8 THE WEEKLY CONSTITUTION 1 '. ATLANTA*, GA., TUESDAY DECEMBER 22 1885. TALMAGE AT HOME. SERMON PREACHED IN BROOKLYN TABERNACLE YESTERDAY. TO* Orsot Dirts*. After ??? Leotstriag Towr. Return i Brooklyn, and Freooftee ?? Jtasterlj ??er??on onjtha Ontyect of Ut?? Teraptetlons nod Dangers of the Wlntor ????????????on. 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, Awnr with these tics! ~ ??? Awnv with' these wi nr-drink lug convivial!* ! 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 miaul "XXX** on the beer barrels; ???XXX* ou the brewer???s dray: ???XXX" on the door of ihc gin shop; ???XXX" on tho sido of the 1 Kittle. Not being aide to find any oue who could tell me what this mark lueana, 1 have had to guess that the whole thing waaan allegory: ???XXX??????that is, thirty heart breaks, thirty agonies, 'thirty desolated Itomca, thirty chances fora drunkard'* grave, thirty ways to perdition. ???XX X!??????lf I were to write a story tho first chanter would be ???XXX;" the last the pawnbrokers shop. Be 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 silver, nogorgeoas upholstery, hut n parental heart awake to its duty. Have a doleful homo 111 i . i yoi _ _ you block un tho door with J to them a million catechisms. I saiel to a man; ???This Is a beautiful tree in front of your house." Ho' answe red with a whine: ???Yos; but it will fade." I said to him: ???You havo a beau tiful garden." Ho replied: ll Yos, but it will pe rish." 3 found out afterwards that his son was a vagabond, and 1 was not surprllod at it.

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 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. 8am Jones has an admirer, or a persecutor in St. Lotiis named Judge T. G. C. Davis. From time to time the evangelist inspires tho Judge w ith a flash of poetic Arc. Tho other day the poc-t broke out into the following ???train : Jones never groans, Jones never moans*, I,ike crazy crones; Nor lazy, own* The devil for his king, when by work he may awing Him high upon a string that will discrown him king. This was in itself a pretty good tribute, but Judge Davis was not satisfied. 8o he added (his verse: Jones is the man Made on a plan That few can wan The |??rophct Dsn.

But his heart I wouhi encase with the scale* of a monster, thou fill wjtli pride, with boast line** of desire, with recklessness, with, hypocrisy, with death. Then I would have him touched with seme rod of disenchantment until his two eyes would hccomo the cold orbs of the adder; and ??m his lip would come the foam of raging in toxication; mid to his feet tho spring of tho imuthcr; and Ills soft hand would become tho ( lummy hand of a wasted skeleton; while sud denly from hi* heart would burst in crackling and all-devouring fury tho uuquenclutble fin me; and in tho nflVrted lisp of his totumo wou Id comet ho kiss of the worm t hat never ales. But, uutil disenchanted, nothing but mvrrh and lailiu nml ringlet and diamond and flute like voire and conversation aromatic, facile and Frenchy. 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.

Tho great preacher started in lifo with an iron constitu tion, but the strain of preaching twlco every Sunday in one of tho largest churches in the World has been too much for him. 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 ??? inheritance is uow being spent on their wed- ding trip. Now, this may strike the northern mind a# a nice war story, bat down this way people will fail to appreciate It. Boiled down, it iiiuouuta to this: Tho sou of a thief tricked the daughter of his father's victims into a mar riage. ThU is all there is in it. A CoxKEtTicrr deacon who recently eloped with two women is described a* ???running like n Wntcrbury watch." Of course ho made good time. ^ Thk evangelist campaign in St. Louts, con ducted by Messrs.
