Mr. Carnegie's Fiample Contrasted With Tliat of Otlier Wealthy Men WHO SPEND 0 MONEI IN DOING GOOD rSPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH 1 Beooklyx, March 30. There was the usual difficulty in getting seats, or even Etanding-room, in the Academy of Music this morning when the service commenced, the ordinary Tabernacle congregation being increased by throngs of persons eager to listen to the eloquent preacher. Th; service opened with the singing of the long meter Doxology by the immense audi ence. Dr. Talmage's suhjtct was, "A Dead Xion," and his text Eccles. 0:4, "A living dog is better than a dead lion." Following is a verbatim report of the sermon: The Bible is the strangest, the loveliest, the mightiest, the weirdest, the best of hooks. "Written by Moses the lawyer, Joshua the sol dier, Samuel the juclsc Ezra the builder. Job the poet, David the shepherd, Daniel the prime minister, Amos the herdsman, Matthew the custom liouse officer, Luke the doctor, Paul the scholar, John the exile; and yet a complete harmony from the middle verso of the Bible, which is the eiqbth verse or the one hundred and seventeenth Psalm, both wavs to the upper and lower lids, and from the shortest passage, which is the thirty-fifth vcise of the eleventh chapter of John, to the longest verse, which is the ninth verse of the eighth chapter of Esther. and yet not an imperfection in all the 773.63 words which It is compc-ed of. It not only reaches over the past, hut over the future: has in it a ferryboat, as in IL Samuel: and a telegraphic wire, as in Job: and a railroad train, as in Xahum; and In troduces to us a foundryman by the name of Tubal Cain, ana a shipbuilder by the name ot 2ioah, and an architect by the name of Aholiab, and tells ns how manv stables Silotnon had to take caro of hN horses, and how much he paid lor those horses. Hut few things in this versa tile and comprehensive book interest me so much as its apothegm, those short, terse, sen tentious, epigrammatic saings, of which my text Is one "A living dog is better ihan a dead lion." THE KING OP BEASTS. Here the lion stands for nobility, and the dog tor meanness. You must know that the dog mentioned in the text is not one of our Ameri can or European or Scottish dogs that, in our mind, Js a synonym lor tee beautiful, the grace ful, the affectionate, tne sagacions and the true. The St. Bernard dog is a hero, and if you doubt it, ask the snows of the Alps, ont of which he picked the exhausted traveler. The shepherd doe is a poem, and if you doubt it, ask the Highlands of Scotland. The Arctic dog is the rescue of explorers, and it you doubt it, ask Dr. Kane's expedition. The watch dog is a living protection, and if vou donbt it, ask 10,000 homesteads over whose safety he watched last night. But Solomon, the author of my text, lued in Jerusalem, and the dog he speaks of in the text nas a doz In Jerusalem. Last December 1 passed days and nights within a stone's throw of where Solomon wrote thr text, and trom whit I saw of the canines or Jerusalem by day, and heard of them by nigh . 1 can understand the slicht appreciation mv text puts upon the dog of Pal- csviuc it is irau k:iu Miany ana distrusting, and afflicted with parasites, and takes revenge on the human race by filling the nichts with clamor. All up and down the Bible, the most of which was written in Palestine or Syria, or co tiguous lands, the dog is used in "con temntuous comparison Hazael said: "Is thv Bervan a dog that he should do this thinsT"' In self-vbnecation the Syro-Phoenician woman said: "'Even the dogs eat o lithe crumbs which fall from the Master's table." Paul says, in Fhilippions: "Beware of dogs;" and Ft. John, speaking ol heaven, says: "Without are docs." On the other hand the lion is healthy, stronc, and liud-voiced. and at its roar the forests echo and the mountains tremble. It is marvelous for strergth. and when its hide is removed the muscular compactness is something wonderful, and the knife tjf .he dissector bounds back from the tendons. Bv the clearing off of the forests or Palestine and theuseof firearms, of which the 'ion is particularly afraid, they have disap- S eared from places where once they ranged, ut they were very bold m olden times. Thev attacked an armv of Xerxes while marching through Macedonia. They were so numerous that 1.OU0 lions were slain in 40 years in the amphith -iter at Rome. The Barbary lion, the Cape lion, the Scnejral lion, the Assyrian lion, make up a most absorbing and excitim chapter in natural historj. As most of the Bible was written IK EEGIONS LION-nATJNTED, this creature appears in almost all parts oi th Alible as a simile. David understood its ha of night-prowling and day-slumbenus, as is seen fiom his description: "The young lions roar arter their prey and seek their meat from God. The sun riseth. they gather themselves together, and lay them down in their dens." And again he cries out, "My soul is among lions." Moses knew them and said, "Jud.vh is couched like a lion." Samson knew them, for ho took honey from the carcass of a slain lion. Solomon knew them, and says: "The kinc's wrath is as the roar of a lion:" and again. "The slothful man says. There is a lion in the way." Isaiah knew them and says in the millennium. "The lion shall eat straw like an ox.'" Ezekiel knew them, and says: "The third was as the face of a lion." Paul knew them and says- "I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion." Peter knew tnem and says. "The devil as a roaring lion walketh about." St. John knew them, and savs of Christ: Behold tho Lion of the tribe or Judahl" Now, what does my text mean when it nuts a l'vinc; dog and a dead lion side by side.and says the fotmer is better than the latte ? It means that small faculties actively used are of more value than great faculties unemployed. How often yon see it! Some man with limited ca pacity vastly useful. He takes that which God has given him andsajs: "Mv mer.tal endow ment is not large and the world would not rate ine high for mv intPlligence.andmy vocabulary is limited and mv education was defective, but here iroes what I have for God and salvation, and the making oi tho world good and happy." He puts in a word here and a word there, en courages faint-hearted man. gives a Scripture passage in cousolation to some bereft woman, picks up a child fallen in the street and helps him brush off the dnst and puts a 5-cent piece in his hand, telling him not to crv, so thit the bov is singing before he gets ronnd the corner; waiting on everybody that has a letter to carry or a message to de liver: comes into a rail tram, ora stage coach, or depot, or shop, with a smiling face that sets everybody to thinkinc "If that man can, with what appears small equipment in life, be happy, why cannot L possessing far more than he has. be oqually happj V One day of that kind of doing things may not amount to much, but 40 years ot that no one but God Himself can ap preciate its immensity. There are tens of thousands of such people. Their circle of acquaintance is small. The man is known over at the store. He is clerk or weigher or dravmau, and he is known among those who sit near him clear bick in the church under the galleries, andat theferry gates where he comes in knocking the snow from his shoes, and threshing his arms around his body to re vive circulation, on tome January morning. But If be should die to-morrow there would not le a hundred people who would know about it. NOBLEMEN UNKNOWN TO FAME. He will never have his name in the news papers but o.ice, and that will be the announce ment of his death, if someone will pay for the insertion, so much a line for the two lines. But lie will come up gloriously on the other side, and the God who has watched over him all through will give him a higher seat and a lietter mansion and a grander eternity than many a man who had on earth, before his came, the word Honorable, and after his name -I ,LLD.audF. R.S. Christ said in Luke, the sixth chapter, that in heaven some who had it haid here would laugh there. And I think a laugh of delight and congratulation will run around the heavenly circles when this humble one of whom I spoke shall go up and take the precedence of many Christians who in this v orld felt themselves to he of 99 per cent more importance. The whisper will go ronnd the galleries of the upper temple: "U;-a it be pos sible that that wa the weigher in our store?" -'Can it be possible that that was the car driver on our street?" Can it be possible that was the sexton of our church?" Can it be possible that is the man that heaved coal into our cellar?" 'I never could have thought it. "What a reversal of things: We w ere clear ahead of him on earth, but ho Is clear ahead of us in heaven. Why we had ten times more brain, than bo had. we had a thousand times more monev thau he had, we had social posi tion a mile higher than he had, we had innu merable opportunities more than ho had, but it seems now that he accomplished more with his one talent than we did with onr ten;" while Solomon, standing among the thrones, overhears the whisper, and sees the wonder ment and will with benignant and all-succes- tive smile say: "Yes, it is as I told the world many centuries ago better is small facultv actively used than great talent unemployed, 'better is a living dog than a dead lion.' " The simple fact is that the world has been, and the world is now, full of dead lions. They are people of crcat capacity and lame oppor tunity, doinz nothing for tho improvement of society, nothing for the overthrow of evil, nothing for the salvation of souls. Some of them are monetary lions. They have accumu lated so many hundreds of thousands of dollars that you ran feel their tread when they walk through any street or come into any circle They can by one hnanciil move upset the money market. Instead of the ten per cent of their income which tho Bible lays down as the proper proportion of their contribution to the cause ol God, tbey do not give Ave per cent, or hree per cent, or two per cent, or one per ceut, or a half per cent, or a quarter per cent. EARTHLY AND HEAVENLY TREASURES. That they are lions, no one doubts. When they roar. Wall street, State street, Lombard street and tho Bourse tremble. In a few years they will lie down and die. They will have a great funeral, and a long row of fiuo carriages. and mightiest requiems will roll from the organ and polished shaft of Aberdeen granite w ill In dicate where their dust lies, but for all use to the world that man might as well have never lived. As an experiment as to how much ho can carry with him, put a 10-cent piece in the palm of his dead hand, ami five years after open the tomb, and you will find that he has dropped even the 10 cent niece. A lion! Yes, but a dead lion! He left "all his treasures on earth, and has no treasures in heaven. What shall the stone cutter put upon the obelisk over him? I suggest, let it be the man's name, then the date of his birth, then tho date of his death, then the appropriate scripture passage: "Better is a living dog than a dead lion.'' Bet I thank God that we are having just now an outburst of splendid boiieliteuce that is to increase until the earth i girdled with it. It is spreading with the speed of an epidemic, but with just the opposite effect of an epidemic Do you not notice how wealthy men are opening free libraries, and building churches in their native village? Have you not seen how men of large means. Instead of leaving great philan thropies in their w ills for disappointed heirs to quarrel about, and the orphan courts to swamp, are becoming their own executors and adminis trators? After putting aside enough for their families (for "he that provideth not for his own, ann especially those of his own household, is worse than an infidel"), they are saying: "What can 1 do. not after I am dead, but while living, and in full possession of my faculties, to prop erly direct the building of the churches or the nospitais or tne colleges or the libraries that 1 design for the public welfare, and while yet I have full capacity to enjov the satisfaction of seeing the good accorapltehcd?" Tberoarebad fashions and good fashiens, and, whether good or bad. fashions ate miirht v. One of the good fashions now starting will sweep tho earth the fashion for wealthy men to distribute, while yet alive, their surplus ac cumulation. It H beine helped by the fact that so many large estates have, immediately after the testator's death, gone into litigation. Attorneys with Urge fees are employed on both sides, and tho case goes on month after month and year after year, and after one conrt decides it ascends to another court, and is de cided in the opposite direction, and then new evidence is found, and THE TRIALS ABE ALL REPEATED. The children, who at the father's funeral seemed to have an uncontrollable grief, after the will is read go into elaboiate process to prove that the father was crazy, and therefore incompetent to make a will; and there are men on the jury who think that the fact that the testator gave so much of bis money to the Bible society, and the missionary society, or the opening of a free library is proof positivo that he was insane, and that be knew not what he was signing when he subscribed to the words: "In the name of God amen. I. being of sound mind do make this my last will and testament." The torn wills, the fraudulent wills, the broken wills have recently been made such a spectacle to angels and "to men that all over the land successful men are calling in archi tects and saying to them: "How much would it cost for ine to build a picture gallery for our town?" or "What planB ran you draw me ont for a roncert hall?" or, "I am specially inter ested in "the Incurables,' and how large a build ing would accommodate 300 of such patients?" or, "The Church of God has been a great help to me all my life, and I want yon to draw me a plan for a church, commodious, beautiful, well ventilated, and with plenty of windows to let in the light; I want you to get right at work in making out plans of such a building, for, though I am well now. life is uncertain, and before I leave the world I want to see some thing done that will be an appropriate acknowl edgment of the goodness of God to me and mine: now when can I hear from you?" In our own city we have many examples of this. What a grandeur of beneficence has onr fellow-citizen, Mr. Pratt, demonstrated, build ine educational institutions which will put their hands on th9 nineteenth century, and the twentieth century, and all the centuries! All honor to such a man! Do not say so when he is dead, say it now. It would be a good thing II some ot the eulogies we chisel on tombstones were written on paper in time for the philan thropists to read them while yet they are alive. Less post-mortem praise, and more ante mortem! ANDREW CARNEGIE'S EXAMPLE. A poor Scotch lad came to America at 12 years of age and went to Pittsburg. He looked around for work, and became an engineer in a cellar, then rose to become a telegraph messen ger boy. then rose to a position in a railroad office, then rose to a place in a telegraph office, then rose to be superintendent of a railroad, then rose till he became an iron and steel manufacturer, then rose until he opened freo libraries in his native land, and last month a free library in Allecheny City, and now oilers 2,000,000 for a free library in Pitts burg. This example will be catching until the earth is revolutionized. How majestic such men in comparison with some I wot of, who amass wealth and clutch it with both hands until death begins to feel for tbeir heart strings, and then they dictate to an attorney a last will and testament, in which they spite some daughter because she married against her father's wish, and flme a few crusts to God and sufferingbumanity, as mnch as to say: "I have kept this surplus property, through all these severe winters, and through all theselongjears, from a needy and suffering world, and would keep it longer if I could, hut as I must give it up, take 1 and much good may it do you!" Now wo begin to understand the text, "Better is a living dog than a dead lion." Who would attempt to write the obituary of the dead lions of commerce, the dead lions of law. the dead Huns of medicine, the dead lions ot social influence? Vast capacity had they, and mighty range, and other men in their pres ence were as powerless as tho antelope or heifer or giraffe wncn from the jungle a Nu luidian lion spiing-. upon us prey. But they get through with life. They lay down in their magnificent lair. They have made their last (sharp bargain. They have spoken their last hard word. They have committed their last mean act. When a tawny Inhabitant of the desert rolls over helpless, the lioness and whelps fill the air with shrieks and howls, and lash themselves into lamentation, and it is a genuiue grief for the poor things. But when this dead lion of monstrous uselessncss expires, there is nothing bnt dramatized w oe, for "bet ter is a living dog than a dead lion." My text also means that an opportunity of tbeliving present is better than a great opportunity parsed. We spend much of our time in say ing: "If I only had." We can all look back and see some occasion where we might have done a great need, or might have effected an important rescue, or we inidit have dealt a stroke that would have accomplished a vast result. Through stupidity or lack of apprecia tion of the crisis, or through procrastination, we let the chance go by. How much TIME WEIAVE "WASTED in thinking ot what we might have said or might have done! We spend hours and days and years in walking around that dead lion. We cannot resuscitate it. It will never ooen itsejes again. There will never be another spring in its paw. Dead as any feline terror of South Africa, through whose heart 30 years ago Gordon Cumtning sent the slug. Do not let ns give any more time to the deploring of the dead past. There are other oppoi tunities remain ing. They may not be as great, but they are worth our attention. Small opportunities all around, opportunities for the sayicg of kind words and doing of kind deeds. Helplessness to be helped. Disheartened ones to bo encour aged. Lost ones to he found. Though the present may be insignificant as compared with the past, "Better is a living dog than a dead lion." The most useless and painful feeling is the one ot regret. Repent of lost opportunities we must, and get pardon wo may, but regrets weaken, dishearten, and cripple for want of THE OLD ENEMY.

If the sea captain who once had chargo of a White Star steamer across the At lantic ocean, one foggy night runs on a rock off Newfoundland, and passengers and ship perish, shall he refuse to take command of a small boat up the North River and sav: "I never wlil go on the water again unless I can run one of the White Star line?" Shall tho engineer of a lightning express, who at a station mis-read the telegram of a train dispatcher and went into collision, and for that has been put down to the work of engineering a freight train say, "I never will again mount an engine nnless I can run a vestibule ex press?" Take what you have of opportunity left. Do your best with what remains. Your shortest winter day is worth more to yon than can be the longest day of a previous summer. Your opportunity now. as compared with pre vious opportunities, mav be small as a rat ter rier compared w 1th the lion which at Matabosa, fatally wounded by the gun of David Living stone, in its death a"gony leaped upon the mis sionary explorer, and with its jaws crushed the bone of his arm to splinters, and then rolled over and expired, but, "better is a living dog than a dead lion." , My text also means that the condition of the most wretched man alive i better than that of the most favored sinners departed. The chance of these last is gone. Where they are they cannot make any earthly assets available. After Charlemagne was dead he was set in an ornamented sepulchre on a golden throne, ana a crown was put on his cold brow, and a sceptre in ins stall nana, nut that gave mm no uomin ion in the next world. One of tho most in tensely interesting things I saw last winter in Egypt was PHARAOH OF OLDEN TIMES, the very Pharaoh who oporessed the Israelites. The inscriptions on his sarcophagus and the writing on his mummy bandages prove beyond controversy that he was the Pharaoh of Bible times. All the Egyptologists and the explora tions agreo that it is the old scoundrel himself. Visible are the very teeth with which he gnashed against the Israelitish brickmakcrs. There are the sockets of the meragess eyes with which he looked upon the overburdened people of God. There is the hair that floated in the breeze off the Red Sea. There are the very lips with which be commanded them to makebricks without straw. Thousands of years afterward, when the wrappings of the mummy were un rolled, old Pharaoh lifted up his arm as if in imploration, but his skinny bones cannot again clutch his shattered sceptre. He is a dead linn. And is not any man now living, in the fact that he has opportunity of repentance and salvation, better off than any of those departed ones who, by authority or possessions or influSnco. were positively leonine, and yet wicked? What encouragement in the text for all Christian workers! Despair of no one's salva tion. While there is life there is hope. When in England a voung ladv asce.i for n class In n. Sunday school, the superintendent said: "Bet ter go out on tho street and get your own class." Sho brought in a ragged and hlthy hoy. The superintendent gave him good apparel. In a few bundays he absented himself. Inquiry discovered that in a street flght he had his de cent apparel torP ntr Ho n hrnnr.hr in -itiiI a second time respectably clad. After a few Sundays he again disappeared, and it was found t?t hf was again ragged and wretched. Then, Said the teacher, "we can do nothing with him." But the superintendent fitted him up again and started him again. THE LAST SHALL BE FIRST. After a while the gospel took hold of him and his heart changed. He started for the ministry and became a foreign missionary and on heathen grounds lived, and translated the Scriptures, and preached, until among the most illustrious names of the church on earth and in heaven is the name of glorious Robert Morrison. Go forth and save the lost, and re member however depraved, however tagged, and however filthy and undone a child is, or a man is, or a woman is, they are worth an effort. I would rather have their opportunity than any that will ever be given to those who lived In magnificent sin and splendid unrighteous ness and then wrapped their gorgeous tapestry around them and wlthont a prayer expired. "Better is a living dog than a dead lion." In the great day it will be tound that the last shall he first. There are in the grog shops and in the haunts of iniquity to-day those who will yet be models of holiness and preach Christ to the people. In yonder group ol young men who came here with no useful purpose, there is one who will yet live for Christ and perhaps die for Him. In a pulpit stood a stranger preaching, and he said: "The last time I was in this church was 15 years ago, and the circum stances were peculiar. Three young men bad come, expecting to disturb the service, and they had stones in their pockets which they ex pected to hurl at the preacher. One of the yonng men referred to refused to take part in the assault, and the others, in disgust at his cowardice. left the building. One of the three was hanged for forgery. Another is in prison, condemned to death for murder. I was the third, but the grace of God saved me." My hearer, give no one up. The case may seem desperate, but the grace of God likes to undertake a dead lilt. I proclaim it this day to all tho people Free Grace! Living and dying, be that my theme Free Grace! Sound it across the continent, sound it across the seas Free Grace! Spell out the words in flowers, lift them in arches, build them in thrones, roll them in oratorios Free Grace!

A SHORT CHAT -ABOUT- DRESSES is always enjoyed by the Ladies. We could inter estingly talk for a whole week about our new styles and yet leave the half untold. The assortment is so large, you know, that we hardly know where to begin. So we just want to specialize our LADIES' JERSEY DRESSES at $2 49. Don't sneer at these dresses because we sell them at $2 49. If Mr. Dry-Goods-Dealer had, he'd ask $$ for them. And, we must confess, they wouldn't be dear at that. The truth, there are dozens of dresses sold in this city every day for $6, $j and $8 which won't give half the service of our Jersey Dresses at 2 49. We have them in blue and black (fast colors) and they're beautifully, tastefully and fashionably trimmed. We also have a fine quality which we sell at 4.
