DR. TALMAGE'S SERMON. Dominion of Fashion. sem———— “The woman shall not wear that which per- taineth to man, neither shall a man put on a woman's garment; for all that do so are abom- ination unto the Lord thy God.” Deut. 22:0, Gop thought womanly attire of enough importance to have it discussed in the Bible. Paul the Apostle, by no means a sentimentalist, and accustomed to dwell on the great themes of God and the resurrection, writes about the arrangement of woman's hair and the style of her jewelry; and in my text, Moses, his ear yet filled with the thun- der at Mount Sinai, declares that wom- anly attire must be in marked contrast with masenline attire, and infraction of that law excites the indignation of high heaven, Just in proportion as the morals of a country or an age are de- pressed is that law defied, Show me the fashion plates of any century from the time of the Deluge to this, and I will tell you the exact state of public morals, BLOOMERIM in this country years ago seemed about to break down this divine law, but there was enough of good in American society to beat back the indecency, Yet ever and anon we have imported rom France, or perhaps invented on this side of the sea a style that proposes as far as possible to make women dress like men: and thousands of young women catch the mode, until some one coes a little too far in imitation of masculinity, and the whole custom, by the good sense of American woman- hood, is obliterated, The costumes of the countries are different, and in the same country may change, but there is a divinely ordered dissimilarity which must be forever ob- Any divergence from this is administrative of vice and runs against the keen thrust of the text, which says: served, man put on a woman's garment, for all that do so are abomination unto the Lord thy God.” Many years ago, a French authoress, signing herself George Sand, by her corrupt but brilliant writings depraved homes and libraries innuinerable, and quite presentable. The French author- ess put on masculine attire, consistent, havior were perfectly accordant, My text abhors masculine women and WOMANS MEN. man copying the speech, the walk, the manner of a woman. that they do not imitate sensible woman, but some female imbecile, And they simper, and they go with mincing step, and lisp, and scream at nothing, and take on a languishing look, and bang their hair, and are the nauseation of honest folks of both sexes, O man, be a man!

The wnty question is what is right fashion nd what is wrong fashion, Before | stop 1 want to show you that fashion has beet one of the most potent of re- formers and one of the vilest of usarp- ers. Sometimes it has been au angel from heaven, and at others iL bas been the mother of abominations, As the world grows Letter there will be as much fashion as now, but it will be a rightests fashion. In the future life white robes always have been and always will be in the fashion, There is a great outcry against this submission to Social custom, as though any consultation of the tastes and feel i of others were deplorable; but without it the world would bave neither law, order, civilization nor common decency. © has beep A CANONIZATION OF RLUNTNESS.

They ride in au carriage. Dy dint io. of perpetual application they would persuade the world that they are per- fectly indifferent to public opinion, They are more proud of beg ‘‘out of fashion’ than others are of being in. They are utterly and universally dis- agreeable, Their rough corners have never been worn off. They prefer a hedgehog to a lamb, wise productive of effeminacy or ener- vation, Good manners and a respect for the tastes of others are indispensa- ble, The Good Book speaks favorably of those who are a *‘peculiar’”’ people; but that does not sanction the behavior of queer people. There is no excuse, under any circumstances, for not being the lady or gentleman, RUDENESS 18 BIN, We have no words too ardent to express our admiration for the refinements of society. There is no law, moral or di- vine, to forbid elegance of demeanor, or ornaments of gold, or gems for the person, artistic display in the dwelling, gracefulness of gait and bearing, polite salutation or honest compliments; and he who is shocked or offended by these had better, like the old Scythians, wear tiger-skins and take one wild leap back into midnight barbarism. As Chris tianity advances there will be better apparel, higher styles of architecture, more exquisite adornments, sweeter mu. sic, more correct behavior and more thorough ladies and gentlemen. But there is another story to be told, Wrong fashion is to be charged with many of the worst evils of society, and its path has often been strewn with the bodies of the slain. It has set up A FALSE STANDARD by which people are to be judged. Our common sense, as well as all the divine intimations on the subject, teach us that people ought to be esteemed aceord- ing to their individual and moral attain. ments, The man who has the most no- bility of soul should be first, and he who has the least of such qualities should be last, No crest or shield or escutcheon can indicate one’s moral peerage. Titles of Duke, Lord, Esquire, Earl, Viscount or Patrician ought not ! to raise one into the first rank, Some of the meanest men I have ever known had at the end of their name 1, Ll. D.and F. R. 8.

Wrong rashion is productive of a most RUINOUS RIVALRY The expenditure of many households is adjusted by what their neighbors have, not by what they themselves can afford to have, and the great anxiety is as to who shall have the finest house and the most costly equipage. The weapons used in the warfare of social life are not minie rifles, and Dahlgren guns, and Hotchkiss shells, but chairs and mirrors and vases and Gobelins and Axminsters, Many household estab. lishments are hike racing steamboats, propelled at the utmost strain and risk, and just coming to a terrific explosion. “Who cares,’’ say they, “if we only come out abead?’ re i8 no one cause to-day of wore financial embar- rassment and of more dishonesties than this determination at all hazards to live as well as or better than other peo- ple. There ure persons who will risk thetr eternity upon one pier mirror, ot who will dash out the splendors of beaven to get gnother trinket, There are scores of men in the dun- goons of the penitentiary who risked ionor, busin everything, in the ef: fort to shine like others. ough the heavens fall they must be “ip the fash fon.” The most famous frauds of the day have resulted from this feeling. It keeps hundreds of men struggling for their commercial existence, "The trou- ble is that some are caught and incar cerated if their larceny be small, If it be great tl escape and build their | on the Rhine, Again: Wrong fashion makes » & from which has come forth more hol- low and unmeaning FLATTERIES AND HYPOCRISIES than the Lowell mills ever turned out shawls and garments, Fashion is ile greatest of all liars, It has made so- cloty insincere.

They decry their most luxuri- ous entertainments to win a shower of approval, They apologize for their ap- pearance, as though it were unusual, when always at home they look just so, They would make you believe that some nice sketch on the wall was the work of a master-painter, ‘‘It was an heir-loom, and once hung on the walls of a castle; and a duke gave it to their grandfather,” People who will not lie about anything else will lie about a pic- ture. On a small income we must make the world believe that we are affluent, and our life becomes a cheat, a counter- feit and a sham, Few people are really natural and un- affected, When I say this 1 do mean to slur cultured manners, It is the unhewn block of the quarry.

Drop- | sles, cancers, consumptions, gout and almost every infirmity in all the realm ot pathology have been the penalties paid. To counteract the dame, Phar- macy has gone forth with medicament, panacea, elixir, ambrocation, salve and cataplasm. Tonight, with swollen feet upon cushioned ottoman, and groaning with aches innumerable, will be the votary of luxurious living, not half so happy as his groom or coal-beaver. Wrong fashion is the world's undertaker, and drives thousands of hearses to Greens wood and Laurel Hill and Mount Auburn. But, worse than that, this folly is an INTELLECTUAL DEPLETION, This endless study of proprieties anu etiquette, patterns and styles, is be- dwarfing to the intellect. 1 never knew a woman or & man of extreme fashion that knew much.
