AS AN OX TO THE SLAUGHTER.

and Shows That
IXEZimS POSSESSES SOME CAPITAL
1EFSCLU. TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCB.1 .
ST." LOUIS, April 7. The KeY. T. De
"Witt Talmage, D. D., of Brooklyn,
preached here this evening to a vast audi
ence. His subject was "The Slaughter,"
and his text, Proverbs, vii, 21: "As an ox
to the slaughter." The eloquent preacher
said:
There is nothing in the voice or manner of
the butcher to indicate to the ox that there is
death ahead. The ox thinks he is coins on to
a rich pasture field of clover, where all day
long he will revel in the herbaceous luxuri
ance; but after a while the. men and the boys
close in upon him with sticks and stones and
shouting, and drive him through the bars a,nd
Into a doorway, where he is rastencd, and with
a well aimed stroke the ax fells him; and so
the anticipation of the redolent pasture field
is completely disappointed. So many a young
man has been driven on by temptation to what
he thought would he paradisiacal enjoyment;
butarterawhile influences with darker hue
and swath'ier arm close in upon him. and he
finds that instead of making an excursion into
a garden he has been driven "as an ox to the
slanghter."
First We are apt to blame young men for
being destroyed when we ought to blame the
influences that destroy them. Society slaughters
a great many young men bv the behest, "You
must keep up appearances; whatever be your
salary, you must dress as well as others, you
must wine and brandy as many friends, you
must smoke as costly cigars, you must give as
expensive entertainments, and you must live in
as fashionable a boarding bouse. If you bavn't
the money, borrow. If you can'f borrow make
a false entry', or subtract here and there a bill
from a bundle of bank bills; you will only have
to make the deception a little while; in a few
months, or in a year or two, you can make all
right. Nobody will be hurt by it; nobody will
be the wiser. You vourself will not be dam
aged." By that awful process 100,000 men have
been slaughtered for time and
SLAUGHTERED FOR ETERNITY.
Suppose you borrow. There is nothing
wrong about borrowing money. There is hard
ly a man in the house but has sometimes bor
rowed money. Vast estates have been built on
a borrowed dollar. But there are two kinds of
borrowed money. Money borrowed for the
purpose of starting or keeping up legitimate
enterprise and expense, and money borrowed
to get that which you can do without. The
first Is right, the other is wrong. If you have
money enough of your own to buy a coat, how
ever plain, and then you borrow money for a
dandy's outfit, you have taken the first revolu
tion of the w heel down grade Borrow for the
necessities: that may be well. Borrow for the
luxuries; that tins your prospects over in' the
wrong direction.
The Bible distinctly siys the borrower is
servant ot the lender. It is a bad state of
things when you have to go down some other
street to escape meeting some one whom you
owe. If young men knew what is the despot
ism of being in debt more of them would keep
out of it. What did debt do for Lord Bacon,
with a mind towering above the centuries? It
induced him to take bribes and -convict him
self as a criminal before all ages. What did
debt do for Walter Scott? Broken hearted at
Abbotsford. Kept him writing until his hand
gave out in paralysis to keep the Sheriff away
lroni his pictures and statuary. Better for him
if he had minded the maxim which he had chis
eled over the fireplace at Abbotsford: "Waste
not. want net."
The trouble is my friends, the people do not
understand the ethics of going in debt, and
that if you purchase goods with'no expectation
of pay mg for them, or go into debts which you
cannot meet, you steal just so muchmenev.
If I go into a grocer's store and buy sugars
and coffees and meat, with no capacity to pay
for them and no intention of paying for them,
I am more dishonest than if I go into the store,
and when the grocer's face is turned the other
way I fill my pockets with the articles of mer
chandise and
CARRY OFF A HAST.
In the one case I take the merchant's time,
and I take the time of his messenger to trans
fer the goods to my house, while in the other
case I take none of the time of the merchant,
and I wait upon myself, and I transfer the
goods without anv trouble to him. In other
words, a sneak thief is not so bad as a man
who contracts for debts he 'never 'expects to
pay.
- Yet in all our. cities there are families that
move every May day to get into proximity to
other grocers and meat shops and apothecaries.
They owe everybody within half a mile of
where they now live, and next May they will
move Into a distant part of the city, finding a
new lot of victims. Meann hile you, the honest
family in the new house, are bothered day by
day by the knocking at the door of disap
pointed bakers, and butchers, anddrygoods
dealers, and newspaper carriers, and you are
asked where your predecessor is. You do not
know. It was arranged ; on should not know.
Meanwhile your 'predecessor has gone to some
distant part of the city, and the people who
have anything to sell have sent their wagons
and stopped there to solicit the "valuable" cus
tom of the new neighbor, and he. the new
neighbor, with great complacency and with,an
air of affluence, orders the finest steaks and
highest priced sugars, and the best of the
canned fruits, and. perhaps, all the newspapers.
And the debts will keep on accumulating until
he gets bis goods on the 30th of next April in
the furniture cart.
Now, let me say, if there are any such per
sons in the bouse, if you have any regard -for
your own convenience, you had better remove
to some greatly distant part of the city. It is
too bad that, having bad all the trouble of con
suming the goods, you should also have the
trouble of bing dunned! , And let me say that
if you find that this pictures yonr own photo
graph, instead of being in church you ought to
be in the penitentiary! No wonder that so
many of our merchants fail in business.
THEY ARE SWINDLED
into bankruptcy by these wandering Arabs,
these nomads of city life. They cheat the gro
cer out of the green apples which make them
sick, the physician who attends their distress,
and the undertaker who fits them out for de
parture from the neighborhood where they
owe everbody when they pay the debt of na
ture, the only debt they ever do pay!
Now our young men are coming up in this de
praved state of commercial ethics, and I am so
licitous about them. I want to warn them
against being slaughtered on the rough edges
of debt. You want many things you have not,
my young friends. Yon shall have them if you
have patience and honesty and Industry. Cer
tain lines ot conduct always lead out to certain
successes.
There is a law which controls even those
things that seem haphazard. I have been told
by those who have observed that it is possible
to calculate jusp how many letters will be sent
to the Dead Letter office every year through
misdirection: that it is possible to calculate
just how many letters will be detained for lack
of postage stamps through the f orgetf ulness of
the senders, and that it is possible to tell just
how many people will fall in the streets by
slipping on an orange peel. In other words,
there are no accidents. The most insignificant
event you ever heard of is the link between
two eternities the eternity of the past and the
eternity oi tne luture. neaa uierignt way,
young man, and you will come out at the right
goal.
Bring me a young man and tell me what his
physical health is, and what his mental caliber,
and w hat his habits, and I will tell you what
will be his destiny for this world, and his des
tiny for the world to come, and I will not make
6 inaccurate prophecies out of the SU0. All this
makes me solicitous in regard to yonng men,
arid I want to make them nervous in regard to
the contraction of unpayable debts. I give
yen a paragraph from
MY OWlf EXPERIENCE.
My first settlement as pastor was in a village.
My salary was tSOO and a parsonage. The
amount seemed enormous to me. I said to
myself, "What all this for one year?" Lwas
afraid of getting worldly under so much pros
perity! 1 resolved to invite all the congrega
tion to my house in groups of 2.5 each. We
began, and they were the best congregation in
all the world, and we felt nothing was too good
for them, we piled all the luxuries on the table.
I never completed the undertaking. At the
end of six months I was in financial despair.
I found what every young man learns in time
to save himBelf, or too late, that ynu must
measure the size of a man's body before you
begin to cut the cloth for his coat.
When a young man willfully and of choice,
having the comforts of life, goes into the con
traction of unpayable debts heJcnows not into
what he goes. The creditors get after the
debtor, the pack of hounds in full cry, and alas!
for the reindeer. They jingle his doorbell be
fore he gets up in the morning, they iin;le his
doorbell after he has gone to bed at night.
They meet him as he comes off his front steps.
They send him a postal card, or a letter, in
curtest style, telling him to pay up. They at
tach his goods. They want cash, or a note at
30 days, or a note on demand. They call him a
knave. They say he ttes. Ther want him dis
ciplined at the church. They want him turned
out of the bank. They come at him from, this
side, and from that side, and from before, and
from behind, and from above, and from be
neath, and he is insulted and gibbeted, and
sued, and dunned, and sworn at, until he gets
the nervous dyspepsia, gets neuralgia, gets'
liver complaint, gets heart disease, gets con
vulsive disorder, gets consumption.
Wow he is dead, and you say: "Of course
they will let him alone." Oh, no! Now they
are watchful to see whether there are any un
necessary expenses at the obsequies, to see
whether there is any useless handle on the
casket, to see whether th.ere is any surplus
plait on the shroud, to see whether the hearse
is costly or cheap, to see whether the flowers
sent to the casket have been bought by the
family or donated, to see in whose name the
deed to the grave is made out. Then they ran
sack the bereft household, the books, the pict
ures, the carpets, the chairs, the sofa, the
piano, the mattresses, the pillow on which he
dies.
CURSED BE DEBT !
For the sake of your own happiness, for the
sake of your good morals, for the sake of your
immortal soul, for God's sake, young man, as
far as possible, keep out of it.
IL But I think more young men are slaught
ered through irrcligion. Take away a young
man's religion and you make him the prey of
evil. We all know that the Bible is the only
perfect system of morals. Now if you want to
destroy the young man's morals take his Bible
away. How will you do that? Well, you will
caricature his reverence for the Scriptures, you
will take all those incidents of the Bible which
can be made mirth ot Jonah's whale, Sam
son's foxes, Adam's rib then you will carica
ture: eccentric Christians or inconsistent
Christians, then you will pass off as your own
all those hackneyed arguments against Christ
ianity which are as old as Tom Paine, as old as
Voltaire, as old as sin. Now you have captured
his Bible, and .you have taken his strongest
fortress: the way is comparatively clear, and'
all the gates of his soul araset open in invita
tion to the sins of earth and the sorrows of
death, that they may come in and drive the
stake for their encampment.
A steamer 15,000 miles from shore wilh
broken rudder and lost compass, and hulk
leaking 59 gallons the hour, is better off than a
young man when you'have robbed him of his
Bible. Have you ever noticed how despicably
mean it is to take away the world's Bible with
out proposing a substitute? It is meaner than
to come to a sick man and steal his medicine,
meaner than to come to a cripple and steal his
crutch, meaner than to come to a pauper and
steal his crust, meaner than to come to a poor
man and burn his house down. It is the worst
of all larcenies to steal the Bible, which has
been the crutch and medicine and food and
eternal home to so .many! What a generous
and magnanimous business infidelity has gone
into! This splitting up of lifeboats and taking
away of fire escapes and extinguishing of light
houses. t
FATAL FUN.
I come out and I say to such people, "What
are you doing all this for?" "Oh," they say,
"just for fun." It is such fun to see Christians
try to bold on to their Bibles! Many of them
have lost loved ones, and have been told that
there is a resurrection, and it is such fun to
tell them there will be no resurrection! Many
of them hare believed that Christ came to
carry the bnrdens and to heal the wounds of
the world, and it is such fun to tell them they
will have to be their own savior! Think of the
meanest thing you ever heard of; .then go down
1,000 feet underneath it, and you will find your
self at the ton of a stair 100 miles long; go to
the bottom of the stairs, and you will find a
ladder 1,030 miles long; then go the foot of the
ladder and look off a precipice half as far as
from here to China, and you will find the head
quarters of the meanness that would rob this
world of its only comfort in life, its only peace
in death and its only hope for immortality.
Slaughter a young man's faith in God, and
there is not much more left to slaughter.
Now. what has become of the slaughtered?
Well, some of them are in their father's or
mother's house,broken down in health, waiting
to die: others are in the hospital; others are in
Greenn ood, or, rather, their bodies are, for
their souls have cone on to retribution. Not
much prospect for a young man who started
life with good health and good education and a
Christian example set him, and opportunity of
usefulness, who gathered all bis treasures and
put them in one box, and then dropped it into
the sea.
Now. how is this wholesale slaughter to be
stopped? There is not a person in the house
but is interested in that question. Young man,
arm yourself. The object of my sermon is to
put a weapon in each of your hands for your
own defense. Wait not for Young Men's
Christian Associations to protect you, or
churches to protect you. Appealing to God
for help,
TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF.
First, have a room somewhere that you can
call your own. Whether it be the back parlor
of a fashionable boarding house, or a room in
the fourth story of a cheaD lodging, I care not.
Only have that one room your fortress. Let
not the dissipator or the nnclean step over the'
threshold. If they come up the long flight of
stairs and knock at the door, meet them face to
face and kindly yet firmly refuse them admit
tance. Have a few family portraits on the
wall, if you brought them with you from your
country home. Have a Bible on the stand. If
you can afford it and can play on one, have an
instrument of music harp or flute, or cornet,
or melodeon. or violin, or plana Every morn-.
ing before you leave that room, pray. Every
night after you come home in that room, pray.
Make that room your Gibraltar, your Sevasto
pol, your Mount Zion. Let no bad book or
newspaper come into that room, any more than
you would allow a cobra to coil on your table.
Take care of vourself. Nobody else will take
care of you. Your help will not come np two
or three or four flights of stairs; your help will
come through the roof, down from heaven,
from that God who in the 6,000 years of the
world's history never betrayed a young man
who tried to be good and a Christian. Let me
say in regard to your adverse wordly circum
stances, in passing, that yon are on a level now
with those who are finally to succeed. Mark
my words, young man, and think of it 3C years
from now. You will find that those who 30
years from now are the millionaires of this
country, who are the orators of the country,
who are the poets of the country, who are the
strong merchants of the country, who are the
great philantbrophists of the country
mightiest in church and state are this morn
ing on a level with you, not an inch above, and
you in straitened circumstances now.
Herscbel earned his living by playing a violin
at parties, and in thainterstices of the play be
would go out and look up at the midnight
heavens, the fields of his immortal conquests.
George Stephenson rose from being the fore
man in a colliery to be the most renowned of
the world's engineers. No outfit,
NO CAPITAL TO START WITH!
Young man, go down to the Mercantile Li
brary and get some books and read of what
wonderful mechanism God gave you in your
hand, in youi foot, in your eye, in your ear, and
then ask some doctor to take you into the dis
secting room and illustrate to you what you
have read about, and never again commit the
blasphemy of saying you have no capital to
start with. Equipped! Why, the poorest
young man in this house is equipped as only
the God of the whole universe could affor 1 to
equip him. Then his body a very poor affair
compared with his wonderful soul oh, thit is
what makes me solicitous. I am not so much
anxious about you, young man, because you
have so little to do with, as I am anxions about
you because so have much to risk and lose or
gain.
There is no class of persons that so stir my
sympathies as young men in rreat cities. Not
quite enough salary to live on, and all the
temptations that come from that deficit. In
vited on all hands to drink, and their exhausted
nervous system seeming to demand stimulus.
Their religion caricatured by the most of the
clerks in the store and most of the operatives
in the factory. The rapids of temptation and
death rushing against that young man 40 miles
the hour, and be in a frail boat headed up
stream, with nothing but a broken oar to work
with. Unless Almighty God help them they will
go under.
Ah! when I told you to take care of yourself
you misunderstood me if you thought I meant
you are to depend on human resolution, which

I never shall forget a prayer I heard a young
man make some 15 years ago. It was a very
short prayer, but it was a tremendous prayer:
"Oh, Lord, help us. We find it so vary easy to
do wrong and so hard to do right. Lord, help
us." That prayer, I warrant you, reached the
ear of God, and reached his heart. And there
are in this house 100 men who have found out
1,000 young men, perhaps, who have found out
that very thing. It is so very easy to do wrong,
and
SO HARD TO DO RIGHT.
I got a letter, only one paragraph of which I
shall read: "Having moved around somewhat
I have run across many ypung men of intelli
gence, ardent strivers after that will-o'-the-wisp,
fortune, and of one of these I would speak. He
was a young Englishman of 23 or 31 years, who
came to New York, where he had acquaint
ances, with barely sufficient to keep him a
couple of weeks. He had been tenderly reared;
perhaps I should say too tenderly, and was not
used to earning bis living, and found it ex
tremely difficult to get any position that he was
capable of filling. After many vain efforts in
this direction he found himself on Sunday
evening in Brooklyn, near your church, with
about S3 left of his small capital. Providence
seemed to lead him to yonr door, and he deter
mined to go in and hear you.
"He told me his going to hear you that night
was undoubtedly the turning point in his life,
for when he went into your church he felt des
perate, but whilelistcning to your discourse his
better nature got the mastery. I truly believe
from what this young man told me that your
soundingtbe depths ot his heart that night
alone brought him back to his God whom he
was so near leaving."
The echo, that is of multitudes in the house.
I am not preaching an abstraction, bnt a great
reality. Oh! friendless young man, Ob! prodi
gal young man. Oh! broken hearted young man,
discouraged young man, wounded young man,
I commend you to Christ this day, the best
friend a man ever had. He meets you this
evening. You have come here for this bless
ing. Despise not that emotion rising in yonr
soul: it is divinely lifted. Look into. tho face of
Christ. Lift one prayer to your father's God,
to yonr mother's God, and get the pardoning
blessing. Now, while I speak, you are at the
forks of the road, and this is the right road,
and that is the wrong road, and I see you
START ON THE BIGHT ROAD.
One Sabbath morning, at the close of my
service, I saw a gold watch of the world re
nowned and deeply lamented violinist. OleBull.
You remember he died in his island home off
the coast of Norway. Tha,t gold watch he had
wound up day after day through his illness,
and then he said to his companion, "Now I
want to wind this watch as long as I can, and
then when I am gone I want you to keep it
wound up until it gets to my friend. Dr. Dore
mus, in New York, and then he will keep it
wound up until his life is done, and then I want
the watch to go to his young son, my especial
favorite.
The great musician, who more than any other
artist had made the violin speak and sing and
weep and laugh and triumph for it seemed
when he drew the bow across the strings as if
all earth and heaven trembled in delighted
sympathy the great musician, in a room look
ing off upon the sea, and surrounded by his fa
vorite instruments of music, closed his eyes in
death. While all the world was mourning at
his departure. 16 crowded steamers fell into
line of funeral procession to carry his body to
the main land. There were 50.000 of nis coun
trymen gathered in. an amphitheater of the
hills, waiting to hear the eulogium. and it was
said when the great orator of the dSy with
stentorian voice began to speak, the 50,000 peo
ple on the hillsides burst into tears.
Oh! that was the close of a life that had done
so much to make the world happy. But I have
to tell you. young man, if you live right and
die right, that was a tame scene compared with
that which will greet you when from the gal
leries of heaven the one hundred and forty and
four thousand shall accord with Christ in
crying. "Well done, thou good and faithful
servant."

motion will go down from generation to gen

Sneezing Catarrh.
The distressing sneeze, sneeze, sneeze, the
acrid, watery discharges from the eyes and
nose, tne painful inflammation extending to
the throat, the swelling of the mucous lining,
causing choking sensations, cougH, ringing
noises in the head and splitting headaches,
how familiar these symptoms are to thousands
who suffer periodical! v from bead colds or in
fluenza, and who live in ignorance of the fact
that a single application of Sanford's Radi
cal Cure fob Catarrh will afford" instan
taneous relief.
But this treatment in cases of simple catarrh
gives but a faint idea of what this remedy will
do in the chronic forms, where the breathing is
obstructed by choking, putrid mucous accumu
lations, the bearing affected, smell and taste
gone, throat ulcerated and hacking cough
gradually fastening itself upon the debilitated
system. Then it. is that the marvelous cura
tive power of Sanfobd's Radical cube
manifests itself in instantaneous and grateful
relief. Cure begins from the first application.
It is rapid, radical, permanent, economical,
safe.

Mr. John H. King, a well-known citizen of
Allegheny county, residing at Tarentum, has
for a long time suffered from Catarrh. He
bad a hacking cough, dizziness and pain over
the eyes. The tough, tenacious mucous in his
head and throat was hard to raise, and gave
him such a choked-up feeling. Ue took cold
easily, and his throat often became sore. Hav
ing been unable to find any relief, he began
treatment with the specialists for Catarrh at

The above two sentiments are printed in capital letters in our busi

when in connection with young folk's wear. It suits the character of
the little customers, the patterns of the goods for them, the brightness
and briskness of waiting on them. Certainly the styles are here. Cer
tainly the variety is here. Certainly the beauty of cut, trimming and
workmanship are here, ?nd certainly, as a result of all these, THE
TRADE IS HERE. Why, it's a positive fact

we devote to Boys' Clothing. And, remember, we are not experiment

ago"' the kind of material that is safe to put into Boys' Clothing so that
the knees and elbows don't come through too soon. This is an im
