimnirr weather. Iniquity plica
mere profitable tfhde. December,
January anil February aro Barrett months for
the dovil. The playbills of tho low ontertain*
nihsts then arc more charming, tho acting is
more bxqnUlte, tho enthusiasm of tho spccto-
torn more Switching. Many it young man who
makes ????t to keen Tight the rest of the year
euptlzes tiotv. when he eame???to town lutho
iiuttunn hit eye was bright, his chocks rosy,
hi* step elastic, bat befuro sprfug, as you pass
him, you will aay to font friend: ???What is tho
matter with that young man?" The fact is
that one winter of dissipation has douo tho
work of ruin.
This Is thesewson for parties, and If they aro
oftberight kind, our social nature Is improv
ed slid our spirits are choc red up. But many
of them am not of tho right kind, and our
ynsu??f people night after night aro kept in the
whirl of onhaallhy cxdlvioenb until their
strength fails, and their spirits broken down,
and their taste for ordinary life corrupted; and
by the time the sifring weather comes, they
nrein the doctors lianfls or sleeping In tho
cemetery. The certificate of their death is
made out, and the physician, out of rogard for
the 'family, calls the disease by somo
Latin name, when the tnUh is that they died
of too many parties,

! ifowdaro you, the father of a liou*o-
liold, trifle with tho appetites of our yotiug
people? Perhaps out of regard for the minis
ter or come other weak temperance man, you
have the deranter in a aide-room, where, after
refreshments, only a select few are invited;
nuil you come bark with ?? glare lit
uml n steiieh in your breath tlmt
you have been out serving tho devil.
... give
for this is, that it Is necessary after one
eating, by somo sort of stimulant to???liclp diges
tion. My plain opinion is that if a man have
no more control over his tippetito than to stuff
himself until his digestive organs rofttfto to do
their office, ho ought not to coll himself a man,
but rather to clau himself among tho boast*
that perish. 1 toko tho words of (ho Lord Al
mighty, and cry: ???Wo?? to him tlmt putteth
the Imttl?? to his neighbor's lips."
Young man, take It as tho counsel of a friend
when 1 bid you be cautious where you spend
your winter evenings. Thank tiod that yoa
have lived to sco tho glad winter day sin which
your childhood was made cheerful by tho faces
of fathers and mothers, brothers and sisters,
some of whom, alas! will nover again wish you
a ???Happy New Year*' o?? 4 *A Merry Christmas."
I.it no one tempt yon out of your sobriety.
I have seen respectable young men of the best
fatuili??a drunk ou New Year???s day. The ex
cuse they gave for the Inebriation was that the
ladles insisted on their taking it. There have
bceu Instances where tho delicate hand of
woiunu hath kindled a young man's taste for
strong drink, who after many yrnre,
whin the attraction* of that
holiday scene were all forgotten, crouchod in
Ik* tf gsaud her desolation mid her woo, under
tlie uplifted hand of the drunken monitor
w bis on that Christmas morning so long ago,
took tho glam from her hand. And so the
wunait stands ou the abutment o| the bridge
on iho moonlit night, wondering if down
unCt r the water then* is not soma quiet place
for a broken heart. Sit?? tnke* one wild leap
mid nil i* overt
Oh, mingle not with the harmless beverage
of your festive seme this poison of adders!
Mix not with the white sugar of the cup the
miow of this awftil leprosy! Mar not the clat
ter of cutlery at the holiday frost with tho
clink of a madman'* chain!
Step ami look into the window of that pawn
broker???ll aiicip, Klegant furs, Klepint Watches.
Kieaant scarfs. Klegant flute*. iVo|de stuud
with a phased look gating at these things, but
1 look with a shudder as though 1 had Been
into a window of hell. Whose elegant watch
wV that t It was a drnnkard's. Whoso Airs?
They belonged to a drunkard's wife. Whoso
iluila? Whoae shore? Whose scarf? They be-
longed to a drunkard???s child. If J could I
would tako tho three brazen* balls hanging at
tl.t door-way, and claug them together until
they tolled the awftll knell of the drunkard???s
soli. Tho pawnbroker's shop is only one eddy
uf the great stream of mnuiemit drunkenness.
Struct back, young man! Take not the first
step iu the path that lauds here. Let uot tho
flame of strong drink over scorch your tongue.
YiAi may tamper with these things and escape,
but your influence will be wrong. Can you
not make a a. unlike for the good of others?
When the good idiip London went down, the
captain was told that tlurc w.??su way of escape
iu cue of the life boat*. He aaid: ???No, 1 will
go down with the passenger*," All the world
acknowledged that hendsin.
Can you not deny yourself insignificant
indulge??(i>s for (he good of others?
Be uot allured by the fart that you drink only
the moderate beverages. You take only ale,
uud a tnau has to drink a large amount of it to
hen the Intoxicated. Yes. but there** not in
all the city today an iurhriate that did not be-
giu with ale. ???a XX;" what doc* that mark

any oue who could tell me what this mark

watchftil, at this season all the allurements to
dissipation will he eepa-Ully bmy. Let uot
your flight to bell be in the winter.
I also remark that your winter evenings,
* through their very length, allow great swing
fpr indulgence. Few young men would havo
the tsste to go to tlieir rooms at seven o'clo.k
and sit until eleven, reading Motley???s Dutch
Republic or John Foster???s Essays. The young
men who have i>ccn confined to the store all
day want fresh air and sight seeing; and the;
mutt go somewhere. The most of them have of
winte r'* evening, three or four hours of leisui
Afte r the evening repast the young man pats
on hi* bat and coat and goes out. 4< Come in
here," cries one form of allurement. ???Come
iu here," erics another. ???Go," says Satan;
???you ought to sec for yourself." ???Why
don???t you go?" says a comrade, ???it
Is n thamc fur a young man to be as green as
you arc. By this time you ought to have area
everything."
Especially Is temptation strong when bnsl
lies* is dull. I have noticed that men spend
more money when they have little to spend.
The tremendous question to !>e settled by our
f reat populace, day by day, is, bow to get a
ivelihood. Many of our young men Just star
ting for themselves arc very much discouraged.
They had hoped before this to have set up a
lioiiM-hold of their own. But their gains bar??
been slow, their discouragements many.
The young man enn Hardly take care of
himself. How can he take care of another?
And, to the- curs?? of modern society, before a
young man fa able to set up a homo of lib own,
lie is ??:.\j*eted to havo enough to support in
Idlerne.** somebody else, when God intended
that they should begin together and jolutly
tarn a livelihood. 8o, many of our young men
utterly disc ouraged and utterly unfit to
making no headway. People wish they
bad more time to think. The trouble is, in
dull times, that people have too much time to
think, i iivo to many of our commercial men
the four hours of these winter nights, with
nothing to divert them, and before spring they
will hare lodgings in au insane asylum.
1 remark further that tho winter is espccDl-
ly trying to the moral character of ottr young
men, because some of their homes iu winter
are especially unattractive. In summer they
run sit on the stci** or havo n bouquet in tho
vase on the mantel, and the evenings arc so
short that soon after gaslight they feci like re
tiring. Parent* do not tuko enough pains to
tnnko tlicso long winter night* attractive.
It is strange tlmt old people know so little
olKiut young people. One would think that
they liad never been
born with their spectacles on. It is
dolorous for young people to spend tho three
four hours of u winter???s evening with
parents who sit talking over tlicir own ail
ment* and misfortunes and the nothingness of
this world. How dare you talk such blas
phemy? God was busy six days In making
the world, and 1ms allowed it to
bang six thousand years on his holy heart;
and that world hath fed you and clothed you
nml shone on you for fifty years, and yet you
talk abotft the nothingness of this world! l)o
you oxiicct the young people In your family to
???it a whole evening and hear you groan about
this magnificent star-lighted,Hun-warnicd.siioir-
er-baptlzcd, flower strewn, angel-watchod, God-
inhabited planet? From such homes young
men make a wild plunge into dissipation.
Many of yen have tho means???why uo you
not buy them a violin or a picture? or havo
tour daughter cultured iu music until alio eta
help to muko homo attractive? There arc tou
thousand ways of lighting up thodomcatlc clr?
clc. It requires no largo income, no big
hourc, no rich wardrobe, no cliasou

TOPICS OF THE WEEK.
The widow of General Morgan L. Smith
died in Washington last week. She was once
a reigning belle, but daring the last yean of
her life was known as the ???Queen of tho
Lobby." Some years ago a dark scandal tar
nished her name, and she lost her social pres
tige. A correspondent relates this queer inci
dent in her life:

A FUNKY ceremony has just been performed
at largo, a little Scotch village. This wo* the
dedication of the statue to Aloxandor Selkirk,
the prototype of Robison Crusoe, who was born
tlitre In 1U7G. The statue represents Robinson
Crusoe ns seen in famiiinr engravings, clad in
goat skius, bis gun hold in one hand, and the
other shading his eyes. The Ctrl of Aberdeen
made an nddres*, and his countess unveiled the
itAtue. There was a procession and in it ap
peared a ???Crusoe" and a ???Alan Friday." The
Idea of erecting n statue to a mail who never
did anything except to get shipwrecked and
cast away on an uninhabited island is rather
novel, to say tho least.

O, it is bcautiftil to see n young man living a
life of nurity, standing upright where thous
ands of other young ineu fall! You will
move in hotiorablo circle* all yotir days, and
some old friend of your flit her will meet you
and nay: ???My son,how glad I am to see you
look so well. Just like your father, for all tho
world. 1 thought yon would turn out well
when 1 used to hold you on my knee."
But here i* n young man who tako* the oth
er route. The voice* of siu charm him away,
llo reads Ixul liooks, lives in vicious circles,
loses the glow from his cheek, tho sparkle from
bis r.vc, nml tho purity from his
soul. The good shuu him. Down
he goo*, little by little. They who kuew him
w lien ho conic tu tow n, w kilo vet lingering on
his bead was n pure mother's blessing, and on
his lip tlu* dew of a pure sister's kiss, uow pass
him and say: ?????? What au awful wreck!" His
eyes bleared with frequent carousals, his cheek

Lower down and lower down until, outcast of
God aud *uan, he lies in the almshouaou blotch

nilla out for God, and then for more drink.
New he prays, now runes, now* laughs as
fluids laugh. Then bites hi* nails to tho
uick. Then runs both hauds through tho
urk of hair that hangs about his bend liko

with uplifted list, tights back the devils or
dutches the Nt rtK-uli that seeni w'iualng him

instantly consumed by his cracked lip*. Go
ing his round some morning the surgeon finds
him dead, htraighten the limbs. Yon uoed
uot try to comb out or shove back the matted
lock#. Wrap him in a sheet. Put him in a
box. Two men w ill carry it down to the wagon
at tho door. With chalk write on tho top of
tho box the name of the destroyed.
Do you know who it i???
That U you. oh, uum, if. yielding to tho
temptations to a dissipated life, you go out and
perish. There is a way that aociucth bright

It takes very little to kill a man these days.
Tho numerous deaths nqtortcd from blood
poisoning show that people aro rapidly degen
urating. In St. Louis, last week, Mr. Frank
Hopkins, a wealthy merchant, felt an irritat
ing pain iu his right nostril. In a few days ho
had to take to ills bed. A small bright red
spot appeared on tho end of his no*??.. It spread
to Ills ll)i*, and his physician* found it impossi
ble to check tho inflammation. Tho greater
portion of the fuco became involved and tho
patient suflered interne paiu from flrst to last.
Saturday Mr. Hopkins died. Tho physicians
pronounce it a remarkable case, os deceased
was srnan ofstroug constitution and hod al
ways enjoyed good health.
A good war story makes capital reading, but
somo of the stuff that gets into print is a little
too improbable. Tho New York Commercial
Advertiser has a war episode which doubtless
has very slight foundation. As the story goes,
a federal soldier from New Yoric robbed a
mansion in Virginia of a treasure in gold, silver
aud diamonds amounting to 1*1,000. He pros
pered aud when he died a few years ago he left
n letter urging his son to hunt up the family
despoiled by him, and make proper reparation.
Tho son did not havo much heart for the work,
but ho started out on Ills mission. He fouud
that the only member of the family who had
survived tho war was a young lady, and with
ramie trepidation ho proceeded to pay her a
visit, llo found a pretty dark-eyed beauty,
and his interview was so pleasant that ho for
got to mention his bunluees. He called again.
It was a case of love st first sight.
Tho two married and a portion of the bride???s

Here are a few phenomenal book statistics.
The printer who has the contract for tho pub
lication of the Grant memoirs, says h?? began
work on tho first volurno the first of last June
and completed it the first of tlio present
month, For six months from (cvcaty-five to
one huudred men were 'employed. Seven
binders employing 500 persons were kept busy.
Orders for the book ran upVrom 50,000 to 3Y>.-
000 copies. They will run to 500,000. For
this one book 30,000 reams of paper were used.
Spread out in single yards it would more than

Graphic, ???died hatiug ^he government." ThU
is not true in auy sense. He died bating noth

contempt has been justified every day during
the past twenty years.
