Brooklyn, .Sept. 21.?Pielinilnarv ! to his sermon at the Academv ofMusk 1 in this city, this forenoon. liev. Dr. Tai- j mairc announced that, until the now 3 ; Brooklyn Tabernacle was coinuleted. he ; J would prcach iu the Brooklyn Academy | ot Music, on Sunday mornings. He was ! glad to add that, by an arrangement! made through The Christian Herald, cf j Xew York city, he would be enabled to j prcach in the New York Academy of j Music, on Fourteenth street, on Sunday ! evenings, beginning with the evemng of; September 23th. lie also announced j that on next Sabbath morniug, Septem- j beroSth, he would begin a series ofser mons entitled: Recent Journey j Through the Holy Land and Xeighbor- j WViot I ^r>\vnnd 7 .cfirMod."' ! IJUi; \wUU:iUi^o^ M ... The subject of to-day's sermon was:'! "Crooked Things." Text, Isaiah -!: | ^ "The crooked shall be made straight."' j Geometry, from the time it was uis/ covered on u.e banks ofthc Xlle. which, by its overflow annually obliterated the landmarks, and the restoration of these landmarks made such a science necessary?I say, Geometry, ever since then has been busy with lines, straight lines, curved lines, liues in angles and cones and spheres, but has never been able to i:?- <i._* evolve any oeauty irum ;i uuv merely crooked. The circle and the square were always considered admirable. Isaiah recognizes the circle and says : "The Lord sits upon the circle of the earth." The altar of the ancient tabernacle was ''four square," and the breastplate of the priest "foursquare," and heaven, according to Jolm. Is "four square." But the Bible has no admiration for lines that are merely crooked. Indeed, my text in prophesying the j world's complete recti&cation declares: | "The crooked shall be made straight." j There have been so many moral earthquakes that many things have got into a terrible twist?crooked laws, crooked j governments, crooked fortunes, crooked j "* 4-K /*. AA*A%>fc< t r\ dispositions?ana many ui ;uc mvi straighten things have o nly made them j . more crooked. And some good people sit down in despair and become pessimistic and give up lite and the church and the world as dead failures. With such - lachrymose behavior I have no sympathy. It is a promise ot the Lord Almighty. '*The crooked shall he made straight." I propose, as I may be divinely helped, to mention some of the crooked things that are going to be siraightened. Much of the wealth of the world is in the hands of the t>rolli?rate while many of the best people are subjected to (lis- ( tressing privation; and there :s yoinir to j be a redistribution of property. If it j were possible, it would bo. a bad thing to have things divided equally. Some J men are able" to endure more success than others, and prosperity that might not unbalance you. might destroy me. . The Declaration of American Independence declares that all men are born equal, but the opposite is the truth for they are born unequal. In no respect is this more evident than in their capacity to endure success, financial or social. I have seen men by the acquisition ot rifty thousand dollars made arrogant and overbearing, and I have known others i -i-n I with their minions 01 uonars cui;uui\t; and unassuming and Christian. We would all be affluent hue the Lord cannot trust us. 1 am glad there are those He can trust. Much is said against capitalists, but the world would be a slinkv world without them. Who built railroads which, while they give such facilities ot travel, employ tens o- thousands of laborers supporting them and their families ? Capitalists. Who built great ships that stir the rivers and bridge the ocean? Capitalists. Who reared the thousands of factories all over the land in which hundreds oi' thousands ot employees earn their daily bread? Capitalists. Who endowed your colleges, and opened free libraries, and built asylums for the orphan, the {-rippled the insane? Capitalists I But lor them 1 * - - ^ 1-- -?- * /\f ar mere wouiu uut lh; uu i-i . iwic, or a picture gallon* or a free library or a steamboat, or a railroad in America. Who put the world on seventy-live years beyond what it would have been in enterprise, in comforts, in educational advantage, in good things without number? Capitalists! The more money a man gets the better, if it come honest- ; ly and is employed righteously. Nevertheless we all see that there needs to be a redistribution of property. Communism proposes to make that distribution by torch and dagger and dynamite. Throw the midnight express train off the track and put the factory into conflagration. Disrupt society. .Burglarize. Assassinate. Such people believe neither in God nor man nor woman and they know how to make things worse but never have made and never can make anythim; better. I tell you how there will come a redistribution of" property. Under liie diviue blessing good people will get more alertness and acumen and assiduity. Many good people arc kept in straitened circumstances because they have been ' indolent, or lacked courage to take Hon- j est advantage of circumstance*, and ' vrere too stupid to get on. Vv'itli the very same surroundings others went cn to competency. In the better days to come good men will have their faculties wakened, arid will in consequence ri -e to larger share of property. On the other hand, estates wrongfully accumulated, will dissolve. If not the sons, then the grandsons will make the money 11 v. and it will Gradually scatter in their hands, and become a part of the general wealth. Then, as to vast properties righteously gathered?and there arc thousands of them?such estates, w ill contribute to- i ward helping the unfortunate, not more by charities than by helping struggling people into lucrative business' ami the i man who has amassed enough and a sur-: plus will say: "There is a young merchant without any capital. I will stan him on Fulton Street," and '-there is a young mechanic who has no means of his own, and I will put him on a carcer of prosperity," and "There is a farmer ! witx{ *00 hig a mortgage on his land, and j I will help him lift- the encumbrance." The tact is that if the kindness and gen- j erasity manifested by moneyed men 4o-; word the struggling during the last tifty j years, increases in the same ratio ior the next tifty years, there will be a condition of society paradisacal. We are <;oing to have a multiplication of William E. Dodges, and Peter Coopers, aud James Scnoxes. and George Teabodys. So will : come redistribution, and the crooked will be made atraight. Mind this: (I od never yet undertook a failure. The old book which is worth ' all other books put together, makes: it plain that God has undertaken to regu- 1 late this world by gospel influences, and : if He has the power lie v.-III do what lie j says He will, and no one who amounts 1 to anything will deny His power. God i : has said a hundred times "I \vi'...'J but j never once has scud "1 cannot."'

Throw yourself on the promise cf the text, or a hundred oilier texts meaning about the samething. 1 nover yet asked God to do anything I hut lie did it, if it were best, aud in all the cases where my prayer lias net been ; answered, I have found out afterward t that 3t was best not to have been an swered in my way. Uut none of us have ! tested the full power of prayer. It is a. force very like sonic of the forces of nature, that were in existence but not employed. For ages electricity was thought good for nothing but to burn barns, and kill people with fell strokes. The lightning rod on the ton of houses was the spear with which the world charged on the thunderstorm, as much i as to say, "If you dare to come this way 11 will hurl you mto the ground/' J>ut ; now electricity lightens homes, and churches, and cities, and Christendom, and moves rail cars, and lie is a rash man who mentions anything as impossible to this natural enenrv. So the nower of prayer was to the world rather a frightul power, ifit was any power at all. But that has been changed, and men begin (o use it in some things, and the jnv* will come when it will be used in ail things, and there will be a Bible in every counting room, and supplication will ascend Irom every commercial establishment, and when business firms are format! the question will not only be asked as to how much this one and that one put in of capital, the question will be asked: "Do you know how to pray?"

Washington Allston, whose name you recognize as that of a great American rainier, was reduced to extreme poverty. and one day ^or 0:1 his knees and asked for a loaf of bread for himself an;! his ht:;rv"::-rr family. While he >vp.s l.o\vc<.!!n ihat prayer there was a knock at tho j iior-r unci a inau cair.e in r.in! said: ''How j ob'>ut your paintiug. the 'Angel that received the prize at the royal aead- j ensyr Has it been sold?" said 1 Alistca. "How much do you want for ! il?" Allston replied: "L am done fixing ! u price for I cannot tell." "Will four j hundred pounds be enongh'r" asked the j stranger. "Why that- is more than I i asked," -aid Alston. The 400 pounds, j (. li.oUU) were paid and the purchaser m- j ircduced himself as Marquis of Stafl'ord. j who thereafter was one of the most lib- j eral patrons of the rescued artist. "Oh. j that all just happened so:" Did it? Tell that to some ignorant man. some benighted woman, who has never read the the promise: "Call upon me in the day of trouble, I will deliver thee." or that oilier promise: The crooked shall be made straight." Yv ell." says one. "you don't apply this in every direction." Yes. J. do. TaTce the most uncertain thing on earth ?the weather. The Uible distinctly say$ that prayer controls the weather. James 5th. and I>'th: "Elijah was a man subject to like passions as we are and ho j prayed earnestly mat it mignt not nun,; and it rained not oil the earth for the space of three years and sb: months; and lie prayed again and the heavens gave rain." Do you say that was the weather of olden time':" There have been instances in modern times just as marvelous. There is not a Christian ship captain but couid give you instances of divine interference with the weather in answer to prayer. It has been my good fortune to know many ship captains. TLev are in ail our services. Thev leave ' their vessels on Sunday mornings and join us in worship. I warrant there are enough el'them present this morning to take a whole licet m safety across the Atlantic. Whenever 1 have heard them testify, it has mightily confirmed me in what I knew before, that God answers ".caver concerning the weather. And j there have been cyclones that started1 yp fro in the Caribbean sea, sweeping down every >:ul and every smokestack j and every mast in their course. which in answer to speciiie petition. have been diVvr-i ! an;I made to > urve aroun I some particular ship. leavinij thnt i'i cairn waters, ::vi then resuming their original path o i destruction. The weather I robn i'uie:; again have announced a tempest anil wc were all ready for it, but to the surprise of most people, the next day we saw the announcement that the atmospheric iury had changed its course. The probability it struck a prayer and i glanced off. if luijah's prayer ell'ected | the weather oi' i'alcstiue for forty-uvo j [nomas. I should think somebody now iii^ht have a prayer that would etl'cc! it for a couple of days. John Easier was many years ago anbvacgeiist in Virginia. A large out-door meeting was being held in that stale. Many thousands had assembled in the cncu air and heavy storm-clouds began lo gather. There was no shelter to ivhU-hi!multitudes could retreat.

Then he i knelt and prayed thai the audience mi^ht | l>c snarc-d from the ruin, and that after they had gone to their homes there might\ come refreshing showers. Behold the clouds parted as they came near an:: passed to cither side of the crowd and then closed again, leaving the place dry | where the audience had assembled, and ; the next day the postponed showers came upon the ground that had been ti e ; day before omitted. Do you say it only j happened so? 1 cannot see what you j keep your bibles tor. and the (Jod you j worship is not my (iod. Your wod is; ..ti -.in?

Take ; to God all your annoyances and y.erplex! itfes. The crooked* shall be made straight- Some people talk as though God controlled tilings in general hut not in particular; that He started everything under certain laws and let it take care of itself, as an engineer might start Iiis locomotive on an iron railroad track and then jump oil'. What would happen to such, a locomotive :<? what would long ! ago have I:arpene? to our world u uou i j had started it and afterwards allowed it to look out for itself, There is no such thin;: as a genera! providence. It is a particular providence. God has no general care lor a forest, it is a care of every ceil, 01* every leaf a ad root in that iorcst. God has no general care of the ocean. It is a care o: every drop of water in the liquid magnitude. God has no general care for the human race, ii is a care of every individual oi that race, and of every item of individual history. I preach Ilim, a God in Infinitesimals, an every-{lay God, a God responsive, and one breath of earnest prayer, though that breath should not be strong enough to make a candlc tiicker, will absorb more of the divine attention than if the archangel standing at the foot of the throne should llap both wings. It is remarkable how many crooked things are in the providence of God being made straight. About thirty years ago our national affairs were as crooked as depraved American polices and bau men, and satan could make them. From the top of .Maine to the foot of Florida, the nation was red with wrath. It was wrangle and fight all the way throng, ana one of the mildest things that the North and .South promised each other was assasination. JDurin? this summer I have traveled through Xcw York, and Ohio, and Illinois, and Indiana, and Minnesota, and Kansas and Nebraska, and Missouri, and Texas, -and Louisi ana, and Georgia, and 2sortii and South Carolina, and Virginia, and Pennsylvania. and I have shaken hands with tens of thousands of people, and talked with men of all sections and degrees, and I have to tell you it is all peace, and in j all the suites of the Union you could not now marshal a military company ot 100 J soldiers to tight against the. United States government, unless you got your men cut of the penitentiary. Did the corrupt and gangrened political parties do this work of rectification and pacification? Xo! It was oy divine iuierposition that the crooked has been made straight. On December 2,1 So 1. Louis Napoleon j j Donaparte rode down the Champs Llysee j I 1>A1*8M ' I VI jL iiuu uuuu ui;-o iiuuic ui 1.10 nvwv I a Republic was trampled as the rider j went to take a throne. It. was the out- J rage of the century. For nineteen 10115; years the wrong triumphed. The willot' one man who wanted to remain emperor kept down a nation who wanted :i Re| public. ]>ul September. 1870. arrived, | and Set'an unrolled its crimson scroll.! j The emperor surrenders with S3.000 I ; troops, 410 Held guns, 0.000 horses and j i GO.000 muskets. From that day the bal-1 lot-box was r.i> and the throne was down. Free institutions have been substituted for an infamous monarchy. Thank God! j The crooked has been made straight. But why go so far to find fulfilment oi' | rmy text. In all our lives there are I crooked things that need to be made j j straight, and each, hearer or reader will enumerate for himself or herself. With one it is delapidatcd physical health, and you are saying. "Why cannot I be in good health when I have such opportunities and such responsibilities?" Alas tor the sick headaches and the rheumatic joints, and the neuralgic thrusts, and the lame foot! ikit you v/ill be well soon. Life at the loudest is an abbreviated durante. There is a black doctor U:at \vi31 cure you. Some people call him Death. Xo disease was ever able to stand before his touch. Use all li:e means aiibrded or physical recuperation, but if they fail the hour of release is not iar away. There need be no incurables. There is no sorrow that heaven cannot cure. Those who in this world have always been well will not get the best part of heaven. They will not have the advantage of contrast. Tliev were well before i they left this world and why should Lhey be so gratulated at being weil in the next world. But to those who ou earth were hindered or broken down in health what a contrast as they step into that domain where there lias never been an aching brow or lame loot or inflamed muscle or disordered nerve! For Ibrt-y years there may have been a stooping in the back, or a twisted muscle, or a curved spine or a crooked limb, but the promise has been fulfilled. "The crooked shall be made straight." In many a domestic liic-are diilicuiues to be removed. There arc thousands of matches that arc not made in heaven. Some of the loveliest women, have been united to some of the meanest men, and some of the grandest men to the most worthless woman. There may be no sufficient causc of divorcement, but there has never been any accord. For ihcm the wedding march ought never .to haye been played. The twain divergent in sentiment, the north pole and the south pole might just as well have been married. A twist of nettles would have been more appropriate than a garland of orange blossoms. The unutterable mistake was made to please parents, or for the acquisition of estate, or for heighten ing of social position or thorough thoughtlessness. 1 call the attention of such to the rapid dissolution of families. * This thought, wiiich is a sadness to a happy marital state, might be consolatory to those unequally yoked. A very short j path is the path of life. The rolling years i will give quick emancipation. Every- j body, for discipline, must have some j kind of trouble, and that is your trouble. Put in a scr.g now and then to cheer your spirit. Make the best of things. Find in God that peace which no one else can bestow. The days and months and years are crowding past, and the last of the procession, so lar as you are concerned, will soon have gone by. Remember that sr.me of the best men and v.-omen who ever lived have had the same lifetime misfortune. They bore up under it and so can you. The expiration of the j life of one of you, will, after a while, re- \ move the aHliction. Let the oue. that remains make no hypocritical mourning at the obsequies of the one that goes or imitate those whom we have all noticed who fought- like cats and doers all their married state and then could not get organs to sound dirges doleful enough. or furnishing stores to prepare weeds black enough, or tombstone cutters to chisel epitaphs eulogistic enough. Il is a matter of congratulation that the unhappiest conjugal relations will terminate. The crooked ?iiali be made straight, in the ages of the world, when the people lived live: or six or eight or nine hundred years, such consolation for any kind of trouble would have been in ? wi->jniirimw u xwgrwi'yw^c apt. It would have brought no relief to ! some of those ohl patriarchs 1o say. i Vrvi* trill Kova rmlr Tflfi vf.^rc irtAro ??f ? this." J'ut life has been abbreviated by \ the cut-tin? off of century after century I until we can console people, whether I their trouble be financial or domestic, by j savin? it will not be lon? before the j crocked shall be made straight.

II?j Crushed the Skull una Sent a lUsllct Through the Head. Mk.m I'll; Tenn., Sept. 1H.?The funer al of Mrs. Mary J. Persons, wife of William II. Persons, one of the wealthiest men in this city, who. was supposed to have committed suicide yesterday, took place to-day. The body was en route to the cemetery, followed by a procession a mile long, when a sheriffs posse arrived and took charge of the remains. A post mortem examination was held and revealed one of the most autrocious murders ever committed. The woman's skull was crushed in three places and contained an ugly bullet wound. (Jreat excitement followed these disclosn res. The physicians who made the examination reported the case to the proper rtfi-ncrc 'i:v! !< kfiVlft/'lr .Tsulm* T^nhoso of the criminal court issued a bcncli warrant for the arrest of William II. Persons. the husband of the murdered woman. The warrant was served and the man placed in jail. Persons was seen in his cell and appeared to be a man past middie age. I/e takes iiis arrest coolly and protests his innocence, lie declares that lie will be able to prove that his wife died by her own hand. Dr. Raymond, one of the surgeons appointed to make the post mortem examination, had no hesitancy in pronouncing the woman's death one of ihe most foul murders ever perpetrated. IIer skull was crushed in three places with a blunt instrument, probably a hammer, aw! there wasa bullet hole clear through the head. lie declared that the suicide theory was bosh. The Coroner's inquest disclosed the fact that Persons and his wife have had frequent family jars. His son. a lad sixteen years old. testified that a few weeks ago his mother had discovered his father in posession of a number of letters which he* had received from another woman, and that a ft or that the two had frequent quarrels, itiul his father would often j leave horiie and remain away without j giving any reason for his absence. The Coroner's jury adjourned at a late hour until to-morrow morning. The letters referred to by the boy were placed in evidence. The Coroner proposes not to allow them to become public property for the present, but it is said that ihey disclose Person's guilt and a plot 1 set ween himself and others to remove Mrs. Persons, so that the guilty pair could enjoy themselves without her espionage. It is said thai several persons are implicated and that more arrests '. -ill follow.

Small and sailors John Denver, CharJes 3)olkarnp, Henry liichardbon and Charles Strom. Traces of the suffering eiuiured by the men were still visible. The countenance oi white-haired Captain Storei bore evidences of a suffering that even time might not assuage, for he saw his wife swept into the seething ocean which was pounding his little craft to pieces and lie powerless to make cvc-n an effort to save ht*r. it was a sunny morning ami a cheerful breeze lanm-d the sails of the Abbie Clifford whe-n she left Fern arid in a, F 1;;., on August '6 for Fort an Spain Trinidad. Lumber was stored between decks and piled up above, leaving bareroom for the yards to swing free. Mrs. storer. who much younger than her husband, was is ever sixty years old. accompanied him as she had on many previous voyages. Everything went well until the moraine of August 3U. She; was then in latitude 30 decrees, 20 seconds, and Ionitude <57 degrees, or about i'our hundred and fifty miles East of the coast of Florida and some three hundred miles West-Southwest of IJernmda. Then, without tlie slightest warning, the hurricane pounced upon the vessel, whirling her like a top upon the seas, which arose to a tremendous height. The wind came i'rom the South-Southeast. The crew managed to get the vessel before it and lor live hours she rati before the storm. She suddenly broached to at 4 p. m. and filled with water. She was almost on her beam ends, and to make matters worse the deck load of lumber broke loose and battered out the bulwarks, opening the vesel'a side planking so that the water came into the space between decks in streams. it was just before 3 o'clock when the most pathetic incident of the wreck oc curred. Ail lianas were at tne pumps working vigorously to keep the rapidly sinking craft iuloat. The rnigh'y waves washed over the vessel. Mrs. Storer stood beside her husband, who ' was trying to guide his storm-battered ship. .She was doing her best to encourage him, when a wave mightier than any that had gone before swept the deck from stem to stem. When it had passed over it was found that Mrs. Storer had been swept away with it. It also carried away the bulwarks, the forward and after houses, part of the maindeck and everything movable within its track, including the life boats. Captain storer saw his wife disappear over the side of the vessel but he was powerless to help her. There was no sign of the storm abating by the morning of Sunday, August 31. One by one the crew ventured Oiw! .ir? tuai ciuioc cum tiupease their cravings 1'or food. The poor fellows did not dream that it was the last time for four days and nights that their lips would* touch fresh water. They sought refuge on the poop and the remaining portion of the main deck and silently waited. Just before noon their worst fears were realized, for almost without warning the overtaxed vesst-1 broke into three parts, and the top of the poop deck, j which was made out oi' matched lum- j ber, lloated away with the men cling- j ing to it. J ust before the final crash came one of j the crew had secured part ofaboxofj raisins, amounting to about two quarts, and this was the ouly food on tfie raft. There was not a drop of fresh water ;?ml not. :i s:iil fonlrt ho spon on The? >. storm tossed ocean. Some oi' tlie rigging and spars of tiie j wrecked vessel lloated near the rait, and this was eagerly grasped and made j to do duty in strengthening the frail structure, which was their only hope. Captain Storer had taken charge of the raisins mhI in the morning he dealt out a l'cw to each nun for breakfast. At noon another small ration was given to each and again at six in the evening. The day's rations for each man did not amount to more than thirty raisins. Their thirst had now become almost intolerable. For four days the little company on the raft waited and watched for a sail. When their thirst became unbearable, they stripped themselves, and, as the sea had gone down, they jumped in j and swam around the little raft. The j waterfctnus ausoroeu inrouga iae pores, they said, partially relieved their terrible thirst. It was not until the morning of the fifth day that a sail was seen. It proved to be the Uritish bark Beatrice, Captain Hesse, bound from Xew York for Port au Prince, Havti, with a general cargo. She, too, had met with the storm. Her foremast was gone at the j deck and her jibboom and all attached 1 rigging carried away. She. met the I hurricane on August :>U.

The second mate was struck by a falling spar and so hurt internally that he died the next day. lie was buried at sea, and the Beatrice was trying to make the Bermudas when she sighted the rait. A boat was manned and the exhausted crew of the Abbie Clifford were i taken on board the Beatrice and eared j for. It was not until Septembor 13 that j the Beatrice made St. George, Bermuda, and she would not have reached port j then had not the steamer Britannia j towed her iu. Enforcing the Anti-Lottery Law.

The collision resulted in a f right!ul tragedy. For a time the con-: fusion was so great that even an ap-' proximate idea of the loss of life was I impossible fo obtain. The first reports ! from the police had it that forty people | pfobabiy had met death, while the ri.il- i road otVicia's said only two t?r three j persons were cerr;;irslv known to have i been killed. Wit!;in half an hour, however, four mangled corpses had been dragged out of Tht- heap of broken timbers and twisted iron that marked the spot where the collision had taken place. By this time it had aiso been ascertained that at least three people were seriously injured and .six others slightly. The collision took place near Doug-! iass Park and the victims were Sunday | excursionists just reaching the city on their way home from an afternoon's outing, The freight train crew, when questioned, asserted that they had passed Millard avenue under a clear track signal.

Her mouth was one solid ul^er, her body was broken out in sores, and she lost a beautiful head of hair. Three bottles of 13.

IT.?After five years in the Antartic seas, the whaling bark Petrel, Captain Edwin J. Reed, is once more in port. Captain Reed says that while off Patagonia several months ago a gale came up from off the shore, during which large quantities of tine white powder came on the ship, choking those who inhaled it. Zsext day one of the crew was taken sick and "his feet began to swell. The swelling continued until his whole body was effected. One after another of the crew was similarly taken, until thirty-four had the disease. Each swelled to almost twice his usual size and the flesh assumed a yellowish hue. With nine men mortification set in and they died. Two others of the crew were washed overboard in the gale and drowned. Physicians here report the epidemic as beri beri.
