TALMaGL'S
Dr. Talmage's text was tateu from
Exidus ix, 13, M: "Let my people go
that they may serve me; for I will at
this time sen i all my plagues."
Last winter in tbe museums at Carlo.
Egypt, I saw the mummy or embalmed
body of 1'haroh, the oppressor of the
anciert Israelite?. Visible are the very
teeth that he gnashed against the Isra
elitish bric'c makers, the sockets of the
mwlt-ss eyes with which he looked
ipoii ihe overburdened people of Cod,
Jie hair that floated in the breeze oft
..be Red sea, the very lips with which
he commanded them to nake bricks
without straw. Thousands of years
after, when the wrappings of the mum.
my were unrolled, old Pliaroh lifted up
his arms as if in imploration, but his
skinny bones cannot again clutch his
shattered sceptre. It was to compe
that tyrant to let the op?re$sel go free
that the memorable ten plagues were
sent Sailing the Nile and walking
amid the ruins of Egyptian cities. 1
taw no remains of those plagues that
mote the water or the air. None of
the frogs croaked in the one, none of
the locusts sounded their rattle in the
other, and the cattle bore no sign of the
murrain, and through tbe starry nishts
hovering about the pyramids no des
troying angel swept liis wing, But
there are ten plagues still slinging and
befouling ani cursing our cities and
like angels of wrath smiting not only
the first born but the Uvt born.

will, as the years go by, become more
emphatically true. The average con
dition of public morals in this cluster
of cities is as good if not better than in
any other part of the world. Pride of

they live or have lived in a metrpolis
noted for dignity or prowess. Cassar

It is estimated that every day in
Christendom $30,000,000 pass from
hand to hand through gambling prac
tices, and every year in Christendom
$123,100,000,000 change hands in that
way. There are in this cluster of cities
about 900 confessed gambling estab
lishments. There are about 3,500 pro
fessional gamblers. Out of the 800
gambling establishments, how many of
them do you suppose profess to be hon
est ? Ten. Those ten professing to be
honest because they are merely the
ante-chamber to the 790 that are ac
knowledged fraudulent There are
first-class gambling establishments.
You go up the marble stairs. You
ring the belL The livered servant in
troduces you. The walls are lavender
tinted. The mantels are of Vermont
marble. The pictures are "Jephthah's
Daughter," and Dore's "Dante's ani
Virgil's Frozen Region of Hell," a
most appropriate selection, this last,
for the place. There is the roulette
table, the finest, the costliest, tbe most
exquisite piece of furniture in the
United States. There is the banquet
ing room, where, tree of charge to the
guests, you may find the plate and
viands, and wines and cigars sumptu
ous beyond parallel.
Then you come to the second-class
gambling establishment To it you
are introduced by a card through some
ropesin." Having entered, you must
either gamble or fight Sanded cards,
dice loaded with quicksilver, poor
drinks, will soon help you to get rid of
all your money to a tune in short me

"Exchange;" a most appropriate title
for the door, for there, in that room, a
man exchanges health, peace and
heaven, for loss of health, loss of home,
loss of family, loss of immortal soul.
Exchange sure enough and infinite
enough.
Men wishing to gamble will find
places just suited to their capacity, not
only in the underground oyster cellar
or at the table back of the curtains,
card covered but in glided parlors and
gorgeous surroundings.
This crime is getting its lever under
many a mercantile bouse in our great
cities, and before long down will come
the great establishment, crushing repu
tat.ou, home, comfort and immortal
sou s. .
Do the winds that come to kiss the
faded cheek of sickness, and to cool (he
heated bro.vof the laborer, whisper
hope and cheer to the emaciated victim
of the game of hazard ? When an hon
est man is in trouble, he has sympathy.
"Poor fellow!" they say. But do gam
biers come to weep at the agonies of
the gambler? In Northmberland was
one of the finest estates in England.
Mr. Porter owned it, and in a year
gambled it alt away. Having lost the
last acre of the estate, he came down
from the saloon and got into his car
riage: went back; put up his horses
and carriage and town house, and
played. He threw and lost He started
borne, and in a side alley met a friend
from whom he borrowed ten guineas;
went back to tbe saloon and before a
great while had won 20,000. He died
at last a beggar in St Giles. How
many gamblers felt son? for Mr. For
ter? Who consoled him on the loss of
his estate? What gambler subscribed
to put a stone over the poor man's
grave? Not one!
Gambling, with its greedy hand, has
snatched away the widow's mite and
the portion of tbe orphans; has sold
daughter's virtue to get the means to
continue the game; has written the
counterteit signature, emptied the
tanker's money vault and wielded the
assassin's dagger. These is no depth
of meanness to which it will not stoop.
There is no cruelty at which it is ap
palled. There is no warning of God
that it will not dare. Merciless, unap
peasable, fiercer and wilder it blinds, it
hardens, it reads, it blasts, it crushes, it
damns. It has peopled our prisons ani
lunatic asylums. How many railroad
agents and cashiers and trustees of
funds it has driven to disgrace, in
carceratioi and suicide? Witness
years ago a cashier of a railroad who
stole 9103,000 to carry on his gambling
practices. Witness aoXM stolen from
a Brooklyn bank within the memory of
many of you, and tho 198,000 taken
from a Wall street insurance company
for the same purpose! These are only
illustrations on a large seals of tbe rob
beries every day committed for the
purpose of carrying oat tbe designs of
gamblers. Hundreds of thousands of

home, however bri lit, can keep back
the gambler. The sweet call of love
bounds back from his iron soul and all
endearments are consumed in the llanie
of his passion. The family Bible will

A young man in London on coming of
age received a fortune of $120,000, and
through gambling, in three years was
thrown on his mother for support. An
only son went to a southern city; he
was rich, intellectual and elegant in
manners. His pareuts gave him on
his departure from home their last

him. They Battered him. They lured
him to the gambling table and let him
win almost every time for a good while,

"first-rate player." But, lully in their
grasp, they fleeced him; and his $3O,OU0
were lost Lust of all he put up his
watch and lost that Then he began
to think of his home, and his old father
and mother and wrote thus:

On one of the cross seats in a Sixth
avenue elevated car early one morning
sat a little girl about 10 years old. She
carried her bit of lunch wrapped up in
a newspaper, bbe was svidently era
pleyed down in one of the big shops.
At the moment the reporter's eves
fell upon her her eyes were big with
amazement and delight Bhe seemed
in a very seventh heaven of bliss. A
picture book lay opm in her lap, de
picting in huge type and high colors
the old, old story of Cinderalla. There
were stacks of just such books in the
shop where she worked, and her eye
may have fallen upon them and recog
nized them somewhat as part of the
landmarks of her daily drudgery. But
this one had been given her for her very
own, and she treasured it as though ita
value were a hundred times its weight
in gold.
Between One Hundred snd Fourth
street and the Eighteenth street station
she read the entire story three times,
and at each reading she seemed to en
joy it more hugely than before. She
had j ust begun for the fourth time
when a ten, good natured looking young
woman, who was holding on to on nt
tbe straps, nodded her head to her and
shouted out, "Hullo, Cash!"
A moment later the guard shouts
out "Fourteenth street!" The rhiiH
shut her book up quickly and tucked It
inside her jacket Then she and ih.
