In a reeent sermon delivered at
Brooklyn and Kew York Rev. T. Do
Witt Talmage took his text from Daniel
t. 9fe "In that night was Belshazzar,
the King of the Chaldeans, slain." Dr.
Talmage said:
After the rite of Babylon had been
selected two million of men were em
ployed for the construction of the wall
and principal works. The walls of the
city were sixty miles in circumference.
They were surrounded by a trench, out
of which had been dug" the material for
the construction of the city. There
were twenty-live gates of solid brass
on each side of the square city. Be
tween every two gates a great watch
tower sprang np into the heavens.
From each of the twenty-five gates, on
either side, a street ran straight through
to the gate on the other side, so that
there were fifty streets, each fifteen
miles long, which gave the city an ap
pearance of wonderful regularity.
The houses did not join each
other on the ground, but between
them were gardens and shrubbery.
From house top to house top bridges
swung, over which the inhabitants were
accustomed to pass. A branch of the
Euphrates went through the city, over
which a bridge of marvelous structure
was thrown, and under which a tunnel
ran. To keep the river from overflow
ing the city in times of freshet, a great
lake was arranged to catch the surplus,
in which the water was kept as in a
reservoir until times of drought, when
it was sent streaming down over the
thirsty land. A palace stood at each
end of the Euphrates bridge; one palace
a mile and three-quarters in compass,
and the other palace seven and a half
miles in circumference. The wife of
Nebuchadnezzar, havin? been brought
up among the mountains of Media,
ceroid not stand it in this flat country of
Babylon, and so, to please her. Nebu
chadnezzar had a mountain 400 feet
high biiiltjn the midst of the city.
The mountain was surrounded by ter
races, fox the support of which great
arches were lifted. On the top of these
arches flat stones were laid; then a lay
er of reeds and bitumen; then two rows
of bricks closely cemented; then thick
sheets of lead, upon which the soil was
placed. The earth here deposited was
so deep that the largest trees had room
to anchor their roots. All the glory of
the flowery tropics was spread out at
that tremendous height, until it must
have seemed to one lelow as though
the clouds were all in blossom and the
very sky leaned on the shoulder of the
cedar. At the top an engine was con
structed which drew the water from the
Euphrates far below, and made it spout
up amid this garden of the skies. All
this to please his wife! I think she
must have leen pleased.
In the midst of this city stood also
the temple of Ileitis. One of its towers
was one-eighth of a mile high, and on
the top of it an observatory which gave
the astronomers great advantage, as
being at so great a height one could
easily talk with the stars. This tem
ple was full of cups, and statues, and
censers, all of gold. One image weighed
l.O(K) Kaltyluiush talents, which would
be equal to $.V2,O0Q,O00. All this by day,
but now night was about to come down
on ltal3'lon. The streets and squares
were lighted for dance and frolic and
promenade. The theaters and galleries
of art invited the wealth and pomp and
grandeur of the city to rare entertain
ments. Scenes of riot and wassail were
mingled in every street; godless mirth
and outrageous excess and splendid
wickedness came to the King's palace
to do their mightiest deeds of darkness.
A royal feast to-night, at the King's
palace! Hushing up to the gates are
chariots, upholstered with precious
cloths from Dcdan. and drawn by fire
eyed horses from Togurmah, that rear
and neigh in the grasp of the char
ioteers; while a thousand lords dis
mount, and women, dressed in all the
splendor of Syrian emerald, and the
color blending of agate and the chastc
ne.ssof coral, and the somber glory of
Tyrian purple and princely embroid
eries, brought from afar by camels
across the desert, and by ships of
Tarshish across the sea.
Open wide the gates and let the guests
come in. Fill the cups. Clap the cym
bals. Blow the trumpets. Let the
night go by with song, and dance, and
ovation, and let that Kabylonish tongue
Ihj palsied that will not say: "O, King
Belshazzar, live forever!"
Ah! iny friends, it was not any com
mon banquet to which these great peo
ple came. All parts of the earth had
sent their -richest viands to that table.
Brackets and chandeliers Hashed their
light upon tankards of burnished gold.
Fruits, ripe and luscious in baskets of
silver, entwined with leaves plucked
from royal conservatories. Wine
brought from the royal vats, foaming
in the decanters and bubbling in the
chalices. Gorgeous banners unfolding
in the breeze that came through the
open window bewitched with the per
fume of hanging gardens. Fountains
rising up from inclosures of ivory, in
jets of crystal, to fall in clattering rain
of diamonds and pearls. Music, ming
ling the thrum of harps, and the clash
of cymbals, and the blast of trumpets
inonewaveof transport that went -rippling
along the wall, and breathing
among the garlands, and pouring down
the corridors, and thrilling the souls of
1,000 banqueters.
The signal is given, and the lords and
ladies, the mighty men and women of
the land, come around the table. Hoist
every one his cup and drink to the sen
timent: "O King Belshazzar, live for
ever!" Away with care from the palace!
Tear royal dignity to tatters! Pour out
more wine! Give ns more light, wilder
music, sweeter perfume! Lord shouts
to lord, captain ogles to captain. Gob
lets clash, decanters rattle. There
come in the vile song, and the drunken
hiccough, and the slavering lip, and the
guffaw of idiotic laughter, bursting
from the lips of Princes, flushed, reel
ing, bloodshot; while mingling with it
all I hear: "Huzza! huzzal for great
Belshazzar!"
What is that on the plastering on the
wall? Is it a spirit? Is it a phantom?
Is it God? Out of the black sleeve of
the darkness a finger of fiery terror
trembles through the air and comes to
the wall, circling about as though it
would write, and then, with sharp tip
of Came, engraves' on the plastering the
doom of the King. The music stops.
The goblet falls' from the nerveless
grasp. There is a thrill. There' is a
start. ThereuathoasaadToicedahriek
horror. Let Daniel be brought in to
read that writing. He comes in. He
reads it: "Weighed ia the balance' and
found wanting."
Meanwhile the Assyrians, who for
two years had been laying Beige to that
city, took advantage of that carousal
and came in. I hear the feet of the
conquercrs on the palace stairs. Mas
sacre rushes in with a 'thousand gleam
ing knives. Death bursts upon the
scene; and I shut the door of the ban
queting hall, for I do not wast to look.
There is nothing there but torn banners,
and broken wreaths, and the slush 'of
sosel tankards, and the bloo" mux-
SSB "A- V -C" J -
women, and the kicked smd
Wed carcass of a dead King. For "In
WlWttwMfcttr,tfc,BDo(
the Cnaldcans, alaln."
I go on to learn teat when God writes
any thmgon the wall a nun had better
read it as it ia. Daniel did not misin
terpret or modify the handwriting on
thewalL irk all foolishness' to expect
a minister of the Gospel to preach al
ways things that the people lfke or the
people choose. Young men, what shall
I preach to.yoa to-night? Shall I tell
yon of the dignity of human nature?
Shall I tell yon of the wonder that onr
race has accomplished? 'O, no," yon
say, 'tell me the message that came
from God." I wilL If there is any
handwriting on the wall, it k thk les
son: "Accept of Christ and be saved.
I might talk of a great many other
things, but that is the message and a
I declare it Jesus never flattered those
to whom he preached. He said to those
who did wrong and who wore offen
sive -in bis sight: "Ye generation of
viper! ye whited sepulchres! how
can ye escape the damnation of bell!"
Paul, the apostle, preached before
a man who was not ready to hear him
preach. What subject did he take? Did
he say: "0! you are a good man, a very
fine man, a very noble man?" No; he
preached of righteousness to a man who
was unrighteous; of temperance to a
man who was the victim to bad appe
tites; of the judgment to come to a man
who was unfit for it So we must al
ways declare the message that happens
to comes to us. Daniel must read it as
it is.
A minister preached before James I.
of England, who was James VI. of
Scotland What subject did he take?
The King was noted all over the world
for being unsettled and wavering in his
ideas. What did the minister preach
about to this man who was James I. of
England and James VI. of Scotland?
Ho took for his text (James, i. o): "He
that wavcreth is like a wave of the sea,
driven with the wind and tossed"
Hugh Latimer offended the King by a
sermon he preached, and the King said:
"Hugh Latimer, come and apologize."
"I will," said Hugh Latimer. So the
day was appointed; and the King's
chapel was full of lords, and dukes,
and the mighty men and women of the
country, for Hugh Latimer was to apol
ogize. He began his sermon by saying:
"Hugh Latimer, bethink thee! Thou art
in the presence of thine earthly King,
who can destroy thy body. But bethink
thee, Hugh Latimer, that thou art in
the presence of the King of Heaven
and earth, who can destroy both body
and soul in hell fire?" Then he
preached with appalling directness at
the King's crimes.
Another lesson that comes to us:
There is a great difference between the
opening of the banquet of sin and its
close. Young man, if you had looked
in upon the banquet in the first few
hours, you would have wished you had
been invited there and could sit at the
feast. "Oh! the grandeur of Balshaz
zaf's feast!" you would have said; but
you look in at the close of the banquet
and 3'our blood curdles with horror.
The king of terrors has there a ghastlier
banquet; human blood is the wine and
dying groans are the music. Sin has
made itself a king in the earth. It has
crowned itself. It has spread a ban
quet It invites all the world to come
to it
It has hung in its banqueting hall the
spoils of all kingdoms and the banners
of all nations. It has gathered from
all music. It has strewn, from its
wealth the tables, and the floors and
the arches. And yet how often is that
banquet broken up and how horrible is
its end! Ever and anon there is a hand
writing on the wall. A King falls. A
great culprit is arrested. The knees of
wickedness knock together. God's
judgment like an armed host breaks
in upon the banquet and that night is
Belshazzar, the King of the Chaldeans,
slain.
Here is a yonng man who says: "I
can not sec why they make such a fuss
about the intoxicating cup. Why, it is
exhilarating! It makes me feel well.
I can talk letter, think better, feci bet
ter. I can not see why people have
such a prejudice against it" A few
years pass on and he wakes up and
finds himself in the clutches of an evil
habit which he tries to break, but can
not; and he cries out: "Oh, Lord God!
help me!" It seems as though God
would not hear his prayer; and in an
agony of body and soul he cries out:
"It bitcth like a serpent and it stingeth
like an adder." How bright it was at
the start! How black it was at the last!
Here is a man who begins to read cor
rupt novels. "They arc so charming,"
says he, "I will go out and sec for my
self whether all these things are so."
He opens the gate to a sinful life He
goes in. A sinful sprite meets him with
her wand. She waves her wand and it
is all enchantment Why, it seems as
if the angels of God had poured out
phials of perfume in the atmosphere.
As he walks on he finds the hills be
coming more radiant with foliage and
the ravines more resonant with the fall
ing water. O, what a charming land
scape he sees!
But that sinful sprite, with her wand,
meets him again; but now she reverses
the wand and all the enchantment is
gone. The luring songs become curses
and. screams of demoniac laughter.
Lost spirits gather about him and feel
for his heart, and beckon him on with
"Hail, brother! Hail, blasted spirit
hail!" He tries to get out He comes
to the front door where he entered, and
tries to push it back, but the door turns
against him, and in the jar of that
shutting door he hears these words:
"This night is Belshazzar, the King of
the Chaldeans, slain." Sin may open
bright as the morning; it ends dark as
the night!
I learn farther from. this subject that
death sometimes breaks In upon a ban
quet Why did he not go down to' the
prisons in Babylon? There were people
there that would like to have died. I
suppose there were men and women in
torture in that city who would have
welcomed death. But he comes to the
palace, and just at the time when the
mirth 'is dashing to the tiptop pitch
death breaks in at the banquet We
have often seen the same thing illus
trated. Here is a young man just come
from college. He is kind. He is lov
ing. He is enthusiastic He is eloquent.
By one spring he may bound to
heights toward which many men hare
been struggling for years. A profes
sion opens before him, He is estab
lished in the law. His friends cheer
him. Eminent men encourage him. Af
ter awhile you may see him standing
in the United States Senate, or moving
a popular assemblage by his eloqnence
as trees are moved in a whirlwind.
Some night he retires early. A fever k
on him. Delirium, like a reckless char
ioteer, seizes the reins of his intellect
Father and mother stand by and see the
tides of his life going out to the great
ocean. The banquet is coming to an
end. The lights of thoaght, and mirth,
and eloaaenee are being extinguished.
The garlands are snatched rfrom the
brow. The vision, is lfn. Deah at
thehnnqnet! ." 4

Suddenly the feast .ended What meant
those mounds thrown up nt Cnlcka
manga, Shiloh, Atlanta, Gettysburg,
South Mountain? What meant those
golden grain fields turned into n pastur
ing ground for cavalry horses? What
meant the corn felds gullied with the
wheels of the heavy supply train?
Why those rivers of tears those lakes
of blood? God was angry! Justice
must come. A handwriting on the
walll The Nation had been weighed
and found wanting. Darkness! Dark
ness! Woe to the North! Woe to the
South! Woe to the East! Woe to the
West! Death to the banquet!
I have also to learn 'rom the subject
that the destruction of the vicious and
of those who despised God will be very
sudden. The wave of mirth had dashed
to the highest (joint when the Assyrian
army broke through. It was unexpect
ed. Suddenly, almost always, comes
the doom of those who despise God and
defy the laws of men. How was it at
the deluge? Do you suppose it came
through a long northeast storm, so that
people for days before were sure it was
coming? No; I suppose 'the morning
was bright; that calmness brooded on
the waters; that beauty sat enthroned
on the hills; when suddenly the heavens
burst and the mountains sank like an
chors into the sea that dashed clear
over the Andes and the Himalayas.
The Bed sea was divided. The Egyp
tians tried to cross it There could be
no danger. The Israelites had just gone
through; where they had gone, why not
the Egyptians? There can be no dan
ger. Forward, great host of the Egyp
tians! Clap the cymbals and blow the
trumpets of victory! After them! We
will catch them yet and they shall be
destroyed. But the walls begin to
tremble. They rock! They fall! The
rushing waters! The shriek of drown
ing men! The swimming of the
war horses in vain for the shore! The
strewing of tin great host on the bot
tom of the sea, or pitched by the angry
wave on the beach a battered, bruised
and loathsome wreck! Suddenly de
struction came. One half hour before
they could not have believed it De
stroyed, and without retnedj-.
I am just setting forth a fact which
yon have noticed as well as L Ananias
comes to the apostle. The apostle says:
"Did you sell the land fpr so much?''
He says:
as quick
comes in. "Did yon sell that land for
so' much?" "Yes." It was a lie; and
quick as that she was dead! God's
judgments are upon those who despise
and defy Him. They pome suddenly.
The destroying angel went through
Egypt Do you suppose that any of the
people knew that he was coming? Did
they hear the flap of his great wing?
No! No! Suddenly, unexpectedly he
came.
Arc there any here who are unpre
pared for the eternal world? Are there
any here who have been living without
God, and without hope? Ict me say to
you that you had better accept of the
Lord Jesus Christ, lest suddenly your
last chance be gone.
If there be one in this presence who
has wandered far away from Christ
though he may not have heard the call
of the Gospel for many a year, 1 invite
him now to come and be saved. Flee
from thy sin! Flee to the stronghold of
the Gospel! Now is the accepted time;
now is the day of salvation.
Good night, my young friends! May
you have rosy sleep, guarded by Him(
who never slumbers! May you awake
in the morning strong and well! But 01
art thou a despiscr of God? Is this thy
last night on earth? Shouldst thou ho
awakened in the night by some
thing, thou knowest not what
and there be shadowy floating in
the room, and a- handwriting on the
wall, and you feel that your last hour is
come, and there be a fainting at the
heart and a tremor in the limb and a
catching of the breath then thy doom
would be but an echo of the text: "In
that night was Belshazzar, the King of
the Chaldeans, slain."
Hear the invitation of the Gospel!
"Ho, every one that thirsteth! Come
yo to the waters. And let him that
hath no money come, buy wine and
milk without money and without price."
"Come unto Me, all who are weary and
heavy laden, and I will give you rest"
O! that my Lord Jesus would now make
Himself so attractive to your souls that
you can not resist Him; and that if
you have never prayed before, or hare
not prayed since those days when yon
knelt down at your mother's knee, then
that to-night you might pray, saying:
Just as imii, without one pica
But that Thy blood was shed for mr,
And that Thou bid'st me come to Tlieo,
O, Lamb of God, I come!
But if you can not think of so long a
prayer as that 1 will give you a shorter
prayer that you can say: "God be mer
ciful to me, a sinner!" Or, if you can
not think of so long a prayer as that I
will give you a still shorter one that
you may utter: "Lord save me, or I per
ish!' Or if that be too long a prayer,
you need -not utter one word Just look
and live! -

the explosion are still in the pit, but it
is thought that all will be out in a few
hours.
This catastrophe, while involving
more than five times the loss of life oc
casioned by the Dnnbar disaster, differs
in many respcets from the latter. At
Dunbar the explosion set fire, to the

was a roaring furnace. Here the fire
was put out as soon as it .started.
Never in the history of American coal
mining has there been such an unex

annihilation of all within its reach.

A Russian gentlemaa'af emact'm
once dined with Sir Stafford Northcota,
at a time when Eagiand waa supposed
to aim at interfering between Rnnsia
and Turkey in their disagreement. Ia
the course of conversation the Baiaa
became very loud in abase of England,
and Sir Stafford made no response until
his guest exclaimed: "You Englishmen
are like the, pigs which hunt ia dirt for
truffles."
"Say rather, monsieur," remarked
Sir Stafford, 4the dogs which drive the
pigs away."
Dnring the rest of the dinner En

"I have at least one mercy to be
thankful for," said an irate Englishman
one day, in the course of a dispute v ith

n dawning smile.
"I, too, am glad, monsieur," said he,

A South Carol iua physician, asked
why he located at Monelova, said: "It
is a first-rate place for a doctor. If a
man is sick all you hare to do is to tell
bis friends (no matter whether the af
fair is serious or not) to go to a priest
and hare him confess and prepare for
death. If he dies tbey will say, Vhat
a good doctor he is. He knew he most
die and so he had his spiritual interests
attended to.' If he recovers they will
say, 'What a capital physician he must
be. The man was in the last extremity
and prepared for death and h cured
him.' So in cither event it is a first-rate
place in which to achieve a medical
reputation." Medical Record.

by local applications, as they can not reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There Is
only ono way to cure Deafness, and thai is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness Is
caused by an inflamed condition of the mu
cous lining of the Eustachian Tube. Wiiea
this tube gets inflamed you hare a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when it Is
entirely closed Drafsvm Is the result, and
unless the inflammation can bo taken out
and this tube restored to its normal condi
tion, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of tea are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but aa inflamed' condition
or the mucous surfaces.

case of Deafness (caused by Catarrh) that
we cannot cure by taking Hall's Catarrh

No one doubts that Dr.
Sage's Catarrh Remedy really
cures Catarrh, whether the
disease be recent or of long
standing, because the makers
of it clinch their faith in it
with .1 $500 guarantee, which
isn't a mere newspaper guar

moment.
That moment is when you
prove that its makers can't
cure you.
The reason for their faith
is this:
