Bbookltx, November 9.???[8peetal.]???At Brooklyn Tabernacle to-day Dr. Talmage after expounding appropriate pauagea of Scripture Ijaveout the byun: "He leadeth me! Oh. bleated thought! Oh, words with heavenly comfort fraught Where ere I go, where ere I be, Still HU God???s hand that leadeth me.??? Dr. Talmage'a text waa taken from Geneaia ii. 22: "Of a rib which the Lord God had taken from man made lie a woman and Drought her unto the man." It is the first Saturday afternoon of the World's existence, said Dr. Talmage. Adam lias since sunrise been watching the pageantry of wings and scales, and while taking his first lessons in toology and ornithology he notices that the robins fly by twos and the fish swim by twos and the lions walk by twos. And in I the warm redolence of that sceno he falls of! into slumber as If by allegory, to impress all nges with the fact that sound and healthful ) Bleep is the grandest ot all earthly blessings this paradiseieal ominolence ended Jn wo man's arrival on the new planet. Of the mother of all the living I to-day dis course. Eve. the first, the fairest and tho best. 1 make me a garden. Its paths I inlay with mountain moss, and border it with shell from Java, and pearls from Ceylon and diamonds from Golconda. Here and there are fountains that toss in the sunlight and ponds that glitter With golden scales, and ripplo under the pad* dliog of swans. I plant me lilies Jrom tho Amazon and crange groves from tho tropic and tamarinds from Goyas. Woodbine and Loneyauckto climb over the walla end starred spaniels sprawl upon tho grass. Among the tree branches, I eall doves and larks and brown threshers that stir I the air with infinite chirp and carol. But this ?? I would be a desert full of bowling and death compared with tho bright residence of the wo- ' man who is tho subject of my morning???s story. Never since Eve such skies looked down through such eaves into such waters. Never since has river wave known such curve or sheen or bank as adorned Pisen, Havitah, Oibon and Hiddekel, the vary pebbles beta] bdellium end onyx stone. What fruits witl no curculio to sting the rind 1 What flowers with no slug to grow the root! What atmos phere with neither chill biaaLto frost nor boat to consume! Sunlight on the waters, bright colors tangled in tb??* grass, perfumo in the air, music In the sky. Biro* warble and trees hum and waters dash. It was all gladness and life and song. Under these bowrni of vine and leaf ami Brub at an altar carpeted with flowers, was tho first marriage. Adam as he .toko* the band of this immuuulate daughter of God pro- totuhcea the ceremonial himself when be says, *???Bone of my bone aud flesh of my flesh."., A forbidden tree stands in tho garden, Eve atrolling out alone ono day comes under it. She says to herself: "What beautilul truitl I wonder how it tastes. Let mo fust put my bands upon it. Yes; ripe and beautiful; 1 will take it down, but not to eat. 8uppoae I just orack the rich timed rind; that can do so harm.??? After awhile sho tasted. Calliug to Adam he also came and tasted. Sin for the first time ia insido the gates of the world, let the heavens put ou gloom and the winds loben the booout of tha hills and from cavern snd from ocean depth and from deserts and from sky lot there come one long, deop. hell- resounding howl: ???The world is lost.???

Upon the brightest home that earth ever saw our parents turned their back'and led forth on a pilgrimage ot sorrow, tho broken hearted myriads of a ruined race. Bee first the danger of an illegal inquisitive- Dess. Healthful curiosity has done mnch for letter*, art, science and religion. With the geologist it has gone down into the earth and read the first chanter of Genesis in the book of Datnre IlluitraUd with engravings on the rock, and from its inspiration the flntiqusrian t bath blown the trunipetofresurrec tion over burird Pompeii and Herculaneum un til their sepulchre* have opened, and shafts,and towers, md amphitheatres have arisen to tho world???s gaze. Curiosity hath attracted the telescopic vision of the astronomer until dis tant worlds have coiuo out of their-biding placet in the furtberest heaven to choir praises of God, while planet' 1*1 weighed against planet snd wildest meteors are lassoed oi resplendent law. It bath found traces of tho eternal God in the polype aud star-fishes In the sea and the majesty of the great Jeho vah encamped u infer the gorgeous curtains of a dahlia. It lath examined the spots on tho Bun and the Jarvnt bidden in a leaf, the light under tho hre ily???a wing and tho terrible glance of the condor pitching from Chlm- oroaza, the myriads of animalcttlae that make the phosporesoent blaze in a ship'a wake and the mighty maze ??f sunt and spheres snd eoustellations and galaxies that blaze on in the inarch of God. Curiosity has inspired tho inventor until forces that for ages lay bidden have come to wheels and levers and shuttles and wings ir numerable, swimming through tha waters, cleaving through the mountains, soaring through the air, until tho whole earth rattles and crushes and roars and rings with strange mechanism and lightening* play kite with philosopher* and ships with nostrils of hot steam and yokes of fire draw together the continent*. We would not condemn the labors ot human In quisitiveness, but we hope that their leyden jars and electric batteries and Voltaic piles and magnifying gists*-* might charge upon the barred castles of the natural world until it should surrender the last secret. Give it wider range, and let new discovery come down from the air and leap up out of the waters and rear from the earth to crown human Inquisitiveness. G????d be praised lor this geolo gical curiosity of Professor Hitchcock, and the zoological curiosity oi Agasis, and the chem ical curiosity of Liebig, and the architectural I curiosity of Christopher Wren, and the inven- < five curiosity of Luwiml i But the inqubi ti veuess of many have rushed them into pn-dirsment.

Whosoever hath a slander, whosoever hath on inuendo, whosoever both a valuable secret let them come and oiler it a sacrifice to this god dess of splutter. Multitudes of Adams snd Evcstpend their whole time in eating fruit that does not belong to them. Borne who are proficient mathematicians have never learned this computation in moral algebra: | Good bense, x Good ???Breeding???Curiosity, | minding your own business. Young people, urged on by their inauisi- tiveness nave ransacked the whole field of French novels to find out whether they are really as bad as moralists have pronounced them. Jutt coming to look over tho parapets they have lost their balance and down they went, dashed into remediless destruction or perchance crawling upon the rocks shattered and bleeding and ghastly, gibbering with curses or groaning ineffectual prayers. Pas sion is a fiery courser tnu driven along dangerous places it may become unmanageable, and at the sudden sound of mirth???s- trumpet bit and nolo break and it lunges like a belt into terrible abysm. ' Again, learn from Eve's career that tome fruits that are pleasant to the taste afterward produce agony. The forbidden fruit was so pleasant to Eve's appetite she is not satisfied until her husband tastes it. But her bsniih- mentfrom Paradise nmltho sufferings, of an entire race were the price paid for tho luxury. Eve is not tho only one who hath sold great happiness for temporary satisfaction. Tho cup of sin always sparkles at the top, but' there is death at tho bottom. Intoxication bath pleasant exhilarations, makes a roan seo five stars where others see ono star, putskpring into the ground, filipps the blood, makes tho poor man feel rich, and cheeks whito as snow red as roses. But what about the dreams that come afterward when they seem falling from great heights snd in an effort to save them selves meeting with other fancied^ disasters till the sweat stands on the brow like the night dews of eternal darkness, and they are ground under the hoofs of horrid nightmares, shriek- ingoutwith ftps that crackle ??? * ltd with feverish torture. Look into that hall of revelry where ungodly mirth staggers and blasphemes. Lis ten to the senseless gabble and watch tho going out of the lust traces of manhood from mou mode from God's own imago. "Ha, ha! this is joy for youf ??? suith a royatoring noighbor. "Fill your cups, my boys!

Who could tell the consequence of that ono sin un less, all at once, he could make tho world throw open all it* prison doors to exj??oso the crimes, and all its hospitals to show tho disease,and all tbe alm-houres to show the squaltor,- and., all tho insane asylums to display the madness, and all the sepulchres to show tho dead, and all the gates of the lost to show the damned. That one Edcnic transgression has lighted up every ungodly passion aud stretched cords of misery over the world, striking them into dolorous woe, and hath seated plagues on the air and shipwrecks on tho tempest and hath fastened famine like a leech on tho sick heart of tho nations oud made 10,000 battlefields groan with horror. Ob, tho deeeitfiilncss of sin I The ground over which it lends you Is hollow, tho fruits it offers to your taste aro poisoned, tho prom ise it makes is a lie. Over this ungodly ban quet the keen, glittering source of Hod???s judgement is suspended. An ominous hand writing is ou tbe wall. 0, thou misguided victim of pleasure, I sound tho alarm! Thy pleasure boat is for from shores. Tho aviumer day is closing roughly* lor the winds and wnvos ore loud-voiced and the ovcr-comiug clouds are all a writho and a ;le*m with terror.

Trust not that too*e plank nor tempt tbe shop, but quickly clasp the feet of Jesus walking upon tho watery pavement, shouting till ho hear thee: "Lord, save, or I porlshI" Again tho biography of Evoteachcamo what ???hocking thing sin is, when appended to great beauty and refinement. Never since Eve???s death has the world seen such per fection of womanhood. Coming directly from tbe band ot God, thcro was not another at traction you could have suggested for her person, nor atolber refinement to her man ners. No gracefulness could have been added to her gait; no sparkle to her eye; no color to her cheek 5 no sweetness to her voice; to bo the companion of a perfect man, and the in habitant of ?? perfect home. God Fad created her and all that beautilul naturo vibrated in accord with the brightness of the scene of Paradise. But she re sisted God???s authority, snd with the same hand with which she had plucked the fruit launched upon unborn generations tho crime end the wars, aud the tomtft, and the woes which hsveiet thouniverse availing. Terrible offset to all her attractiveness. To find men end women naturally vulgar, given up to evil practices, doss not startlo ns very much, for we expect. those who live in tbe ditch to have the manners of tho ditch. But when we find wickedness joined to acuteness of Intellect and attractiveness of manner, wc are startled. The a cc implish- metits of Mary Queen of Scots make her pat ronage of Darnlry, the profligate, the more astounding. The geniua of Catharine II., em press of Hu??is,onTy set off fu more repelling light her unappeasable ambition. The translations which Elizabeth inode from the Latin and the Greek and her extraordinary qualification for a queen only brought out into more vivid contempt her cepriciouscess of affection and haughtiness of temper. Lord Byron???s great ness makes tha more shameful Lord Byron's sensuality. J*t no one think that suavity of bearing or a high style of accomplishment can apologize for vanity or ill-temper or unkind- ness. Disobedience to Ond or unrighteousness towards man will becloud tho mod brilliant attainments. Though your eecomplUhruenU be heaven-high, they will not excuse for vice hell-deep. Again, learn the real influence of woman, .a the power which Eve exercised over Adam, and on tbe destiny of uncounted generations 1 see a type of the power which hor descendant# should ??zeroise. We have no sympathy with the flatter!** that aro showered upon h*r frorp the pulpit end the stage. The true nobilit/of wr man con*M* in the power of a Christian in- fin erica. Eve???s overthrow of Adam and tho race was only sn illustration of wbat power there is now in the frail arm of woman to strike until tho echo ring through eternity, down amoig the caverns or up among the throne*. That influence was not monopot:*ed by such great representative women as Evs who ruined the race with omf fruit plucking, nc r Jael v bo sent a spike through the head ot Sisers. nor of Esther who overcame royalty, nor of Abigail who by her beautiful counte nance arrested a nostila army, nor ol Mary who nursed the world*???

About eighty years ego, iiist before tbe day of their mar riage, my lather and mother stood up in the old meeting-house at Somerville to take the vows of a Christian. Through a long lifo of vioissitude she lived blame lessly and usefully and came to her end in in peace. No child of want ever came to her door and was turned away. No strick en sonl ever appealed to her and was not comforted. No sinner ever asked her the way lo be saved and was not pointed to Christ. When the angel of life came to our neighbor's dwelling, she was there to rejoico at the in carnation; when the angel of death came she was there to robe tbe departed one for burial. .We had b/len heard her while, kneeling among her children at family pray ers, when father was absent say: "I ask not for roy children wealth >r honor; but I do ask that they may all be come the subject* of their converting grace. "6he had seen all of her eleven children gathered into tho church and she had but one more wish and that waa that ahe might again see her missionary ton, and when the snip came from China and anchored in New York harbor and the long absent ono crossed the threshold of hit paternal home, she said, "Now*, Lord, lotteat thou, thy ser vant depart in peace, for mine eye# havo seen thy salvation.????????? we were gathered from afar to see only the bouse from whieh the soul had fled forever.

T. J. Harper, the Georgia Pacific railroad agent at Temple waa assaulted and 'fatally Wounded by robbers late Saturday night. Tbe fatal affair occurred at Temple Saturday night between 11 and 12 o'clock, and intelligence of it reached the cily early vetterday morning. Saturday morning last all trains on the Georgia Pacifio road were thrown off schedule time by a break in a bridge near Birmingham, and the parsenyer train which usually reaches Atlanta at eight o???clock, p. m.. did not arrlvo night before lost, but camo in ???ASLV YEStCKDAT MOSXIVO. * It passed Temple about ten or fifteen min ute* before midnight, and Mr. Harper, who had been advised by tele graph of the broken schedule, was on the watch. He met tho train when it Stopped at the depot, and, as was his custom, received the moil pouch and other packages consigned to that place. The night was dark and the hour so late that all the yillogers wore in, and elone Mr. Harper witnessed tho arrival and departure of the train. As the tiain rolled away the baggage master waved bis band at Mr. Harper who turning around started towards the depot. But he had token only a few steps when a man approached and struck him over tbe head with a stick. The blow was a fearful one and Mr. Harper stag gered backward, Birr wo WOT VAtt. Then gathered himself and made a spring at bis esssilatot, who received biro with a deadly knife, which he began using with terrible effect. The knifo blade was long and keen, and every time it entered Mr. Harper???s flesh an ugly and dangerous wound was made. Mr. Harper was unarmod, but realizing that he was the custodian of tho road???s property at that station he * declined to give in, and with his lantern fought the would- be assassin bravely. Tbe duel between the two men???the one a robber armed with a deadly knife, and tbe other an honest man with nothing but a lantern???was a fear ful one. Tbe night waa intensely dork and SO OMR WAS NKAR to protect the almost defenseless man, vet he itood hi a ground until the loss of blood from a holf score wounds made him aink to the ground almost lifeless. As soon as Mr. Har- 1 >tr fell tho robber turned upon his leels and walked away without even fondling the mail pouoh or tho express packages, or oven searching Mr. Harper???s pock eta. After the rascal had skipped out Mr. liar- I ter made an attempt to crawl to the depot, Hit finding himself too woak ho placed tho mail sack under his head and laid down' to await tho coming of day. well knowing that ho would then be found- Hoon after this a Mr. John- tqn happened to bo out, and hearing Mr. Harper???s groans wont to tho depot to invcstl- f tate.
