Rev. Dr. Talmage Talks of Peans of
Praise for fhe Victories of Peace.
The Triumphs of Husbandry Conquest ol
tht Pen.
Wartuhoton, D. C Thl discourse of
Dr. Talmage is a national congratulation
over the achievement of brain and hand
during the prist twelve months. The
text are: I Corinthian ix, 10, "He that
ploweth hall plow in hope;" Isaiah xli.
7, "He that sniootheth with the hammer;"
Judaea v, 14, "Xhcy that handle the pen
of the writer."
There i a table being spread across the
top of the two great range of mountain
which ridge this continent, a table which
rc.chcs from the Atlantio (o the Pacific
ea. It i the Thnnkngiving table of the
nation. They will come from the East
and th Went and the North and the
South end lit at it. On it are smoking
the products of all lands, birds of every
aviary, cattle from every pasture, fish
from every lake, feathered spoil from
every farm. The fruit basket bend down
under the product plucked from the
peach fields of Maryland, the apple or
chards of Western New York, the ornnge
groves of Florida, the vineyards of Ohio
and the nuts thrashed from New England'
woods. The bread is white from the
wheat field of Illinois and Michigan, the
banqueters are adorned with California
gold, and the tohlo is agleam with Nevada
silver, and the feast is warmed with the
fire grates heaped up with Pennsylvania
cool. The hall is spread with carpets
from Lowell mills, and at night the lirrhta
will flash from bronzed brackets of Phila
delphia manufacture.
Welcome, Thanksgiving Pay! Whatever
we may think of New England theology,
we all like New England Thanksgiving
Day. What means the steady rush to the
depots and the long rail trains darting
their lanterns along the tracks of the Bos
ton end Lowell, the Georgia Central, the
Chicago Great Western, the St. Paul and
Duluth and the Southern railway? Ask
the happy group in the New England
farm house; ask the villagers whose song
of praise in the morning will come over
the Berkshire hills; ask all the plantations
of the Nouth which have adopted the New
England custom of setting apart a day of
thanksgiving. Oh, it i a great day of na
tional festivity! Clap your handSjVe peo
ple, and shout aloud for joy I Through
the organ pipes let there come down the
thunder of a nation's rejoicing! Blow the
cornet! Wave the palm branches! "Oh,
that men would praise the Lord for His
goodness and for His wonderful works to
the children of men!"
for two years and a half this nation has
been celebrating the triumph of sword and
gun and battery. We have sung martial
airs and cheered returning heroes and
sounded the requiem for the slain in bat
tle. Methinks it will be a healthful change
if on this year's Thanksgiving in church
and homestead we celebrate the victories
of the plow, the hammer nnd the pen, for
nothing was done at Santiago or Manila
that was of more importance than that
which in the last year has berje done in
farmer's field and mechanic's shop and
author's study by those who never wore
an epaulet or shot a Spaniard or went a
hundred miles from their own doorsill.
Come up, farmers and mechanics and liter
ary men and get your dues as far as I can
pay them.
Things have marvelously changed. Time
was when the stern edict of governments
forbade religious assemblages. Those who
dared to be so unloyal to their king as to
acknowledge loyalty to the Head of the
universe were punished. Churches aw
fully silent in worship suddenly heard
their doors swung open, and down upon
the church aisle a score of muskets
thumped as the leaders bade them "Ground
arms!" This custom of having the fathers,
the husbands, the sons and brothers at
the entrance qf the pew is a custom which
came down from olden time, when it was
absolutely necessary that the father or
brother should sit ut the end of the church
pew fully armed to defend the helpless
portion of the family. But now howj
changed! Severe penalties are threatened
against any one who shall interrupt relig
ious services, and annually, at the com
mand of the highest official in the United
States, we gather together for thanksgiv
ing and holy worship. To-day 1 would
stir your souls to joyful thanksgiving
while I speak of the mercies of God and in
unconventional way recount the conquests
of the plow, tne hammer and the pen.
Most of the implements of husbandry
have been superseded by modern inven
tions, but the plow has never lost its
reign. It has furrowed its way through
all the ages. Its victories have been waved
by the barley of Palestine, the wheat of
Persia, the flax of Germany, the ricentalks
of China, the rich grasses of Italy. It has
turned up the mammoth of Siberia, the
mastadon of Egypt and the pine groves of
Thessulv. Its iron foot hath marched
where Moses wrote and Homer sang and
Aristotle taught and Alexander mounted
bis war charger. It hath wrung its colter
on Norwegian wilds and ripped out the
stumps of the American forest, pushing
its way through the savannahs of toe Car
olina and trembling in the grasp of the
New Hampshire yeomanry. American
civilization hath kept step with the rattle
of its clevises, and on its beam hath rid'
den thrift and national plenty.
I do not wonder that the Japanese and
the Chinese and the Phoenicians so par
ticularly extolled husbandry or that Cin
cinnati went from the consulship to the
plow or that Noah was a farmer before
he became a shipbuilder or that Elisha was
in the field plowing with twelve yoke of
oxen when the mantle fell on him or that
the Egyptians in their paganism wor
shiped the ox as a tiller of their lands.
To get an appreciation of what the
American plow has accomplished I take
you into the western wilderness. Here in
the dene forest I find a collection of In
dian wigwam. With belts of wampum
the men lar.i)y sit on the kin of deer,
smoking their feathered calumets, or, driv
en forth by hunger, I track their mocca
ins far away as they make the forest
echoes crazy with their wild halloo or fish
in the waters of the still lake. Now tribes
challenge and council fires blaze, and war
whoops ring, and chiefs lift the toma
hawks for battle. After awhile wagon
from the Atlantio coast dome to those
forests. By day trees are felled, and by
night bonfires keep off the wolves. Log
cabins rise, and the great trees begin to
throw their branches in the path of the
conquering white man. Farms are cleared.
Stumps, the monuments of slain forests,
crumble and are burned. Villages appear,
with smiths at the bellows, masons on the
wall, carpenters on the housetop. Churches
rise in honor of tho Great Spirit whom
the red men ignorantly worship Steamers
on the lake convey merchandise to her
wharf and carry eat tho uncounted bush
els that have come to the market. Bring
hither wreaths of wheat and crowns of
rve, and let tho mills and the machinery
of barn and field ur ite their voices to cel
ebrate the triumph, for the wildernes
hath retreated and the plow hath con
quered. ' ,
Within our time the Presidential Cabin
et ha adited a Secretaryship of Agricul
ture. Societies are constantly being es
tablished for the education of the plow,
journals devoted to this department are
circulated through, all the country. Farm
ers through such aulture have learned the
attributes of soils uud found out that al
most every field has its peculiar prefer
ences. Lands have their choice as to
which product they will bear. Marshy
lowlands touched by the plow rise and
wring out their wet locks in the trenches.
Islands born down on the coast of Peru
and Bolivia are transported to our fields,
and make our vegetation leap. Highway
by this plow um changed from begy
loughs into roads like the Roman Appiun
way. Fields go through bloodless revolu
tions until there tho farmhouse stands.
In summer honey suckles clamber over th
trellises. On one side there stands a gar
deu, which is only a farm condensed. On
the other side there is a stretch of meadow
luud with thick grass, and as the wind
breathes over it it looks like the deep
green ocean waves. There goes a brook,
tarrying long in its windings, as if loath
to leave the spot where trie reeds sing,
nnd the cattle .turn! at noonday under the
liadow of the weeping willows. In win
ter the sled comes ihi ut,li the ciiuUliiig
snow with huge los from tho wood-, and
the barn floor quakes under the thuinpiiius
of the fl.ul or the nVuicuing bus i! the
ihianhiiig uii-'lmiu. Horses stand benealli
mow poie nenmng unier losos or hay
and whinny to the well filled ont bins.
Comfort laughs nt the wind rattling the
ashes and clicking the icicles from the
eaves.
Praise God for the srent harvests that
have been reaped this Inst year! Some of
them injured by drought or insects or
freshet were not as bountiful as usual,
others far in excess of what have ever be
fore been gathered, while higher prices
will help make up for any decreased sup
ply. Sure sign of agricultural prosperity
we have in the fact that cattle and horses
and sheep and swine and all farm animals
have during the last two years increased
in value. ' Twenty million swine slaught
ered this last year, and yet so many hogs
left.
If the ancient in their festivals present
ed their rejoicings before Ceres, the god
dess of corn and tillage, shall we neglect
to rejoice in the presence of the great
God now? From Atlantic to Pacific let
the American nation celebrate the victories
of the plow.
I come next to speak of tho conquests
of the American hammer. Its iron arm
has fought its way down from tho begin
ning to the present. Under its swing the
city of Enoch rose, and the foundry of
Tubal Cain resounded, and thrfcark floated
on th deluge. At its clang ancient tern-
files spread their magnificence and char
ots rushed out fit for the battle. Its iron
fist smote the marble of Paros, and it rose
in sculptured Minervas and struck tho
Pentclican mines until from them a Par
thenon was reared whiter than a palace
of ice and pure as an angel's dream.
Damascus and Jerusalem and Rome and
Venice and Paris and London and Phila
delphia and New York and Washington
are but the long protracted echoes of the
hammer. Under the hammer everywhere
dwellings hove gone up, ornate and luxu
rious. School houses, lyceums, hospitals
nnd asylums have added additional glory
to the enterprise as well as the bene
ficence of the American pec pie.
Vast public works have been construct
ed, bridges have been built ever rivers
and tunnels dug under mountains and
churches of matchless beauty have gone
up for Him who had not where to lay
His head, and the old theory is exploded
that because Christ was born in a manger
wo must always worship Him in a barn.

As the pen has advanced our colleges
nnd universities nnd observatories have
followed the waving of its plume. Our lit
frature is of two kinds that on foot nnd
that on the wing. By the former I mean
khe firm nnd substantial works which will
go down through the centuries. When, on
the other hand, I speak of literature on
the wing, I mean the newspapers of the
land. They fly swiftly and vanish, but
leave permanent results upon the public
hiind. They fall noiselessly as a snow
flake, but with the strength of an Alpine
glacier.
. This unparalleled multiplication of intel
ligence will either make or break us.
Every morning and evening our telegraph
offices, with huge wire rakes, gather up
the news of the nntion nnd of the whole
world, and men write to some purpose
When they make a pen out of a thunder
bolt. It needs great energy and decision and
perseverance for a man to be ignorant in
this country to-day. It seems to me that
it requires more effort for him to keep out
knowledge than to let it in. The mail
'hags at the smallest postoffices disgorgo
large packages of intelligence for the peo
ple. Academies with maps, globes and
philosophic apparatus have been taking
the places of those institutions where thir
ty or forty years ago you were put to the
torture. Men selected for their qualifica
tions are intrusted with the education of
our youth instead of those teachers who
formerly with a drover's shout and goad
compelled the young generations un the
hill of science: Happy childhood! What
with broken tops and torn kites and the
itrial of losing the best marble and stump
ing your foot against a stone and some
body sticking a pin into you to see wheth
er you will jump and examination day,
with four or five wise men looking over
their spectacles to see if vou can parse the
first page in Young's "Night Thoughts"
until verbs and conjunctions and partici
ples and prepositions get into a grand riot.
How things have marvelously changed!
We used to cry because wo had to go to
school. Now children cry if they cannot
co. Many of them can intelligently dis
cuss political topics long before they have
seen a ballot box or, teased by some poetic
muse, can compose articles for the news
papers. Philosophy and astronomy and
chemistry have been so improved that he
must be a genius at dullness who knows
nothing about them.
On one shelf of a poor man's library is
more practical knowledge than in the 400,-
000 volumes of ancient Alexandria, and
education is possible for the most indigent,
and no legislature or congress for the last
fifty years has assembled which has not
had it in rail splitters and farmers and
drover or men who have been accustomed
to toiling with the hand nnd the foot.
Lift up your eyes, O nation of God'
right hand, at the glorious prospects!
Build larger your barns for the harvests;
dig deeper the vats for the spoil of the
vineyards; enlurge the warehouses for the
merchandise; multiply galleries of art for
the nictures and statues. Advance, O na
tion of God' right hand, but remember
that national weaith, if unsanctified, is
sumptuous waste, is moral ruin, is magnifi
cent woe, is splendid rottenness, is gilded
death! Woe to us for the wine vnts if
drunkenness wallows in thein! Woe to us
for the harvests if greed sickles them!
Woe to us for the merchandise if avarice
swallows it! Woe to us for the cities if
misrule walks them! Woe 'to the land if
God defying crime debauches it! Our only
lafety is iu more Bibles, more churches,
more free schools, more good men and
tnore good women, more consecrated print
ing presses, more of the glorious gospel of
Die Son of God, which will yet extirpate
111 wrongs and introduce all blessedness.
But the preachers on Thanksgiving
norning will not detain with long cr

"You conscienceless scampi You stole

"oh old scroundrel, what did you do?"
retorted the new son-in-law. "What did

Curious Railroad Lines.
The world's strangest railways are to
be found principally in India, America,
Switzerland and Ireland. The loup at
"Agony Point," on the Darjceling Rail
way, India, is thought to be the sharpest
curve in the world, while Mount Rigi,
in Switzerland, has no fewer than three
railways to its summit. When the Jung
frau Railway is completed it will be the
most remarkable one in the world. Its
highest station will be 13,668 feet above
sea level. Of American Railways the
strangest is at Cripple Creek, where the
great timber trestle over which the train
has to pass in crossing a chasm is so
curved that the line is made to tip in
wardly, and the sensation is terrible to
the traveler on a fast train.
Sure Cure for Fatigue.
A stalwart Boston laborer, in seeking
work from a farmer, gave the assurance
that he never got tired. The man was
acordingly engaged ; but when the farm
er went to the field where the man had
been put to work he found him lazily
lying on his back beneath a tree.
"Hallo!" cried the farmer, in surprise.
"I thought you told me you never got
tired ?"
"No more I don't !" replied the una
bashed laborer. "But I precious soon
should be. master, if I didn't do a jolly
lot of resting!"

"Thnr's a mtchty lot r tnlkln about farmera 'n thar rights,
'N the wonderful prosperity thet beet gTowIn' Invites.
Tliar's a lienp er foolish crowlD' 'n the "beata" begin ter tbont
n boiler fer the Tariff ter keep free raw augar out I
But I notla thet the beet-protlucln' farms are Tery few,
An' the farmers through the country alnt got much ef It ter dew.
The bull lnnd alnt a-ralsln' beeta. 'n alnt goln ter begin.
Beet growlu's right fer sum, 1 guess but, wbar dew I cum In S
The farmer gits four dollars now fer ererjr ton o' beets
A bandaoin price, I muat allow but hldln' turn deceits.
Beet augnr mnnyfactcrera admit e they her found
Thet "grnnyloted" coats 'era sumthln' like tew cents a pound.
In fnct thet Iruvea a profit on which they'd greatly thrive
. And If It kin be sold fer three, why should we pay 'em FIVB1
It Bveina ter me es tbct'a a game thet's mighty like a skin
But If tbur's uay benefit waal, wbar dew I cum In J
When Uiide Snm's In want o' cash we're glad ter hetp Wnr oat,
N we'll Htiind nil the taxes thet are needed, never doubt.
But when bis pocket-book's well lined an' nary cent he lacks,
Kt ecenis tur nie bla duty's ter repeal thet sugar tax.
Thcra fellers wot In Interested aea Its to protect
The beet-producln' fnrmer thet the duty they collect.
But I guess thet explanation es a little bit too thin
The sugnr maker, he's all right; but wbar dew we cum in I
-
Take off raw sugnr duty an' the price will quietly fall,
To everybody's benefit, fer sugar's used by oil.
Tho poor will bless the Government thet placed It in thar reach)
('u millions of our citizens free sugnr now beseech)
The dealer 'II be delighted less expenditure fer bim
More demand 'n bigger profits which at present ore but slim.
An' the farmer '11 be as well paid as he ever yet beg ben
But he'll buy his sugar cheaper thet's whar he on' I'll cum In. .
Now, wbor's the sense er reason of the sugar tax to-day,
When our trcusury's a-bulgln' on' we bev no debts ter pay 1
The duty ou raw sugar's Fifty million every year
An' the people's got ter pay It thet's a fact thet's very clear.
Fifty million I Ureot Jerusba I Ter protect beet magnates, too,
Why should they tnx ALL the people Just ter help a scattered FEW X
And the FEW ? Beet-sugar MAKKUS I Don't It really seem a sia
Thus ter help an till thar coffers 1 Whor dew you an' I cum in I
The farmer frrowln' beets bes got a contract price fer yenrs
Free raw sugar wouldn't hurt him, on' of it he hes no fears. - -
But mebbe. like myself he's also growing fruit so nice ;
Ter preserve It nt a profit he needs sugar nt a price I Ji-
The repealing of the duty, surely cuts the price in two J
Thct'U make a mighty difference, neighbor, both ter me an' you I
Let the sugar manyfacterer make such profits as he kin ' ( '
Ter him It way seem right enuff but whur dew I cum In ?
An' I nlnt ngolu' ter swoller nil the nrgyments they shout
Thet the farmers need protection an' must bar raw sugar out.
Common sense la plainly showln' that the people In the laud
Wnnt raw sugar free in future on' Its freedom will demand.
'Tis a tax no longer needed hateful to the public view,
Taxing millions of our people to enrich a favored few.
They can't blind me any longer with the foolish yarns they spin,
While they're busy making money whar dew you an' I come in J
I'm ngoln' ter keep on hustlin', tnlkln', pleadln with my frends.-.
Alnt no sense in lettln' others gain thnr selfish privet ends.
I'm ngoln' ter write termorrer to my Congressman 'nd sny
Thet he oughter do his best ter kill that tnx without delay I
Feller-farmers, do your utmost whether you grow beets or not !
To repeal the tax on sugnr you can but improve your lot I
Cheaper sugar helps your pocket, greater blessings you can win 1
When we've three-cent granylated that's whor you an I cum in r .
