At the Taber - uacle this morning, 6,000 voices supported by organ and cornet, rolled out the hymn beginning: Ne'er think the victory won, Nor once at ease sit down: Thine arduous work will not be done Till thou hast cot thy crown. The Rev. T. De "Witt Talmage, D. D., preached the sermon. His subject was "Wrong Uses of Money," and his text, I. Timothy vi., 9: "They that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, -which drown men in destruction and perdition." That is the Niagara Falls OTer which rush a multitude of souls, namely, the de termination to have money anyhow, right or wrong. Tell me how a man gets his money and what he does with it, and I will tell yon his character and what will be his destiny in this world and the next. I propose to speak this morning about some of tbe,ruinous modes of setting money. We recently passed through a national election, -in which it is estimated that $3aoOO,000 were expended, t think about $20,000,000 of it were spent in ont and out bribery. Both par ties raised all they could for this purpose. But that was only on a large scale what has been done on a smaller scale for SO years and in all departments. BEDRAGGLED POLITICS. Politics from being the science of good gov ernment has often been bedraggled into the synonym for trucnlency and turpitude. A monster sin. plausible, potent, pestiferous, has cone forth to do its dreadful work in all ages. Its two hands are rotten with leprosy. It keeps its right hand hidden in a deep pocket. The left band is clenched, and with its ichorous knuckle it taps at the door of the court room, the legislative hall, the Congress and the par liament. The door swings open and the mon ster enters, and glides through the aisle of the council chamber as softly as a slippered page, and then it takes its right band from its deep pocket and offers it in salutation to judge or legislator. If that hand be taken, and the palm of the intruder cross the palm of tho official, the leprosy crosses from palm to palm in a round blotch, round as a. gold carle, and the virus spreads, and the doom is fixed, and the victim perishes. Let bribery, accursed of God and man. stand up for trial. The Bible arraigns it again andagain. Samuel savs of his two sons who became jndges: "They took bribes -and perverted judgment.' David says of some of bis pursuers: "Their right hand is full of bribes." Amos says of some men in his day: "They take a bribe and turn aside the poor in the gate." Elinhaz foretells the crushing blows of God's indigna tion, declaring: "Fire shall consume the tabernacles of bribery." It is no light temptation. The mightiest have fallen under it. Sir Francis Bacon, Lord Chancellor of England, founder of our modern philosophy, author of "Novum Organum," and a whole library o! books, the leading thinker of his century, so precocious that when a little child be was asked by Queen Elizabeth, "How old are your" he responded, "I am two years younger than Your Majesty's happy reign;" of whese oratory BenJonson wrote: "The fear of every man that beard him was lest he should make an end;" having an income which you v would suppose would have put him beyond tho TEMPTATION OP BEIBEET, $36,000 a year, and Twickenham court a gift, and princely estates in Hertfordshire and Gor bambury yet under this temptation to bribery falling flat into ruin, and on his confession of taking bribes, giving as excuse that all his predecessors took them; he was fined $200,000, or what corresponds with onr 330,000, and im prisoned in London tower. So also Lord Chancellor Macclesfield fell; so also Lord Chancellor Waterbnry perished. The black chapter in Encllsh. Irish, French and Ameri can politics is the chapter of bribery. Some of yon remember the Pacific Mail subsidies. Most of you Temember the awful tragedy of tbe Credit Mobilier. Under the temptation to bribery Benedict Arnold sold the fort in the Highlands for 31,575. For this sin Gorgey be trayed Hungary, Ahitopbel forsook David and J ndas kissed Christ, When I see so many of the illustrious going down under this temptation, it makes me think of the red dragon 'spoken of in Revelation, with seven heads and ten horns and seven crowns, draw infra third rtart of .the stars of heavn rinn-n after him. The lobbies of the legislatures of this country control the country. The land is drunk with bribery. "Oh," sa-S someone, "there's no need of talk ing against bribery by promise or by dollars, because every man has his price." I do not be lieve it. Even heathenism and the dark ages have furnished specimens of incorruptibility. A cadi of Smyrna had a case brought before him on trial. A man gave him 500 ducats in bribery. The case came on. Tho briber had many witnesses. The poor man on the other side had no witnesses. At the close of (he case tbe cadi said: "This poor man has no witnesses, be thinks; I shall produce in his behalf 500 wit nesses against the other side." And then pull ing out the bag of ducats from under tbe otto man, he dashed it down at the feet of tbe briber, saying, "I give my decision against you." Eoaminondas. offered a bribe, said: "I will do this thing if it be right, and if it be wrong all your goods cannot persuade me." Fabricius of the .Roman Senate was offered a bribe by Pvrrhus of Jlacedon, Fabricius an swered, "What an example this would be to tbe Roman people; you keep your riches and I will keep my poverty and reputation." TOO EICH TO BE BOUGHT. The President of the American Congress during the American Revolution, General Reed, was offered 10,000 guineas by foreign commissionersif he would betray this country. He replied: "Gentlemen, l am a very poor man, but tell your King he is not rich enough to buy me." But why go so far, when you and I, If we move in honorable society, know men and women who by all the concentrated force of earth and hell conld not be bribed. They would no more be bribed than you would think of tempting an angel of light to exchange heaven for the pit. To offer a bribe is villainy, but it is a very poor compliment to the man to whom it is offered. I have not much faith in those people who go about bragging how much they could get if they would only sell out. Those women who complain that they are very often Insulted need to understand that there is something in their carriage to invite insult. There are men at Albany and at Harrisburg and at Washington who weald no more be approached by a bribe than a pirate boat with a few cutlasses would dare to attack a British man-of-war with two banks of guns on each side loaded to the touch hole. They are incorruptible men, and they are the few men who are to save the citv and save tbe land. Meanwhile, my advice is to all peo ple to keep out of politics unless you are invul nerable to this style of temptation. Indeed, if you are naturally strong, you need religious buttressing. Nothing but the grace of God can sustain onr public men and make them what we wish. I wish that there might come an old-fashioned revival of religion, that it might break out in Congress and in tbe Legis latures and bring many of the leading Republi cans and Democrats down on tbe anxious seat of repentance. That day will come, or some thing better, for tbe Bible declares that kings and queens shall become nursing fathers and mothers to tbe church, and if the greater in authority, then certainly the less. My charge also to parents is, remember that this evil of bribery often begins in tbe home circle and in tbe nursery. Do not bribe your children. 'Teach them to do that which is right, and not because of the 10 cents or the orange you will give them. There is a great difference between rewarding virtue and mak ing the profits thereof the impelling motive. That man who is honest merely because "honesty is the best policy" is already A MOBAI. BANKRUPT. My charge is to yon, in all departments of fife," steer clear of bribery, all of you. Every man and woman at some time will be tempted to do wrong for compensation. The bribe may not be offered in money. It may be offered in Boci&l position. Let us remember that there-is a day coming when tbe most secret transition of private life and of public life will come up for public reprehension. We tannot bribe death, we cannot bribe sickness, we cannot bribe the grave, we cannot bribe the judgments of that God who thunders against this sin. "FicI" said Cardinal Beaufort, "fie! can't death be hired; is money nothing must I die, and so rich? if the owning of tbe whole realm would save me. I could get it by policy or pur chase by money." No, death would not be hired then: lie will not be hired now. Men of the world often regret that tbeyhave to If ave tbclr money here when they go away from the . world. You can tell from what they say in X - tbeir last hours that one of their chief sorrows . -is mat tney have to leave their money. I break r,m uuBsion. i ten mat DriDe taker mat ne will take bis money with him. God win wrap It up In your shroud, or put it in the palm of your hand in resurrection, and there it will lie, not the cool bright, shining gold as it was on the day .when you sold your vote and your moral principle, but there it will lie, a hot metal, burning ami consuming your hand for f Jer-, Or, If mere be enough of it for a chain, then it will fall from tho wrist clanking, the fetters of an eternal captivity. The bribe is an everlasting possession. -You take It for time, yu take it for eternity. Some day ih, the next Ji when you are longing for sympathy, you will feel on your cheek a kiss. Looking up you will find it to be Judas, who took 80 pieces of silver as a bribe and finished the bargain by putting an infamous kiss on the pure cheek of his divine Master. Another wrong use of money is seen In tbe abuse of trust funds. Every man during the course of his life, on a larger or smaller scale, has the property of others committed to bis keeping. He is so far a safety deposit, he is an administrator, and holds in his hand the interest of the family of a deceased friend. Or he is an attorney, and through his custody goes the payment from debtor to creditor, or he is the collector for a business honse which compensates him for the responsibility: or he is a treasurer for a charitable Institution and he holds alms contributed for the suffering: or he is an official of the city or the State or the nation and taxes and subsidies and salaries, and supplies are la his keeping. A SOLEMN TKUST. It is as solemn a trust as God can make it. It is concentered and multiplied confidences. On that man depends tbe support of a bereft household, or tbe morals of dependents, or tbe right movement of a thousand wheels of social mechanism. A man may do what he will with his own, but he who abuses trust funds, in that one act commits theft, falsehood, perjury and becomes,' in all the intensity of the word, a miscreant. How many widows and orphans there are with nothing between them and star vation but a sewing machine, or held up out of tbe vortex of destruction simply by the thread of a needle, red with their own heart's blood. Who a little while ago had, by father and hus band, left them a competency. What isthe mat ter? The administrators or the executors have sacrificed it running risks with it that they would not have dared tu encounter in their own private affairs. How often it is that a man will earn a livelihood by tbe sweat of his brow, and then die, and within a few months all the estate goes into the stock gambling rapids of Wall street. How often it is that you have known tbe man to whom trust funds were committed taking them out of tbe sav ings bank and from trust companies, and ad ministrators, turning old homesteads into hard cash, and then putting the entire state into the vortex of speculation. Embezzlement is an easy word to pronounce, but it has ten thou sand ramifications ot horror. There is not a city that has not suffered from the abuse of trust funds. Where is tbe Court House, or the Citv Hall, or the jail, or the post office, or the hospital, that in tho building of it has not bad a political job? Long before the new Court House In New York City was completed, it cost over 812,000,000. Five millions Bix hundred and sixty-three thousand dollars for furniture! For plastering and repairs, 2,370,000. For plumbing and gas works, $1,231,817. For awnings, 523,553. The bills for three months coming to the nice little sum of $13,151,193 39. There was not an honest brick, or stone, or lath, or nail, or foot of plumbing, or inch of plastering, or ink stand, or door knob in the whole establishment. THAT BAD EXAMPLE was followed in many of the cities, which did not steal quite so much because there was not so much to steal. There ought to be a closer inspection and there ought to be less oppor tunity for embezzlement. Lest a man snail take a 5 cent piece that does not belong to him, tho conductor on the city horse car must sound his bell at every payment, and we are very cautious about small offenses, but give plenty of opportunity for sinneis on a large scale to escape. For a boy who steals a loaf of bread from a corner grocer to keep his mother from starving to death, a prison; but for defrauders who abscond with $500,000, a castlo on the Rhine, or, waiting until the offense is forgotten, then a castle on the Hudson! Another remark needs to be made, and that is that people ought not to go into places, into business, or into positions where the tempta tion is mightier than tbe character. If there be large sums of money to be handled and the man is not sure of bis own integrity you have no right to run an unseaworthy craft into an euroclydon. A man can tell by the sense of weakness or strength in the presense of a bad opportunity whether he is in a safe place. How many parents make an awful mistake when they put their boys in banking houses and stores and shops and factories and places of solemn trust, without once discussing whether they can endure tbe temptation. You give the boy plenty of money and have no account of it, and mace the way down become very easy, and you may put upon him a pressure that he can not stand. There are menr.ho go into posi tions full of temptation, considering only the one fact that they are lucrative positions. I say to the young people hete this morning, dis honesty will not pay in this world or the world to come. An abbot wanted to buy a piece of ground and the owner would not sell it, but tbe owner finally consented to let it to him until he could raise one crop, and the abbot sowed acorns, a crop of 200 years! Ana I tell you, young man, that the dishonesties which you plant in your heart and life will seem to be very insignificant, but they will grow np until they will over shadow you with horrible darkness, over shadow all time and all eternity. It will not be a crop for 200 years, but a crop FOB EVERLASTING AGES. I stand this morning before many who have trust funds. It is a compliment to you that you have been so intrusted, but I charge yon, in the presence of God and the world, be care ful; be as careful of the property of others as you are. careful of your own. Above all, keep your own private acconnt at the bank separate from your account as trustee of an estate, or trustee of an institution. This is the point at which thousands of people make shipwreck. They get the property of others mixed up with their own property, they put it into investment and away it all goes, and they cannot return tbatwhich they borrowed. Then comes tbe explosion and the money i market is shaken and the press denounces and the church thunders expulsion. You have no right to use the property of others except for their advantage, nor without consent, unless tbey are minors. If with their consent you invest their property as well as you can, and it is all lost, you are not to blame, you did tbe best you could, but do not come into tbe delusion which has ruined so many men, of thinking because a thing is in their possession, thei ef ore it is theirs. You have a solemn trust that God has given you. In this vast assemblage there maybe-some who have misappropriated trust funds. Pnt them back, or, if you have so hopelessly involved them that you cannot put them back, confess tbe wbole thing to those whom you have wronged, and yon will sleep better nights, and you will have the better chance for your soul. What a sad thing it would be if, after you are dead, your administrator should find out from tbe ac count books, or from tbe lack of vouchers, that you were not only bankrupt in estate, but that you lost your souL If all the trust funds that have been misappropriated should suddenly fly to their owners, and all the property that has been purloined should suddenly go back to Its owners. It would crash into ruin every city in America. IT DOESN'T PAY. ' A blustering young man arrived at a hotel in tbe West and be saw a man on the sidewalk, and in a rough way, as no man has a right to address a laborer, said to him: "Carry this trunk upstairs." The man carried the trunk upstairs and came down, and tben the young man gave him a quarter of . a dollar which was marked, and instead of being 23 cents it was worth only 20 cents. Tben tbe young man gave his card to the laborer and said: "You take this up to Governor Grimes: I want to see him." "Ah," said the laborer, "I am Governor Grimes." "Oh," said the young man, "you I excuse me." Then the Governor said: "I was much impressed by the letter you wrote me asking for a certain office In my gift, and I had made up my mind you should have It; bnt a young man who will cheat a laborer out of 6 cents would swindle the government of the State if he got his hands on it. I don't want von. Good morning, sir." It never pays. Neither in this world nor in the world to come will it pay. I do not suppose there ever was a better specimen of honesty tban was found in tho Dnkeof Wellington. He marched with his army over the French frontier, and the army was suffering, and he hardly knew how to get along. Plenty of plunder all about, but ho commanded none of tbe plunder to be taken. He writes home these remarkable words: "We are overwhelmed with debts, and I can scarcely stir out of my bouse on account of public creditors, waiting to demand what is due to .them. et at that very time tbe French peas antry were bringing their valuables to him to keep. A celebrated writer says of the transac tion: "Nothing can be grander or more nobly original than this admission. This old soldier, after 30 years' service, this iron man and vic torious General, established In an enemy's country at tbe head of an immense army, is afraid of bis creditors! This is a kind of fear tbat has seldom troubled conquerors and in vaders, and I doubt If the annals of war pre sent anything comparable to Its sublime sim plicity." Oh, is It not high time that we preached the morals of the Gospel,right beside the faith of tbe Gospel? Mr. Fronde, the celebrated English historian, has written ot his own coun try these remarkable words: "From the great house in the city of London to tbe villaco gro cer, the commercial life of England has been saturated with fraud. So deep lias it gone tbat a strictly bonest tradesman can hardly hold his ground against competition. Yon can no longer trust that any article yon bny is tbe thine: which it pretends to 3e. We have false weights, false measures, cheating, and SHODDY EVKBXWU.KBE. And yet the clergy liavo seen all this grow up in absolute indifference. Many hundreds of. sermons haveXheard in England, many a dis sertation on the mysteries of the faith, on the divine mission of the clergy, on bishops and justification, and the theory of good works, and verballnsplratlon, and the efficacy or the sacraments; but, during all these SO wonderful years, never one that I can recollect on com mon honesty." ,. Now, that may be an exaggerated statement of things in Englandbut lam very certain that in all parts or the earth we need to pr?S tbe moralities of the gospel right along beside the faith of the eospcl. .. My hearer! What are you doing with that fraudulent document In you pocket? My other hearer! How are you getting along with that wicked scheme vou have njwonfoot? Iahj a "pool ticket'' you have In your pocket? Why, O young man, were you last night prac ticing in copying yonr employer's signature? Where were you last, night? Are your habits as good as when you left your fathers house? You had a Christian ancestry, perhaps, and you have had too many praygrs spent on you to go overboard. Dr. Livingstone, tbe famous explorer, was descended from the Highlanders, and he MUO that one of bis ancestors, one of the High landers, one day called his family around him. The Highlander was dying, ho had his children around- his death bed. He said: "Now, my lads, I have looked all through our history as far back as I can find it, and I have never found a dishonest man in all the line, and I want you to understand youinherit eood blood. You have no excuse for doing wrong. My lads, be honest." Ah, my friends, be honest before God, be honest before your fellowmen.be honest be fore your soul. If there be those here who have wandered away, come back, come home, come now, one and all, not one exception in all the assemblage, come into the kingdom of God. Come back on tbe right track. The door of mercy is open and the infinite heart of God is f nil ot compassion. Come home! Come home! Oh, I would be well satisfied If I could save some young man this morning, some young man that has been going astray and would like to get back. THE BRIDGE IS DOWX. I am dad some one has set to musio that scene in August ol 1SSL when a young girl saved from death a whole rail train of passen gers. Some of you remember that out West, in that year on a stormy night, a hurricane blew down part of a railroad bridge. A freight train came along and it crushed into tbe ruin, and the engineer and conductor perished. There was a girl living in her father's cabin near the disaster, and she heard the crash of the freight train, and she knew that In a few moments an express was due. She lighted a lantern and clambered up on the one beam of the wrecked bridge on to the main bridge, which was trestle work, and started to cross amid the tliunder and the lightning of tbe tempest and the raging of the torrent beneath. One misstep and it would have been death. Amid all that horror the lantern went out. Crawling some times and sometimes walking over tbe slippery rails and over the trestle work, she came to tbe other side of the river. She wanted to get to the telegraph station, where the express train did not stop. The train was due in five minutes. She was one mile off from the telegraph station, but fortunately the train was late. With cut and bruised feet she flew like the wind. Coming up to tbe telegraph station, E anting with almost deathly exhaustion, she ad only strength to shout, "The bridge is down," when she dropped unconscious and could hardly be resuscitated. The message was sent from that station to the next station, and the train halted, and tbat night that brave girl saved tho lives of hundreds of passengers and saved many homes from desolation. But every street is a track, and every style of business is a track, and every day is a track, and everr nlcht is a track, and multitudes un der tbe power of temptation come sweeping' down towara perils raging ana ternnc uoa help us to go out and stop tbe tram. Let us throw some signal. Let us give some warning. By the throne of God let us flash some influence to stop tbe downward progress. Beware! Bo ware! The bridge is down, tbe chasm is deep and tbe lightnings of God set all the night of sin on fire with this warnine: "He, that being often reproved, hardeneth his neck, shall sud denly be destroyed, and that without remedy."

He Operntcd In the United Stntcs and Went to Canada. MoJTTKEAL.March 10. Private Detective Kellert was notified some time ago of the probable arrival here of a very clever forger who has some twenty aliases one of them being Jnmes Laylor, and another Samuel Oakley. To-day Kellert found his man in one of the best hotels here, where he has been living for the past fifteen days. The prisoner has operated in nearly every State of the "Union notably in New York, Ohio, Minnesota, Kansas, Dakota, Mary land and Pennsylvania. He managed to introduce himself into church societies, took charge of Sunday schools and joined actively in the work ot the Young Men's Christian Association, thus winning the confidence of worthy and wealthy people in large cities. "With this confidence to back him, he forged cheeks on his new friends; and after having them cashed would quietly take himself off. He has been operating now for the past five years,' and although the most strenuous efforts have been made to capture him, he always managed to elude pursuers. He is said to have made $60,000 by his forgeries. The heaviest single amount was $12,000. ob tained from a banker in the "West. Is dangerous as well as troublesome.
