course on Dishonesty.

' "- Temptation.
THE FEEQUEXT ABUSE OP TBUST FUNDS
IBrECIAt TEIXGBAJI TO THE DISPATCH. J
Bbookltk, March 10. 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."

A CLEVEE FORGER CAPT0KED.
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.
It renders the patient liable to the rup
ture of a blood vessel or to other serious
injury of throat and lungs. To allay
bronchial irritation and give immediate
relief, the best medicine is Ayer's
Cherry Pectoral.
" I was recently troubled with a dry
congh which seemed to be caused by an
irritation in the throat. My physician
prescribed forme, but no relief was ob
tained. A little over a week ago, my
attention being called to Ayer's Cherry
Pectoral, I concluded to try it, and pur
chased a bottle. After taking this med
icine only one day, I could see a chango
for the better, and, by' the time I had
used" it a week, my cough had entirely
disappeared." H. W.Denny, Franklin
square, "Worcester, Mass.
"Ayer's Cherry Pectoral leads all

When on the 8th of September,'
six months ago, we opened our new
stores we resolved that whenever an

months unsold, it should be dubbed

we know to avoid accumulating old
stock, and have always new, fresh
and desirable goods to show to our
customers. iOn the 8th of March
the six, months were up and word

of departments and to all the sales
men and saleswomen:
"Bring forth the lambs for sacri
