'"MakTn^TJpT7" Was it ail a mistake? Ah, fold your arms olosor, And press my head nearer your breast; For my train has grown weary with thinking and weeping, And my tad heart is long'ng for reit. Was it all a mistake when within yout dear hand You olnspet mine with <|uickcning breath, And vowed before God that, forsaking all others, You would love me and keep me till death? Was it all a mistake? Is there anyone dearer, For whom your man's heart orics aloud? Is there any sweet *hope lying dea l in your bosom, That your marriage vow hides like a shroud? Was it all a mistake when 1 thought 1 could cheer you, And brighten your pathway through life? Do you dream of a faco that is fairer than my fact? Of a name that is dearer than wife? Was it all a mistake? Arc you longing for freedom? Ah, 1 pray that release may he near, That Death e arm may take me and bear me to heaven, To await?whit was that? Not a tear! Ah, my own, you are weeping! You're sorry y ou said it; 'Twas auger that made those words fall. Then take me yourself, dear, and don't lot death hnvo me, For 1 don't want to die after all. TALMAQEJ SERMON. Shows How the Evening of Life May be Brightened, Whilo this discourso of Dr. Talmago robukos arroganco it onoourogoa humanity and hIiowb how tho ovoning of lifo may bo brightonod. Tho toxt is I Kings xx, 11, "Lit not him that girdoth on his harnosi b"&t himsolt as ho that puttoth it off." Harness is tho obBoloto word for armor. It means harncrs for tho man, not harness for tho beast; harness for battlo, not harness for tho plow. Tho anoiont armor oonsistod of helmet for the hoad, broastplato and shield for tho hoart, groaves for tho foot. Tho text makos a comparison botwoon r man enlisting fc: soiuo war and a votoran roturniDg, tho one putting on the aimor and tho other putting it off. llenhadad, tho hing of Syria, thought ho oould easily overcome the king of Israel. Indeed, tho Syrian was so puto of the victory that ho spread an ante bollum banquot. With thirty-two kings ho was eolcbrating what tlioy were go ing to do. Thcro wcro in aH thirtythree kings at thooarousal, and their condition is described in tho Bible, not as oonvivtl cr stimulated exaltation, but drunk. Thoit g'ldcd and bannered pavilions woro surroundod by high mottled homos, neighing and olamping and hitohod to ohaiiots such as kings rodo in. Bonhadad sends oflfiocrs over to tho king of Israol demanding the surrender of the oity, saying, "Thou bait dolivormo thy silvor and thy gold and thy wives and thy ohildron," and aftorward sonds other efhaom, saying that the palace of the kiDg will bo searched and everything Bonhadad wants he will take without asking. Then tho king of Israel caliod a oounc 1 of war, and word is sent back to Bcohadod that his unroasonable demand will bo resisted. Thon Bonhadad souds anothcr'messago to thokiig of Israel, a mossago full ol arroganoo and bravado, practically saying: "Wo will do stroy you utterly. 1 will grind Sauiaria into tho dust, but thoro will uot bo dust enough to make a handful for oaoh one of my troops " Then tho king of lsraol ropliod to Bonhadad, praoiioally say ing: "Lot mo boo you do what you Bay. You royal braggart, you might better havo postponed your bat, q lot until after the battlo instead of spreading it beforo tbo battlo. You huzza too goon. 'Lot not bim that girdoth on his harncBB boast himsolf as ho that putteth it off." An avalanohe of oourago and right eousnoss, tho Israolitish army oamo down on Bonhadad and his host. It was a hand to hand light, osoh Israelite hewing down a Syrian. Bjnhadcd, on horscbaok, gets away with somo of the oavalry, but is only saved for a worse defeat, in whioh 100,000 Syrian infantry wore slaughtered in ono day. Now we sco tho saroasm and tho opigrammatio power of tho moBsage of my text sent by tbo king of Israel to Bonhadad, "Let not him that girdoth on his harness boast himself as ho that puttcth it off." All up and down history wo sec suoh too early boasting. Soult, tho marshal of Franco, was so oertain that he would conquer that ho had a proclamation printed announoing himself king of Portugal and had a grand feast pro pared for 4 o'olock that afternoon, but beforo that hour he Hod in ignominious defeat, and Wellington of tho conquering host sat down at 4 o'olook at tho VflTV h*nnnflt nf Wr*nnn bad ordorod for himself. Charles V. invaded Franco and was so euro of eonquest that ho rcquoatod JL'aul Jovius, the historian, to gather togcthor a large amount of paper on whioh to write tho story of his many viotorios, but diseaso and famino seized upon his troopers, and ho letrcated in dismay. Bo Bonhadad's behavior has been oopied in all ages of the world. It will bo my objoot, among other lessons, to show that ho who puts off the armor, having finished tho battle, is more to be oongratulatcd than ho who begins. First, I find enooursgemont in this aubjoot for the aged who have got through the work and struggle of earth ly life. My venerable friends, if you had at twenty-fivo years of age full ap preoiation of what you would have to go through in the thirties and tho for ties and the fifties of your life time you would have been appailod. Fortunately the bereavomonts, the temptations, the perseoutions, the hardships, were curtained from your eight. With more or less fortitude ycu passed through the orieis of pain and sadness and disappointment and fatiguo and still livo to reoount the divino help that austainod you. At twenty or thirty yoars of your age at the tap of tho drum you put on the harness. Now, at sixty or sevonty or eighty, you aro peaoofully putting it off. You would not want to try tho battle of live over again. Bo many of just your temperament and with as A good ? starting and as fine a parenitsge nr.fc want again to run tbo rickj. Though vou oan look back and coo many mistake*, tbo next time you might mako worse in'fttakf ?. Ins'eai of Doing doom*scd ov-t tbo fait that yru arc boiDg v mo'cd out or omitted in tbo groat undertakings of thooburch ar.d the wor d rrjiioj that you hav> * right to hang up your bclmot and shcatho your sword and froo your bands from tbo gauotlots aod your foot ftotn tbo boots of mail. There aro o'd farmers who cannot do ono more day's work. What harvests they raised in 1870! They kD^w tho rotation of crops as well as th^y know tbo rotation of tbo seasons.

They havo stopped proaohiog, for thoir breath is short, or their nerves aro a Jargle, or thoy lo?o thoir throad of discourse or sutler from confusion of idoas. Cheer up. agod doruinirs and dootcrs. Tbo MidJo says God for tots our sins when wo repent of them, but ho never forgets faithful ootvioc rendered. lie remembers ll>At revival where you etcod watching the souls that oainc "as olouds and as dovoi to tho windows." Ho has indicated by your physioal or montal condition that it is time for you to 3top. Ho content to stop. Your helmet bcirs tho mirk of many a battlcax; your swi rd is bent from many a holy struggle; your shield is dented with the tnuH :f many a spear. Now hang up tho armor with gladnors. Do Dot boast of your moral strength. Oao of tho most brilliant men of tho ninotoccth oontury, having temporarily reformed from inobrisoy, stood on tho platform of Broadway t&bcrnacV, New York, and said, "VVero this groat globe ono orystallito and I were off mod tho possession of it if I wou'd drink ono glaso of brandy I would rtfu?o with soorn, and I want no rel:g on to help mr>." lint tll?t H*'Tin ?r? ? n Aii.A ?t Poughkccpsio a drunken pauper. Pet tor undcrrato thau ovcrra'o oursrlycH. My Rubj -ot in also a rofu'ationof the famous sentiment that Gcd is on tho sido of the heaviest artillory. From r 11 I can read about thh struggle Bouhadad aroko tho truth when bo said, "Tho gods do po unto ae and moro alao if tho aust of SatDi.ria shall pufhoe for handful for all tho people tha' follow :11c." Ho was bo oor H lent that with hia iu pcrior numbers he oould dofcat tho king of lpraol and oaptu.ro Sato*ria that ho loft tho work for a short cficmoon. Ho is at uoon in Wassail with his royal assooiatos. The battlo of Waterloo was not opened until twonty live minutos of 12 o olootc at uoon, but that was beoauso tho ground was too wot to rnov j the artillory. Bouhadad waits until afternoon booaueo ho is ovorooufidont. God is not on tho sido of tho most swoidi or tho most war chariots or tho most cannon if thoy bo in tho tho wrong, but on tho sido of tho light. How cuoh a prcpOBtorou* sentiment as 1 havo mentioned should, havo gained sway 1 know not whon all history proclaims tho oppos'to. Describing tho very next battlo in wbiob Honhadad fought and was miserably defeated, the Hibio says, 'Tho ohildrcn of Israol pitohsd before them like two little Hooks of kids, but tho Syrians tolled the country." How insignificant woro tho un arinod lsraolitos, half starved and untrgauizod, compared with Pnaraoh's host on foot, on horaobac<k and ohaiiotedl But thn wftvrs nf tlin It. <1 took part in tho oodIIioI, parting to lot tho pursued pass, but oooiing togot'ior to doatroy the pursuers.
