DR TALMAGE’S SERMON. EVILS OF BOARDING-HOUSES AND HOTELS. Ker. Dr Talmage’. eighth sermon of the series i n the ’‘Marriage Ring," related to the evils of boarding-houses and hotels, and was preached from the following text: “And brought him to an inn and to >k <aro of him. And on the morrow, when he departed, he took out two pence and gave them to the host and said unto him. Take care of him, and whatsoever thou expendeth more when I (•omengain I will repay thee." —St Luke, x., :M. 35. The following is the sermon iu full: This is the good Samaritan paying the hotel bill of a man who had lieen robbed and almost killed by bandits. The good Samari tan had found the unfortunate on a lonely, rockv road, where to this very day depre la ti(ins'are sometime ommitted upon travelers, and had put the injured man into the saddle, while this merciful and well-to-do man had walked, till they got to the hotel and the wounded man was put to tied and cared for. It must have been a very superior hotel in its accommodations for, though in the country, the landlord was paid at tho rate of what in our country would be four or five dollars a day a penny being th n a day’s wages and the two pennies paid in this case about two slays’ wages. Moreover it was one of those kind-hearted landlords who are wrapped up In the happiness of their guests, because the good Samaritan leaves the poor wounded fellow to his entire care, promising that when he came that way again lie would pay all the bills until the invalid got well. Hotels and boarding homes are necessities. In very am lent times they were unknown, because the world had comparatively few in habitants and were not much given to travel, and private hospitality met all the wants of sojourner/, as w hen Abraham rushed out at Mamre to invite the three men to sit down to a dinner of veal: as when Lydia urged the apostles to accept of her home as when the people were positively commanded to be given to hospitality; as in many of the places in the East these ancient customs are prac ticed to-day. But wo have now hotels pre sided over by good landlords and boarding houses presided over by excellent host or hostess in all neighborhoods, villages and cities, and it is our congratulation that those of our own laud suri>assall other lands. They rightly become the permanent residents of many piople such as those who are without families, such as those whose business keeps them migratory, such as those who ought not, for various reasons of health or peculiarity of circumstances, take upon themselves the cares of housekeeping. Many a man falling sick in one of these boarding houses or hotels has been kindly watched and nursed, and by the memory of her own sufferings and losses the lady at the head of such a house has done all that a mother could do for a sick child, and the slumberless eye of God sees and appreciates her sacrifices iu behalf of the stranger. Among the most marvelous cases of patience and Christian fidelity are many of those who keep boarding houses, enduring without re sentment the nnreasimahle demands of their guests for expensive food and attentions for which they are not willing to pay an equiva lent; a lot of cranky men and women who are not worthy to tie the shoe of their queen ly lat.ier. Th > outrageous way iu which boarders sometimes act to their landlords and landladies show that these critical guests had bad early rearing, and that in the making up of their natures all that constitute the gentle man and lady were left out. Some of the most princely men and some of the most ele gant women that I know' of to-day keep Hotels and boarding houses; have given up their homes and taken apart ments, that they may have more freedom from uomestic duties and more time for so cial life, and because they like the whirl of publicity better than the quiet and privacy of a residence they can call their own. The lawful use of these hotels and boarding-houses is for most people while they are in transitu, but as a terminus they are in many cases de moralize! ion, utter and complete. That is the point at which families innumerable have liegun to disintegrate. There never has been a tune when so many families, healthy and abundantly able to support and direct homes of their own, have struck tent and taken permanent abode in these public estab lishments. It is an evil wide as christendom, and by voice and through the newspaper press I utter warning and burning protest, and ask Almighty God to bless the work, whether in the hearing or reading. In these public earavanseries the demon of gossip is apt to get full sway. AH the board era run daily the gauntlet of general inspec tion —how they look when they come down in the morning, and when they get in at night, and what they do for a living, and who they receive as guests in their rooms, and what they wear, and what they do not weai-, and how they eat, and what they eat, and how much they eat. and how little they eat If a man proposes in such a place to be isolated, and reticent and alone, they will be gin to guess about him—who is he? where did he come from? how long is he going to stay? has he paid his board I how much does he pay? perhaps he has committed some crime and does not want to be known;. there must lie something wrong about him or he would speak. The whole house goes ‘ ‘into the detective business. They must find out about him. They must And out about him right away. If he leaves his door unlocked by accid.mt he will find that his rooms have been inspected, his trunk explored, his letters folded differ ently from the way they were folded when he put them away. Who is he? is the question asked with intenser interest until the subject has become a mono mania. The simple fact is that he is no body in particular, but minds his own busi ness. Thu best landlords and landladies can not sometimes hinder their places from be coming a pandemonium of whisperers and reputations are torn to tatters and evil sus picions are aroused and scandals started and the parliament of the family is blown to atoms by some Guy Fawkes who was not caught in time, as was his English predeces sor of gunpowder reputation. The reason is that, while in private homes families have so much to ke p them busy, in these promiscuous and multitudinous residences there are so many who have nothing to do, an 1 that always make: mischief. They gather in each other’s rooms an 1 spend hours in consultation about others. If they had to walk a half mile be fori they get to the willing ear of some mt mer to detraction, they would get out of bieath before rea -hing there and not feel in full glow of animosity or slander, or might, because of the distance, not go at all. But ro urn, 20, 21. 22, 23, 21 and 25 are on the same : : :or. and when ouo carrion crow goes <aw ’’' all the other crows hear it and to k together over the same < arcass. “Oh, 1 have heard something rich; sit down and let me tell you all about it." And the first gu.luw increases th • gathering and it has tO i a 'l over again, and as they separate each carries a spark from th ■ altar of Gib to some other 'm’rle, until from the coal heaver in the cellar tot.: uia.il in tl e top r-o nos the garret, all a :eawareof the defamation, and thaleven ‘“g a11 " “O leave the house will bear it to other houses^until autumnal fires sweeping a '-’ms lilc.oi praiie are less raging and rw.it‘liau that flame of consuming reputa tion blazing a roa the village or city.

And while you are pulling the chick-weed out of their garden yours will get all overgrown with horse-sor rel and mullen stalks. Ono of the worst damage: that comes from the herding of so many people into boarding houses an I family hotels is inflicted upon children. It isonly another way of bringing them up on the commons. While you have your own private ho is ■ you cun for the most part control their compnni.insbip and their whereabouts hut by twelve years of age in these public r.sorts they will have picked up all till' <ad things that can be furnished by the prurient minds of dozens of people. They will overhear blashemies mid se - quarrels and get precocious iu sin, and what the liar-tender does not tell them the porter or hostler or bell boy will. Beside that, the children will go out into the world without the restraining, anchoring, steady ing and all-controlling memory of a homa I roin that none of us who have been blessed ol such memory have escaped. It grips a man for eighty years if he lives so long. It pulls him back from doora into which he other wise would enter. It smiteshim with contri tion in the very midst of his dissipations. As the fish already surrounded by the long wide net swim out to sea thinking they can go as far as they please and with gay toss of silvery scale they defy the sportsman on the beach, and after while the fishermen begin to draw in tho net. hand over hand and hand over hand, aud it is a long while before the cap tured fins liegin to feel the net, and then they dart this way and that hoping to get out, but find themselves approaching the shore and are brought up to the very feet of the captors, so the memory of an early home sometimes seems to relax and let men out further and further from God and further and further from shore, five years, ten years, twenty years, thirty years, but some day they find an irresistible mesh drawing t hem back, and they are compelled to retreat from their prodigality and wan dering, and though they make desperate ef fort to escape the impression and try to dive deeper down in sin after a while are brought clear back and held upon the Rock of Ages. If it be possible, oh, father and mother, let your sons and daugh s go out into the world under the scmi-omuiiKitent memory of a good, pure home. About your two or three rooms in a boarding-house or a family hotel you can cast no such glorious sanctity. Your children will think of these public caravan saries as an early stopping place, malodor ous with old victuals, coffees ) erpetually steaming and meats in everlasting stew ox broil, the air surcharged with carbonic acid anl corridors along which drunken boarders come staggering at 1 o’clock in the morning rapping at the door till the affrighted wife lets them in. Do not be guilty of the sacrilege or blasphemy of calling such a place a home. A home is four walls enclosing one family with identity of interest and a privacy from out side inspection so complete that it is a world in itself, no one entering except by permis sion, bolted aud barred and chained against all outside inquisitiveness. The phrase so often used in law books and legal circles is mightily suggestive—every man’s house is his castle. As much so as though it hail draw bridge, portcullis, redoubt, bastion and armed turret. Even the officer of the law may not enter to serve a writ except the door be voluntarily opened unto him. Burglary, or the invasion of it, a crime so offensive that the law clashes its iron jaws on any one who attempts it. Unless it lie necessary to stay for longer or shorter time in family hotel or boarding-house—and there are thou sands of instances in which it is necessary as I showed you at the beginning—unless in this exceptional case let neither wife nor husband consent to such permanent residence. The probability is that the wife will have to divide her husband’s tune with public smoking or reaxliug-room or with some co quettish spider in search of unwary flies, and if you do not entirely lose your husband it will be because he is divinely protected from the disasters that have whelmed thousands of husbands with as good intentions as yours. Neither should the husband without impera tive reason consent to such a life unless he is sure his wife can withstand the temptation of social dissipation which sweeps across such places with the force of the Atlantic ocean when driven by a September e juinox. Many wives give up their homes for these public residences so that they may give their entire time to operas, theatres, balls, receptions and levees and they are in a whip top spinning round and round and round very prettily until it loses its equipoise and shoots off into a tangent. But the differ ence is, in one case it is a top and in the other a soul. Beside this there is an assiduous accumular tion of little things around the private home which in the aggregate make a great attrac tion, while the denizen of one of these public residences is apt to say: “What is the use? I have no place to keep them if I should taka them,” mementoes, bric-a-brac, curiosities, quaint chair or cosy lounge, upholsteries, pic tures and a thousand things that accrete in a home are discarded or neglected because there is no homestead in which to arrange them. And yet they are the case in which the pearl of domestic happiness is set. You can never become as attached to the appointments of a boarding house or family hotel as to those things that you call your own, and are associated with the dif ferent members of your household, or with scenes of thrilling import in your domestic history. Blessed is that home in which for a whole life time, they have been gathered un til every figure in the carpet, and every panel of the door and every casement of the win dow has a chirography of its own, spelling out something about father or mother, or son or daughter, or friend that was with us awhile: what a sacred place it becomes when one can say: “In that room such a one was bom; in that bed such a one died; in that chair I sat on the night that I heard such a one had received a great public honor; by that stool my child knelt for her last evening prayer; here I sat to greet my son as he came back from a sea voyage; that was brother’s cane; that was mother’s rocking-chair. What a joyful and pathetic congress of reminis cences! The public residence of hotel and boarding house alsilishes the grace of hospitality. Your guest does not want to come to such a table. No one wauts to run such a gauntlet of acute and merciless hypercriticism. Unless you have a home of your own you will not be able to exercise the liest rewarded of all the graces. For exercise of this grace what blessing came to the Shumanite in the restoration of her son to life be -ause she en tertained Elisha, and to the widow of Zare lihath in the periietiial oil well of the miracu ous cruse because she fed a hungry prophet, and to Rahab in the preservation of her life at the demolition of Jericho because she enter tained the spies, and to Daban in the forma tion of an interesting family relation because of his entertainment of' Jacob, and to Lot in his rescue from the destroyed city because of his entertainment of the angels, and to Mary and Martha and Zacehers in spiritual blessing because they entertained Christ, and to Publius in the island of M lita in the healing of his fnth r because of the entertainment of Paul, drenched from the shipwreck, and of innu merable houses through' ut Christendom upon which have come blessings from genera tion to generation because their doors swung easily ojieii in the enlarging, ennoblmg, irra diating and divinegrace of hospital! y. Ido not know what your experience has been, but 1 have had men and women visitin ; at my house who left a benediction on every room in the blessing they asked at the table, in the prayer they offered at the family altar, in the good advice they gave the children, in the gospelization that looked out from every lineament of their countenances and thrir de parture was almost l.ke a bereavement. The queen of Norway, Sweden and Den mark had a royal cup of ten curves or lips, each one liaviug on it the name of the dis tin uished person who had drank from it. And that cup which we offer to others in Chi i-tian hospitality, th mgh it lie of plainest earthenware, is a royal cun and Go 1 -1111 read on all its sides the names of those who have ta :en from it refreshment. But all this is inmos i’de unless vou have a homo of your own. It is the delusion as to what is n ces sary for a home that hinders so many from c-'-J I'slf nr one. Thirty rooms are not nec e snrv. ti .r twenty, no.- fifte-n. n>r ten. nor five, nor three. In the right way plant n table an 1 coir h and knife and fork and a cup and a chair and you an raise a young para Use. Just start a home on however ■mall a scale nnd it will grow. When King Cyrus was invited to dine with an humble friend the king mode the one condition of his coming that the only dish bo one loaf of bread, and the most im;ierial satisfactions have sometimes banqueted on th? plainest, fate. Do not be caught iu the delusion of many th msands iu postponing a h uno until they can have an expensive one. That id™ is the devil’s trap that catches mon and women in numerable who will never have any home at nil. Capitalists of America! Build plain homes for the people. Iwt this tonement hous“ system in which hundreds of thousands of Ih • p ‘ople of our cities are wallowing in the mire lie broken up by small homes where people can have their own firesides nnd their own altar. In this great continent there is room enough for every man and woman to have n home. Morals'nnd civilization and reli -ion demand it. We want done all over this land what George Peabody and I.ady Burdette Coutts did in Englnn 1 mid some of th- large manu facturers of this country have done for the villages nn 1 cities in building small houses at cheap rents, so that the middle classes can have sep irate homes. They are tho only class not provided for. The rich have their palaces and the paupers have their poor houses and the criminals have their jails, but what about the honest middle classes, who are able aud willing to work, nnd yet have small income? Let the capitalists, inspired of God and pure patriotism, rise and build whole streets of small resiliences The la borer may have nt the close of the day to walk or ride further than is desirable to reach it, but when he gets to its destination in tho eventide, tie wdl find something worthy of being called by th it glorious and impas sioned ami heaven-des ended word “home.’’ “Young married man, as s. on as you can, buy su h a place even if you have to put on it a mortgage reaching from base to cap stone. The much-abused mortgage, which is ruin to a reckless man, to one prudent and provident is the beginning of a competency and a fortune, for the reason that he will not be satisfied until he has paid it off, and all the household are put on stringent economies until then. Deny yourself all sup -rfluities and all luxuries until you can say: “Every thing in this house is mine, thank God; every timlier, every brick, every foot of plumbing, every door sill. Don’t have your children born in a boarding house, and do not your self lie burio 1 from one. Have a place where your children can shout, and sing, and romp without being overhauled for the racket. Have a kitchen where you can do something toward’the reformation of evil cookery and the lessoning of this nation of dyspeptics. A Napoleon lost one of his great battles by attack of indigestion, so, many men have such a daily wrestle with th- food swallowed that they have no strength left for tho bat tle of life; anti though your wife may know how to play on all musical instruments ami rival a prima donna, she is not well educated unless she can boil an Irish potato and broil a mutton chop, since the diet sometimes de cides the fate of families and nations. Have a sitting room with at least one easy chair, even though you have to take turns at sitting in it, and books out of the public library or of your own purchase, for the making of your family intelligent, and checker boards and guessing matches, with an occasional blind man’s buff, which is, of all games, my favorite. Rouse up your home with all styles of innocent mirth and gather up in your children’s nature a reservoir of exuberance that will pour down refreshing streams when life gets parched and the dark days come and the lights go out and the laughter is smoth ered into a sob. First, last and all tho time have Christ in your home. Julius Cossar calmed tho fears I of an affrighted boatman who was rowing I him in a storm by stating: “So long as Ca sar is with you in the same boat no harm can happen.” And whatever storm of adversity or bereavement or poverty may strike your home all is well as long as you have Christ the king on board. Make home so far-reach ing in its influence that down to the last mo ment of your children’s life yon may hold them with a heavenly charm. At seventy six years of age the Demosthenes of the American Senate lay dying at Washington. I mean Henry Clay, of Kentucky. His pas tor sat at his bedside and the old man eloquent after a long and exciting public T 1 transatlantic and cis-At antic, was ba I again in the scenes of his boyhood and he kept saying in his dying dream over and over again: “My mother! mother!” May the parental influence we exert be not only pot miial but holy, and so the home on earth be the vestibule of our home in heaven, in whi -h place may we all meet, father, mother, son, daughter, brother, sister, grandfather and grandmother and grand-hild aid the entire group of precious ones of whom we must say in the words of transporting Charles Wesley: Ono family we dwell in Him; One church above, beneath; Though now divide 1 by the stream— The narrow stream of death; One army of th- living God, To His comn an l we bow: Part the host have cross’d th. And part are crossing now. Counterfeiting. David N. Carvalho, a handwriting expert in the district attorney's office al New York, says that .forgeries by ama teurs are increasing, and that they are encouraged by the bad practices that have grown up iu commercial houses— the use o’ stylographic pens and of ani line inks. v iaiiy large Houses, he says, recogizing the lack of character iu a signature written with a stylographic pen, hfcfe discarded them akogetner 111 signing checks and papers of simnui im portance, aud the surrogate’s office 111 New York requires papers to be signed with a steel or quill pen. A stylographic signature is easily imitated, and when it comes to identifying the genuine signature, a difficulty is met, arising from the effect of the movement on the essential characteristic features. Ani line inks are still more dangerous, becaus they can be copied exactly by the use of copying pads on the principle of the bektograph. Inconsistent. The Boston Transcript tells a story about two men who thought that women as conversers were far behind men in the choice of topics. “What things women are!” exclaimed Brown. «“My wife and another woman sat a whole half hour talking about how to narrow off a stocking, and from the interest they took in the discussion, one would think the salvation of the race de pended upon it.” “I know it,” replied White. “I’ve heard a couple of women discuss for half a day over the best way to pin a tidy on a chairback.” Then Brown and White spent the re mainder of the evening in a very intel lectual conversation over the respective merits of curve and straight pitching as applied to the national game. Each eventually got as mad as a March hare, and have not spoken to each other since. Witchcraft. An unrepealed law of New Jersey, passed while the Sta'e was a British colony, reads as follows; “That all women, of whatever age, r;r k, profes sion, or degree, wbeiher vinins, maids, >r widow., win. shall, after Ibis act, im pose upon, -educe, and Betray into mat rimony any of ills Maj—ly’s übjicts by v itueof ‘■(■(•H s, c , nn tics, washes,pai ts, rtificial teeth, fliise ha.r, ■ r hii>h-l;<:< led I -hors, shall incur the p- naity o! trie law now in force fir wi cli mrt. and Ika ; misdemeano.s.” No w aider New Jersey is unpopular with the ladies. A BIG CITY ON THE WATER How Canal Boatmen Spend the Winter Months. A Community Comprising Hundreds of Oaual Boats at New York. All the canal boats which ply upon the Hudson and the intermediate wa ters during the spring and summer, tie up for the winter in the Erie Basin, at New York. Not less than 1,200 canal boats compose this community, and on these wooden hulls 4,000 per sons live throughout the season. All the necessaries of life they have among themselves. The massive hulks are transformed into business marts. Grocers’ ships and liquor saloons, and even barbers’ shops rise up where coal and lumber find a home during tho season of transportation. The people live wholly among themselves. They are transformed for the time being into a business community. The cab in of one boat is brought into use as a billiard and pool room, while In anoth- | era tailor’s shop prevails. Then in the hold of another there Is a minia- | ture coal and wood yard, while sever- [ al of the boats bear signs that wash ing and ironing are done. A preten tious cigar and tobacco shop is a feat ure of this city also, and brings in a handsome revenue to its owner. By 1 the means enumerated, the inhabitants of this community are enabled to reap 1 a considerable income. Many of the able-bodied men work along the shore when the weather permits. Not a single case of outlawry, assault or lar- | ceny has ever occurred. Whatever little disputes happen are settled among themselves. It might readily be thought that drunkenness would prevail, but this is not the case. The men, as a class, are sober and Indus' t.rious. Their wives and families live with them through all seasons of the year, and know naught of the pleasures or wickedness of the city life. In the spring, summer and autumn months the men earn a comfortable living pursuing their occupation as boatmen. The business is, all things considered, lucrative. They have no rent to pay. It costs little for clothing for them- ! selves and families, and they are ac cordingly enabled to save much mon- | ey. Some of the boatmen ply a lucra tive business by letting out small boats during the winter months to fishing parties. A reporter for the Mail and Express visited this novel colony a few days ago and was surprised to see the ap parent system and detail which pre vailed. On lines running from end to end of the boats newly-washed cloth ing was hanging to dry. Little chil dren were engaged playing juvenile games on the decks. On one large boat the cabin and deck had been turned into a saloon, in which was a billiard table, several card tables and a bar. The men play cards for amusement only,quarreling being strictly prohibit ed. In conversation with the repor ter one of the men said: “We cannot ply our trade during the winter months. You see, the Hudson gets frozen up and our occu pation is gone. We all congregate here, and at times there are as many as 2,000 boats here at one time. We are all acquainted with each other and live comfortably. About the Ist of March we generally commence break ing up, and by the end of the week the little colony is all gone.” “Are you ever disturbed by river marauders?” “Yes, but we manage to keep them off by means of our dogs. We have never as yet had a case of robbery.” Josh Lost. H. W. Hanscom, of this city, says that he happened to in Skowhegan in 1869, when the late Josh Billings lectured there. The morning after the lecture was rainy, and mud was ankle deep in the streets Josh glanced dubiously out of doors and then askfld Hanscom, “Have you any rubbers?” “No,” said Hanscom. “I'll tell you what I’ll do,” said Josh. “I’ll flip a cent to see whether you or I shall' take the other on his shoulders and wade across the street from the hotel to that shoe store and buy a pair for both.” Hanscom agreed. The cent was tossed and he won. Josh took him ■ “pig back” through the mud to the shoe store, and bought rubbers for both. — Leait'ston. (Me.) Journal. K Mare’s Exploits.
