W ash I n cit< )N, Atig. 1.—Dr. Talniittro
in Iria Bortuon dcpicta the insidious
inodes by which evil habit yams hu-
preinacy aud shows how splendid men
are cheated into ruin. Text, Isiah v, 18,
“Wee unto tiiem that sin, as it trore
with a cart rop*. ”
There are some iniqnities that only
nibble at the heart. After a lifetime of
their work the mau stillstands upright,
respected and honored. These vermin
have not strength enough to gnaw
through a man’s character. But there
are ot’her trr.nsgr< ssions that lift them*
selves up to gigantic proportions and
seize hold of a man and bind him with
thongs forever. There are some iniqui
ties that have such great emphasis of
evil that he who commits them may be
said to sin as with a cart rope. I tup-
pose yon. know how they make a great
rope. The stuff out of which it is fash
ioned is nothing but tow which yon
pull apart without any exertion of your
lingers. This is spun into threads, any
of which you could easily snap, but a
great many of these threads are iutcr-
wonnd—then you have a rope strong
enough to bind an ox or hold a ship in
a tempest
I speak to yon of the sin of gambling.
A cart rojje in strength i* that uiu, and
yet I wish more especially to draw your
attention to tbe small threads of inftw
euee out of which that mighty iniquity
is twisted. This crime is on the ad
vance, so that it is well not only that
fathers aud brothers and sons be inter-
ested in such a discussion, hut that
wives and mothers and sifters and
daughters look out lest their present
home be sacrificed or their intended
home be blasted. No man, no womsu,
can stand aloof from such a EuMeofc as
this and say, “It has no practical bear
ing upon my life,’’ for there may he in
a short time in your history an expert
ence in which you will find that the
discussion involved three worlds—earth,
heaven, hell. There are gambling estab
lishments by the thousands.
, Th otimmA* of OiMnhl«r*,
There are about 6,600 professional
gamblers. Out of all the gambling es
tablishments how many of them do you
suppose profess to bo honest? Ten—
these ten professing to be honest be
cause they are merely the antechamber
to those that are acknowledged fraudu
lent There are first class eetablish-
ments. You step a little way out of
Broadway, New York. You go up the
marble stairs. You ring the bell. The
liveried servant introduces you. The
ws»lls are lavender tinted. The mr.ntvle
are of Vermont marble. Tho pictures
are YJephthall’s Daughter” and Dore's
“P*ntr” and Virgil's “Frozen Region

this last for ^be place. There is the
r< -th tte table, th^ Hi, st, f astlust, most
exquisite piece of furniture in the Unit
ed States. There is the banqueting room,
win re, free of chr.rgo to the gm -ts, you
may find the plate and viands and wines
and c igars sumptuous beyond parallel.
Then yon come to tho second class
gambling esiahli dim nit. To it you are
introduced by a card through some
“roper in.” Having ntered, you must
either g .inlihi or 1 {hr. .nanded eaids,
dice loaned with quicksilver, poor
drinks mixed v. ith i:\ot • poor drinks
will soon help yo« to {• t rid of ail your
money to a tupe in short meter with
staccato passages. You wanted to see.
You saw. The low villains of that place

You go along a little farther and find
tlie policy establishment. In that place
you Ik t on mini hers. Betting on two
numbers is culled a “saddle”; Letting
on three numbers is called a “gig;” bet
ting on four numbers is called a
“horse,” and there arc thousands of
our young men leaping into that “fud
dle” and mounting that “gig” and be
hind that “horse” riding to perdition.
There is always one kind <if sign on tlie
door, “Exchange,” a most appropriate
title for tho door, for there in that
room a man exchanges health, peace
and heaven for less of health, lots of

Now you acknowledge that is a rar f -
rope of Ciil,'at yon want to know
what are the small threads out'Of which
lit is made. There is in many a disposi
tion to hazard. They feel a delight in
walking n er a precipice becawc of fhe
■nnse of danger. There are people who
gc upon Jungfrau, not for the largeness
of tho prospect, bnt for tho fooling that
tiny havo of tuiuking, “What would
happen if I should fall off?” There are
persons who have their blood filliiied
and accelerated by skating very near an
airhole. Ti'erc are men who find a
positive delight in drivng wifhii. t-^o

much as they see the dollar beyond the
dice, uua for that they watch as tho
spider in tho web, looking as if dead
until the ny passes. Thousands of young
men in the hope of gain go into these
practices. They say: "Well, my salary
is not enough to allow this luxury. I
don’t get enough from my store, offico
or shop I ought to have finer aj art-
trienfs. I ought to have better wines. I
ought to have more richly flavored ci

Vfki*i a young man makes up his
mind In live beyond his income, satun
has boogbt him out ami cut, and it is
caly m question of time when the goods
am &» Is delivered. The thing is done.
You plant-in the way all the bat-
teniVsj ui truth aud righteousness; that
mail l* bqnnd to go on. When a man
nmktm $l,k00a year and spends $1,200,
when a young man makes $1,600
spends $1,700, all the harpies of d
upfh cry out, “Ha! ha! we have him!”
And they have. How to get the extra
$600 nr the extra $2,000 is the question.
He says: “Here is my friend who start-

of it. Men defrauded in gaming estab
lishments are not fools enough to tell of
it Qsmm in awhiK however, there is
an mpmmm, «*< when iu Boston the po
lice swooped upon a gaming estublish-
ajarf la it the representatives
of all classes of citizens, from the first
merchants on .State strest to the low
Ann street gambler; an when Bullock,
the cashier of the Central Railroad of
Qeoigi*, was found to have stolen
$1 OS,000 for the purpose of carrying on
gam es; as when a young man
in one of the savings banks of Brooklyn
many years ago was found to have sto
le* $40,Q00 to carry on gaming prac
tices; as when a man connected with a
Wall street insurance company was
found to have stolen $108,000 to carry
ip - .: -n’r’ng practices. But that is
exceptional.

the makTtig or losing of $10,000 by one

so he go*« up the flight of stairs, amid
business offices, to the darkly curtained,
wooden shuttered room, guyly fur-
nishad inside, and take s his place at the
roulette or the faro table. But I cannot

Many y< ars ago for sermonic pur
poses aud in company with the chief
of police of New York I visited one of
i the most brilliant gambling houses in
that oily. Jt was night, aud as we came
up in from all seemed dark. The bliu.ls
w^re down, iho d or was guarded, but

into tho hall, and thence into tho par

awfully solemn in the silence—the in
tense gaze, the suppressed emotions of
the players. No ono looked up. They
all had ujr«»y in the rapids, and I liavo
|
no doubt sr.mo saw', as they sat there,
horses and carriages, and houses and
lands, aiid heme and family rushing
down into tho vortex. A man’s life
would not have Lieu worth a farthing
iu that pr< t nee had he not been ac
companied by the police, if he had been
supposed to he on a Christian errand of
observation. Some of tin so men went
by private key, some went in by care
ful introduction, sorno wire taken in by
the patrons of the establishment. Tho
officer of the law told me, “None gets
in here except by police mandate or by
some letter of a patron.” While we
were there a young man came in, put
his money down on the roulette table
and lost; put more money down on the
roulette table and lost; put more money
down ou the roulette table aud lost;
then feeling in his pockets for more
money, finding none, in severe silence
he turned his back upon the scene and
passed out. While wo stood there men
lost their property and lost their souls.
Oh, merciless place! Not once in all the
history of that gaming house has there
been one word of sympathy uttered for
the losers at the game.
Sir Horace Walpole said that a man
dropped dead iu ono of the clubhouses
of Loudon. His body was carried into
the clubhouse, and tlie members of fbo
club begun immediately to bet us to
whether he were dead or alive, and
when it w as proposed to test tho matter
by bleeding him, it was only hindertd
by the suggestion that it xj-ould be un
fair to some of flio plnyrrs. In th«wa
gaming houses of our cities men Lave
their property wrung away from them,
and then tlwy go out, some of them to
drown their grief in strong drink, sobm
to ply the counterfeiters pen, and ao
restore their fortunes, some resort to
tbs suicide's revolver, but nil going
down, and that work proceeds day by
day and night by night. “That out
rope,” says some young man, "ban
never been wound around my soul.”
But have not some threads of tliat our*
rtqie been twisKid?
Gift KnU>rprtiM*a ArnkigneA.
I arraign before God tho gift •nter-
prises of our cities, whioh have a tead-
euny to make this a nation of gamblers.
Whatever yon get, young man, in such
a place ns that, without giving a proper
I'quivalent, iu a robbery of your own
soul and a robbery of the conmmmiity.
Yet how we are appalled to see men
who hare failed in other enterprises go
into gift concerts, where tbe chief ■*-
traction is not music, but the pHaas
distributed among the audience, or to
sell books where tho cbief attraction
is not tho bock, but the package that
j goes with the book. Tobacco dealers
! advertise that on a certain day they
will put money into their papers, so
that the purchaser of this tobacco in
Cincinnati or New York may unexpect
edly come upon a magnificent gratuity.
Boys hawking through the cars poafc-
i ages containing nobody knows what,
until you open them and find they oon-
1 tain nothing. Christian men with pic
tures on their wall gotten in a lottery,
and tho brain of community taxed to
find nnt soma new way of getting things
I without paying for them. Oh, young
men, these ara the threads that make
the cart rope, mid when a young man
consents to these practices he is being
bound hand aid foot by u habit which
has already destroyed “a great multi
tude that no man can number.”
Sjidi times these gift enterprises are
carried ou in the name of charity, and
some of you remember at the close of
our civil w ar how many gift enterprises
wore on f<x>t, the proceeds to go to tho
orphans cud widows of the soldiers and
sailors. What did the men who had
charge of those gift enterprises care fnr
the orphans and widows? Why, they
would have allowed them to fiee/c to
death upon their steps. I have no faith
in u charity which for the sake of re
lieving tin - 'tit suffering opens a gaping
hand, not clinched as if to -n.jto, but
outspread as if to drop a I 'm diction.
Other seas have a shore aud may he
fathomed, but tlie sea of God's love—
eternity has no plummet to strike the
bottom, and immensity no ironbound
shore to confine it. Its tides are lifted
by the heart of infinite romj.us.-iou. Its
waves are the hosannas of the re
deemed. The argosies that sail on it
drop anchor at last amid tho thunder
ing salvo of eternal victory. Bui alas
for that man who sits down to the final
game of life and puts his immortal soul
on the imv, while tho angels of God
keep the tally board, and after kings
and queens, and knaves, and spades aro
“shuffled” and “cut,” and the game is
ended, hovering aud impending worlds
discover that lie has lost it, the faro
bank of eternal darkness clutching
down into its wallet all tbe blood
stained wagers.

There is meaning in the old nantes
that cling to certain localities of our
land. The Indians did not bestow these
names arbitrarily, and when they gave
to a certain sand hill in Michigan a ti
tle that means Thundering tiaud hill
they knew what they were about. White
men today call it Tlmnder mountain.
Chief Simon Pokagou, in a letter to
Popular Science News, says that this
particular hill is one of a number of
sand duties that stretch for 300 miles
jylong the east idtOM at Lake Michigan^
Tbi y aj** fbnm.'d by drift sand from the
lake u«d vary from 60 to 200 feet in
height, being generally covered wi^h
scrub timber, evergreen and hardwood.
This luurticuiar bill has a character
rtf its own. It is literally a tbuudercr.
New sad again it lifts up its voice and
speaks with low, muttering thunder.
Its eloquence is irregular. It will be
gin ui«l thunder for six or ten seconds,
then paiiM» and iu two or tliree seoonds
begin again, us if talking. Sailors,
while punidiig along the coast, frequent
ly report having heard the voice of
thunder above the roer of the waves
dashing on the tlinre.
One who vithtd the hill ray* that
when he reused thu top it began to
mutter and shake, like a creature of life
that wue suffering from an ague obilL
Tl>u air rushed oat of tlie sand cu if tbe
mound were breathing with great labor.
And yet the mound seems in composi
tion So be no different from its neigh
bors.
M I have been the whole length of
Lake Michigan,” says the writer, “aud
failed to murk any difference in the
general appearanbe aud quality of the
sand of which these hills ore composed.
Onr Algonquin fathers naturally
thought this one was the wigwam of
tbe M&uito or spirit that presided over
Mi-she-gum—Luko Michigan—n name
whioh means monstrous lake.”

I have accomplished my object if I
put you on «hc lookout. It is a givat
deal easier to fall than it is to get up
again. The trouble is that when men
hi gin to go astray from the path of duty
they aro apt to say, “There’s no use of
my tryiug to get bark. I’ve sacrlfici-d
mjrespectability, I can’t return.’’ And
they go on until they ar* utterly de

I w ill tell you the great want of every

It is the grace of God. Are there any
who have fallen victims to the sin that
I have been reprehending? You are in a

against the otmr wall until there is

way. There is only one way of getting
out. There is a key that can unlock
that prison heme, it is the it. y of the
house of David. It is the key that
Christ wears at his girdle. If you will
allow him to put that key to tho lock,
the bolt will shoot back, and tho door
will swing open, and you will he a free

what a business this is for you, feeding

A retail eliop on Forty si cond ptreot,
New York, does quite a business in im
ported English tobaccos. Its windows
are gay with the advertising cards of
certain manufacturers in England.
Now, no one will pretend that Eng
lish smoking tobaccos aro as good as
American. Th*' raw h af from which they
nre manufactured has first tube brought
into England from ibis country, and
the United States is not sending its best
hogshead tobacco abroad. On account
o? tho tariff tlw imported Efig'.ish to
baccos are much dearer than those
which are rnannfactured in this coun
try, amT'chive, as I have said, the, home
product is so much hi tter than the for
eign it is not easy to explain why there
should bo any demand for the English
gosils in this city at all. I asked the
dealer if he sold much of the English
tobacco, and lie answered that the de
mand was quite large and quite steady.
“if you ask mo how it conns that I
am able to sell these goods, 1 shouldn’t
be eblo to tell you, i ncej’ing i:a the
theory tliat those who buy it arc Anglo
maniacs, who love English things be
cause they are English. They fancy
that every time they buy a package of
this English pipe tobacco they advertise
the fact that they have been in England
and have acquired the taste there. But
since they advertise it only to me, who
don’t care a rap whether they have
been in England cr not, I can’t for the
