DR. TALMAGE’S PRACTICAL SERMON FOR PRACTICAL MEN. When t'-e Ballot Box Is Surronnded by Corruption ts the Timo for the Chris tint, to Work Hardest—Daniel's Kxpe ’ rlence. 11 Waco. Tex., Aug. 31.—Dr. Talmage ; today delivered the following discourse ; on the text, “Then the king command ed. and they brought Daniel and cast him into the den of lions.”—Daniel I vi, IG. Darius was king of Babylon, and the young man Daniel was so much a fa ’ vorite with him that he made him j prime minister, or secretary of state. I But no man could gain such a high po- - sition without exciting the envy and jealousy of the people. There were j demagogues in Babylon who were so appreciative of their own abilities that j they were affronted at the elevation of | * this young man. Old Babylon was afraid of young Babylon. The taller i t the cedar the more apt it is to be riven : I of the lightning. These demagogues asked the king to make a decree that anybody that made j a petition to any one except the king within thirty days should be put to death. King Darius, not suspecting any foul play, makes that decree. The | demagogues have accomplished all they | . want, because they know that no one i can keep Daniel from sending petitions ' before God for thirty days. So far from being afraid, Daniel goes I on with his supplications three times a day, and is found on his housetop mak- j ing prayer. He is caught in the act. He is condemned to be devoured by i the lions. Rough executioners of the ! law seize him and hasten him to i . the cavern. I hear the growl of the wild beasts, and I see them pawing the ■ dust, and as they put their mouths to ! the ground the solid earth quakes with their bellowing. I see their eyes roll, and I almost hear the fiery eyeballs . snap in the darkness. These monsters ’ approach Daniel. They have an ap- \ petite keen with hunger. With one stroke of their paw or one snatch of ' . their teeth they may leave him dead at the bottom of the cavern. But what ! a strange welcome Daniel receives from these hungry monsters. They fawn around him, they lick his hand, they bury his feet in their long manes. That night he lias calm sleep, with his ■ head pillowed on the warm necks of the tamed lions. _ | SAVED BY GOD. But not so well does Darius the king j sleep. He loves Daniel, and hates this stratagem by which he has been con i demned. All night long the king walks I the floor. He cannot sleep. At the least sound he starts and his flesh : creeps with horror. He is impatient ' for the dawning of the ijiorning. At j the first streak of the daylight Darius hastens forth to see the fate of Daniel. ( ! The heavy palace doors open and clang > shut long before the people of the city ; waken. Darius goes to the den of li ons; he looks in. All is silent. His | heart stops. He feels that the very , ‘ worst has happened; but gathering all* his strength he shouts through the rifts i of the rock, “O Daniel! is the God whom thou servest continually able to deliver thee 1" There comes rolling up from the deep darkness a voice which . says: “D king! live forever. My God lias sent his angel to shut the lions’ mouths that they have not hurt me.” Then Daniel is brought out from the den The demagogues arc hurled into it, and no sooner have they struck the , bottom of the den than their flesh was rent, and their bones cracked, and their blood spurted through the rifts of the rock, and as the lions make the rocks tremble with their roar they announce 1 to all ages that while God will defend his people the way of the ungodly shall perish. f THE CHIME OE SUCCESS. 1 Learn first from this subject that the ■ greatest crime that you can commit in the eyes of many is the- crime of sue- - cess. What had Daniel done that be should be flung to the lions? He got k to be prime minister. They could not forgive him for that; and behold in that a touch of unsanctilied human f nature as seen in all ages of the world. . So long as you are pinched in poverty, 1 so long as you are running the gantlet - between landlord and tax gatherer, so long as you find it hard work to cdu- . ’ cate your children, there are people | who will say: “Poor man, I am sorry for him. Ho ought to succeed, [«»>r man I" t But after awhile the tide turns in your favor. That was a profitable in ’ vestment you made. You bought at t just the right time. Fortune becomes good humored and smiles upon you. Now you are being in some department . successful, your success chills some one. Those men who used to sympathize L with you stand along the street, and ; they scowl at you from under the rim of their hats. You have more money ■ 1 or more influence than they have, and - - you ought to be scowled at from under the rim of their hats. .You catch a j word or two as you passed by them. | - “Stuck up,” says one. “Got it dishon ! I estly,” says another. “Will burst soon,” • says a third. Every stone in your new i house is laid on their hearts. Your horses' hoofs went over their nerves. • Every item of your success lias been to them un item of discomfiture and despair. Just as soon as in any respect -' you rise above your fellows, if you are more virtuous, if you are more wiw, if ; you are more influential, you cast a shallow on the prospect of others. The road to honor and success is within reach of the enemy's guns. Jealousy says, “Stay down, or I'll knock you down.” Ido not like you,” t-aid lh«’ snowflake to the snowbird. “Why don't you like me?' said the snowbird “Olli” said the snowflake, “you are going up and I am comiug down ” i Young men'hants, young lawyers, young d-s'tor*. young me<-Uaui‘ - *, young artists, young farmers, at cer tain times there were those to »>m (<:tthi/e with you, but now Hutt j you are b-eoming master of your 1 particular occupation or profaasluu. 1 how is it now, young lawyers, young doctors, young artists, young farmers, ! how is it now? The greatest crime that you can commit is the crime of success. ; DECISION OK CHARACTER. Again, my subject impresses me with the value of decision of character in any department. Daniel knew that if he continued his adherence to the re- I ligion of the Lord lie would be hurled i to the lions, but having set his compass well ho sailed right on. For the lack of that element of de cision of character so eminent in Dan iel many men are ruined for this world. ■ and ruined for the world to come. A great many at forty years of age are not settled in any respect, because they have not been able to make up their I mind. Perhaps they will go west. ; Perhaps they will go east. Perhaps they will not. Perhaps they will go | north. Perlmps they may go south, l Perhaps they will not. Perhaps they ■ may make that investment in real es- ! tate or in railroads. Perhaps they will 1 : not. They are like a steamer that | should go out of New York harbor, I ; starting for Glasgow, and tlie next day , j should change for Havre de Grace, and I the next for Clmrleston, and the next | for Boston, and the next for Liverpool— these men 6n the sea of life, everlast ingly tacking ship and making no head- ! way. Or they are like a man who I starts to build a house in the Corinth- i I ian style and changes it to Doric, and i then completes it in the lonic, and is i cursed by all styles of architecture. START RIGHT AND KEEP ON. Young man. start right and keep on. j Have decision of character. Charac ter is like the goldfinch of Tonquin; it is magnificent while standing firm, but I i loses all its beauty in Hight. How much I decision of character in order that these i j young men may be Christians! Their old associates make sarcastic Hings at j them. They go on excursions ami they >do not invito them. They prophesy ■ that he will give out. They wonder if; he is not getting wings. As he passes they grimace and wink and chuckle, . and*say, “There goes a saint." Oh, youngxnan, have decision of char i actor. You can afford in this matter ' ;of religion to bo laughed at. What do 1 you care for the scoffs of these men I who are affronted because you will not i Igo to ruin with them? When the grave ? cracks open under their feet, and grim i messengers push them into it, and eter- I , nity conies down hard upon their| spirit, and conscience stings, and horn* less ruin lifts them up to hurl them down, will they laugh then? I learn also from iny subject that ; men may take religion into their worldly business. Daniel had enough work to do to occupy six men. All the affairs of state were in his hands - questions of finance, questions of war, ! of peace, all international questions were for his settlement or adjustment. I He. must have had a correspondence' 1 vast beyond all computation. There j was not a man in all the earth who had more to do than Daniel, the secre I I tary of state, and yet wo find him three j times a day allowing before God in ■ prayer. There tire men in our day i who have not a hundredth part of | Daniel s engagements who say they are too busy to bo religious. They have an idea somehow that religion . will spoil their worldly occupation, that it will trip the accountant's pens j or dull the carpenter's saw, or confuse the lawyer's brief, or disarrange the merchant's store shelf. IMPERTINENT RELIGION. They think religion is impertinent. They would like to have it very well I seated beside them in church on the ! Sabbath, to find the place in the psalm | book, or to nudge them awake when they get sleepy under the didactic dis course; or they would like to leave it in the pew on Sabbath evening, as they go out closing the door, saying, “Good night, religion; I'll be back next Sun day!" But to have religion go right along by them all through life, to have religion looking over their shoulder when they are making a bargain, to ' have religion bike up a bag of dishonest gold and shake it and say, “Ha! ha! ' where did you get that?”—they think that is an impertinent religion. They ' would like to have a religion to help ' them when they are sick, anil when the 1 shadow of death comes over them they 1 would like to have religion as a sort of 1 night key with which to open the door 1 of heaveti; but religion under other cir cumstances they take to be an imperti nonce. Now, my friends, religion never robbed a man of a dollar. Other things being equal, a mason will build a bet ter wall, a cabinet maker will make a better chair, a plumber will make a 1 better pipe, a lawyer will make a better plea, a merchant will sail a better bill 1 of goods. I say other things being equal. Os course when religion gives a man a new heart it does not propose to give him a new head, or to intellcetualize him, or to change a man’s condition when his ordinary state is an overthrow of the philosopliical theory that a total vacu um is impossible; but the more letters you have to write, the more burdens you have to carry, the more miles you have to travel, the more burdens you have to lift, the more engagements you have to meet, the more disputes you have to settle, the more opportunity you have of being a Christian. THE BUSIEST MEN THE BEST MEN. If you have a thousand Irons in the fire, you have a thousand more oppor tunities of serving God tlian if you liad only one iron in the fire. Who so busy as Christ ? And yet who a mill ionth part as holy? Tile busiest men the lx-st men. All the [tersonsconvert ed in Scripture busy at the .time of their being converted. Matthew at tending to his custom bouse duties; the Prod'-id Hon feeding swine; Lydia selling purple; Simon Peter iiauling in the net from the sea; Haul spurring his horse tow ard llamuhcux, going dow n on his law bUMiMMMi. Busy ' busy! Daniel with all the affairs of state weighing down upon his soul, and yet three times a day worshiping th# G->1 of heuwn Again, I iearu from lids subj*« t that a man may take religj<<; into bls politics Danad iuvi all the affsum 'X state ou Uatud, a CliriXiun, He could not have kept bin elevated posi tion unless he had been a thorough politician, and yet all the thrusts of of ficials and all the danger of disgrace did not make him yield one iota of his high toned religious principle. He stood before that age, he stands before all ages, a specimen of a Christian I politician. | So there have been in our day and in tile days of our fathers men as emi nent in the service of God as they have bean eminent in the service of the state. Such was Benjamin F. Butler, attorney general of New York in the time of your fathers. Such was John McLean, of Ohio. Such was George Briggs, of Massachusetts. Such was Theodore Freiinghuysen, of New Jer sey Men faithful‘to the state, at the same time faithful to God. OUR HOPE IS IN THE YOUNG MEN. It is absurd to expect that men who have been immersed in political wick edness for thirty or forty years shall come to reformation; and our hope is j in the young men who are coining up, I that they have patriotic principle and i < T.ristian principle side by side when they come to the ballot box and cast their first vote, and that they swear al legiance to the government of heaven as well as to the government of the f nited States. We would have Bunker I Hill mean less to them than Calvary, I and Lexington mean less to them than I Bethlehem. But because there are bad men I around the ballot box is no reason | why Christian men should retreat from i iiie arena. The last time you ought to I give up your child or forsake your I child is when it is surrounded by a i company of Choctaws; and the last time to surrender the ballot box is when it is surrounded by impurity nnd i dishonesty and all sorts of wickedness. Daniel stood on a most unpopular p‘ it form. He stood firmly, though the demagogues of the day hissed at him and tried to overthrow him. Wo must < rry our religion into our politics. But t.icre are a great many men who are in favor of taking religion into national I lilies who do not see the importance oi taking it into city polities, as though ! a man were intelligent about the wel" ! fare of his neighborhood and had no I e.incern about his own home. Religion would drive out all base ' personalities from politics. You have ■ a right to discuss men's polities and do ' nounco their political sentiments, or re I ceive them, an you will; but you have ii > right to assail their private charac ter, as is done every autumn. That is not carrying religion into politics. Now you can always tell without asking, in any contest, what candidate I will vote for. It is always for the mm who is most badgered, and most ahu ed'. and most spit upon, Mid most howled at. You have a right to contest a man’s po litical sentiments; you have no right for base political purposes to assail his private moral character. LIONS SURROUND YOU. My subject also impresses me with the fact that lions cannot hurt a good man. No man ever got into worse company than Daniel got into when he was thrown into the den. What a rare morse] that fair young man would have been for the hungry monsters! If they had plunged at him he could not have climbed into a niche beyond the reach of their paw or the snatch of their tooth. They came pleased all about him, as a hunter's hounds at the well knowiAvhistle come bounding to his feet. You need not go to Numidia to get among lions. You all have had them after you—the lion of financial distress, the lion of sickness, the lion of perse cution. You saw that lion of financial panic putting his mouth down to the earth, .-.nd he roared until all the banks and all the insurance companies quaked. With his nostril he scattered the ashes on the domestic hearth. Y'ou have had trial after trial, misfortune after misfort une. lion after lion; and yet they have never hurt you if you put your trust in God, and they never will hurt you. They did not hurt Daniel, and they cannot hurt you. The Persians used to think that spring rain falling into sea shells would turn into pearls; and I have to tell you that the tears of sorrow tui-n into precious gems when they drop into God’s bottle. Y’ou need be afraid of nothing putting your trust in God. liven death, that monster lion whose lon is the world’s sepulcher, and who puts his paw down amid thousands of ’ millions of the dead, cannot affright ! you. YV hen in olden times a man was to get the honors of knighthood lie was compelled to go fully armed the night before among the tombs of the dead carrying a sort of spear, and then when the day broke he would come forth, and amid the sound of comet and great parade he would get the honors of knight hood. And so it will lie with . the Christian in the night before heaven, as fully armed with spear and helmet of salvation he will wait and watch through the darkness until the morning dawns, and then he will take the honors of heaven amid that great I throng with snowy robes streaming ■ oyer seas of sapphire. , The Transposed Piano.

I A Boy So Constructed That He tan Locate Ore as Divining Rod Does Water. The magnetic needle has long beau considered a reliable medium for divin ing the location of veins containing * ironstone, or other similar deposits, and in the course of some experiments con ducted by Professors Rucker and Thorpe, and other eminent men of sci ence, some remarkable confirmations of and additions to the theories hitherto held on the subject were achieved. It was found that on approaching an area beneath which ironstone was deposited i the needle became deflected. In cases where the iron w:w near to the surface ‘.lie deflection was most acute, and where it was hidden far below the sur face the degree of deflection was ac •ordingly diminished, so that by care fully noting the movements of the nee 11c it was possible not only to fix the exact locality where iron was to be found, but also, according to the de gree of deflection, to fix with tolerable accuracy the depth at which the vein would lie met with. Another mode of discovering the location of minerals is to use the “diviner,” as a person gifted with “magnetic powers" is calfed. There is now in England a remarkable boy who is n-gularly employed for this purpose by a mining company in the north of the country. The manager of the com pany, in describing tliis boy, says: “Mineral veins and water have very strong magnetic attraction for the boy, who is 15 years of age and of ordinary weight. If he stand in a small quan tity of water it takes a very strongman to lift him. It is not at all necessary for him to carry a stick. All he re quires to do is to walk over the ground with liis hands clasped, and lie can im mediately tell you if lie steps upon a vein. Ho can give the direction of the vein, mi l say xvlietiier it is weak oi strong. Ho can also, by simply walk ::i,g over it, say whether another vein crossi-s into it. “iVlk'h became here we were all skep- fl tieal, so we took him on a portion of a j hill where we knew veins to exist, ■•i. i - i. > i ti.i.-es were ii-- i In- of each In Lis researches he upon ,i x-.-i-y large and strong which vn : unknown to us. it ilirecth.n and strength, halt -i'.ll ■ | t!lat 1 .■■■ fl fl a man, fl repeated ict tI lege, for instance, a ■ '' U 'la v.c. 11,,j-. neither Lu- hdl nor cold. In the same institution learning, immediately upon the ringing j of an alarm of fire, it was incumbent ujx>n every able bodied student tc throw open his window, thrust forth a tin horn, and blow as if the fire fiend was known to be as averse to the sound cf a fish horn as were the college faculty themselves. .Signs and door plates, numbers from street doors and the gilded wooden k< ys, bix.ts and watches customarily displayed Ix-fore shops were all looked upon as most desirable adornments foi a “student's” sitting, room. Happily these and similar freaks of student life are being weeded out, and the day is at hand when even a collegian will not lie ashamed to behave like a gentle man, and learmto possess Ins soul In patience, even though some callow freshman dares to carry a cane and tc “sport” (the proper technical term) a stovepipe liat.—Harper’s Young People.
