Brooklyn, Nov. C Rev. Dr.'Tal-
nage today selected for his sermon n
tibject sufficiently oppropriuto for these
Inies, when throughout the United
Stetes great political questions are being
lisenssed and tlio nation is about to go
to the ballot box and decide who shall
rale In neighborhood, town, city nnd na
tion. Tlio text chosen was Revolution
icvlii, 10, "Alas, alas, that great city
Babylon, thai mighty city, for in ono
hour Is thy judgment cornel"
Modern scientists are doing a splendid
work in excavating tho tomb of a dead
umpire holding in its arms a dead city
mother and child of the sarao name,
Babylon. Tho ancient mound invites
the spades and shovels and crowbars,
while tho unwashed natives look on in
surprise. Theso scientists find yellow
bricks still impressed with tho name of
Nebuchadnezzar, and they go down into
jthe sarcophagus of a monarchy buried
pore than two thousand years ago. May
the explorations of Rawlinson and La'
yard and Chevalier nnd Opnerto nnd
Loftas and Chcsuoy bo eclipsed by tho
, breeont archaeological uncovering!
But is it possible this is all that re
" mains of Babylon a city once five times
'; larger than London and twolvo times
larger than Now York? Walls threo
hundred and seventy-threo feet high aud
Tninety-threo feot thick. Twonty-livo
jburnished gates on each sido, with
streets running clear through to corre
sponding gatcB on tho othor side. Bi.x
jhundred and twenty-five squares. Moro
tomp and wealth and Splendor and sin
than could bo found in any flvo modern
cities combined. A city of palaces nnd
temples. A city having within it n, gar
don on an artificial hill four bundled
jfeot high, tho sides of tho mountain ter
raced. All this built to keep tho Icing's
jwife, Amytis, from bocoming homesick
for the mountainous region in which slio
had spent her girlhood. The wators of
tho Euphrates spouted up to irrigato this
great altitude into fruits and flowers
and aborescenco unimnginablo a great
irivor running from north to south clear
through tho city, bridges over it, tun
nels under it, boats on it.
THE DEBAUCHED CITY.
A city of bazaars and market places,
unrivaled for aromatics and unguents,
land high mottled horses with grooms by
their sido, and thymo wood, and African
evergreen, and Egyptian linon, and nil
styles of costly textilo fabrics, and rar
jeet purples extracted from shellfish on
tho Mediterranean coast, and rarest scar
lets token from brilliant insects in
Spain, and ivories brought from bho
- jcesflful olophant hunts in India, aud
diamonds whoso flash was a roparteo to
(tlio sun, fortress within fortress, otii
battlcmont rising above embattloincnt.
Great capital of tho ages.
I But ono night, while honest citizons
jwero asloop, but all tho saloons of satur
nalia wore in full blast, and at tho
king's castle thoy had filled tho taukords
for tho tenth thno, and reeling and guf
fawing and hiccoughing around tho
state table woro tho rulors of tho land,
General Cyrus ordored his besieging
army to tako shovels and spades, and
jthoy diverted tho rivor from it3 usual
channel into another diroction so that
the forsaken bed of tho rivor became
the path on which tho besieging oruiy
eutered. Whan tho morning dawned
tho conquerors wore iusido tho outsido
trenches. Babylon had fallon, and
lienco tho sublime thronody of tho text,
"Alas, alas, that great city Babylon,
that mighty city, for in ono hour is thy
judgmont cornel"
I But do nations die? Oh, yes; thoro is
great mortality among monarchies and
fepublics. Thoy are liko individuals in

WHY NATIONS DIE.
You sec, my friends, it is no unusual
jf tig for a government to perish, nnd in
tlio samo necrology of dead nations nnd
in tho same gruvoyard of expired gov
ernments will go tho united States of
America unless there bo somo potent
voice to call a halt, and unless God in
his mercy interferes, and through a puri
flod ballot box and a widespread public
Christian sentiment the catastrophe bo
averted. This nation is about to go to
tho ballot box to exerciso the right of
suffrage, and I propose to set bcfoio you
tho evils that threaten to destroy the
American government, and to annihilate
American institutions, nnd if God will
help mo I will show you before 1 get
through the modo in which cacli ond
evory ono may do something to arrest
that appalling calamity. And I shall
plow rp the whole flold.
Tlio first evil that threatens the anni
hilation of our Americnn institutions is
tho fact that political bribery, which
onco was considered a crime, has by
many como to bo considered a tolorablo
virtuo. There is a legitlmato use of
money in elections, in tho printing of po
litical tracts, nnd in the hiring of public
halls, and in tho obtaining of campaign
oratory, but is there any homunculus
who supposes that this vast amount of
money now being raised by tho political
parties is going in a legitimate direotion?
Tlio vast majority of it will go to buy
votes.
Hundreds and thousands of men will
have sot beforo them so much money
for a Republican voto, and bo much
money for a Democratic voto, and tho
Btiporior financial inducement will do
cido tho action. You wnnt to know
which party will carry tho doubtful
6tates duy after tomorrow. I will tell
you. Tho parly that spends the most
money. This moment while I speak
the pcddlorn carrying gold from Wall
street, gold from Thiid streot, gold from
Stato street and gold from tho Browors'
association, aro -in all tho political head
quarters of tho doubtful Htntes, dealing
out tho infamous inducement.
Thoro used to bo bribery; but it held
its head in shame. It was under tho
utmost secrecy that many years ago a
raihoad company bought up tho Wis
consin legislature and many othor pub
lic oflicinls in that stato. Tho governor
of that stato at that timo received $5(V
000 for his slKiiiuuro. His privato sec
retary received $5,000. Thirteen mem
bers of tho souato received $170,000
among thorn in bonds. Sixty mombors
of tho othor house recoived from $5,000
to $10,000 each. Tho lieutenant govern
or leceived $10,000. Tho clerks of tho
houso recoived from $5,000 to $10,000
each. Tho bank comptroller received
$10,000. Two hundicd and fifty thou
sand dollars woro divided among tho
lobbyists. You see tho railroad compa
ny was vory generous. But all that
was hiddon, und only through tho Be
vel est scrutiny on tho part of a legisla
tive conimitteo was this iniquity dis
played. Now political bribery defies
you, dares you, is arrogant, nnd will
probably docido tlio election next Tues
day. Unless this diabolism ceases in this
country Baitholdi's statuo on Bedloo's
island, with upliftod torch to light othor
nations into tho harbor, had hotter bo
changed and tho torch dropped ns a
symbol of univoisul incondiarism.
KEFOUM OU I'EMSll!
Unless this purchnso nnd salo of suf
frngo shall ceaso tho Amoiicnn govern
ment will expiro, nnd you might as well
bo getting ready tho monument for an
other dend nation and let my text in
scribo upon it theso -words, "Alas, ulas,
for Babylon, thnt grcnt city, thnt mighty
city, for iu ono hour is thy judgment
cornel" My friends, if you have not no
ticed thnt political bribery is ono of tho
ghastly crimes of this day, you havo not
kopt your eyes open.
Another evil threatening tho destruc
tion of American institutions is tho solid
ifying of tho sections against Cach othor.
A solid uoith. A solid south. If this
goes on wo shall, aftor awhile, havo a
solid cast against n 6olid wefct; wo shall
havo Bolid middlo states against solid
northern states; wo Bhall havo a solid
Now York against a solid Pennsylvania,
and n solid Ohio ngainst a solid Ken
tucky, It is twenty-sovou years sinco
tho wurcloud, and yet nt ovory presi
dential elcotiou tho old antagonism is
aroused. When Gurflold died, aud all
the states gathered around his casket in
sympathy and iu tears, and as hearty
telegrams of condolence cninofrom New
Orleans nud from Charleston as from
Boiiton nnd Chicago, 1 said to mysolf, "I
think sectionalism is dead." But, alas,
nol Tlio difficulty will never bo ended
until each stato of tho nation is unlit up
into two or threo groat political parties.
This country cannot exist unless it ox
Uts its ono body, tho national capital tho
heart, seudiug out through nil tho nrto
ries of communication warmth and life to
tho very extremities. This nation cannot
exist unless it oxitta as ono family, and
you might as well havo solid brothers
ngaintt solid siutera, and a solid bread
tray agaiiwt a solid cradle, and a solid
uurbery against a solid dining room, and
you might aa wU havo solid ears agaiust
solid yjM, and solid head against solid
foot What U tho interest of Georgia is
the interest of Massachusetts; what is
the iutareat of New York is tho interest
of South Carolina, Does the Ohio river
ohauge lta politios when it gets below
Louisville? It is uot possible for theso
What killed Phoenicia? What killed
Rome? Their own depravity, nnd tho
fraudand tho drunkenness, and tho lech
ery which hnvo destroyed other nations
will destroy ours unless a mcrcifnl God
prevont. To show you tho low state of
public morals, I havo to call your olten
tion to the fact that many men nomi
nated for offices in different states nt dif
ferent times nro entirely unfit for the
positioi.s for which thoy have been nom
inated. DnOKADATIONS OF POLITICS.
They havo no moro qualification for
them than a wolf has qualification to be
professor of pastoral theology in a flock
of sheep, or a blind mole has qualifica
tion to lectnrea class of eagles on optics,
or than a vulturo has qualification to
chaperon a dove. Tho mere pronuncia
tion of homo of their names makes a de
mand for carbolic acid and fumigation I
Yet Christian men will follow right on
under the political standards.
I have to tell you what yon know
already, that Americnn politics havo
sunken to sue... a low dopth that there is
nothing beneath. What wo see in somo
directions we Bee in nearly all directions.
Tho peculation and the knavery hurled
to tho surfaco by tho explosion of banks
and business firms aro only specimens of
great Cotopaxisond Stronibolis of wick
edness that boil and roar and surge be
neath, but have not yet regurgitated to
tho surface. When the heaven de&cended
Democratic party enacted the Tweed ras
cality it seemed to eclipso everything;
but after awhile tho heaven descended
Republican party outwitted pandemoni
um with the star route infamy.
My friends, we havo in this country
people who say the marriago institution
amounts to nothing. Thoy scoff at it.
Wo havo people walking in polito par
lors in our day who aro not good enough
to bo scavengers in Sodom! I went over
to San Francisco ten or fifteen years ago
thnt beautiful city, that queen of the
Pacific. May tho blessings of God come
down upon lior great churches and her
noble men and woment When I gotinto
the city of San Erancisco tho mayor of
tho city und the president of thoboaid
of health called on mo and insisted that
I go and bee tho Chinese quarter, no
doubt so thnt on my return to the At
lantic coast I might tell what dreadful
people tho Chinese nre.
Bnt on tho Inst night of my stay in
San Francisco, beforo thousnnds of peo
ple in thoir great opera house, I Baid,
"Would you liko me to tell you just
what I think, plainly und honestly?"
Thoy said, "Yes, yes, yes!" I said, "Do
you think you can Btand it all?" Thoy
said, "Yes, yes, yes!" "Then," I said,
"my opinion is that tho curse of San
Francisco is not your Chinese quarter,
but your millionaire ltbertinesl"
And two of them eat right before jno
Felix nnd Drusilln. And so it is in nil
tho citios. I never swear, but when I see
a man go nnwhipped of justice, laugh
ing over his shamo nnd calling his damna
ble deeds gallantry and peccadillo, I am
tempted to hurl redhot unatheina nnd
to conclude that if, nccording to some
people's theology, thero is no hell, thoro
ought to bo!
THE WICKED, VOLUPTUOUS CITY.
Thoi o is enough out nnd out licentious
ness in Ameiican cities today to bring
down upon them tho wrath of that God
who on the 2-lth of August, 79, buried
Horculaneum nud Pompeii so deop in
the nshos that tho eighteen hundred nnd
thirteen subsequent yenrs havo not been
able to complete the exhumation. There
nro in some of tho American cities to
day whole blocks of houses which tho
authorities know to bo infamous, aud
yot by purchase thoy are silenced by
hush monoy so that such places are as
much under tho dofense of government
as public libraries and asylums of mercy.
These ulcers on tho body politic bleed
and gangrene away the life of tho na
tion, and public authority in many of
tho cities looks tlio other way. You
canuot euro such wounds as theso
with a eilkon bandage. You will
havo to euro them by puttiug deop iu
tho ltincot of moral surgery nnd burn
ing them out with tho cnustio of holy
wrnth, nnd with most deeisivo nmputn
tlon cutting off tho scabrous and putro
fying abominations. As tho Romans
were after the Celts, and ns tho Nor
muns were after tho Britons, so thero
aro evila nfter this nation which will at
tond its obsequies unless wo first attend
thoirs.
Superstition tells of n marine reptile
tho cephaloptoni wliich enfolded and
crushed n ship of war; but it is no super
Btitiou when I tell you that tho history
of many of the dead nations proclaims
to us tho fact that our ship of, stato is in
dangor of being crushed by tho copha
loptera of national depravity. Where
Is tho Hercules to slay this hydr.i? Is it
not time to speak by pen, by tongue, by
ballot box, by the rolling of tho prison
door, by hangman's hnlter, by earnest
prayer, by Slnaltio detonation?
A son of King Croesus is said to hnvo
been dumb, nud to hnvu never uttered a
word until ho saw his father being put
to death. Then he broke tho shackles
of his eilcnco und ciied out, "Kill uot
my father, Crrcsns!" When 1 seo tho
cheater, aud tho wantonness, nnd the
manifold crime of this country attempt
ing to commit patrioido yea, matricido
upon our institutions, it seoms to mo
thnt lips that heretofore havo been dumb
ought to break tho bilenco with canorous
touos of fiery protest.
WE HAVE A GOODLY HKIUTAOE.
I want to put all of the matter before
you, mi that every honest man and wom
an will know just how matters staud,
aud what they ought to do if they voto,
and what they ought to do if they pray.

Ah, it will not bo long beforo it will

That is all of this country wo will need

if, when tho archangel's trumpet sounds,

Habitual Posture.
Comparatively few persons havo both
sides of tho body of perfectly similar
proportions. Ono leg or ono arm is
shorter than tho othor. The two sides
of tho head are often of unequal size.
Few persons haye ears of an equal size
and symmetrically placed. Tho sizo and
position of tho eyes vary, In the mouth
nnd tin oat nlso wo find inequality, and
tho cartilago separating the two nasal
cavities is oftener deflected than ver
tical. This condition of inequality iu the
two bides of the body is called asym
metry. Thobo who havo observed tho effects
of school life on body development must
hnvo noticed the influence of habitual
posturo on tho symmotry and health of
tho body.
Thero is n tendency nmong school
children, nnd especially among school
girls, to assume habitual postures both
in sitting and standing. Tlio habit of
throwing all tho weight of the body on
ono leg produces a corresponding throw
ing of tho upper part of tho body toward
tho opposito side in order to establish
tho necesstuy equilibrium. This tends
of couiso to cuivo the spiual column,
on which tho upper part of tho body is
supported.
In this position tho body and nil tho
internU organs nro thrown out of their
normal vertical position, nnd tho force
of giavity tfill further exaggerates this
lesult. Thus tho muscles of tho neck
aro unevenly exorcised In the uncon
scious balancing of the head upon tho
vertobrnl column. Even tho muscles of
tho face tond to become unevenly con
tracted, nnd this in timo develops a con
dition of asymmetry of tho face

For two years I havo been using
an old maro, 17 years old, without
shoes. Sho hod nlways been shod
before. And for tho last ten months
I havo used a C-year-old horso of
rather heavy build without shoes.
My brougham is ton nnd a half hun
dredweight, and they draw it singly
in turns. I had thom Bhod threo
times with "Charlior" shoes. Each
timo tho shoo was made shorter, nnd
I allowed tho shoes to bo worn until
thoy woro thinner than a sixpence.
At tho end of that timo tho middlo
of tho hoof had grown level with tho
wall. Then tho animal went with
out shoes altogether.
Thero was a little lameness onco or
twice, which passed off with a day's
rest each time, I uso tho rasp about
onco a month to remove tho jngged
edges of the hoofs and to keep tho
hoofs iu Bhape. Tho wall of tho
hoofs becomej more than an inch in
thickness and wonderfully hard, and
not brittle as might havo been
thought, though I uso no means to
keep them soft
My horses go quite as Avell as with
shoes, and aro much safer when tho
sots aro greasy and slippery. Thoy
aro not ns safe on ico as a sharpened
horso, but much safer than an un
sharpened horso. If a horso is used
unshod beforo tho middlo of tho hoof
is Oiled up, tho wall bn aks away in
largo pieces up to tho i' .1 holes, and
ho goes lame nnd must havo rest un
til what the furrier has cut away
has been replaced by nature. Noth
ing could induco mo to f,o back to
shoes, and any hcrso is able to do
without shoes if ti-eated aa above.

Superstitions nr Chllilirn.
As might bo expected supersti
tious fancies tako a peculiarly firm
hold of tho minds of children. In
the pockets of plenty of scholars at
our public schools will bo found a
smooth whito pebble, earned for
luck; around the necks of plenty
more will bo found a red string tied
to keep off throat dibcases, while a
large proportion could not comfort
ably pa&s by a pin or a horseshoe
without picking it up lest ill luck,
should ensue.
At a ceitain school, the yard to
which hns no gate, but instead an
open space divided by a row of three
posts, tho girls boliovo that whoever
passes between tho middlo post and
ono of those next it will fail in her
lessons that day, and a girl who has
unthinkingly done so will turn back
and enter a second time, going care
fully between an outer post and the
end of tho fence. This superstition is
handed from class to class and bids
fair to flourish for many years as
part of tho information acquired at
