DR. TALWAGES SERMON. The Brooklyn Divine's Sunday Sermon. Subject : “The Hanging of Haman,’ Text: “So they hanged Haman on the gollows that he had prepared for Morde cai," Esther vii, 10, Here is an Oriental courtier, about the most offensive man in Hebrew history, Haman by pame. He plotted for the de- struction of the lsraelitish nation, and I wonder not that in some of the Hebrew synagogues to this day, when Haman's name is mentioned, the congregation clinch toeir fists, and stamp their Toot and cry “Let his name be blotted out!” Haman was printe minister in the magnificent court of Persia. Thoroughly appraciative of the honor conferred, he expects every- body that he passes to be es . Com- ing in one day at the gate of the palace the servants drop their heads in honor of his office, but a Hebrew, named Mordecai gazes Wu the passing dignitary without bending his head or taking off his hat, He was a good man, and would not have been negligent of the ordinary courtesies of life, but he felt no t either for Haman or the nation from which he had come, But be could not be hypocritical; and while oth. ers made oriental salaam, getting clear down before this prime minister when he passed, Mordeca!, the Hebrew, relaxed not a muscle of his neck, and kept his chin clear up, Be cause of that affront Haman gats a decreas from Abasuerus, the dastardly King, for the massacres of all the Israelites, and that, of course, will iaclude Mordecai. To make a long story short, through Queen Nsther this whola plot was revealed to her husband, Abasuerus. One night Ahas- uerus, wao was afflicted with insomnia, in his sleepless hours calls for his secretary to read to him a fow passages of Persian his tory, and so while away the night. In the book read that night to the K an account | was given of a conspiracy, from which Mordecai, the Hebrew, had saved the AXing's life, and for which kindness Mordecai had never received any reward, Haman, who bad been fixing up a nice gal- lows to hang Mordecai on, was walking out- ride the door of the King's sleeping apart. ment and was called in. Tha King told him that he had just bad read to him the account of some one who hal saved his the King's life, and he asked what reward ought oh given to such a ones. Belf-concei Haman, supposing that he himself was to get the honor, and not i ining for a moment that the deliverar of the King's life was Mordecai, says: "Why, your majesty ought to make a triumph for him, and puta crown on him, and set him on a splendid horse, high stepping and full blood. oi, and then have one of your princes isad the horse through the streets, crying ‘Bow the knee, here comes a man who has saved the King's life.” Then said Ahas- serus In severe tones to Haman: “I know all about your scoundrelism. Now you go out and make a trinmph for Mordecai, 8 | | | | Hebrew, whom you hate. Put the best saddle on the fines: horse, and you, the | Prince, hold the stirrup whils Mordecai | gets on, and then lead his horse through the | street. Make haste” i What a spectacle!

And, first we! come to the practical suggestion that | when the heart is wrong, things very in- significant will destroy our Who would have thought that a great prime minister, admired and applaaded by | millions of Persians, would have bean so | nettied and harassed by anything trivial? What more could the great dignitary hava wanted thag his chariots and attendants | and palaces and banquets? If afflusnce of | circumstances can make a man contentad jaud happy, surely Haman should have been | ‘contented and happy. No; Mordecal’s re | ‘{fusal of a bow es the glitter from the | gold, and the richness from the purple, and | the speed from the chariots. With a haart | puffed up with every inflation of vanity and | revenge, it was impossible for him to be | bappy. Thesilence of Mordecai at the gate was loader than the braying of trumpets in | the palace. Thus shall it always be if the | beart is not right. Circumstances the most trivial will disturb the spirit. it is not the great ities of life that create the most worriment. I have seen men, felled by repeated blows of misfortune arising from the dust, never ding. But the raost of the disquiet which men suffer is from insignificant causes, as a lion attacked by some beast of prey turns easily around and slays him, yet runs roariagly through the forest at the alightin sy brawny neck of a few insects. You meet some great Joss in business with comparative composura, but you can think of petty trickeries in- flicted upon you which rouse all your ea pacity for wrath, and remain in your heart an unbearable annoyance, If look back upon your life you will find that most of the vexations and disturbances of apirit which you felt ” circomstances Wes not worthy of notice. If you want to be happy you must not cars for trifles. Do not be too minute in your in on of the treatm=ut You recajve from others. Who cares whether Mordechi bows when you or stands erect and stiff asa 7 That woodman would not make much clearing who should to bind up every little bruise and sorateh he received in the thicket; nor will that man sccomplish much for the world or the church who is too watchful and appre © ative of petty an noes, There are mul titudes of people in the world constantly har rowed because they pass their lives, not in searching out those things which are attrac tiveand deserving, but in spying out with all their powers of vision to ses whether they cannot find a Mordecai, Again: I learn from the life of the man under our noties that worldly vanity and sin are very anxious to have platy bow be fore them. Haman was a fair emblem of entire woridliness, and Mordecai, the o sentative of unflinching godliness, were the usages of aochny mn ancient times comfort. | § : i i } li : i = to kneel before him. But itis not now so much on the top of churches as down in the plsle and the pew and the pulpit that Satan tempts the espousers of the Christian faith to kneel before him. Why was it that the Pla. tonic phil of early times, as well as Toland, Spinoza and Bolingbroke of latter days, were so madly opposed to Shrissiauity} Certainly not because it favored mmoralities, or arrested civilization, or dwarfed the intellect, The enuine reason, whether admitted or not, was Ee the religion of Christ paid no respect to their intellectual vanities. Blount and Boyle and the host of infidels hatched out by the vile reign of Charles 11. as reptiles crawl out of a marsh of slime, could not keep their patience because, as they along, there were sitting in the gate of the church such men as Matthew and Mark, and Luke, and John, who would not bend an inch in respect to their philosophies, Satan told our first parents that they would become as gods if they would only reach up and take a taste of the fruit. They tried it and failed, but their desccond- ants are not yet satisfled with the experi. ment. We have now many desiring to be as gods, reaching up after yet another apple. Human reason, scornful of God's word, may foam and strut with the proud wrath of a Haman, and attempt to compel the homage of the good, but in the presence of men and angels it shall be confounded. “God shall smite thee, thou whited wall” When science began to make its brilliant discoveries there were great facts brought to light that seemed to overthrow the truth of the Bible. The archmologist with his crowbar, and the geologist with his ham- mor, and the chemist with his batteries charged upon the Bible. Moses's account of the creation seemed denied ty the very structure of the earth, The astronomer whesled round his telescope until the beaven. ly bodies seemed to marshal themselves against the Bible, as the stars in their courses fought against Sisera. Observatories and universities rejoiced at what they considered the extinction of Christianity, They gath- ered new courage at what they considered ast victory, and pressed on toeir conquest into the kingdom of nature, until, alas for them! they discovered too much. God's word had only been lying in ambush that, in some unguarded moment, with a sudden bound, it might tear infidelity to pieces. It was when Joshua attacked the city of | Ai, He selected thirty thousand men, and concealed most of them; then with a few men he assailed the city, which poured out its numbers and strength upon Joshua's lit- tle band, According to previous plan they fell back in seeming defeat, but after all the oud inhabitants of the city bad been an out of their homes, and had joined | in the pursuit of Joshua, suddenly that brave | man halted In his flignt, and with his spear pointing toward the city, thirty thousand men bounded from the thickets as panthers spring to their prey, and e pure suers were dashed to pleces, while the hosts of Joshua pressed up to the city, and with their lighted torches tossed it into lame. Thus it was that the discoveries | of science seemed to give Temporary victory | against God and the Bible, and for a while | the church acted as if she were on a retreat; but, when all the opposers of God and truth | had joined inthe pursuit, and were sure of | the fleld, Christ gave the signal to His | church, and, turning, they drove back their | foes in shame, There was found to be no | The universe and the Bible were found to be | the work of the same band, two strokes of | the sams pen, their authorship the same | God. Again: Learn the lesson that pride goes | before a fall. Was any man ever so far up as Haman, who tumbled so far Yes, on a smaller scale every day the world | mses the same thing. Against their very | advantages men trip into destruction. | When God humbles proud men, it is usu. | ally at the moment of their greatest arro. | If theres bs a man munity greatiy puffed up, with worldly sucecss, you bave but to stand a little while and you will ss him coms down, You say, I wonder that God allows that man to on riding over others’ heads and making great assumptions of power, | There is no wander about it.

Thera are guns that kick! Furthermore, let the story of Haman taach us how quickly turns the wheel of fortune.

Many a woman sea in the street at or apple stand is happier than the great bankers The mountains of worldly honor are coversd with tual snow. Tamerlane conquered half world, but could not subdue his own fears, Ahab goes to bed, sick, because Na- both will not sell him his vineyard. Herod is in agony because a little child is born down in Bethlehem. Great Felix trembles because a poor minister will preach righteous ness, temperance and judgment to come.

If there ars young people here who aré looking for this position and that circumstance, thinking that worldly success will bring peace of the soul, let them shatter the delusion. It is not what wo got, it is what we are, Daniel among the Hons is happier than Nebuchadnezzar on his thrones, And when life is closing, brilliancy of worldly surroundings will be ao solace, Death is blind, and sees no dif- ference between the King sad his clown, between the Nazarine and the Athenian, betwean a bookless hut and a national COMMON SENSE COMPLEXION. Simple Applications and Cleanliness the Great Desideratum--Her Doctor's Advice. Women have had columns of advice written about their complexions, telling how to preserve and restore them, what to eat to improve them, and it is even hinted that they do not keep them clean, This subject is one that appeals to every womanly woman, for who would not be beautiful if she could, and certainly a good complexion is half the battle. A young woman recently resolved to take these promiscuous bits of advice, and after carefully and almost prayer- fully consulting her pile of ehippings found that at least a lifetime and a maid were necessary, as well as a very liberal outlay of money on Turkish baths, lo- tions, face massage, &c. She had neith- er the money nor the time, being a girl bachelor with her living to earn, but resolved not to be baffled in this mat- ter. For if complexions are to be had by working for them she was compe- tent to gain snch a powerful weapon. So she went to the wise woman (we ench of us have one in our cirele of ac- quaintances), and this woman, as kind as she was wise, gave the results of her own experiments by which she defied the power of time.

Like electricity a century ago little 1s yet known of its powers may be sure that good will come. French and German physicians, espec- ially the former, are daily making methodical and eareful experiments in hypnotism in public and private hos- | pitals, and in this country many physi- cians are conducting such experiments | in a quiet way among their private pa- | tients. The Williamsport Pa. Republi- can tells us that Dr. Rankin, at Muncy, uses hypnotism in his professional work. It 1s a good substitute for chloroform or ether in performing surgical opera- tions, and Dr. Rankin resorts to his power of hypnotism quite frequently. T'o put a subject under his control is but the work of a minute, and even less in some cases. He lays his hand upon the temporal veins of his subject, speaks a few words to get the patient's mind running in the same channel as his own, and in a remarkably short time the pa- tient is in a state similar to that produoe- ed by chloroform, except, when hypno- tized the subject can understand the words of the Physician and will answer him if a question is put. The process of hypnotism, sa . Rankin, puts to sleep all the voluntary muscles with that part of the brain which directs them, leaving the body in the control of the involuntary muscles, just as it is in natural sleep. The breathing and heartbeats go on, but no thinking i» done of a voluntary nature. Dr. “ kin has one patient whom he has been attending whose arm was disloosted.
