IcrrciAL telegkam to TnE mspATcn.
Brooklyn, May a Dr. Talmage took
for Ills subject to-day the character of
PanieL His text 11 as Daniel vL, 2: "Dan
iel was first."
Where in romance can you And anything
equal lo -what Daniel was in realty? A
yonn man. far away from home, intro
duced into the most magnificent and most
disoluto palico of all the earth. The king,
xvUhln;r to make this young man a prodiqy
in personal appearance, orders his attend
ants to see that he has plenty of meat
and wine, and Daniel refuses these delici
cies and insit on a ve;etablo diet, refusms
everything but pulse and ivater, waving
hack all the rich viands with a determined,
"Xo; 1 thank you."
He ui passes all the princes in brilliancy.
As this son rises higher and higher in the
flrmaincnt.it puts out all the stars, and if
there is anything the stars hate it is the
sun. Daniel becomes so much of a favorite
with King Darius that our young hero is
promoted to be Prime Minister or Secretary
of State the Freiinghnyen or the Bismarck
of the ancients. But no man ever attained
such high position without exciting the envy
of others.
The meanest and wrathiest passion or the
sonl I jealousy. You see it among all pro
fessions and occupations. I am sorry to say
yon see as uracil among clergymen as among
other classes of men.
1hr Kniions lcmagognes of Babylon.
It is a passion bittcrasliellandit is imme
diately recognized, and yet though it black
ens the man who indulges in it, men will
kindle this fire which consumes only them
selves. There were demagogues in Babylon,
wlio, highly appreciative of their own
capacity, donbted tho policy or elevating
such a young man as Daniel. They said:
"Whj we know more than he does. Wecould
manage tho public affairs better than he can
manase them. The idea of putting Dan in
such a place as that." Old Babylon was
afraid of young Babylon. Thev began to
plot his nun.
He was an illustrious target. The taller
the cedar the more apt to be struck with
the lightning. These demagogues asked
Darius to make an unalterable dccieo that
any man who w itiiin 30 davs shall ask a peti
tion ot nnyone eTcopt the King shall be put
to death. Darius, not mistrusting any foul
play, makes such a decree. Tho demagogues
liave accomplished their purpose, for they
k"ew that Daniel would not stop sending up
nctittons to his God, and Daniel, instead of
being affrighted by the decree, went three
times a d:iv to his house-top for prayer. Ho
is cau?lit in the act. He is condemned to bo
devoured by the lions. Such a healthy
young man will bo for the leonine monarchs
the best banquet they ever had. By tho
rough executioners of the law he is hurried
away toward the den.
I hear the gron 1 of the monsters, and their
pawing of the dust, and a their month is
placed to the giounrt the solid earth quakes
with their bellow. The door is removed and
Daniel shoved into the den, which was all
agleam with fierv eyeballs that seem to roll
and nap in the caverns. They approach
the defenceless man. Their appetite was
s-harp with hunger. One stroke of their paw,
one ci orcli of theii teeth and he would have
been lilelcss.
"Ili Nature or tlin Lions Chanced.
How strange a welcome Daniel receives
from the monsters. They fawn about him.
They cover his feet with their long mane.
They are struck with the lock-law. That
night Daniel's sleep is calm and undis
turbed, w ith his head pillowed on the waim
neck of tho tamed lions. But King Darius
u-n- not so hapnv. lie loved Daniel and he
hired the stratagem bv-which his favorite
liad been condemned. Ho naces his floornll
night. He -anuor slcp. At the least sound
he starts and his flesh creeps with horror. A
bad conscience ill make the bravest man a
coward.
He watches caseily for the dawn, which
seems so long in tarrying. At the first
streak or light, he 'tarts out to find the fate
of D.uiiel. The palace gate opens and jars
heavily behind him while vet the city Is
alecp. He comes to the den. He looks
through the crevices but sees nothing. He
dare not speak. Expecting the worst, his
heart stoiis. Gathering strength he puts Ms
mouth to the rifts tn the lock and cries;
"Oh Daniel, is thy God whom tlion servest
continually able to deliver thee from the
lions?" An anser conies rolling up out of
the deep darkness; "Oh, King, live forever.
3Iy(;d hath sent his angel and hath shut
the lions' mouths, that thev havo not hut t
me." The voung man is brought out and
the demasorucs who made the plot are
thrown in But they hardly stiuck the bot
tom or t 'v den when their flesh jcnt.and
theii Hones cracked, and the blood spurted
through the rifts.
Now, you see from this subject that in tho
eyes of many the greatest offense von can
commit is success of what crime had this
jonng man ber-n gnilty, that he should come
nnder the bitter hatied of the demazogues?
Why, be bad got to be prime minister of
Babylon.
Kny Never Strikes at the Poor Man.
Ec'.iold In this sketch a touch of human
nature. As long as poverty pinches you
and you run the gauntlet between tax
pnthererand landlord, and you have hard
work to educate yourchildren. there will be
multitudes of men to say: "Poor fellow.
He ought to succeed. How sorrv I am for
ijim." But, after awhile, vou begin to
emerge trom the darkness. "That was a. cap
ital investment. You purchased at Just the
rfclit time. Fortune became good-natured
and smiled. Ton builded vour own house.
lougot to be one of the first men on tho
Mrect. Now, as you pass, a number of those
late sympathizers stand on the corner of
thestiect. They scowl at vou from under
the rim of their hats. You have more money
Dow than thev have, and vou ought to be
scowled at Horn under the rim or their hats.
Before on get fully past, you bear a word
or two- "Stuck up," says one. "Didn't get
it iionetlv."' says another. "Will burst
soon.'" says a third. Every stone in vour
new bouse was laid on the'ir heart. Your
lioies" boors went over their net res. Your
carriage tiie cut their neck.
Success is otten a synonym for scorn. The
Jlrst thing si m:.n wants is leligion. The
second is grit. If you do not want to face
wild beasts, you must never get to be piime
minister. It you aie now, as a voung man,
rising in any one respect, I bless God for
youradvancement, but I wish to say berore
I quit this thought, lookout for the lions.
Daniel's Decision of Character.
iRain, behold in our subject an exhibition
of true decision of character. Befoie Daniel
vierc condemnation and death, If he con
tinued faithful to his religion. Yet, Just as
befoie. tnrec times a dav he prayed with his
tacetowatd Jeiusalem. There is nothing
moi e fatal lor the religious or worldly ad
vancement tian a spirit of indecision. How
ottii jouth ij almost gone bclore the in
dividual has detennincd upon his profes
sion There at e those who lor 30 or 0 years have
aet-(,iuiiisiied nothing anvw hero becuusu
l"i have not felt themselves settled. They
iane thought of the law, ot medicine, of
merchandise, or mechanism. They have
!, idea of guing West. Perhaps they will
gu tast Perhaps they w on't.
.! wrote in yo.ir brain and engraved on
youi Im.iios what you ought to bo. Then be
Uiat. nothing mom or nothimr less. In that
directum is your success. Every other road
Isyoui ruin. Harm' adjusted vour com-
pasv go ahead, het your teeth together.
Miiall difficulties do not notice. Great diffi
culti.f, i,y God's grace strike them down.
Onward: I.et cowarus skulk. Act you like
xiiiof i,od. Character, like the goldfinch
o: iniqu:n, is magnificent when standing
nrm but loses all its splendor in flight.
There is no .uch thing as failure to those
nhotru-t in God.
Ajain, let this story or Daniel teach us
that the way to tuture success is through
Jirps.-nt se,,.,eiai 'ot only did Daniol
show his uillingncs for selt-restraiu. by te
rusing the luxuries ot the King's table, hut
must have denied himself much social en
Joiment and sight-seeing in order to havo
attained most wonderful profleiicy in study.
SorcrM lo liirsFrom the LovrrM Itnng.
The most ot those who have succeeded in
any profession or occupation havo como up
from the very bottom or the l.idder. The
brightest day bezan with tho twilight. The
admirals who commanded the navies of the
woild started as cahin boys. The merchant
princes whose messengers are ships and
whose servants tho nation's enstom houses,
once swept the store and kindled the fires.
Out of the dark, deep mines of want and suf
fering has been dug the marble for the
world's greatest temples of wisdom and pal
aces of power.
Show me a man, who, refusing many of
the frivolities of gossiping youths, can see
more to attract his attention in the pages of
a treatise or a history, than in the flush of
bright eyes, or tho airy step of those irho
find nioro skill in their heels than their
heads, and I will kIiow yon a man who will
yet master languages and sway a very scep
ter over his fellows. llany an education
w hich is now considered comnlcto is made
up ota smattering of newspapers and the
last page of a fashion magazine. The parlor
and the drawing loom cannot educate us.
They mar giro us outward adornments of
manner, but getting valuable knowledge is
like sweltering at a forge, bellows in one
hand and hammer in the other like digging
in mines with crowbars, prying under the
ledge amid the constant hang of blasted rock.
Especially is it true that no growth in grace
is possible unless, like Daniol, we are willing
to take up the cross, however heavy it may
be and rough with nails. Passions har
nessed and yoked make excellent beasts of
burden.
Daniel Did Not Need tValchlng.
Again let the story of Daniol teach us the
beauty of that youthful character which re
mains unblemished and upright when awny
from home. Had Daniel, on arriving in
Babylon, plunged into every excess, his
friends in Jerusalem would never have
heard of it. His dissipation and renuncia
tion of religion would not have cast one sor
row on tho family hearth where he had
lived or tho old family Bible which he used
to read. But, although far a way from home,
he knew that God's eye watched him and
that was enough It "is not every young
man who maintains the same character
when abent that was maintained at homo.
Fiederick watching his lather's sheep
among the hills or threshing rye in the barn
is far aiffcrent from Frederick on the Stock
Exchange. How orten does the kind, retir
ing spirit become bold effrontery, and the
accommodating, sclf-saciiflclng deposition
once exhibited among orotners ana sisters,
becomes a cold and unresponsire selfish
ness, and economy, wastefulness, and
opened-handed chatity, tight-fisted stingi
ness, and the keeping of good hours is
changed Into midnight revelry.
Theie is no passage in a man's life of more
thrilling interest than the day in which he
leaves home and goes off to seek his for
tune. The novolty and romance connected
with the departure may keep the yonng
nrai from any poignant sorrow, but parents,
who havo seen tho destruction among
strangeis of those who wera considered
promising youths, cannot help reeling that
this step is full of momentous importance.
Before the youth lett homo all his conduct
was under affectionate guardianship. Out
bursts of folly, carelessness, and impropri
ety of manner, and looseness of speech,
were kindly reproved.
From Guardianship to Independence.
But behold, how the scene changes. The
father, thmiith the Intel ceding of metropol-

some bank or store or office. Schoolmates
on tho night before his departure come to
take their latewoll of tho young adventurer.
That morning he takes a last walk around
the old place, and going past some loved
spot, a sly tear may start, but no one sees it.
The trunk Is on the carriage, and nrter a
warm goodby, away they speed over the
hills.
!ct down amid excitements and among
companions not over-scrupulous as to their
words or deeds, temptations troop around
the stranger. The morning comes, but no
ramily altar, ana the Sabbath, but no real
quiet, and perhaps at the sanctuary the
laces are all strange and no one cares
whether he goes to church or whether he
does not go. Long winter evenings
arrive, and how shall they be spent?
On his way homefiom his place of busi
ness be saw flaming placnrds announcing
rare perfounanccs and that this was posi
tively the last night. At the door of his
cneei less boarding house no one greets him,
and the evening meal is insipid, for no one
cares whether he cats or does not eat. Tho
room in the third storv that evening seems
doleiulaud repelling. A book snatched up
fiom tne stand proves to he dull, for no
sister is there to look over with him. In de
spair ho lushes out reckless as to where he
goes ir only Ijo can see something that will
make him stop thinking That night may
be the turning point in his history. Once
within the fatal circle of sin and the soul
has no power to repel it.
The Contiunal Exodus of Yonng Boo-i.
In many a country churchyard Is now the
grave of some youthful spirit that went
away lithe and bounding, but came home
diseased and crushed and blasted to dis
grace the sepulchre of his fathers. Yet this
exodus must he made. As from far distant
hills, livers find thoir wav through tunnels
to great cities, so trom far distant points of
the country it is necessary that a stream of
uncoiiupled population shall pour into our
gieat thoroughlarcs to keep them pure and
manage the traffic of the world. Multitudes
or such are constantly making their depart
ure tioui home.
'1 he Lord stretch iorth His arm ror the de
liverance of these Daniels away down in
Babylon. Wherever your lot may be cast
in lar inland town or in. some great seaport
maintain in yourab-enco the same princi
ples of morals and religion which may hare
been instilled by parentai solicitude. And,
while you may feel in your henit and life
thendraniagrs of early religious culture,
forget not those to whom you aie chiefly
indebted: and pray that as age comes upon
them and the night of death begins to full on
their pathway, the hope of heaven may
beam th lough the darkness, lustrous and
steady as the crenlng star.

You Need It Now
To Impart strength and to give a feeling of
health and vigor throughout the system,
there Is nothing equal to Hood's Sarsa
parllla. It seems peculiarly adapted to
overcome that tired feeling caused by
change of season, climate or life, and
while it tones and sustains the system it
purifies and renovates tho blood.
We earnestly urge the large army of clerks,
bookkeepers, school teachers, housewives
and all others who havo been closely con
fined during tho winter and who need a
good spring medicine, to try Hood's Sarsa
parilla now.
Hood's
Sarsaparilla
Cures
Where othor preparations fail. Bo sure to get
Hood's Sarsaparilla. It is Peculiar to Itself.
Hood's Pills cure liver ills, constipation,
biliousness, Jaundice, slok headache.
You begin to find out what sort of a shoe
you have bought when you're worn it a lit
tle while. The test of a shoe is the wear it
will give. We call our Foot-Form Shoe a
model. It Is a handsome looking shoe, but
that is by no means all you can say about it.
It is not only handsome looking, but it
keeps its good looks. If you've ever seen
anything cheaper in footwear you've had an
experience that we've never enjoyed the
big in quality and the little in price have
never been more happily comprised. This
happy combination is also found in OUR
CHILDREN'S WEAR-WELLS and OUR
