his -o.-jv.-!-iuiis in live slock. Ife caino
also f a distinguished family and had
cloriou-; Vleh for an ancestor. Ur.t thi.s
descendant was a r.neak. a churl, a tot
and a fool. One instance to illiL-lrate: It
was a wool raising country, and at tho
time r shearing a great fe;t was pre
pared for the f. hearers; and David and
his warriors, who had in other days saved
from destruction th threshing floors of
Nabal, sent to him asking, in tliis time
of plenty, for some broad for their starv
ing men. And Nah.il cried out: '"Who
is Dai !':" As though an Englishman
1 1 n I said, "Who is Wellington?" or a
(iernian should say, "Who is Von
Jh-.hko?" or an American should say,
"Who is V.'a-h'mgtoii'r" Nothing did
Nahal give t the slaring men, and that
night lie: scoundrel lay dead ilnmk at
holi and the Uil.le gives us a full length
picture of him sprawling and maudlin
and helpless.
Now that was the man whom Abigail,
the lovely and g:-u ions and good woman
married a tu'oerose - planted lies'ide a
thistle, a palm hranch twiiml into a
wreath of deadly nightshade. Surely
that wit) not one of tin- matches made in
lira ven. We throw uj our hands in hor
ror at that welding. I low did she ever
consent to liii!-- her destiuhics with such
a creature! Well, .she .. d..uht thought
that it would he it 11 honor to lx associ
ated with an ari.-tocratio boiii!, and no
one can d. -pise a gsc-at name. ISesides
this, wealth would come anTl with it
chains of g"ld and mansions lighted by
swinging lamps of aromatic oil, and re
sounding with the cheer of banepieten
seated at tables laden with wines from
the richest iiieyards, and fruits from
lijx'st orchard-;, and nuts th rushed from
foreign woods, and meats smoking in
platters of gold, set on by slaves in
bright uniforms. Hefora she plighted
her troth with this dissipated man she
liometiine-; said to her.-;elf: "I low can I
endure him! To 1? associated for life
with such a debauch.? I cannot and will
not!" Hut then again she said to her
self: "It is time 1 was marriitl, and
this is a cold world to depend on, and
H-rhajsI might do wor.-e, and may.be I
wiil make a sober m m cut of him, and
marriage is a lottery anyhow." And
when one day this 1 representative of a
preat hou .e pi eeii'.ed himself in a paren
thesis of sobriety, and with an assumed
geniality and gallantry of manner, and
with promi-es of fidelity and kindness
and self abnegation, a June morning
smiled on a March squall, and the great
souhtl women surrendered her happiness
to the kee:.-i:ig of this infamous son of
fortune whose possessions were in Car
mel: and the man wa; very great, and
he had three thousand sheep and a
thous.m 1 goals.
Ik!'iId here a domcr-lSc tragedy re
peated every hour of every day all over
Ch'.'i. ter.dom marriage for worldly suc
cess without regard to character. So
Marie Jeanne rhlipon, the daughter of
the humble engraver of Paris, Iwcanie
the famous Mine. Upland of history, the
vivacious and brilliant girl united with
the cold, formal, monotonous man be
cause hi came of an abluent family of
Amiens and had lordly blood in his veins.
The d iy when, through political revolu
tion, this patriotic woman was led to the
scaffold, around which lay piles of
human heads that had fallen from the
ax, and she ?aid to an aged man whom
she had confronted as they ascended the
scaffold: "th first that you may not
witness my death," and then undaunted
took her turn to die that day was to
her only the last act of a tragedy of
which Ut uncongenial marriage day was
the first.
Good and genial character in a man,
the very first requisite for a woman's
happy marriage. Mistake me not as
depreciative of worldly prosjierities.
There is a religious cant that would
seem to represent iverty as a virtue and
wealth as a crime. I can take you
through a thousand mansions where
CJod as much worshiped as he ever
was in a cabin. The tio?pel ineulcatw
the virtues which tend toward wealth.
In the millennium we will all dwell in
palaces and ride in chariots and sit tit
sumptuous banquets and sleep under rich
embroideries imd live iOO or oOO years,
for, if aeet rding to the Biblo in thos-3
times, a child shall die 101 years old, tho
average of human life will lie si least live
centuries. The whole tendency of sin is
toward poverty and the whole tendency of
right; 'ousuess is u.w:ird wealth. Godli
ness is profitable fur the life that now is
as well as for that which is to come. No
inventory can le mad- of the picture
-galleries to!i.-ecrab'd to God, and of
sculpturr and ! libraries find pillared
lliagni!ii.e:i'V and "f park's and fountains
and gardens in tlu; ownersiiip of gor4
inen and women. Ti.c tvro mot lordly
rcsidcniTo i" which I was ever a guest
jiad morning and evening prayers,
fill ihrj tiiiloy.-s pi-esor.t, and all
day long theie "was an air of cheerful
pktv in the coiverss.tion and lehavior.
Lord IJadsfor k carried the (hisjicl to the
Russian nobility, Iinl C'fivan and Jxrd
Cairns spent their vacation in evangclistio
services. Lord Cong let on ltcame mis
sionary to D;:glad. And the Christ who
was born in an eastern caravansary has
again and again lived in a palace.
It is a grand thing to have plenty cf
of monev, and horses that don't couiiel
jou to take the dust cf every lumbering
and lazy rehlcle; and books of history
that give you a glimpse of all the past;
and shelves of oetry to which you may
go and ask Milton or Tennyson or Sjen
cer or Tom Moore or Robert Burns to
stop now and spend an evening with
you. and other shelves' to wh ten you may
go -while you feci disgusted with tho
shame of the woild, and ask Thackeray
to express your chagrin, or Charles
Dickens to express the Pecksniflianisiu,
or Thomas Carlj le to thunder jour in
dignation; or the other shelves where
the old gospel writers stand ready to
warn and cheer us while they open doors
into that city which is so bright tho
noonday sun is abolished. There
is no virtue in owning a horse
that takes four minutes to go a
mile, if 5011 can own one that can
go in a little over two minutes and a
half; no virtue in running into the teeth
of a northeast wind with thin apparel, if
you can .afford furs; no virtue in being
poor when you can honestly Ix? rich.
There arc names of men and women
that I have only to mention, and they
suggest not only wealth, but religion and
generosity and philanthropy, such as
Amos Iawrence, James Lennox, Pete.r
Cooiert William E. Dodge, Shaftesbury,
Miss Wolfe and Mrs. Astor. A recent
writer says that of fifty leading business
men in one of our Eastern cities, and of
the fifty leading business men of one of
our Western cities, three fourths of them
arc Christians. The fact is, that about all
the brain and the business genius is on
the side of religion. Infidelity is incipient
insanity. All infidels are cranks. Many
of them talk brightly, but you soon find
that in their mental machinery there is a
screw loose. When they are not lecturing
against Christianity they are sitting in
barrooms squirting tobacco juice, and
when they get mad swear till the place
is sulphurous. They only talk to keep
their courage up, and at best will feel
like the infidel who begged to be buried
with his Christian wife and daughter,
and when asked why he wanted such
burial replied: "If there be a resurrec
tion of the good, as some folks say there
will lo, my Christian wife and daughter
will somehow get me up and take me
along with them."
Man may pretend to despise religion,
but they are rank hyprccritcs. The sea
captain was right when ho came up to
the village on the sea coast and insisted
on paying $10 to tho church, although ho
did not attend himself. When asked his
reason, ho said that he had been in the
habit cf carrying cargoes of oysters and
clams from that place, and he found
since that church wa3 built the people
were more honest than they used to be,
for lief ore the church was built he often
found the load, when he came to count
it, a thousand clams short. Yes. God
liness is profitable for lxth worlds. Most
of the great, honest, permanent worldly
successes are by those who reverence
God and the Bible. But what I do say
is, that if a man have nothing but social
jtnsition and financial resources, a woman
who puts her happiness by marriage in
his hand re-enacts the folly of Abigail
w hen she accepted disagreeable Nabal,
"whose jiossessions were in Carmel, and
the man was very great, and he had
three thousand sheep and a thousand
goats."
If there be good moral character ac
companied by affluent circumstances I
cangratulate you. If not, let the morn
ing lark fly clear of the Rocky mountain
eagle. The sacrifice of woman on the
altar of social and financial expectation
is cruel and stupendous. I sketch you a
scene you have more than once wit
nessed. A comfortable homo with noth
ing more than ordinary surroundings, but
an attractive daughter carefully and
Christianly reared. From the outside
world comes in a man with nothing but
money, unless you count profanity and
selfishness and fondness for champagne
and general recklessness as a part of his
possession. He lias his coat collar turned
up when there is no chill in the air, but
because it gives him an air of abandon,
and eyeglass, not becauso lie is near
sighted, but because it gives a classical ap
pearance, and with an attire somewhat
loud, a cane thick enough to be the
club of Hercules and clutched at
the middle, his conversation interlarded
with French phrases inaccurately pro
nounced, and a sweep of manner indicat
ing that he was not bom like most
folks, but terrestrially landed. By arts
learned of the devil he insinuates himself
into the affections of the daughter of a
Christian home. All the kindred con
gratulates her on the almost supernat
ural prospects. Reports come in that the
j-oung man is fast in his habits, that he
has broken several young hearts and that
he i3 mean and selfish and cruel. But
all this is covered up with the fact that
he has several houses in his own name,
and has large deposits at the bank, and,
more than all, has a father worth many
hundred thousand dollars and very feeble
in health and may any day drop off, and
thi.'s the oidy son, and a round dollar
held close to one's eye is large enough to
shut out a great desert, and how much
more will several bushels of dollars shut
out.
The marriage day comes and gora.
The wedding ring was; costly enough and
the orange blossoms fragrant enough and
the lienediction solemn enough and the
wedding march stirring enough. And
the audience shed tears of sympathetic
gladness, supposing tliat the craft con?
taining the tva has sailed off on a placid
lake, although God knows that they are
launched on a Dead sea, its waters brackish
with tears and ghastly with ghastly
faces of despair floating to the surface
and then going down. There they are,
the newly married pair in their new
home, lie turns out to be a tyrant. Her
will is nothing, his will everything.
Lavish of money for hi3 own pleasure,
he begrudges her the pennies lie pinches
put into her trembling pahii." Instead of
the kind" "w"or4l she left behind in
her former home, now there are
complaints and fault findings and
curses. Jle js the. master and she' the
slave. The vvorsj villain on earth is the
man who, having captured a woman
from her father's house ap4 after tho
Qith of the marriage altar has. been pro
nounced, saya, by his luanner if nof. u

Imprisoned in a castle! Her gold
bracelets are the chains of a lifelong
servitude. There is a sword over her
every feast, not like that of Damocles,
staying suspended, but dropping through
her lacerated heart. Her wardrolie is
full of shrouds for deaths which she dies
daily, and she is buried alive though
buried under gorgeous upholstery. There
is one word that sounds under the arches
and rolls along the corridors and weeps
in the falling fountains and echoes in the
shutting of every door ami groans in
every note of stringed ami wind instru
ment: "Woe! Woe!"' Tho oxen and
sheep in olden times brought to the
temple of Jupiter to l,e sacrificed used to
lie covered with rib'00113 and flowers
ribbons on tho horn3 and flowers on the
neck. But the floral and ribboned deco
rations did not make tho stab of the
butcher's knife less deathful, and all the
chandeliers you hang over such a woman,
and all the robes with which you enwrap
her, and all the ribbons with which you
adorn her, and all the bewitching charms
with which you embank her footsteps are
the ribbons and flowers of a horrible
butchery.
As if to show how wretched a good
woman may be in splendid surroundings
we hava two recent illustrations, two
ducal palaces in Great Britain. They are
the focus of the l est things t hat "are
possible in art, in literature, in architec
ture, the accumulation of other estates
until their wealth is beyond calculation
and their grandeur beyond description.
One of the castles has a cabinet set with
gems that cost $2, 500.000, and tho walls
of it bloom with Renibrandts and Claudea
and Poussins and Guidos and Raphael--,
and there are Southdown flocks in sum
mer grazing on its laws and Arab t-tecds
prancing at the doorways on the "first;
open day at tho kennels." From tho
one castle the duchess has removed with
her children because she can no longer
endure the orgies of her husband, the
duke, and in the oil-or castle the duchess
remains confronted by insult-; and abom
inations in the prr senee of w hich I donoL
think God or decent ccijty require-
a good woman to remain. Alas for those
ducal country seats! They on a l;:.rgo
scale illustrate w hat on a smaller scale
may lie seen in many places that wit li
on t moral character in a husband all the
accessories of wealth are to a. wife's sou!
tantalization and mockery. "When Abi
gail finds Nabal, her husband, beastly
drunk, as sho comes home from inter
ceding for his fortune and life, it was tin
alleviation that the old brute had posses
sions in Carmel, and "was very great,
and had three thousand sheep and a
thousand goats," and lie the worst goat
among them. The animal in his nature
seized the soul in its mouth and ran, oil
with it.
Before tilings are right in this world
genteel villians are to be expurgated.
Instead of being welcoilied into rospecM
ble society, because of the amount of
stai's and garters and medals and estates
they represent, they ought to be fumi
gated two or three years lieb-.ro they mv
allowed, without peril o themselves, to
put their hands on the door knob of a.
moral house. The time must come when
a masculine estray will be as repugnant
to good society as a feminine estray, and
no coat of arms or family emblazonry or
epaulet can pass a Lothario unchallenged
among the sanctities of home life. Hy
what law of God or common sense is an
Absalom belter than a Delilah, a Don
Juan better than a Messalina? The b: u. h
that paints the one black must paint the
ether black. But what a epectacJe it
was when last summer much 'of "water
ing place" society went wild with en
thusiasm over an unclean foreign digni
tary, whose name in both hemispheres is
a synonym for profligacy, and princesses
of American society from all parts of the
land had him ride in their carriages r.r.d
sit at their tables, though they knew him
to be a portable lazaretto, a chai ned house
of moral putrefaction, his breath a ty
phoid, his foot that of a Satyr and his
touch death. Here is an evil that men
cannot stop, but women may. Keep all
such out of your parlors, have no recog
nition for them in the street, and no
more think cf allying your life and des
tiny with theirs than "gales from Araby"
would consent to pass the honeymoon
with an Egyptian plague. All that money
or social position a bad man brings to a
woman in marriage is a splendid despair,
a gilded horror, a brilliant agony,
a prolonged death, and the longer
the marital union lasts, the mote evident
will bo tlie fact that she might better
never have been born. Yet you and I
have been at brilliant weddings where,
before the feast wa3 over, the bride
groom's tongue was thick and his eye
glassy and his step a stagger as he clicked
glasses with jolly comrades, all going
with lightning limited express train to
the fatal crash oyer the t-mbankment of
a ruined life and a lost eternity.
Woman, join not your light hand
with 6uch a right hand. Accept from
such an one no jewel for finger or
ear, lest that sparkle of precious t-tone
turn out to lie the eye of a basiiisk, and
let not the ring come on the finger of
-your right hand lest that ring turn out
to lie one link of a chain that shall bbi -.1
you in never ending captivity. in the
name of God .d Leaven and home, in the
name of all time and all eternity I for
bid the lttrins ! Consent not to join one
of the many regiments of women wh
have married for worldly success with
out regard to. moral character.
If you are ambitious, oh woman, for
noble affiancing, why not marry a king?
And to that honor you are invited by ihe.
monarch of heaven and earth, and this
day a voice from the skies sounds forth:
".As the bridegroom rejoiceth over tho
bride so sliall thy God rejoico over th.ee."
Let lum put upon thee the ring of thi
royal marriage. Here is an honor worth
n-aching after. By repentance and faith
ypu may come into a marriage with the
emperor of universal dominion, and you
may be an empress unto God forever,
una reign with him in palaces that, the
renturiea cannot crumble or Cannonades
demolish.
High worldly marriage is not neces
sary for woman or marriage of any kind
in order to your hapjkiness. (Ylihacy

passages in history with which I am ac
quainted, tells us how Cleopatra, the ex
iled queen of Egypt, won tho sympathi' .;
of Julius Ctesar, the co;jueror,
until he br-came the bridegroom
and she tho bride. Driven frr.::
her throne, she mailed away on the Medi
terranean in a storm, and when 1 i 1 .-
large ship anchored she put out with on.:
womanly friend in a small boat until j.he
arrived at Alexandria, where wt- Ciesar.
the great general. Knowing that she
would not be ermitted to land or pass
the guards 011 the way to Cu'sar's palace,
she laid upon the bottom of the boat
some shawls and scarfs and richly dyed
upholstery, and then lay down upon
them, and her friend wrapped her in
them and she was admitted ashore in
this wrapping of goods, which was an
nounced as a present for Ciesar. This
bundle was permitted to pass the guards
cf the gate3 of the palace, and was
put down at the feet of the Roman
general. When the bundle w-as unrolLd
there rose l:cfo:. (.'
age and beauty and brilliancy are the as
tonishment of the ages. This exiled
queen of Egypt told the slory of her sor
rows, and ho promised her that she
should get back her throne in Egypt and
take the throne cf wifely doniinii -i ia
his own heart. Afterward they made a
triumphal tour in a barge that the
pictures of many art galleries have called
4 -Cleopatra's Barge," and that barge was
covered with silken awning, and its tl-
was soft with luxuriant carpets, and tbe
oars were silver lipped, and the prow
wan geld mounted, and the air was redo
lent with the spieery of tropical garden.-;
and resonant with tho music that made
tlia night glad U3 the day. You 1.
