DE.TALHAGE JprECIXLTELECKAMTO THE DISPATCH.! Brooklyn, Dec 21. Dr. Talmage preached the following sermou this morning in the Academy of Music, in this city, and axaiu in the eveninc at service in Xew York. His text was Joshua, si., 5: "And when all these kings were met together, they came and pitched together at the waters of Jleroai to fisht against Israel." We are encampea to-night Jn Palestine by the waters of Merom. After a long march we hate fouiid oar tents pitched, onr fires kindled, and though far away from civilization, a Tar!ety of food that would not compromise a Urst-clas American bold, for the most of our caravan starts an hour and a half earlier in the morning. Wo detain only two mules carrying to much of our baggage as we might acci dentally need, and a tent for the noonday luncheon. Tho malarias around ibis Lake Mciin arc so poisonous that at any other sea son of the j ear encampment here Is perilous, but this winter mcht the air is touic and health ful. In thi": neighbnrbooa Joshua fonght his last great battle. U'be nations had banded tbemseUes together to crush this Joshua, but along the banks of these waters Joshua left their carcasses. Indeed it is time that w e more minutely examine this Joshua of whom we have in these discourses caught only a moment ary cliinpse. although lie crossed and recrossed Palestine, ana next to Jesus is the moststirring and mighty character whose foot ever touched, the Holy Land. Moses was dead. A beautiful tradition says the Lord kissed him. and in that act drew forth the soul of the aving lawgiver. He had been buried, only one Person at the funeral, the same One who fcied him. Dut God nerer takes a man awa from any place of usefulness but he has someone rcadv. The Lord does not go looking around amid a great variety of candi dates to find someone especially littca for the vacated position. He makes a loin for that Slace. iloses has parsed off the stare, and oshua. the hero, puts his foot on the platform of historv so solidly that all the ages echo with the ti cad. A GREAT UNDERTAKING. For the most part, when the General of an army starts ont in a conflict he would like to liavcasmall battle in order that he may get his courage u and he may rally his troops and get ifccm dulled for greater conflicts; but this lirst undertaking of Joshua was creater than tho leveling of Fort Pulaski, or the thundering down ol Gibraltar, or the overthrow of the bas tile. It was the crossing of the Jordan at the time of the spring freshet. The snows af Mount Lebanon had just been melting and they poured down into the alley, and The whole valley was a raging torrent. fco the Canaanites stand on one bank and they look aemss and see Joshua and the Israelites, and they laugh and saj: "Aha! aha! the cannot disturb us in time until the freshets fall; it is impossible for them to reach us.' Hut arter a while they look across the water and they t-ec a movement in the armv of Jn-hua. They say. "What's the matter now Why there must beapaiucamonjr these troops, and they arc going to fly, or per haps thej are going to try to march across the liver Jordan. Joshua is a lunatic." But Joshua, the chief tarn, loots athisarmyundcries: -Forward, march: " and the start for the bank of She Jun'-in. Mne mile ahead go two priests carrving a glittering box tour feet long and tn o f eet wide. It is the ark of the covenant And they come down, and no sooner do they just touch the nm of the water with their "feet, than by an almightv liir. Jordan parts. The army of Joshua marches light on without getting their feet w er, over the bottom of the river, a path of chalk and broken shells and pebbles, until thev get to the other bank. Then they lay hold of the olcanners and tamarisks and viilovsswd, jicll themselves up a bank 30 or 40 feet high, and hating gained the other bank, theycl.ip their Mucins and their syu.bals. and sing the praise of the God of Joshua. But no sooner Jiave they readied the bank thai the watcis nejrin to nasu and roar, and with a terrific rush they breek loose fioin tLeir strange anchorage. Oct joudcr the have stopped. 3D miles of j di5Xni'C3 Uicy halted. On this side the waters ' roll oil toward tho salt sea. SO "VYAY OI' KETKEAT. But as the hand of the Lord God is taken away from the thus uplifted waters waters perhaps uplifted half a mile as the almighty Imnd is taken awaj. those waters rush down, and some of the unbelieving Israelites sav: Axas, alas, w hat a misfortune! Why could not Ihosc waters have stayed parted? Because perhaps we may want to go hack. O Lord, we are engaged in a risky business. Those Ca naanites may eat us uu. How if w c want to go back? Would it not have necn a more com plete miracle if the Lord had parted the waters To let us come through, and kept them carted to let us go back if we are defeated?" My friends. God makes no provision for a Christian's letreat. He clears the path all the way to Canaan. To go back is iodic. The ame gatekeepeis that swing back the ametlristine and crstallinc gate of the Iordan to let Israel pass through now swing shut the atno-hystine and crystalline gate But this is no place for the host to stop. Joshua gi es the command, "forward, march !" In the distance theie is a long grove of trees, and at the end ol tbegroeisa city. It is a city ol iruors. a city with walls seeming to reach to the h,-uen. to buttress the erytky. It is the great metropolis that rommands the mountain pa&s. It is Jericho. That city was afterward captuied by Pouipcy. and it was aftcrwaid captured by Herod the Great, and it was afterward captured by the Mohammedans; lint this ca .paigit the Lord plans. There shah lie no swords, no shields, no battering rain. There shall ne only one weapon of war, and that a ram's horn The horn ot the slain ram was so.uctime- taken and miles were ptinc tured in it. and then the musician Mould Dut the instrument to Ins lips, and he oald run Irs lingers over this rude musical instrument, ana make a great deal of suect harmony for the people. That was the only kind of weapon. Seven priests were to take these rnde rustic musical instruments, and they were to go around the, city ever day for six days, and then on the seventh day they weic logo around blowing these rude musical instruments seven times.aud then at the close of iheeienth bloMlngof the lams' horns on the seventh day, the peroration of the whole scene was to lie a shout at which those great walls should tumble from capstone to base. The scten priests with the rude musical in struments pass all around the city walls on the first day, and a tailnre. Not so raurh as a Jiiece of plaster broken loose from the wall not f much as a loosened rock, not so much as a piece of mortar lost from its place. There," taiti the unbelieving Israelites, "didn't 1 tell ynuso? Whv, thu.-o ministers are lools. The Idea of going around the city with those mu sical ins'iuments and expecting in that wav to destrov it: Joshua has been spoiled: he thinks because he has overthrown and destroyed tho spnug fresnet, he can overthrow the stone wall." THE SEVENTH BAY. Joshua's sto .k was down. The second day, the priests blowing the musical instruments go around the city, and a failure. TLtrd day, and a failure: fourth day, and a failure; fifth day, and a failure: sixth day, and a failure. The seventh day comes, the climacteric day. Joshua :s u,a early in the morning and exam ines me troops, walks all around about, looks at the city wall. The priests stait to make the circuit of the citjC They go all around at once, all around twice, three times, four times, the time, six turns, seven times, anua iauurc. There is oul one more thing to do. and that is to utter a great siiont. I see the lsraelitish army straightening themselves uu, filling their lungs for a vociferation such as was neer heaul before and never heard after. Joshua feels that the hour has came, and he cries out toh-shost: -Shout; for the Lord hath given jouthcrit!" All the people begin to crj: Doau. Jer.cho. down Jericho!" ana the long line of solid masonry begins to quiver aud to move and to rock. Stand from under! She falls! Crasii! go the walls, the temples, the towers, the palaces; the air blackened with the dust. The buzz, of the victorious Israelites and tho groan of the conquered Canaanites commingle, and Jo- uua, standing there in the debris ot the w.li, hears a voice saying: "There shathnut anv man tie able to stand before thee all .the dai s o$ .tiy 1 i f c" Jpn'.y ore house spired. Who lives thcrcT jjnnie gloat king? No. Some woman distln Jfcuishcd lorgrc.it kindly deeds? No. She had "bfcen conspicuous for her crimes. It is Hie house of Habab. Why was her house sparid? Because she liatl been a great sinner? No, but because she repented, dtmoustratlng to all tho ages that there is mcrcv for the chief of sinners. The red coidofdivinc injunction reaching from her window to ihe ground, so that when the people saw that red cord thev knew it was the divine indication they shonld not disturb the premi-cs; making us think of the divine cord ot a Savior s delivcraice, the red cord of a Savior's kindness, the red cord of a Savior's mercy, the red cord of onr rescue. Merer for ibe chief of sinners. Putb-nur trust in that God. and no damage shall liefall you. When our world shall be inoro tetnhly surrounded than was Jericho even by theJ trumpets of the judgment day, and the hills and tho mountains, the metal bones ana ribs of nature, shall break, they who have had Kahab's faith shall bavo Rahab's deliverance. roirwAKD, march! But this is no place for the 'host of Joshua to stop. "Forward, march!" cries' Joshua to the troops. There is the city of Gibeoh. It has put itself under the protection of Joshua. They send word. "There are flvo kings after us; they are going to destroy us; senTl troops Quick; send us help right away." Joshua has a three-days' march moro than double quick. On the morn ing of the third day he is before the enemy. Thero are two long lines of battle- The battle opens with great slaughter, but the Canaanites soon discover sometning. They say, "l'hat :s Joshua; that is tho man .who conquered the spring freshet and knocked down the stone wall and destroyed the city of Ai. There is no use fighting." And thev sound a retreat, and as they began to retreat, Joshua and his host spring upon them like a panther, pursuing them over the rocks, and as these Canaanites with sprained ankles and gashed forheads re treat, tho catapults of the sky pour a volley of hailstones Into the valley, and all the artillery of the heavens with bullets of Iron, pound the Canaanites against the ledges of Bcth-horon. "Oh!" says Joshua, "this is surely a victory." j'Butdnou not see the sun is going down?" Those Amontcs are going to getaway alter all, and then they will come up some other time and bother us, and perhaps destroy us." See, the sun is going aown. un, tor a longer uay uiau has ever been seen in this climate! What is tlicmatter with Joshua? Has ho fallen In an apoplectic fit? No. He is in prayer. Look out when a good man makes the Lord his ally. Joshua raises his face, radiant with prayer, and looks at the descending san over Gibeon and at the faint crescent oF the moon, for you know the queen of tho night sometimes will linger around the palaces ot the day. Pointing one hand at the descending sun and the other band at the taint crescent of the moon, in tbo name of that God who shaped tbo worlds and moves tho world, he cries: "San, stand thou still upon Gibe on; and thou, moon, m the valley of Ajalon." They halted. Whether It was by re fraction of the sun's rays, or by the stopping of tho whole planetary system, I do not know, and do not care. I leave it. to the Christian scientists and the infidel scientists to settle that nuestion. while I tell vou I have seen Ihe same I thing. "What!" say you, "not the sun stand ! ing still?" Yes. The same miracle is per formed nowadavs. The wicked do not live nut half their day, and the sun sets at noon. But let a man start out in battle for God and tho tiuth, and against sin, and the day of his u-efulncss Is prolonged and prolonged and pro longed. SOME MORE MODERN INSTANCES. John Summertield was a consumptive Meth odist. He looked fearfully white, I am told, as he stood in old Sands Street Church, in Brook lyn, preaching Christ, andwbenbe stood on the anniversary platform in New York, pleading for the Bible until unusual and unknown glories rolled forth from tbat'book. When he was dying his pillow was brushed with the wings of the angel from the skies, the messen ger that God seut down. Did Jonn Summer field's sun set? Did John Summerfield's day end? Oh! no. He lives on in his burning utter ances in behalf of the Christian Church. Robert McChevne was a consumptive Pres byterian. It was said when he preached he coughed so i: seemed as if he would never preach again. His name is fragrant in all Christendom, that name mightier to-day than was ever his living presence. He lived to preach the gospel in Aberdeen, Edinburgh and. Dundee, but he went away very early. He preached himself into the crave. Has ftobert McChcyne's sun set? Is Robert McCheyne's day ended? Oh, no! His dying delirium was filled with prayer, and when he lifted his hand to pronounce the benediction upon bis family, and the benediction upon his country he seemed to say: "I cannot die now; I want to live on and on. I want to start an influence for the Church that will never cease. I am only :0 yeais of age. Sun of mv Christian min istry stand still over Scotland." And it stood still. A long time ago there was a Christian woman very consecrated, and she had a drunken hus band, and so on came the night ot domestic troubh-. She lost her children, and there came the night or bereavement She was verv ill, and there came the night of sickness. Her son' departed, and there came the night of death. But all these nights of trouble, and darkness, and sorrow, and sickness were illu minated by the grace of the gospel; and people came for many miles to see "how cheerfully a Christian could be sick and howt cheerfully a Christian could die. The moon that illu minated that night of trouble was a reflection from tho ;Son of Righteousness. In the last hour of that night fiat night of darkness and sickness and misfortune, as she lifted her bana toward heaven, those who stood nearest her pillow could hear the whisper for she wanted to live on in the generations that were to fol low, consecrated to God: she wanted to have an influence long after she had entered upon her eternal reward, and while her hand was lifted aud her lips were moving, those who stood nearest her pillow conld hear her say. "Thou moon stand still in tho Valley of Ajalon." f " THE FINAL CIIANGE. Bat it is time forTpshua to go home. He xs 110 years old. Washington went down the Potomac and at Moun. Vernon closed his days. Wollington died peacefully at Apsley House. Now, where shall Joshua rest ? Why, he is to have hit greatest battle now. After 110 years he has to meet a kinj; who has more subjects than all the piescnt population of the earth, his throne a pyramid of sknlls. his parterre tho graveyards am! the cemeteries of the world, his chariot tho world's hearse the King of Terrors. But if this is Joshua's greatest battle, it is go ing to be Joshua's greatest victory He gathers his friends around him and gives his valedic tory, and it is full of reminiscence. Young men tell what they arc going to do; old men tell what they have done. And as you have heard a grandfather, or great-grandfather, seated by the evening lire, tell of Monmouth or Y'orktown, and then lift the crutch or staff as though it were a musket, tolif.hr, anu show bow the old battles were won so Joshua gathers his friends around his dy ing coucli aud he tells them the story of what he has been through, and as Jhe lies there, his white locks snowing down on his wrinkled fore head, I wonder if God has kept his promise all i the way through. As ho lies there lie tells tne story one, two, or three times you have heard oiu people ten a story two or three times over and he answers: "1 go the way of all the earth, and not one word of the promise has failed, not one word thereof has failed: all has come to pas. not one word thereof has failed." And then he turns to his 4... .11.. ... ., !.... ... . ...Ill 1 i .ailing, M ., uiii jiaiuov hiii, iuu sa&; "Choose now whom yonwill serve, the God of ' Israel, or tho god of the Amoiites.

"' ' J WEATHER AND TRADE flurlfnl arfd Helpful Effects of the Snow Blockade OS LEADIKG JOBBING INDUSTKIEF. Goou Dopes of Great Activity for Christ mas Week's Trade. THE AIDE JIAI.'EET STILL SLUGGISH OFFICE OF PITTSBURG DISPATCH, I Saturday. Dec 2a ( Trade Bevlew. About one-half of the week past has been almost lost to general jobbing trade, owing to the snow blockade. At the produce com mission houses and Grain Exchange trans actions were very light. Cereal markets have been very dull, with a downward tendency. Corn, oats and flour are quoted lower than at the beginning of the week, and are quiet at the decline. Money ap pears to be the most valuable commodity and the difficulty ol securing it proves the weak factor of trade. Retail dealers are inclined to buy sparingly on declining markets and in view' of the financial stringency. Our markets are well stocked with flour, grain and hay, but the jobber and shipper aro made to carry tho greatest part of the burden at this time of drooping prices. In produce lines there has beenno essential chance durinz the week. Commission men are not carrying large stocks, for the reason of railroad block ades. There Is plenty on the way, and.tio doubt, Christmas week will be one of sufficient activity to compensate for the quietness of the past week. Uuttcr and eggs have apparently reached their top price for this season. Price of eggs has declined in Southern markets with in a lew days, and unless prevented by severe weather the decline should reach us the coin ins; week. Country butter is in growing de mand, at the expense of the imitations. Ono departmentof trade has benefited greatly by the snowstorm, namely, the trade in rubber coods. At one of the leading shoe houses of the city it was learned that all hands had been pressed into tho rubber service'and that moro goods had been old in this line than any previous week in the history of the trade. For two winters past larco stocks were necessarily car ried over by tbe factories and jobbers because of light demand. No fear of accumulated stock now exists. Factories are running full force. iJVhile there is uo trouble so far meeting orders, a few more such storms as the late one would tax tho capacity of the manufacturer. The salt industry is also one that has reaped extra benefits from the late snow storm. On Thursdav six teams were employed delivering salt to the street and cable car companies of tho two cities tube used in salting the tracks. .Each of these teams'carried 100 bushels of salt, and so, many thousand bushels were mixed with tne snow along tho various lines. The salt car and sweeper car have bad moro work this week than for a half dozeu years at least. In making transit to the suburbs pos sible. As this is the season of the year when salt is in greatest demand, manufacturers here had an extraordinary demand for their pro. uuct and have, tncrefore, no complaint to make of the storm. Hides Still Quiet. Steer hides continue in the same quiet con dition as reported last week. Tanners are only buying for Immediate wants owing to tightness of money and the near approach of annual set tlement time. Buff hides are also, unchanged, but slow. Large quantities are held in the country by butchers aud dealers who are unwilling to ac cept present prices. A nutnber,of our large dealers have called in their buyers for the reason that they prefer to carry light stocks until after tbe turn of the year. The present is always a slack time in the hide trade and this season it is more than usually quiet owing to the preciousness of money. Following are prices paid by tanners and hide dealers for stock delivered here. We quote you the following prices on stock delivered here: o.

A Favorable Bank Statement Has a Good Effect on a Dull Share Market Gold Importations Will Boom the Next Statement. New Yoek, Dec. 20. The stock market to day was intensely dull and heavy throughout the session. Before the close, however, thero was more strength displayed, especially after the publication of tbe bank statement, which was tbo best one mado for a long time. The gold received on Wednesday counted for only three days in the averages, hut, nevertheless, the surplus reserve shows an increase of 53,831, (XX) and is left at over S1.UOO,COO. There w as also an increase in the specie held of S1.13U.7O0, and, as the statement was made upon risingaverages, tbe actual condition of the banks is, in all proba bility, much better than was shown by the statement. In addition, nearly S3,O0G,00O more of gold arrived this morning, aud will be a factor iu next week's statement. The statement, how ever, undoubtedly reflects a return of a portion of the locked-up money, and for additional evi dence upon this may be mentioned the ease in the money market of late, together with the fact that EO many time loans have been made during the past week that nearly every house having suitable securities has been able to secure all tbe time money wanted, and to-day many brokers called upon first-class houses and offered six mouths' money at 6 per cent. Many of tbe institutions which have been en. gaged in locking up their funds are now trying to make long loans before tbe January dis bursements, as tbe payments at that time aro estimated at about 120,000,000. Home of this money must find its way into Wall street in the purchase ot bonds and, dividend-paying stocks. The market to-day was almost entirely pro fessional, ana the movements in tbe great ma jority of the list were without signiflcacce. Tbe weakness in the early trading resulted in fractional losses in many stocks, among which Lackawanna was most prominent, but at tho samo time Sugar was especially strong, and the only downward movement of importance was in Silver Certificates, which fell away 1 per cent from last evening's figure. After the publication of the statement, how ever, the reaction which had begun before made marked advances in all except a few un important instances. The early losses were not only regained, but something in addition. Lackawanna and Louisvi le each rose 1 per cent, and the entire list was left at small frac tions better than last evening. Sugar, how ever, shows a gain of 1 per cent. The following tatiie snows tne prices or active stocks on the ew York stock Exchange yester day.
