Wahiumjton, July 2.—In tills dls- course Dr. Talnmge vigorously arraigns olio of the great evils thtit have eursed the world and urges generous interpre tation of the character of others; text, Romans i, 2t>, “Full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers.” 1‘aul was here calling the lung roll of the world’s villainy, and he puts in the midst of this roll those persons known in all cities and communities ami places as whisperers. They are so call ed because they generally speak tm-ler voice ami in a coutldeutial way, their hand to the side of their mouth acting as a funnel to Keep the precious infor mation from wandering into the wrong ear. They speak softly not because they have lack of lung force or because they are overpowered with the spirit of gentleness, but because they want to escape the consequences of defama tion. If no one hears but the person whispered ante, and the offender be ar raigned, he can deny the whole thing, for whisperers are always first class liars! K une people whisper because they arc* hoarse from a col I or because they wish to convey some useful informa tion without disturbing others, but the creatures photographed by the apostle in my text give nu;tiled utterance front sinister and depraved motive, and sometimes you can only hear the sibi lant sound as the letter “N” drops front the tongue into the listening ear, the brief hi-s of the serpent its it projects iis venom. Whisperers are masculine and femi nine, with a tendency to majority on the side of those who tire called ••the lords of creation.” Whisperers tire heard at every window of bank cash ier raid are heard in all counting rooms as well as in sewing societies and at meetings of asylum directors and managers. They are the worst foes of society, responsible for miseries innumerable; they are the scavengers of the world, driving their cart through every community, and today 1 hold up for your holy anathei :a aiid execration these whisperers. • Paul ,i Victim. From the frequency with which I’aul speaks of them under different tith-s I conclude that he must have suffered somewhat from them. 11 is personal presence was very defective, and that made him, perhaps, the target of their ridicule. And. besides that, he was a bachelor, persisting in Ids celibacy down into the sixties, indeed till the way through, and. some having failed in their connubial designs upon blm, the little missionary was put under the raking lire of these whisperers, lie was no doubt a rare morsel for their s- an- dnlization, and be cannot keep his patience any longer, ami he lays hold of these miscreants of the tongue and gives them a very hard setting down in my text among the scoundrelly and the murderous. “F.nvy. murder, de bate, deceit, malignity: whisperers.” The law of libel makes quick and stout grip of open slander. If 1 should in a plain way, calling you by mime, charge you with fraud or theft or mur der or uucleanness. tomorrow morn ing 1 might have peremptory docu ments served on me, and 1 would have to pay in dollars and cents for the damage I had done your character. Rut these creatures spoken of in my text are so small that they escape the tine tooth comb of the law. They go on, and they go on. escaping the judges and the juries and the penitentiaries. The district attorney cannot liud them, the sheriff cannot find them, the grand jury cannot find them. Shut them off from one route of perlidy and they start on another. You cannot by the force of moral sentiment persuade them to desist. You might as well read the Ten Commandments to a flock of crows, expecting them to retreat un der the force of moral sentiment. They tire to be found everywhere, these whisperers. I think their paradise is a country village of about 1,000 or 2,000 people, where everybody knows every body. But they also are to be found in large quantities in all our cities. They have a prying disposition. They look Into the basement windows at the tables of their neighbors and can tell just what they have morning and night to eat. They can see as far through a keyhole as other people can see with a door wide open. They can hear con versation on the opposite side of Hie room. Indeed, the world to them is a whispering gallery. Tlrey always put tlie worst construction on everything. A FlentliNli Spirit. Some morning a wife descends into tite street, her eyes damp with tears, and that is a stimulus to the tattler ami is enough to set up a business for three or four weeks. ”1 guess that hus band and wife don’t live happily to gether. 1 wonder if he hasn't been abusing her? It’s outrageous. IIo ought to be disciplined, lie ought to Ir» brought up before the church. I’ll go right over to my neighbors and I’ll let them know about this matter.” She rushes in all out of breath to a neigh bor's house and says: ‘'Oh. Mrs. Allear, have you heard the dreadful news? Why. our neighbor, poor tiling, came down off the steps in a flood of tears. That brute of a husband lias been abusing Iter. Well, it’s Just ns I ex pected. I saw him the other afternoon very smiling and very gracious to soi.je one who smiled hack, and I thought then I would just go up to him and tell him Ik- had better go home and look after bis wife and family, who probably at that very time were up stairs crying their eyes out. Oh. .Mrs. Allear, do have your husband go over iit.d put tin end to this trouble. It's simply outrageous that our neighbor hood should be disturbed in tills way. It's awful ” The fact hi that one man or woman set on lire of this hellish spirit will Lecp a whole neighborhood a-boll. It j does tioi require tiny very great brain. The chief requisition | M (Juit the worn- i gu have a small family or no family at all, heeause if slit* have a large family, | then slit* \\>ii:ld have to stay at homo and look after them. It Is very Impor tant that she be single or have no chil dren at ulj, and then site can attend to all tlio secrets of the neighborhood all the time. A woman with a large fami ly makes a very poor whisperer. it is astonishing how there whisper ers gather up everything. They know everything that happens. There are and told him that she had been slan dering her neighbors. The priest prom ised her absolution nu condition of her performing a penance.

She gets 1ms- ! bands and wives into a quarrel ami I bro hers ami sisters into antagonism, | and she disgusts the pastor with the i flock ami the flock with the pastor, and ' site makes neighbors who before were ; kindly disposed toward each other over suspicious and critical, so when one of the neighbors passes by in_;t carriage they hiss through their teeth and say, “All, we could all keep carriages if we never paid our debts!” When two or three whisperers get to gether, they stir a caldron of trouble, which makes me think of the three witches of ".Macbeth” dancing around a boiling caldron in a dark cave: Pou'ia*. d'jtiLlj, i i! anti trouble, Fire burn an.I vaalrou bubble.

I have more re spect for Ihe poor waif of the street that goes down under the gaslight, with m. home and no Hod—for she d*- colvcs no one ns to what she is—than 1 ! have for these hags of respectable so- ; eiety who cover up their tiger claws with a tine shawl and bolt Hie lieli of their heart with a diamond breastpin! 51 j: seu tine Wli iKpc'rcr*. The work of masculine whisperers la chiefly seen in the embarrassment of business. Now, I suppose, tiiere are j hundreds of men here who at some time have been in business trouble. 1 i will undertake to say that in nine | eases out of ten it was the result of ■ some whisperer's work. The whisperer i uttered some suspicion in regard to ' your credit. You sold your horse and j carriage because you had no use for ! them, and the whisperer said: “Sold ; ids horse and carriage because he had to sell them. Tin* fact that he sold his horse and carriage shows he Is going | down in business.” One of your friends gets embarrassed and you are a little involved with him. The whisperer says: "I wonder if he can stand under till this pressure? 1 think he Is going down. 1 think lie will j have to give up.” You borrow money out of a bank and a director whispers | outside about it, and after awhile the j suspicion gets fairly started and it leaps from one whisperer's lips to an- ! other whisperer’s lips until till the peo- | pie you owe want their money and ' want it right away and the business circles come around you like* a pack of j wolves, and, though you bad assets j four times more than were necessary ! to meet your liabilities, crash went everything! Whisperers! Oh, how much business men have suffered! Sometimes in the circles of clergy- ! men we discuss why it is that a great | many merchants do not go to church. : I will tell you why they do not go to j church. By the time Saturday night j comes they are worn out with the an- ! noyances of business life. They have ! had enough meanness practiced upon them to set their whole nervous sys- j tern a-tv. itch. The .MenncHt Tu'ebonrer. I think umfrng the worst of the wills- ! perers are those who gather up all | the harsh tilings that have been said j about you and bring them to you-all the tilings said against you, or against ! your family, or against your style of j business. They gather them all up and I they bring them to you, they bring | them to you in the very worst shape, , they bring them to you without any of ! the extenuating circumstances, and after they have made your feelings all raw, very raw, they take this brine, tills turpentine, tills aqua fortis, anil rub It in with a coarse towel and rub it In until it sinks to the hone. They make you the pincushion in which they thrust till tlie sharp tilings tU lave ever heard About you. "Now. lou't briug me Into a scrape. Now, don't tell anybody I told yon. Bet it be between you ami me. Don’t Involve me in it tit nil.” They aggravate you to the point of profanity, ami then they wonder you cannot sing psalm tunes! They turn you on a spit before a hot > lire uiid wonder why you are not nb- j sorbed In gratitude to them heeause i they turn you on a spit. Peddlers of | night shade. Peddlers of Canada this- ! tic.

Sometimes ; they get you in n corner where you ! cannot very well escape without beiug 1 rude, and then they tell you all about I this one, and till about that one, ami | nil about the other one. and they talk, | talk, talk. talk. talk. .VfR r awhile they | go away leaving the place looking like j a barnyard after tht* foxes and the j weasels have been around; here a wing, and there a claw, and yonder an eye, and there a crop. How they do make tlie 1\ at hers fly! Rather than the defamation of good uanies, it seems to me it would be al most as honorable and useful If you Just took a box of matches in your pocket aud a razor in your hum! and go through the streets and see Imw many houses you can burn down and how many throats you can cut. That Is not a much worse business. The de struction of a mini's name is worse tlmu the destruction of Ills life. A woman came lu confessional to a priest hors.” All good men stud all good wo men have .sometimes had detractors after them. John Wesley's wii’e whis pered about him, whispered ail over England, kept on whispering about that good man as good a man us ever lived- ami kept on whispering until Hie connubial relation was dissolves.!. l£vc!i Jt sils AsHnilaiL Jesus Christ had these whisperers after him, and tLey charged him with drinking too much and keeping bad company. “A wine bibber timl the friend of publicans aud sinners.” You take the best man that ever lived and put a detective ou ids track for ten years, watching where be goes and when he conies, and with a determina tion to misconstrue everything, and to think he goes here for a bad purpose and there for a bail purpose, with tnut determination of destroying him, at the end of the tea years he will be held despicable in tlie sight of a great many people. If it is an outrageous thing to despoil a man's character, how much worse is it to damage a woman’s reputation? Yet that evil grows from century to century, and it is all done by whisper ers. .V suspicion is started. The next whisperer who gets Wold of it states tlie suspicion as a proved fact, and many a good woman, as honorable as your wife or your mother, has been whispered out of all kindly associa tions and whispered into the grave. Some people say there is no he'd, but if th re lie no Iicll for such a desp iil< r of womanly character it is high time that some philanthropist built one. But there is such a place established, aud what ti time they will have when all the whisperers get down there together r. hearsing things! Bvcrlasting carni val of mud. Were it not for the un comfortable surroundings, you night suppose they would be glad t-» get there, lu that region where they are till bad what opportunities for exploita tion by these whisperers! On earth to despoil their neighbors sometimes they had to lie about tiom, but down there they can say the worst things possible about their neighbors aud tell the truth. Jubilee of whisperers, tlrand i gala day of backbiters. Semihcaven of ! scandal mongers stopping their gabble about their diabolical neighbois only long enough to go up to the iron gate and ask some newcomer front the earth, “What is the last gossip in the city on earth where wo used to live?” Now, how are we to war against this iniquity which curses every community on earth? First by refusing to listen to or believe a whisper. Every court of the land lias for a law, aud all de cent communities have for a law. that you must hold people innocent until they are proved guilty. Thore is only one person worse than the whisperer, and that is the man or woman who lis- lens without protest. Tlie trouble is you hold tlie sack while they till it. The receiver of st. h n goods is just as bad as the t!;l( f. An ancient writer c!o- I dares that a slanderer and a man who j receives the slander ought both to be i hanged tlie one by the tongue and the other by Hie ear. And I agree with him. Don't ttctnll Mil il dcr. When you Lear something bad about your neighbors do n a go all uvi-r at d ask about It, whether it Is true, and scatter it and spread it. You might as well go to a smallpox hospital and take a patient and carry him ail through the community asking people if they really thought it Is a cast* of smallpox. That would lie very bad for the patient and for all the neighbors. Do not retail slanders and whisperings. Do not make yourself the inspector of warts, and the supervisor of carbuncles, and the commissioner for street gutters, and the holder of stakes for a doglight. Can it be that you, an immortal man, that you, an immortal woinan, can And no better busiin .-s titan to become a gutter Inspector? Besides that, at your family table al low no detraction. Teach your children to speak well of others. Show them the difference between a hoc and a wasp - the one gathering honey, the other thrusting a sting. 1 read of a family where they kept what they called “A Slander Book,” and when any slander ous words were uttered in the house ibout anybody, or detraction uttered. It was all put down in this book. The book was kept carefully. For the lirst few weeks there were a great many en tries, but after a while there were no entries tit till. Detraction stopped in that household, it would lu* a good tiling to have u slander book in all households. Are any of you given to this habit of whispering about others? Let me per suade you to desist. Mount Taurus was a gnat place for eagles, and cranes would fly along that way, and they would cackle so loud that the eagles would know of their coming and they would pounce upon them and de stroy them. It is said Halt the old cranes found tiiis out, and before they started on their flight they would al ways have ti stone in their mouth so they could not cackle, and then they would fly in perfect safety. Oh, my friends, lie as wise as Hie old cranes and avoid the folly of the young cranes! Do not cackle. If there are people here who are whispered about, if there are people here who are slandered, if there are people here who are abused lu any cir cle of life, let me say for your cucotir- ugcincnt Unit those whisperers soon run out. They nitty do a little damage for awhile, but after awhile their de tract Ion becomes it eulogy, and people understand them Just its well as though Home one chalked all over their over coat or their shawl these words: “Here goes a whisperer.
