BROOKLYN, Dec. 81. In the foienoon
tervice nt tho Brooklyn Tabernacle to
' e'ay, Rev.Dr. Talraago preached on tho
enbject of "Shortened Lives; or, A Cheer
ful Goodby to 1803." The text Belected
was Isaiah lvii, i, "The righteous is taken
away from tho evil to come."
We have written for the last timo nt
tho head of onr letters and business docu
ments the figures 1893. "With this day
closes tho year. In January last wo cele
brated its birth. Today we attend its
obsequies. Another 12 months have
beeucut out of bur earthly continuance,
ami it is a timo for absorbing reflection.
Wo rill upend much time-in panegyric
of longevity. Wo consider it a great
thing-to live to be an octogenarian. If
any one dies in youth, wo say, "What a
pity J" Dr. Muhlenberg in old ago said
that the hymn written' in early life by
his own hand no more expressed his sen
timont when it said,
I would not live alwnjr. .
If one bo pleasantly.circumstanced, he.
never wants to go. William Cullcn Bry
ant, the great poet, at 82 years of age,
standing in my house in a festal group
reading "Thauatopsis" without specta-
cles," was just as anxious to live as when
at 18 years of age he wrote tho immortal
threnody. Cato feared at 80 years of tfgo
that he would not Jive to learn Greek.
Monaldescb at 115 years, writing the his
tory of his time, feared a collapse. The
ophrastus writing a book at 00 years of
ago was anxious to live to complete.it.
Thurlow Weed at about 80 years of ago
found life as great n desirability as when
he snuffed out his first politician.
Albert Barnes, bo well prepared for the
next world, at 70 said he would rather
stay here. So it is all tho way down. I
suppose that the last time Methuselah
was out of doors in a storm he was
afraid of getting his feet wet lest it
shorten 'his days. Indeed I some timo
'ago preached a sermon on the blessings
of longevity, but in this, the last day of
1B93, and when many are filled with sad
ness at the thought that another chapter
of their lifais closing, and that they havo
-305 days less to live, I propose to preach
to you about the advantages of an ab
breviated earthly existence.
INDCSTKY INCULCATED.
If I were an agnostic, I would say a
man is blessed in proportion to tho num
ber of years ho can stay on "terra firma,"
becauso after that he falls off the docks,
and if he is ever picked out "of the depths
it is only to be set up in some morguo of
the universe to 6ee if anybody will claim
him. If 1 thought God made man only to
last 40 or B0 or 100 years, and then he
wnfe to go into annihilation, I would say
his chief business ought to bo to keep
alive and even in good weather to be very
cautious, and to carry an umbrella and
take oyershoes and life preservers and
bronze armor and weapons of defense
lest he fall off into nothingness and ob
literation. But, my friends, you 'are not agnos
tics. You believe in immortality and
the eternal residence of the righteous in
" heaven, and therefore I first remark that
an abbreviated earthly existence is to bo
desired, and Is a blessing because it
makes one's life work very compact.
Somo men go to business at 7 o'clock
in the morning and return nt 7 in tho
evening. Others go at 8 o'clock and re
turn at 12. Others goat 10 and return
at 4. I have friends who are ten hours a
day in business, others who are five hours,
others who are one honr. They all do
their work well they do their entire
work, and fhei they leturn. Which po
sition do you think the most desirable?
You say, other things being equal, the
man who is the shortest time detained in
business and who can return home tho
quickest is the most blessed.
Now, my friends, why not carry that
good sense into tho subject of transfer
ence from this world? If a person dioin
"ohildhopd, he gets through ills work at 0
o'clock in tho morning. If ho dio at 45
, years of age, he gets through his work at
12 o'clock noon. If he die at 70 years
of age, he gets through his work at 6
o'clock in the afternoon. If ho die at 00, he
has to toil fill the way on up to 11 o'clock
at night. The sooner we get through
our work the better. Tho harvest all in
barrack or barn, the farmer does not sit
dowu in tho 6tubble field, but, shoulder
ing hia scythe nnd taking his pitcher
from under a tree, he makes a straight
line for tho old homestead. All wo want
to bo anxious about is to get our work
done and well done; tho quicker tho bet
ter. Again, there is n blessingin an abbre
viated earthly existence in the fact that
moral disaster might como upon tho man
if he tarried longer. A man who had
been prominent in churches, and who
had been admired for his generosity and
kindness everywhere, for forgery was
sent tojBtato prison for 15 years. Twen
ty years before there was no moro proba
bility of that man's committing a com
mercial dishonesty than that yon will
commit commercial dishonesty. The
number of men who fall into ruin be
tween 50 and 70 years of age is simply
appalling. If thoy had died 80 years be
fore, it would have been better for them
and better for their families. The short
er th'.i voyage the less chance for a cy
cles. PUULS OF SUCCESS.
There is a wrong-theory abroad thatif
ene's youth bo right, his old age will be
right. You anight as well say there is
nothing wanting fori ship's safety ex-1
cept to got it fully launched on the At
lm.tlc ocean. I have sometimes asked
tho who were schoolmates or college
mute of eome great defrander: What
kind of u boy was he? What kind of a
young man wax her" and they haveeuidj
" vhy, lit was a splendid fellow. I had
j utti m could ever go into rrach an
(rt , T)it Jaefrittiw ft .mb4b
tion of life sometimes comes far on in
midlife or in old age.
The first timo I crossed tho Atlantic
ocean it was as smooth as a millpond,
nnd I thought tho sea captains nnd the
voyagers had slandered tho old ocean,
and I wrote homo an essay for n maga
zine on "The Smilo of the Sea," but I
never afterward could have written that
thing, for before wo got homo we got u
terrible shaking up. Tho Grot voyage of
life in.iy bo very smooth; tho last may bo
a euroclydon. Many who start lifo in
great? prosperity do not end it in prosper
ity. The great pressuro of temptation comes
sometimes in this directien: At about
45 years of ago a man's nervous system
changes, and some one tells him he must
take stimulants to keep himself up, and
ho takes stimulants to keep himself up
until the stimulants keep him down, or
a man has been going along for 80 or 40
years in unsuccessful business, and here
is an opening where by one dishonorable
action ho can lift himself and lift his
famtly from all financial embarrassment.
Ho attempts to leap tho chasm, and ho
falls into it.
Then it is in after life that tho great
temptation of success comes. If a man
make a fortune before 30 years of age,
he generally loses it before 40. The sol
id and the permanent fortunes for the
most part do not como to their climax
until midlife or in old ago. Tho most of
tho bank presidents have white hair.
Many of those who havo been largely
successful have been full of nrroganco
or worldliness or dissipation in old age.
They may not have lost their integrity,
but they have become so worldly nnd so
selfish under the influence of largo suc
cess that it is evident to everybody that
their success has been a temporal calam
ity and an eternal damage.
Concerning many people it may be said
it seems as if it would havo been better
if they could havo embarked from this
life at 20 or 30 years of age. Do you
know the reason why tho vast majority
of people dio before 85? It is because
they havo not the moral endurance for
that which is beyond tho 80 aud a mer
ciful God will not allow them to bo put
to tho fearful strain.
Again, there is a blessing in an ab
breviated earthly existence in the fact
that one is tho sooner taken off the de
fensive. As soon as ono is old enough to
take care of himself, he is put on his
guard. Bolts on the door to keep out
tho robbers. Fireproof safes to keep off
the flames. Lifo insurance and fire in
surance against accidents. Receipts lest
you have to pay a debt twice. Lifeboat
ngainnt shipwreck. Westinghouso nir
.brako against railroad collision. There
are many ready to overreach you and
take all you have. Defense against cold,
defense against heat, defense against
sickness, defense against the woild's
abuse, defense all tho way down to the
grave, and oven the tombstone some
times is not a sufficient barricade.
If a soldier who has been on guard,
Bhivering nnd stung with tho cold, pacing
up and down the parapet with shoul
dered musket, is glad when somo ono
comes to relievo guard and ho can go in
side tho fortress, ought not that man to
shout for joy who can put down his
weapon of earthly defense and go into
the king's castle? Who is tho moro for
tunate, the soldier who has to stand guard
12 hours, or the man who has to stand
guard six hours? Wo have common sense
about everything but religion, common
sense about everything but transference
from this world.
THE EVIL TO COME.
Again, there is a blessing in an ab
breviated earthly existence in tho fact
that one escapes so many bereavements.
The longer we live the moro attach
ments and the more kindred, tho more
chords to bo wounded or rasped or sun
dered. If a man live on to 70 or 80 years
of age, how many graves are cleft at his
feet? In that long reach of timo father
and mother go, brothers and sisters go,
children go, grandchildren go, personal
friends outside the family circle whom
they had loved, with a love like that of
David and Jonathan.
Besides that, some men have a natural
trepidation about dissolution, and ever
and anon during 40 or 50 or CO years this
Horror' of their dissolution shudders
through soul and body. Now, suppose
tho lad goesat 10 years of age. 'Ho es
capes 60 funerals, 0 -caskets, 50 obse
quies, 50 awful wrenchings of tho heart.
It is hard enough for us to bqar their de
parture; out is it1 hot easier for us to bear
their" departure than for them to stay
and bear 50 departures? Shall wo not, by
the grace of God, ronso oursolvcs into a
generosity of bereavement which will
practically say, "It is hard enough for
me to go through this bereavement, but
how glad I am that he will never have to
go through itl"
So I reason with myself, and so 'you
will find it .helpful to reason with your
selves. David lost his son. Though
David was king, ho lay on tho earth
mourning and inconsolable for somo
time. At this distance of timo, which
do you really think was the ono to bo
congratulated, the short lived child or
the long lived father? Had David died
as early as that child died, he would in
tho first place havo escaped that particu
lar bereavement, then ho would have es
caped tho worse bereavement of Abta
lom, his recreant son, and the pursuit of
the Philistines, and the fatigues of his
military campaign, and the jealousy of
Saul, and the perfidy of Ahitbophel, and
the curse of Shimei, and tho destruction
of his family at Ziklng, aud, ubovo nil,
ho would have escaped the two great ca
lamities of liis life, tho great sius of nn
cleanness and murder. David lived to
be of vast use to the church and the
world, but to fur as hia own happiness
was concerned, dot's it not eeem to you
that it would have been better for him
tohavogonoearlj?
Now, this, my friends, cxpluius some
things that to you have been inexplica
ble. This shows yon why when God
takes little children from a household
he is very apt to take the brightest, tho
moat genial, the most sympathetic, the
moat talented. Why? It is because that
kind of natnre suffers the most when it
does suffer and la most liable to tempta
tion. God taw the tempest sweeping
jiVUsjNiJNU oJUttftjub
up from the Caribbean pand he put the
I delicate craft into the first harbor.
"Taken away from the evil to come."
' Again, my 'friends, there is d blessing
in an abbreviated earthly existence in the
fact that it puts one sooner in tho center
of things. All astronomers, infidel as
weir as Christian, agreoin believing that
tho universe swings around some great
center. Any one who has studied tho
earth and studied tho heavens knows that
God's favorite figure in geometry is a
circle When God put forth his hand
to create tho universe, ho did not ctrike
that hand at right angles, but he waved
it in a circle and kept on waving it in a
circle until systems and constellations
and galaxies and all worlds took that
motion. Our planet swinging around
tho sun, other planets swinging around
other suns, but somewhere a great hub
around which tho great wheel of tho uni
verse turns. Now, that center is heaven.
That is the capital of the universe. SChat
is the great metropolis of Immensity.
KNOWLEDGE AT FIRST HANDS.
Now, docs not our common sense teach
us that in matters of study it is bettei
for us to move out from tho center to
ward tho circumference rather than to
bo on the circumferenco.where our world
now is? We are like those wh6 Btudy
the American continent while standing
on the Atlantic beach. The way to study
the continent is to cross it or go to the
heart of it. Our standpoint in this world
is defective. We are at tho wrong end
of tho telescope. The best way to'stndy
a piece of machinery is not to stand on
tho doorstep and try to look in, but to
go in with tho engineer and take our
jilaco right amid tho saws and tho cyl
inders. We wear our eyes out arid our
brain out from the" fact that we are
s'Wdying'under such great disadvantage.
Millions of dollars for observatories to
study things about the moon, about the
sun, about tho rings of Saturn, about
transits and occupations and eclipses,
simply because our studio, our observa
tory, is poorly situated. Wo are down
in tho cellar trying to study the palace
of the universe, whilo our departed
Christian friends have gone up stairs
amid tho skylights to study.
Now, when one can sooner get to the
center of things, is ho not to bo congrat
ulated? Who wants to be always In the
freshman class? "Wo study God in this
world by the Biblical photograph of him,
but we all know we can in five minutes
of interview with a friend get moro ac
curate idea of him than we can by study
ing him 50 years through pictures of
words. Tho little child that died last
night today knows more of God than 'all
Andover, and all Princeton, and all New
Brunswick, and all Edinburgh, and all
tho theological institutions in Christen
dom. Is it not better to go up to the
very headquarters 'of knowledge?
Does not our common sensd teach us
that it is' better to be at tho1 center than
to be clear out on the rim of the wheel,
holding nervously fast to the tire lest we
bo suddenly hurled into light and eter
nal felicity? Through all kinds of optic
al instruments trying to peer in through
the cracks and tho keyholes of heaven-
afraid that both doors of tho celestial
mansion will bo Bwungwide open before
our entranced vision ruBhing about
among the apothecary shops of this
world, wondering if this is good for rheu
matism, and thnt is good for neuralgia
and something clso is good for a bad
cough, lest we bo suddenly ushered into
a land of everlasting health, 'where tho
inhabitant never says, "I am sick,"
What foola wo all are to prefer the cir
cumference to the center! What a dread
ful thing it would be if we should be
suddenly ushered from this wintry world
into the Maytimo orchards of heaven,
and If our pauperism of sin and sorrow
should bo suddenly broken up by a pres
eritation of an emperor's castle, sur
rounded by parks with springing foun
tains and paths up and down which an
gels of God walk two and twol
W0 stick to tho world as thongh'we
preferred cold drizzlo to wara habita
tion, discord to cantata, sackcloth to
royal purple as though wo preferred a
piano with four or five keys out of tune
to an in&trumont fully attuned as
though earth and heaven had exchanged
apparel and earth had taken on bridal
array and heaven had gono into deep
mourning, all its waters stagnant, all its
harps broken, all chalices cracked at the
dry wells, all the lawns sloping to the
river plowed with graves, with dead
angels under the furrow. Oh, I want to
break up my own infatuation, nnd I
want to break up your infatuation for
this world. . I tell you u wo aro ready,
and if our work is done, the sooner we
go the better, and if there aro blessings
in longevity, I want you to know-right
well thero aro also blessings in an abbre
viated earthly existence.
A TOnTUNATE ESCAPE.
If tho spirit of this sermon is true, how
consoled you ought to feel about mem
bers of your families that went early,
"Taken from the evil to come," this book
says. What a fortunate escape they had

to let passengers go up and see the bar
racks of Napoleon's captivity and then
hoist sail for tho port of their own native
land. They only took this world "in

blessed for them.
And if the spirit of this sermon k truo,

Ono Christmas morning ono of my
neighbors, an Old eea captain, died. Aft
er lifo had departed, his face was illu
minated as though ho wero just going in
to harbor. Tho fact was, ho had already
got through tho "Narrows." In tho ad
joining room wero tho Christmas pres
ents waiting for hia distribution. Long
ago, ono night, when ho had narrowly
escaped with his ship from being run
down by a great ocean steamer, ho had
inado his peace with God, and a kindei
neighbor or a better man you would not
find this sido of heaven. Without a mo
ment's warning tho pilot of the heavenly
harbor had met him just off tho lightship.
The captain often talked to mo of the
goodness of God, and especially of a
timo when ho was about to go in New
York harbor with his ship from Liver
pool, nnd ho was suddenly impressed
that he ought to put back to sea. Undei
tho protest of tho crew and under theit
very throat, he put back to sea, fearing
at tho same timo ho wa3 losing his mind,
for It did seem so unreasonable that
when they could get into harbor that
night they should put back to sea. But
they put back to sea, and the captain
said to his mate, "You will call mo at
10 o'clock at night."
At 12 o'clock at night the captain was
aroused aud said: "What does this mean?
I thought I told yon to call mo at 10
o'clock, aild hero it is 12." "Why," said
tho mate, "I did call you at 10 o'clock,
and you got up, looked around and told
mo-to keep right on this same course for
two hours, and then to call you at 12
o'clock." Said tho captain; "Is it pos
sible? I havo no rcmembranco of that."
At 12 o'clock the captain went on dock,
and through tho rift of tho cloud tho
moonlight fell upon tho sea and showed
him a Bhipwreck with 100 struggling
passengers. He helped them off. Had
he been any earlier or any later at that
point of the sea he would have been of no
service to fhoso drowning people. 'On
board the captain's vessel they began to
band together as to 'what they should pay
for the rescuo and what they should pay
for tho provisions. "Ah," saystho captain,
"my lads, you can't pay mo anything,
All I havo on board is yours. I feel too
greatly honored of God in having saved
you to take any pay." Just liko him.
He never got any pay except that of his
own applauding conscience,
Oh, that tho old sea captain's God
might bo my God and yours. Amid tho
stormy seas of this lifo may wo havo al
ways somo ono as tenderly to tako care
of ua ns tho captain took care of tho
drowning crew and the passengers. And
may we come into tho harbor with as
little physical pain and with as bright a
hope as 'ho had) and if it should happen
to bo a Christmas morning when tho
presents are being distributed and we
are celebrating tho birth of him who
came to save our shipwrecked world, all
tho better, for what grander, brighter
Christmas -present could we have than
heaven?

Florists' Decorations,
Thero has within tho past year or bo
grown up a greut rivalry between tho
florist3 of uppor Broadway, and tho
public has been the gainer, inasmuch aa
the display made by tho florists is far
inoro attractive from tho street than
ever before. Tho shops havo boen beau
tified, their show windows enlarged and
tho utmost efforts put forth to make
an effectivo display that will attract at
tention from the passerby. This is
generally douo by tho artistic grouping
of masses of superb flowers together
against a backgiound of greens or bj
providing something out of tho common
in contrast effects.
Ouo florist created a decided sensation
lately by having a windmill in his win
dow, tho arms of which revolved and
blazed alternately red and white as doz
ens of tiny electric lamps of glass of thosa
colors wero thrown on or off an electric
circuit. At tho back of tho shop, but in
full view of tho street, stood an immense
peacock of metal, colored to iature, nnd
its tail illuminated by a greut many sim
ilar tiny lamps set in tho "oyes" on the
feathers. Now York Mail and Express.
