[Copyright, isoo, 1> American Press Asso- citlon.] Washington, TYl). 5.—like many of Dr. Tallage’s disconrses, rec- omniend.s ri^-ht <ljn^ for this world ah well as preparaion for tho heavenly World; test, Jolriii, 14, “Whoso trnst shall be a spider’.web. ’’ The two most ikillful architects in all the world are tic bee and the spider. The one puts up ; sugar manufactory, and tho other hauls a slaughter house for flies. On a bight summer morning when the sun com^ont and shines upon the spider's web,[bedecked with dew, tho gossamer stactnre seems bright enough for a snpcnsiou bridge for aerial beings to toss on. But alas for the poor fly whicj in the latter part of thr.t very day vutures on it and is caught and dnugbned and destroyed! The fly was informed that it was a free bridge and would cost nothing, but at the other end of tb bridge the toll pr.’/’ was its own life. Tho next day there conus down a siting wind, and away go the web and tie marauding spider and tho victimizedfly. So delicate arc tho silken threadsof the spider's web that many thonsaxls of them are put together before thy become visible to the human eye, aid it takes 4.000.- 000 of them to mate a thread as largo as tho human hair Mont cruel as well as most ingenious s the spider. A pris oner in the BastilU France, had bhe so trained that at tin sound of tho violin it every day came nr its meal of flies. The author of my t»xt, who was a lead ing scientist of hit day. had no doubt watched the voracons process of this one insect with andher and saw spider and fly swept dorn with the same broom or scattored by the same wind. Alas that tho worll has so many de signing spiders andjVictiinized flies! There has not b-bn a time when the utter and black irr iponsibility of many men having the tiiancial interests of others in charge haj been more evident than ia these last f«v years. The bank ruptcy of banks ai l disappearance of a Iministrntors witl the funds of large ©ft a tea and the disjrdored accounts of United States ofticuis have sometimes made a pestilence o: crime that solemn izes every thonghtfil man and woman and bads every philanthropist and Christian to ask. What snail be done to stay tho plague? There is ever and anon a monsoon of swindle abroad, a typhoon, a sirocco. I *omctinies ask myself if it would not be better for men making wills to bequeath tho prop erty directly to the executors and otll- cers of tho court and appoint the wid ows and orphans a committee to nee that the former got all that did not be long to them. Thesiinplv fact is that there are u large number of men sailing yachts and drivin;.; fast horses and membe rs of expensive clubhouses and controlling country seats who are not worth a dollar if they return to others their just rights. Under some sudden reverse they fail, and with afflicted air seem to retire from the world and seem almost ready for monastic life, when in two or tbrea years they blossom out again, having compromised with their creditors—that is - ., paid them nothing but regret, and the only difference be tween the second chapter of prosperity and tho first is that their pictures arc* Murillos instead of Eensetts and their horses go a mile in 2) seconds less than their predecessors, and instead of one country seat they have three. I have watched and have noticed that nine out of ten of those who fail in what ia called high life have more means after than before tho failure, and in many of the cases failure is only a stratagem to escape the payment of honest debts and put tho world elf the track while they practice u largo swindle. There is some thing woefully wrong in the fact that these things are possible. Where (he RcnponnlblHty Hosts. First of all, I charge the blame on careless, indifferent bank directors and boards having in charge great financial institutions. It ought not to be possible for a president or cashier or prominent officer of u banking institution to swin dle it year after year without detection. 1 will undertake to say that if these frauds are carried on for two or three years without detection either the di rectors are partners in the infamy and pocket part of the theft or they are guilty of a culpable neglect of duty, for which God will hold them as responsi ble as ho holds the acknowledged de frauders. What right have prominent business men to allow their names to be published as directors in a financial in stitution so that unsophisticated people are thereby induced to deposit their money in or buy the scrip thereof when they, the published directors, are doing notIfh^ for the safety of the in stitution? ItTsa case of deception most reprehensible. Many people with a surplus of money, not needed for imme diate nse. although it may be a little further on indispensable, are without friends competent to advise them, and they are guided solely by the character of the men whose names are associated [with tho institution. When tho crash camo and with the overthrow* of the janks went the small earnings and lim ited fortunes of widows and orphans jd the helplessly aged, the directors fcood with idiotic stare, and to the in- ziry of tho frenzied depositors and sckholders who had lost their all, and the arraignment of an indignant |blic. had nothing to say except: “We aught it was all right. We did not aow there was anything wrong going It was their duty to know*. They Viocjfn a position which deluded the eoplo with the idea were 'directors, they did had opportunity of auditing accounts 1 and inspecting the books. No time to 1 do 30? Then they had no business to : acc .pt the position. It seems to bo the pride of some moneyed men to be di- ! ectors in a great many institutions, and all they know ia whether or not they get their dividends regularly, and their names are used as decoy ducks to bring others near enough to ho made game of. What first of all is needed is that 000 bank directors and insurance com pany directors resign or attend to their business as directors. Tho business world will bo full of fraud just as long as fraud ia so easy. When yon arrest tho president and secretary of a bank for an embezzlement carried on for many years, bo sure to liavo plenty of sheriffs out the same day to arrest all the directors. They are guilty cither of neglect or complicity. “Oh,” some will say, “better preach the gospel and let business matters alone.” I reply, if your gospel docs not inspire common honesty in the dealings of men, the sooner you close up your gosjH‘1 and pitch it into the depths of the Atlantic ocean the better. An or thodox swindler is worse than a hetero dox swindler. The recitation of all the catechisms and cre eds ever written and partaking of all tho commnnion chal ices that ever glitttered in the churches of Christendom will never save your soul unless your business character cor responds with your r*Mf ions profession. Some of the worst scoundrels in Ameri ca have been members of churches, and they got fat on sermoaa about heaven when they most ueedod to have the pulpits preach that which would either bring them to repentance or thunder them out of the holy communions where their presence was a mcrilege and an infamy. The Abnae of Sitcred Tm«t. We must especially deplore the mis fortunes of banks in various parts of this country in that they damage the banking institution, which is tho great convenience of the centuries and indis pensable to commerce and the advance of nations. With one hand it blesses tho lender, and with the other it blessoi the borrower. On their shoulders are the interests of private individuals and groat corporations. In them are the great arteries throngh which run the currents of the nation’s life. They have been the resources of the thousands of financiers in days of business exigency. They stand for accommodation, for fa cility, for individual, state and national relief. At tkrir head and in their man agement there arc ss ranch interest and moral worth as in any dkn of men. per haps more. How nefarious. Mien, the behavior of those who bring disrepute upon this venerable, benignant and God honored institution. We also deplore abuse of trust funds because the abusers fly in the face of divine goodness which seems determined to bless this land. We are having a se ries of unexampled national harvests. The wheat gamblers get hold of the wheat, and the corn gamblers get hold of the corn. The full tide of God’s mercy toward this laafl is put back by those great dikes of dishonest resist ance. When God provides enough food and clothing to feed and apparel this whole nation like princes, the roramble of dishonest men to get more than their share, and get it at all hazards, keeps everything shaking with uncertainty and everybody asking “What next?’’ Every week makes new revelations. How many more bank presidents and bank cashiers have been speculating with other people’s money, and how many more bank directors are in imbe cile silence, letting tho perfidy go cn. the great and patient God only knows! My opinion is that we have got near the bottom. The wind has been pricked from the great bubble of American spec ulation. The men who thought that the judgment day was at least 5,000 years off found it in IfO* or 1807 or 189G. And this nation has been taught that men mart keep their hands out of other people’s pockets. Great businesses built on borrowed capital have been obliter ated. and men who had nothing have lost all they had. I believe we are start ed cn a higher career of prosperity than this land has ever seen, if, and if. and if. Cantton to Sa»*nIntor«. If the first men, and especially Chris tian men, will learn never to speculate upon borrowed capita!—if yon have a mind to take your own money and turn it all into kites, to lly them over every common in the United States, you do society no wrong, except when you tumble your helpless children into the poorhouso for the public to take care of. But you have no right to take thezren- ey of others and turn it into kites. Tliere is one word that has deluded more people into bankruptcy and state prison and rein than any other word in commercial life, and that is the word borrow. That one word is responsible for all the defalcations and embezzle ments and financial consternations of tho last 20 years. When executors con clude to speculate with the funds of an estate committed to their charge, they do not purloin; they say they only bor row. When a banker makes an o ver draft upon his institntion. ho does not commit a theft; ho only borrows. When the officer of a company by flaming advertisement in some religions papers and gilt certificate of stock gets a multitude of country people to put their small earnings into an entez-prise for carrying on aomo undeveloped noth ing. he does not fraudulently take their money; ho only borrows. When a young man with easy access to his employer’s money drawer or tho confidential clerk by close propinquity to the account books takes a few dollars for a Wall street excursion, he expects to pat it buck. He will pnt it all back. Ho will put it all back very soon. He only bor rows. Why, when you are going to do wrong, prononnee so long a word as borrow, a word of six letters, when you can get a shorter word more descriptive of the reality, a word of only five let ters, the word steal ? There are times when wo all borrow 1 yd !*crrow legitimately and borrow \ \ji\h the divine blessing, for Christ in | . Ids Sermon on the Mount enjoina, 1 ' “From him that would borrow of tho< ! turn not thou away.” A young mac | rightly borrows money to get his edu- | cation. Purchasing a house and no< able to pay all .down in cash, the pur chaser rightly borrows it on mortgage Crises come in business, when it would ho wrong for a mar. not to borrow. But I roll this warning through all these aisles, over tho backs of all these pews, never borrow to speculate—not a dol lar. not a cent, not a farthing. Young men, I warn you by your worldly pros pects and the value of your immortal souls, do not do it. There arc breakers distinguished for their shipwrecks—the Han ways, the Needles, the Caskets, the Donvers, the Anderlos. the Skerries— and many a craft has gone to pieces on these rocks, but I have to tell yoa that all the Hamvays and the Needles and the Caskets and the Skerries are ns nothing compared with the long line of breakers which bound the ocean 0? commercial life north, south, east and west, with the white fonni of their de spair and the dirge of their damnation, the breakers of borrow. Faith find Repentance TJcceKxnry. If I had only a worldly weapon to use on this subject. I would give you the fact, fresh from the highest author ity. that 90 per cent of those who go into wild speculation lose all. but I have a better warning than a worldly warning. From the place where men have perished—body. mind, eoul—stand off. stand off! Abstract pulpit discus sion must ste^ aside on this question. Faith and repentance are absolutely necessary, but faith and repentance ai*e no more doctrines of the Bible than commercial integrity. “Render to all their dues.” “Owe no man anything.” And while I mean to preach faith and repentance, more and more to preach them, I do not mean to spend any time in chasing the Hittites and Jebusitea and Girgnshitos of Bible times when there are so many evils right around ns destroying men and women for time and for eternity. The greatest evangel istic preacher the world ever saw. a man who died for his evangelism—peer less Paul—wrote to the Romans, “Pro vide things honest in the sight of all men:’’ wrote to the Corinthians. “Do that which is honest;” wrote to tho Philippians. “Whatsoever things are honest;” wrote to the Hebrews, “Will ing in all things to live honestly. ” The Bible says that faith without works is dead, which, being liberally translated, means that if your business life does cot correspond with your profession your religion is a humbug. Here is something that needs to be Bounded into the cars of ail the young men of America, and iterated and re iterated. if tins country is ever to be delivered from its calamities and com mercial prosperity is to be established and perpetuated: Live within your means. Spend no more than you make. And let ns adjust % all our business and •/ur homes by tbe principles of the Christian religion. Our religion ought to mean just as much on Saturday and Monday as on the day between, and not to be a mere periphrasis cf sanctity. Our religion ought to first clean our hearts, and then it ought to clean our lives. Religion is not. as some seem to think, a sort of church delectation, a kind of confectionery, a sort of spiritual caramel, or holy gmndrop, or sanctified popper mint, or theological anaesthetic. It is an omnipotent principle, all con trolling. all conquering. You may get along with something less than that, and yon may deceive yourself with it. but you cannot deceive God. and you cannot deceive the world. The keen buf-inoes man will put cn bin spectacles, and he will look clear through to tho back cf your head and ace whether yonr ’religion is a fiction or a fact. And you cannot hide your samples cf sugar, or rice, or tea. or coffee if they are false, you cannot hide them under the cloth of a communion table. All your prayers go for nothing so long as yon misrepre- l sent your banking institution, and in the report of the resources yon put down more specie, and more fractional cur rency. and more clearing house certifi cates. and more legal tender notes, and more loans and mere discounts than there really are. and when you give an account of yonr liabilities you do not mention all the unpaid dividends and the United States bank notes outstand ing. and the individual deposits and the obligations to other banks and bankers. An authority more scrutinizing than that of any bank examiner will go through and through and through your businceo. Cr.r? Tor Othcra’ Property. Gathered in all religious assemblages there are many who have trnst funds. It is a compliment to yon that you have been so intrusted, bat I charge you. in the presence of God and the world, be an careful of tho property of others as you are careful of yonr own. Above all. keep your own private account at the bank separate from your account as j trustee of an estate or trustee of an in- I sfitntion. That is the point at which | thousands of people make shipwreck. They get the property of others mixed up with their own property: they put it into investment, and away it all goes. 1 and they cannot return that which they ; borrowed. Then comes the explosion, ! and the money market is shaken, and tho press denounces, and the church thunders expulsion. You have no right ! to use the property of others, except for i -their advantage, nor without consent, j unless they are minora If with their ; consent yon invest their property as ! well as you can and it is all lost, you j arc not to blame. You did the beet you i could. But do not come into the delu- i sion which has ruined so many men of thinking because a thing is in their possession therefore it is theirs. You have a solemn trust that God has given you. In any assemblage there may be some who have misappropriated trust funds. Pnt them back, or if you have so hopdessly involved them that yon ; cannot put them back confess the whole thing to those whom you have wronged ! and yon will sleep better nights and ; yon will have the better chance for | your soul. What a sad thing it would ; be if alter yon are dead yonr adminis- i trator should find out from the account j books or from the lack of vouchers .that | yon are cot only bankrupt in estate, bat that yon lost your soul! If all the trust funds that have been misappro priated should suddenly fiy to theii owners and all the property that has been purloined should suddenly go back to its owners, it would crush into ruin every city in Amen -a. A misGionary in o le of tbe islands cf the Pacific preached on dishonesty, and the next morning he looked out of his window and he saw his yard full oi goods of all kinds. He wondered and asked the canse of nil this. “Well," said the natives, “our gods that wc have been worshiping permit us to steal; but, according to what you said yesterday, tho God of heaven and earth will not allow this. So we bring back all these goods and we ask you to help ns in taking them to the places where they belong. ” If next Sabbath all the ministers in America should preach ser mons cn the abuse of trust funds and on the evils of purloining, and the ser mons were all blessed of God and regu lations were made that all these things should be taken to the city halls, it would not be long before every city hall in Ameirea would be crowded from cellar to cupola. Dishonesty Never Pays. Let me say in tbe most emphatic manner to nil young men. dishonesty will never pay. An abbot wanted to buy a piece of ground and the owner would aot sell it, but the owner finally con sented to let it to him until he could raise one crop, and the abbot sowed acorns, a crop of 200 years! And I tell yon, young man. that tho dishonesties which you plant in your heart and life will seem to be very insignificant, but they will grow up until they will over shadow you with horrible darkness, overshadow all time and all eternity. It will not be a crop for 200 years, but a crop for everlasting ages. I have also a word of comfort for all who suffer from the malfeasance of oth ers. and every honest man. woman and child dees suffer from what goes on in financial scampdom. Society is so bound together that all the misfortunes which good people suffer in businese matters come from the misdeeds of oth ers. Bear up under distress, strong in God. Ho will see you through, though your misfortunes should bo centupled. Scientists tell us that a column of air 45 miles in height rests on every man’s head and shoulders. Bat that is noth ing compared with tho pressure that business life has put upon many of you. God made up his mind long ago how many or how few dollars it would be best for you to have. Trust to Ills ap pointment. Tho door will soon open to let yon out and let you up. What shock of delight for men who for 80 years have been in bn sir ess anxiety when they shall suddenly awake in everlast ing holiday! On the maps of the arctic regions there are two places whose names are remarkable, given. I sup pose. by some polar expedition—Capo Farewell and Thank God harbor. At this last the Polaris wintered in 1871 and the Tigress in 1878. Some ships have passed the cape, yet never reached the harbor. But from what I know of many of yon 1 have concluded that, though yonr voyage of life may be very rough, run into by icebergs on this sida and icebergs on that, you will in due time reach Capo Farewell, and there hid goodby to all annoyances, and soon after drop anchor in the calm and im perturbable waters of Thank God har bor. “There tho wicked cease from tronbling and the weary are at rest. ” The rich and the poor ent reasons for fasting. * fienls quickly. f< r children, cany.

A Vast IHfOrenco In the Number of Men Itcqnircd to Ilaudle Them. The number of men required to man naval gnus of tho British, French, Ger man and American navies is about tho same, although the French are under stood to have moro men as a rale for some of tbe larger guns. For tbe 4 inch and 5 inch all services require four n,<n to work each piece; for tho 6 inch, six men are needed, and for the 10, 12 and 18 inch the eamo number. As nearly all onr 8, 10, 12 and 18 inch guns are used in pairs and mount ed in turrets the 12 men working them are protected by heavy plates of steed. For tho little 1 pounders three men are necessary to work them rapidly, and for the 8 pounders and 6 pounders four meu are assigned, and for the Hotchkiss three men. Treble tho number of men seem to bo required to work the same caliber cf pans in onr coast defense system, al- j though there is no special reason for this, unless it be dno to the fact that the army guns arc mounted on disap pearing carriages and are not provided with turrets, which naturally limits tho space of tho operators. An army 8 inch guu takes 15 men to work it; a 10 inch gun requires 18 men, and a 12 inch gun, the largest now constructed by the army, calls for 21 meu. It will be seen, therefore, that a 18 inch naval gun is operated by six men, while an artnygnnof one inch less cali ber calls for 21 men. Tho navy guu can be fired just ns rapidly with its six meu as tho army gun can be fired with its larger number.—Boston Herald. These are dangerous times for the health.
