In the Embury Memorial Church, Brooklyn, a large audience listened to the annual sermon o.f Chaplain T. De Witt Talmage, oi the Thirteenth Regiment, N. G. 8. N. Y. The membera of the rejjiment occupied the body of the church. Dr. Talmage chose for his subject '-The Greatest Soldier of All Time," the text being: "There shall not any Liiiin ut> a jib iu siauu neiore tnee an ine aaya of thy life."?Joshua i.. 5. The "gallant Thirteenth," as this regiment is generally and appropriately called, has gathered to-night for the worship oi Sod and to hear the annual sermon. And first I look with hearty salutation into the Faces of the veterans, who, though now not In active service, have the same patriotic and military enthusiasm '.wnich characterized :hem when, in 1863, they bade farewell to Lome and loved ones and started for the field and risked all they held dear on earth for the re-establishment of the falling United states Government. "All that a man hath trill he give for his life," and you showed yourselves willing to give your lives. We lail you! "We thank you! We bless you. the veterans of the Thirteenth. Nothing can ;ver rob you of the honor of having been soldiers in one of the most tremendous wars )f all history, a war with Grant and Sherman ind Hancock and Sheridan and Farragut on )ne side, and Lee and Stonewall Jackson and Longsireet and Johnston on the other. As in Greek assemblages, when speakers irould arouse the audience, they shouted 'Marathon!" so if I wanted to stir you to aoslamation I would only nsed to speak the vords, "Lookout Mountain," "Chancellorsrille," "Gettysburg." And though through he passage of years you are forever free 'rom duty of enlistment, if European nations should too easily and too quickly forget the Monroe doctrine and set aggressive foot upon nis continent 1 tMnK your anties wouia De lupple again, and your arms would grow itrong again, and your eyes would be keen inough to follow the stars of the old flag wherever they might lead. And next I srreet the colonel and his staff, ind all the officers and men of this regiment, it has been an eventful year in your history. 1 never before, Brooklyn appreciates somtv hingofthe value of its armories, and the mportanee of the Imen who there drill for he defense and safety of the city. The (lessing of God be upon all of you, my comadea of the Thirteenth Regiment! And ooking about for a subject that might be nost helpful and inspiring for you, and our veterans here assembled, and the citizens gathered to-night with tneirgood wi9hes, I lave concluded t>) hold up before you the :reatest soldier of all time?Joshua the hero if my text. He was a magnificent fighter, but he always fought on the right side, and he never ought unless God told him to fight. In my ext he gets his military equipment and one rould think it must have been plumed helaet for the brow, greaves of brass for the eet, habergeon for the breast. "There shall lot any man be able to stand before thee all h? Hnva nt thv lifo " "Oh " vrm sav. "anv. tody could have courage with such a backng up as that." Why, my friends, I have to ell you that the God of the universe and the Jhieftain of eternity promises to do just as auch for us as for him. All the resources of ternity are pledged in our behalf, if we go iut in the service of God, and no more than hat was offered to Joshua. God fulfilled this romise of my text, although Joshua's first attle was with the spring freshet, and the iext with a stone wall, and the next leading n a regiment of whipped cowards, and the lext battle against darkness, wheeling the un and the moon into his battalion, and the ist against the king of terrors, death?tve xeat victories. For the most part, when the general of an rmy starts out in a conflict he would like o have a small battle in order that be may get is courage up and he may rally his troops nd get them drilled for greater conflicts, ut this first undertaking of Joshua was reater than the leveling of Fort Pulaski, or he thundering down of Gibraltar, or the verthrow of the Bastile. It was the crossing f the Jordan at the time of the 6pring reshet. The snows of Mount Lebanon had list been melting, and they poured down uto the valley, and the whole valley was a aging torrent. So the Canaanites stand on ne bank, and they look across and see oshua and the Israelites, and they laugh nd say: "Aha! aha! They cannot disturb is until the freshets fall. It is impossible or them to reach us." But after awhile they aok across the water, and they see a moveient in the army of Joshua. Tiiey say: 'What's the matter now? Why, there must e a panic among these troops, and they are oing to fly, or perhaps they are going to ry to march across the river Jordan. Joshua s a lunatic." But Joshua, the chieftain of he text, looks at his army and cries, "Forward, march!" and they start for tlie bank f the Jordan. One mile ahead go two priests, carrying a littering box four feet long and two feet Tirlo Tt ia tho nrlr nf thft pftvenant And hey come down, and no sooner do they ust toueh the rim of the water with their eet than by an almighty flat Jordan parts, 'he army of Joshua marches right on withut getting their feet wet over the bottom of he river, a path of chalk and broken shells nd pebbles, until they getto the other bank, 'hen they lay hold of the oleanders and amarisks and willows and pull themselves tp a bank thirty or forty feet high, and havng gained the other bank they clap their hields and their cymbals and sing the iraises of the God of Joshua. But no sooner have they reached the bank (ian the waters begin to dash and roar, and pith a terrific rush they break loose from heir strange anchorage. Out yonder they lave stopped; thirty mile3 up yonder they lalted. On this side the waters roll off oward the salt sea. But as the hand of the jord God is taken away from the thus upifted waters?waters perhaps uplifted half a aile?as the Almighty hand is taken away hose waters rush down, and some of the unelieving Israelites say: "Alas, alas, what a lisfortune! Why, could not those waters tave stayed parted? Because, perhaps, we nay want to go back. Oh, Lord, we are en?ged in a risky business. Those Canaanites nay eat us up. How if we want to go back? Vould it not have been a more complete airacle if the Lord had parted the waters to it us come through and kept them parted 0 let us go back if we are defeated?" 3dy riends, God makes no provision for a Christian's retreat. He clears the path 11 the way to Canaan. To go back is to die. 'he same gatekeepers that swing back the methystine and crystalline gate of the ordan to let Israel pass through now swing hut the amethystine and crystalline gate of he Jordan to keep the Israelites from going ack. I declare it in your hearing to-day. ictory ahead, water forty feet deep in the ear. Triumph ahead, Canaan ahead; beiind you death and darkness and woe and lell. But you say, "Why didn't those 'anaanites, when they had such a splendid hance?standing on the top of the bank hirty or forty feet high?completely deoolish those poor Israelties down in the iver?" I will tell you why. God had made t promise, and He was going to keep it. 'There Khali not auv man be able to stand wfore th?-e all the days of thy life." But this is no place for the host to stop, oshua gives the command, "Forward, ijarch!"

The horn of the slain ram was ometimes takeu and holes were imnctuied n it, and then the musiciau would put the astrument to his lips, and he would run his lngers over this rude musical instrument, and nake a great deal of sweet harmony for the jeople. That was the only kind of weapon, seven priests were to take these rudo rustic nusioal instruments, and they were to go iround the city every day for sis days?once i day for six days, and then on the seventh lay they were "to go around blowing these ude musical instruments seven times, and hen at the close of the seventh blowing of he rams' horns on the seventh day the proration of the whole scene was t? be h ihout, at which those great walls should umbla from capstone to base.

The health and ength of the animal are, according popular notions, indicated by the jistfanee the tail ofifers to manual inference and by the way in which it 3arried.

A. fidgety horse usually has tho tail, c i?Lie in uiouou } wuen out to kick, the tail is drawn downed between the legs; when the aniil is fatigued or exhausted then it is ooping and frequently tremulous; d with some horses, when gallopj, it is swung about in a circular inner or lashed from side to side, tere can scarcely be any doubt also at, like the tail of birds, it assists in e horse's movements, as when the imal is galloping in a small circle, rapidly turning round a coiner, it curved to the inner side.

( While splitting wood near his boat q house at the foot of Loughborough avenue, yesterday afternoon, "Driftwood Pete" made a lucky strike of the ax, which put him in possession of nearly 8*00 in gold. He was pound- Qut ing away at the hollow log, when the eye ax cut through and struck some metallic substance, which proved to gej( be an iron pot tight sealed. With eager haste he broko the top, and to te0j his delight gold coin came rolling out. Upon counting the coins they ?Qjj amounted to $400. The pot had been jgn incased in the log apparently for a ^ j ; great number of years, and it is ^ thought to have been hidden in the ^we tree during the war. Where the tree ^ came from will probably never be ^ , known. It had been felled somewhere , up 'the river, and drifted along with 1 , the current to yield its treasure to . "Driftwood Pete."
