TALK AGES ?Kftft?ii. Dr. Talaiag? Arraigns People Who Livo Boyond Their Mean?. In thia disoouruo Dr. Talmago shows tho oauaoa of tho groat tinanoial dis? turbanooa whioh tako plaeo evory fow yours and arraigns tho pooplo who livo boyond their mo ??B; toxt, Jeremiah xvii, ll, "Au the partridgo sitteth on eggs and hatehoth thom not, so ho that (ettoth riohos, and not by right, shall oavo them in tho midst of bis daya and at his ond bhall bo a fool." Allusion is hore mado to a woll known faot in natural history. If a partridgo or a quail or a robin brood tho eggs of anothor spooios, tho young will not stay with tho ono that happonod to brood thom, but at tho first opportuni ty will assort with thoir own spooios. Those of us who havo boon brought up in the oountry havo soon tho dismay of the farmyard hon, having brooded aquatic fowls, whon aftor awhilo thoy iutnblo into thoir natural olomont, tho wator. So my ?ext suggests that a man may gather undor his wings tho proporty of others, but it will aftor awhile osoapo. It will loavo tho man in a eorry prodioamont and mako him fcol vory Billy. What haB oausod all tho blaok days of financial diaastors of tho last GO ' y oars? Somo say it is tho orodit sys tom. Smoothing baok of that. Somo Bay it is tho spirit of gambling ovor and anon boooming opidomio. Somothing baok of that. Somo say it is tho Buddon Bhiinkago in the valuo of soouritics, which ovon tho most honost and intel ligent mon could not havo forosoon. Somothing baok of that. I will givo you tho primal causo of all those dis turbances. It is tho oxtravaganoo ot modern Booioty whioh impols a man to ?pond moro money than ho oan hon estly make, and ho ?eos into wild speculation in ordor to got tho moans for inordinate display, and somolimos tho man is to bl anio and aomotimos his wifo and oftonor both. Five thousand, dollars in como, $10,000, $20,000 in oomo, is not enough for a man to koop up tho stylo of living ho propones, and thoroforo ho ?toora his bark toward tho maelstrom. Other mon have suddenly Bnatohod up $50,000 or $100,000. Why not ho? Tho prosont inoomo of tho man not hoing largo enough, ho must movo oarth and holt to oatoh up with hia noighborB. . Othors havo a oountry Boat; so must ho. Othors havo nn ex travagant oat?ror; BO must he. Othors have a palatial residence; so must ho, Extravaganoo is tho oauso of all tho defalcations of tho last 00 years, and, if - you will go through tho history of all tho groat panios and tho great tinanoial disturbances, no soonor havo you found Av tho story than right baok of it you will find tho story of how many bersos tho man had, how many onrriagos tho man had, how many roeidonoos in tho ooun try tho man had, how many banquots the man gave-always, and not ono ox ooption for thc last 60 years, oithor < dirootly or indirectly oxtravaganoo thc CMUQO. < Now for tho ologanooB and the rob no ni on ta and tho decorations of lifo.
