BELSHAZZAR S FEAST
REV. DR. TALMAGE PREACHES ON THE
HANDWRITING ON THE WALL.
Lena 0 * 1 " From a Banquet of Sin—The Sud-
denu'**' of God’a Judgment!.—A Word of
Warnitiii—An Eclr> of tho Text.
Washington, Nov. 10.—Siuco his
coming lo Washington Dr. Tulmago’s
pulpit oxpciicnce has been a romarkahle
ouo. Not only has tho church in which
he preaches boon filled, but tho audiences
have overflowed into tho adjoining
streets to an extent that has rendered
them impassable. Similar scenes were
enacted at today’s services, when the
preacher took for his subject, “Hand
writing on tho Wall,” tho text chosen
being Daniel v, >, “In that night was
Belshazzar, the king of tho Chaldeans,
slain.”
Night was about to eomo down on
Babylon. The shadows of her 250 tow
ers began to lengthen. Tho Euphrates
rolled on, touched by the fiery splendors
of the setting sun, and gates of brass,
burnished and glittering, opened and
shut like doors of flame. Tho hanging
gardens cf Babylon, wet with the heavy
dew, began to pour from starlit flowers
aud dripping h af a fragrance for many
miles around. The streets and squares
were lighted for dance and frolic aud
promenade. Tho theaters and galleries
of art invited the wealth and pomp and
grandeur of tho city to rare entertain
ments. Scenes of riot and wassail were
mingled in every street, and godless
mirth and outrageous excess and splen
did wickedness came to the king’s palace
to do their mighth .-t (R eds of darkness.
A royal feast tonight at tho king’s
palacet Rushing up to the gates are
chariots, upholstered with precious
cloths from Dedan, and drawn by lire
eyed horses from Togarmnh, that rear
and neigh in tho grasp of tho charioteers,
while a thousand lords dismount, and
women, dvi s od in all tho splendors of
Syrian emerald, and tho color blending
of agate, and tho obasleuess of coral,
and the somber glory of Tyrian purple
and princely embroid' lies, brought from
afar by camels across the desert and by
ships of Tarshish across tho sea.
Tiio Guests Assemble.
Open wide the garos and let the guests
come in. Tho chamberlains and cup
bearers are all ready. Hai k to the rustic
of tho silks, and to the carol of tho
music! Hee, tho blaze of tho jewels! Lift
the banners. Fill tho cups. Clap tho
cymbals. Blow the trumpets. Let tho
night go by with s ong and dance and
ovation, and let that Babylonish tongue
bo palsied that will not say, “O King
Belshazzar, live forever!”
Ah, my friends, it was not any com
mon banquet to which those great peo
ple came! All parts of tho earth had
sent their richest viands to that table.
Brackets aud chandeliers flashed their
light upon tankards of burnished gold.
Fruits, ripe and luscious, in baskets of
silver, entwined with leaves, plucked
from royal conservatories. Vases, inlaid
with emerald and ridged with exquisite
traceries, tilled with nuts that were
threshed from forests of distant lands.
Wine brought from tho royal vats, foam-
iuK'in thi weanters aud bubbling in the
’chalices. Tofts of cassia and frankin
cense wafting their sweetness from wall
and table, (iorgeous banners unfolding
in the breeze that came through tho open
window, bewitched with the perfumes
of hanging gardens. Fountains rising up
from iuelusures of ivory, in jets of crys-
f-B
1 of diamonds
.y iii^ii look*
and pearls, biaiueava u.
iug down from niches in tho wall upon
crowns and shields brought from sub
dued empires. Idols of wonderful work
standing on pedestals of precious stones.
Embroideries stooping about the win-
r! v.s and w: qiping pillars of cedar and
drifting on tloor inlaid with ivory and
agate. Music, mingling the thrum of
harps, and tho cl .sh of cymbals, and the
blast of trnnipi ts in one wave of trans
port that went rippling along tho wall
and breathing among the garlands aud
pouring down tho corridors, and thrill
ing the souls of a thousand banqueters.
The signal is given, and tho lords aud
ladies, the mighty men and women of
the land, eomo mound tho table. Pour
out tho wine. Lei foam and bubble kiss
the rim! Hoist everyone his cup and
drink to tho sentiment, “O King Bel
shazzar, live forever!” Bestarred head-
band and carcanct of royal beauty gleam
to tho uplifted chalices, as again, and
again, and again they are emptied.
Away with care from the palace! Tear
royal dignity to tatters! Pour ont more
wine! Give us more light, wilder music,
sweeter perfume! Lord shouts to lord,
captain ogles to captain. Gobli ts clash;
decanters rattle. There come in tho ob
scene song, and the drunken hiccough,
and tho slavering lip, and tho guffaw of
idiotic laughter, bursting from tho lips
of princes, Unshed, reeling bloodshot,
while mingling with it all I hear,
“Huzza, huzza, for great Belshazzar!”
Seen on the Wall.
What is that on the plastering of tho
wall? Is it a spirit? Is it a phantom? Is
it God? The music stops. The goblets
fall from tho nerveless grasp. There is a
thrill. There isastart. There is a thou*
sand voiced shriek of horror. Lot Daniel
be brought in to read that writing. Ho
comes in. Ho reads it, “Weighed in tho
balance and found wanting.”
Meanwhile tho Modes, who for two
years hud been laying siege to that city,
took advantage of that carousal and
came in. I hear tho feet of tho conquer
ors on tho palace stairs. Massacre rushes
in with a thousand gleaming knives.
Death hursts upon tho scene, and I shut
tho door of that banqueting hall, for I
do not want to look. There is nothing
there but torn banners, and broken
wreaths, and tho slush of upset tankards,
and tho blood of mmdored women, and
the kicked and tumbled carcass of u
dead king. For “in that night was
Belshazzar, the king of tho Chaldeans,
■laia."
1 no on to learn some lessons from all
tfeie learn that when God writes any
thing on the wall a man had better read
it as it is. Daniel did not misinterpret
or modify the handwriting on tho wall.
It is all foolishness to expect a minister
of Hie gospel to preach always things
that tho people like or tlie people choose.
Yt ung men of Washington, what shall
I preach to you tonight? Shall I tell you
cf the dignity of human nature? Shall
I tell you cf (ho wonders that our race
has a complished? “Oh, no,” you say.
“Tell me the me -age that came from
God.” 1 will. Ii thcio is any handwrit
ing on t!i(' wall, it is this h son: “Re
pent! Accept of Christ and bo saved!”
i might talk of a great many other
thing.!, but that is tho message, aud so
I declare it. Jesus never flattered those
to whom ho preached. He said to those
who did wrong and who were offensive
in his sight: “Ye generation of vipers!
Ye whited sepulchers! How can ye es
cape tho damnation of hell!” Paul the
apo; tie preached before a man who was
u< J i eady to hear him preach. What sub
ject did ho take? Did ho say, “Oh, you
are a good man, a very fine man, a very
noble man?” No. Ho preached of right
eousness to a man who was unright
eous, of temperance to a man who
was a victim of bad appetites, of tho
judgment to eomo to a man who was
unfit for it. So we must always declare
the message that happens to come to us.
Daniel must read it as it is. A minister
preached before Janus 1 of England,
who was James VI of Scotland. What
subject did he take? Tho king was noted
all over tho world for being unsettled
and wavering in his ideas. What did the
minister preach about to this man who
was James I of England and James VI
cf Scotland? Ho took for his text James
i, (>: “Ho that waveroth is like a
wave of the sea driven with tho wind
and tossed.” Hugh Latimer offended
the king by a sermon he preached, and
tho king said, “Hugh Latimer, eomo
and apologize.” “I will,” raid Hugh
Latimer. iSo thoday was appointed, and
the king's chapel was full of lords and
dukes and the mighty men ami women
of tho country, for Hugh Latimer was
to apologize. Ho began his sermon by
saying: “Hugh Latimer, bethink thee!
Thou art in tho prose ncoof thine earthly
king, who can destroy thy body. But
bethink thee, Hugh Latina r, that thou
art in the presence of the' king of heaven
aud earth, who can destroy both body
and soul in hell lire.” Then ho preached
with appalling directness at tho king’s
crimes.
A GlieiHlly I*ati<jii<U.
Another lesse.n that comes to us to
night—there is a great difference be-
wee n the opening of tho banquet of sin
mid its close. Young man, if you had
looked in upon tho banquet in the first
few hour i, you would have wished you
had been invited there and could sit at
the feast. “Oh, the grandeur of Dol-
shazzar’s feast !” you would have said,
hut you look in at the close of the ban
quet aud your blood curdle :; with hor
ror. The king of terrors ha; thcio a
ghasTlie r 1 anqnct. Human blood is tho
wine and dying groans are the music.
Kin has made itself a king in the earth.
It has ciowned itself. It has spread a
hanepret. It invites all tho world to
come, to it. It has hung in its banquet
ing hall the spoils e.f all kingdoms and
the banners < f all nations. It lias gath
ered from all music. It lias s.iev.n from
its wealth tho tables and floors and
arehi s. And yet how nfli n is that ban
quet broken up and h. w horrible is its
end! live r and amn tlauv i.-; a handwrit
ing < n the wall. A king falls. A great
culprit isanrste d. The- knees of w icked
ness knock teige thcr. < Joel's judgment,
like* an armed be st, brakes in upon tho
banquet, and that night is Belshazzar, :
the', king eJ the Chaldeans, slain.
Here is a young man who says: “I i
cannot see why the-y make such a fuss
abend the inteixicating cup. Why, it is
exhilarating! It make’!; me feel well. I
can talk better, think better, feel better.
I cannot s< o why people have such a
ptejudie’e against it.” A few jears pass
on, anel lie wale s up and finels himself
in tiie clutches e f an evil habit which
lie trie s ter break, hut cannot, and ho
cries out, “O Lend (led, helpMo!” It
see ms as though God we iddiiol hear his
praye r, and in an ag. iy ef heiely and
semi ho cries out, "It biteth like a ser
pent, and it stingeth like an adder.”
How bright it was at the start! How
black it was at tho last!
Hero is a man who begins to read
loose novels. "They are sei charming,”
he says. “I will ge» out and see feir my
self whether all theso things are so. ”
He opens the gate of a sinful life. Ho
goes in. A sinful sprite! meets him with
her wand. She waves her wand, and it
is all enchantment. Why, it seems as if
the angels of Goel had poured out vials
of perfume in tho atmosphere. As ho
walks em ho finds (lie hills becoming
more radiant with foliage and the
ravines more resonant with tho falling
water. Oh, what a charming landscape
ho sees! But that sinful sprite, with her
wand, meets him again, hut now she re
verses tho wand, and all the enchant
ment is gone. Tho cup is full of poison.
Tho fruit turns to ashes. All tho leaves
of tho bower are forked tougnos of hiss
ing serpents. Tho flowing fountains fall
hack in a doad pool stenchful with cor
ruption. Tho luring songs become curses
and screams of demoniac laughter. Lost
spirits gather about him and fool for his
heart aud beckon him on with “Hail
brother! Hail, blasted spirit, hail!”
Ho tries to get out. Ho comes to tho
front door where ho entered and tries to
push it back, but tho door turns against
him, and in the jar of that shutting door
he hears theso words, “This night is
Belshazzar, tho king of tho Chaldeans,
slain.” Bin may open bright us tho
morning. It ends dark us tho night!
An ruux|><!ct<!il Visitor.
1 learn further from this subject that
death sometimes breaks in upon a ban
quet. Why did he not go down to tho
prisons in Babylon? There were people
there that would like to have died. I
suppose there were men and women in
torture in that city who would have
welcomed death, hut lie comes to tho
palace, aud just at the time when tho
mirth is dashing to the tiptop pitch,
death breaks in at tho banquet. Wo have
the same thing illustrated,
y. ung man just come from
He
is loving.
Ho
often seen
Here is a
college. Ho is kind,
is enthusiastic. He is eloquent. By one
spring lie may bound to heights toward
which many men have been struggling
for years. A prclossion opens before
him. Ho is established in tho law. His
friends cheer him. Eminent men en
courage him. After awhile you may see
him standing in the American senate or
moving a popular assemblage by his elo
quence, ns trees are moved in a whirl
wind. Some night ho retires early. A
fever is on him. Delirium, like a reck
less charioteer, seizes tho reins of his
intellect. Father and mother stand by
ami si o tho tides cf his life going out to
tho great ocean. The banquet is coming
to au end. Tho lights of thought and
mirth and eloquence are being extiu-
guished. The garlands are snatched from
tho brow. Tho vision is gone. Death ut
tho banquet!
Wo saw tho same thing on a larger
scale illustrated in our civil war. Our
whole nation had been sitting at a na
tional banquet—north, south, east aud
west. What grain was there but we
grew it on our hills? What invention
was there but our rivers must turn tho
new wheel and rattlo tho strango shut
tle? What warm furs but our traders
must bring them fivni tho arctic? What
li.sh hut our nets must sweep them for
tho markets? What music but it must
sing in our halls? What eloquence but
it must speak in our senates? Ho, to the
national banquet, reaching from moun
tain to mountain and from : ca to seal
To prepare that banquet, the sheepfolds
and the aviaries of tho country sent their
best treasures. The orchards piled upon
tho table their sweet fruits. The presses
burst out with now wines. To sit at that
table came tho yeomanry of New Hamp
shire, and tho lumbermen cf Maine, and
the Carolinian from the rice plantation,
and tho western emigrant from tho
pines < f Oregon, and we were all broth
er.-—brothers at a banquet. Suddenly
tho least ended. What meant those
mounds thrown up at Chiekamauga,
Shiloh, Altauta, Gettysburg, South
Mountain? What meant those golden
grainlichls turned into a pasturing
ground for cavalry horses? What meant
tho cornfields gullied with the wheels of
tho heavy supply train? Why thoso
rivers of tears—thoso lakes of blood?
God was angry! Justice must come. A
handwriting <n tho wall! The nation
had been v.» ighod and found wanting.
Darkness! Darkness! Woo to the north!
Woo to tho south! Woe to tho east! Woo
to tho west! Death at the banquet.
Sure and Sudden.
I have also to learn from tho subject
that t!.o destruction of the vicious aud
of thoso who despise God will ho very
sudden. The wave of mirth had dashed
to tho highest point when the invading
army broke through. It was unexpected.
Suddenly, almost always, comes tho
doom of those who despise God aud defy
tl.o laws cf men. How was it at tho
deluge ? Do you suppose it came through
a long northeast storm, so that people
for days before were sure it was coming?
No. I suppose the morning was bright;
that calmness brooded on tho waters;
that beauty sat enthroned on tho hills,
when suddenly tho heavens burst and
the mountains sank like anchors into
the si a that dashed clear over tho Andes
and tho Himalayas.
Tho Red sea was divided. Tho Egyp
tians tried to cross it. There could bo
no danger. Tho Israelites had just gouo
of tho words of tho text: “In that night
was Belshazzar, the king of tho Chal
deans. slain.”
Oh, that my Lord Jesus would now
make himself so attractivo to your souls
that you cannot resist him, and if you
havo never prayed befero or have not
prayed since those days when you knelt
down at your mother’s knee, then that
tonight yon might pray, saying:
Just r.s I mi, without <<no plea
But that thy lluoil v.::< hed for me
And.that thou bidrt me come to thee,
O Lamb cf God, I eomo!
But if you cannot think of so long a
prayer as that, I will give you a shorter j
prayer that you can say, "God bo mer
ciful to me, a sinner!” Or, if you can
not thin!: of so long a prayer as that,
I will give you a still shorter ono that
you may utter, “Lord savo me or I per
ish !” Or, if that be too long a prayer,
you need not make it. Use tho word
“help!” Or, if that he too long a word,
you need net use any word at all. Just •
look and live!
A Born Artist.
Sir Frederic Leightc n has confided to
a contributor to The Young Woman tho
story of how he came to he an artist.
In his youth painting was not consider- i
ed respectable, and Kir Frederic’s par
ents shared, in somo degree, in that
strange prejudice, but during a sojourn
in Florence, when he was about 11 years
of age, tho lad prevailed on his father
to submit the question of his future pro
fession to Mr. Hiram Powers, tho celo-
brated American sculptor. Ho said to
Mr. Leighton, “Let me havo a portfolio
of your son’s drawings, and if you will
call on mo* at the end of n week I will
give you au opinion of them.”
“It was an anxious time for me,”
says Sir Fn deric. “I remember so well
tho afternoon on which my father went
to see Hiram Powers to receive tho
momentous verdict 1 sat down to my
anatomical studies as the best menus of
passing away the time. Then came tho
sound of wheels on the gravel outside,
aud 1 threw down my work and ran to j
tho window. When father stepped from
thocan iago ho was looking so pleased
that 1 fi lt tare that ho had brought good
nows. ”
“Is 1 hero reason to expect, Mr. Pow
ers?” his father had asked, “that my
sou would attain to eminence if he fol
lowed tho profession of an artist?”
“Sir,” was tho reply, “your sou may
be as eminent as ho chooses.” “Then
you ih.uk,” pressed Mr. Leighton,
“that 1 should make an artist of my
sou?” “That, sir,” was the reply, “it
is cut of your power to do; nature has
done it for you.” An artist of less un
questionable modi sty than tho president
of the lh ya 1 academy might havo shrunk
from relating an anecdoto so eminently
suggestive cf predestined di tiuctiou.—

Adulterated CofiVo In Fn Eland. •
Coffee has long been a favorite sub
stance for adulteration, and it is thought
by seme that this fact has told consid
erably against any increase in the sale
of tho 11 verage. Ono interesting experi
ment rputen of by the honorahlo secre
tary of the Coffee association of Loudon
may bo referred to:
“Komo years ago a lot of samples of
coffee were collected by different clerks
of a city firm in different parts of Lon
don, and were analyzed by Dr. Paul,
with a n suit that astonished us. There
were -Iff samples collected, and M. Pas-
. ” i A
' "r
O' IK,. • \
-s*?r3ggE5S5ai
teur made the following note: ‘The av-
through. Where they had gone, why not erago proportion of coffee in tho above
the Egyptians? Oh, it was such a beau- 43 samples is just off per cent, with 50
tiful walking place! A pavement cf
tinged shells and pearls, and on either
side two great walls of water—solid.
There can ho no danger. Forward, great
host of the Egyptians! Clap tho cymbals
and blow the trumpets of victory ! After
them ! Wo will catch them yet, and they
shall he destroyed. But the walls begin
to tremble! They rock! They fall! Tho
rushing waters! The shriek of drowning
men ! The swimming of tho war horses
in vain for tho shore! The strewing of
the great host on tho bottom of tho ecu,
or pitched by tho angry wave on tho
beach—a battered, bruised and loath
some v. reek! Suddenly destruction came.
One half hour before they could not havo
believed it. Destroyed, aud without
remedy.
I am just setting forth a fact, which
you havo noticed as well as I. Ananias
comes to tho apostle. Tho apostle says,
“Did you sell tho laud for so much?”
He says, “Yes.” It was a lie. Dead, as
quick as that! Sapphira, his wife, comes
in. “Did you sell tho land for so much?”
“Yes.” It was a lie, and quick as that
she was dead! God’s judgments aro
upon thoso who despise him and defy
him. They eomo suddenly.
Word* of Warnlnc.
The destroying angel went through
Egpyt. Do you suppose that any of the
people knew that ho was coming? Did
they hear tho flap of his great wing?
No! No! Suddenly, unexpectedly, ho
came.
Skilled sportsmen do not like toshoot
u bird standing on a sprig near by. If
they aro skilled, they pride themselves
on taking it on the wing, and they wait
till it starts. Death is an old sportsman
and ho loves to take men flying under
tho very sun. Ho loves to take them on
the wing. Oh, fleo to God tins night!
If there ho ouo in this presence who has
wandered far away from Christ, though
ho may not have heard the cull of tho
gosiiel for many u year, I invito him now
to come aud ho saved. Fleo from thy
sin! Flee to tlie stronghold of tho gos
pel ! Now is tho accepted time. Now is
the day of salvation.
Good night, my young friends; may
you havo rosy sleep, guarded by him
who never slumbers! May you awake in
the morning strung and well! But, oh,
art thou a dospisor of God? Is this thy
last night on earth? Khouldst thou bo
awakened in the night by something,
thou kuowest not what, and thoro be
shadow* floating in tho room, and u
handwriting on the wall, aud you feel
that your lost hour is corn*, and there
bo u fainting at the heart, and a tremor
in tho limb, and u catching of tho breath

per cent cf chicory, burned sugar anti
other vegetable substances. Dealing in
mind that good, pure roasted coffee can
ho retailed at lOd. per pound, with a
fair profit to tho seller, and that chicory
is about one-third of tho price of coffee,
it is easy to seo that tho sellers of all
those French and other coffee mixtures
