' Jtnw York, March 8. Tho plaguo
of pernicious literature forificd tlio. nub
Joct of Dr. Tiilmago'H tcrinon today,
'which was tho third of the scrifi ho In
preaching on tho "Ten Plagues of tho
Cities." Tho IJrooklyu Academy of
Miifiio was filled in tho morning by a
denso crowd cnger to hear it, and nt
night atl'ho Qhrltaii Herald Hcrvlco,
in tho TfawS York Acadomy of llunlc,
tho dQrshjtd to bojjp.sd long before
tho hour of service, tliero being no
space avnilablo within tho building for
mora hearers. So largo is tho number
of thosd every week disappointed of
gaining qdjiiiwlpn that tho project of
hiring tho Madkon Square Garden lias
again been ;rovivcd. Qno cjtircn has
offcrel to pay all tho expenses if tho
Garden can bo jccurcd and Dr, Tal
inugo can bu induced to preach In it.
TJio text of tho preacher's dlscourso
was taken from Kx. vlli, 0, 7: "And
tho frogs caino up and covered tho
Jaud of Egypt. And tho mfiglolani
did so with their enchantments, mid
brought up frogs upon tho land of
Egypt."
There Is almost a universal aversion
to frogs, and yet with the Egyptian
thoy were honored, thoy won) Bocrod,
ond thoy wore objects of worship wlillo
all ye: and ' after death thoy were em
bajmoJ,,and today their remains may
bo found among tho sopulohers of
TJioboH. TIicmi oroaturoH, so attraotivo
onoo to tho Egyptians, at dlvino be
hest becaiuo obnoxious and loatlisomo,
and thoy went croaking and hopping
aid Jonglng iU tho jialaqo of tho king,
and into the bread trays and tho couches
of tho pcoplo, and oven tho ovens,
which now aro uplifted above tlo earth
and on Mut'sjdo of tho chimneys, but
thou were jiiiall hoJos In tho earth
with sunken pottery, woro filled with
frogs when tho housekeepers came to
look at thorn. If a man sat down to
cat, a frog alighted on J lis plate. If he
attempted to put on a shoo it was pro
occupied by a frog. If ho atUunptwl
to put his head upon a pillow it had
been tal ton possession of by a frog.
Jfroj ldgh mid low and everywhere;
loaUifiomo rogs, slimy frogs, besieging
frogs, Innumerable frogs, groat plague

down his staff and by miraolo It bo
cauio a serpent, and Uien ho took hold
of it and by piimclo it again became a
slatr, the serpent qharmors Imitntcd
to some tjilpg, and knowing that
tliero were borponts In Egypt which by
IV peculiar prejMuru ou thu luvck would
become as ilgld us a stlek of wood,
thoy Whined to change tho porpont into
tlio staff, and thon throwing it down
thos(a(I bocutuo the serpent. Bo like
wise those mngleliuis tried to imitate
thu plague of frogs, and perhaps by
smell of food attracting a groat uitmbor
of them to a certain mint, or by shale -lug
them out from a hidden plaoo, the
magicians isomotlmos seemed to ae
complisli the samo miraolo. While tlioho

I begin with tho lowest of nil tho lit
erature, that which does not oven pre
tend to bo respectable from cover to
cover a blotch of leprosy. Thoro are
many whoso entire business It is to dis
pose of that kind of literature. They
display it before tho schoolboy on his
way homo. They get tho catalogues
of schools and colleges, take tlio names
and postofllco addresses and send their
advertisements, and thelrcircnlars, and
their pamphlets, and their books to
overy ono of them.
BKsvma out had hooks.
In tho possession of theso dealers In
bad literature wcro found nino hun
dred thousand names and postofuco
luMreHnca, to whom it was Uiought it
might bo profitable to send theso cor
rupt thlngj. In tho year 1C7.'J Uicro
wero ono hundred and sixty-five estab
lishments engaged In publishing cheap,
corrupt literature. From ono publish
ing houso thcro went out twenty differ
ent styles of corrupt books. AlUiough
over Uilrty tons of vllo literature have
been destroyed by tho Society for tho
Suppression of Vlco, sUll there Is
enough of it left In this country to
bring down upon ns tho thunderbolts
of an incensod God.
In Uio year 18(58 tho ovll hod becomo
so great In this country that tho con
gress of the United States Missed a law
forbidding the transmission of bad lit
erature through tho United States
malls; but thero wero largo loojw in
thut law through which criminals might
crawl out, and tho law was ft dead fail
ure that law of 18C8. Hut in 1873 on
other law was (Missed by Uio congress
of tho United States against tho trans
mission of corrupt literature through
tho malls a grand law, a potent law,
a Chrlstiun law and under that law
multitudes of theso scoundrels havo
been nrrested, their property confis
cated and thoy themselves thrown Into
tho penitentiaries, where thoy belonged.
HOW OAtf IT JIIC IMUailT?
Now, my friends, how aro wo to war
against this corrupt literature, and how
are the frogs of Uils EgypUan plaguo to
be slain f First, of all, by tho prompt
and Inexorable execution of the law.
liot all good postmasters and United
States district attorneys and dotecUves
and reformers concert In Uieir ooUon to
stop this plaguo. When Sir Rowland
Hill spent his life In trying to secure
cheap postage, not only for England
but for all tho world, and to onon Uio
blessings of tho postolllco to all honest
business and to nil messages of charity
mid kindness and oirocUon, for all
healthful IntcrcommunlcaUon, ho did
not mean to ntnko vico easy or to fill
tho mall bags of tho United States with
the scabs of such a leprosy,
It ought not to bo In Uio power of
overy bail man who can raise a ono
cent stamp for a circular, or a two rant
stamp for a letter, to blast a mnn or
destroy a home. Tho postal service of
this country must bo clean, and wo
must all understand that tho swift ret-
nouuons oi uio untied tttotos govern
ment hovor over evory violation of Uio
letter box.
There aro thousands of mon and
women In this country, some for per
sonal gain, some through Innate de
pravity, somo through a spirit of re
venge, who wish to use this great
avenue of convenience and Intelli
gence for puriKwes revengeful, sala
cious mid diabolic. Wake up the law.
Wake up all Its pouulUos. i,ot every
court' room on this subject bo a Sinai

1 am not talking about what cannot
be done. I am talking now about
what Is being done. A great many of

Another way in which wo aro to drive
back this plaguo of Egyptian frogs Is
by filling the minds of our young pooplo
with a licalUiful literature. I do not
mean to say that mi the books anil
newspapers in our families ought to be
religious books and newspapers, or that
every song ought to bo sung to the tune
of "Old Hundred." I liavo no sympa
thy with tho attempt to mako the
young old. I would rather Join in a
crusado to keep tho young young. Boy
hood and girlhood mast not be ab
breviated. Hut tliero are good books,
good histories, good biographies, good
works of fiction, good books of all styles
with which we are to (ill tho minds of
Uio young, so th.it thoro will b3 no more
room for tho useless and vicious than
tliero Is room for tho chaff in a bushel

Against every bad pamphlet send a

against every scurrilous song send a

send a good book; and then it will be
as it was in ancient Toledo, where Uie
Tolotuin missals wero kept by the saints
in six churches, mid tbe sacrilegious
Romans demanded Uiat thoso missals
be destroyed, and thut tbe Roman mis
sals be substituted; and the war came
on, and I am glad to say that, the whole
mutter having been referred to cham
pions, the champion of the Tolotuin
missals witli one blow brought down
tho champion of the Roman missals.
So it will be in our day.
The good literature, Uie Christian
literature, in its championship for God
and the truth will bring down the evil
literature in its championship for the
devil. I feci tingling to Uie tips of my

His Voice Hit Fortune.
At a recent "high Jinks" of tho Ten
derloin club a number of professlonalu
In the theatrical and musical lino woro
prcMnt and helped to enliven tlio occa
sion by their songs, recitations and
funny stories.
Anion!? these wero comedian Ed
Stevens, of tho Casino company, and
Signer Tugliapictra, of operatic fame.
Mr. Stevens regaled tho assemblage I
wiui a series oi niniiMng anecdotes, and
tho signer, In nponM to repeated calls,
sang "The Palms" and other musical
selections In his own inimitable style.
Among tho guests was an elderly gen
tletnan from Schoharie county", this
state, who knowledgo of tho stage
and Its representatives, however, Is
somewhat limited. At tho conclusion
of the sigtior'sj last song ho turned to
his friend and Innocentv remarked:
"That fellow tliero sings preUy well,
doesn't lief Why, I should think he
could mako his living by singing songs.
That' what I'd do, at any rate, If I Jind
liU voice As for that other chap
there." ho went on, referring to Mr,
Stevens "ho'd ought to study for the
stage. There's tho making of a tine
comedian in him."
The countryman was vory much dls
concerted at Uio laugh which followed.
He was reassured, however, when
Hignor ragiiaptotra canto up to him
and said "I am Indeed obliged, sir;
that was tho flinl pouuiliuMnt I have
ever received In my life.'"--No'
