[CopyriKlit, Louis Klopscli’ t in.
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.

Satan tines have to keep a very

I her the whole contract. She gets 1ms-

I bro hers ami sisters into antagonism,

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 would only change Shakespeare in

colvcs no one ns to what she is—than 1

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. Peddl'Ts of mix vomica. 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. Room for Hu* leper.
Room!” You go ahead and do your
duty, aud Hod will take care of your
reputation. How dare you distrust
him? You havo committed to him your
Holds. Can you not trust him with
your reputation? (Jet down «»a your
knees before Hod aud settle the whole
matter there. That man whom (Jod
takes care of Is well siioltried.
Proper l *«• of th»* TouKue,
Let me charge you, my friends, to
make rigid aud holy use of the tongue.
It Is loose at one end aud tun swing
eltiier way, but it Is fastened at the
oilier end to the floor of your mouth,
ami that malms you responsible for the
way it w;>s. Xanthus. tlie phlloso-
phe;*, told ids : cr*:inl that on the inor-
• market. The
ests sat down

four or li vo
iue cooked in
tins way and tongue cooked in that
way, .vail tits philosopher lost ids pa
tience and said to his servant, “Didn’t
l tell you to get the best tiling in the
market?” He said: “I did get Hie best
thing in the market, isn’t tlie tongue
the organ of sociality, the organ of
eloquento, tlie organ of kindness, tlie
organ of worship?”
Then Xanthus said, “Tomorrow I
want you to get the worst thing in the
market.” And on the morrow the phi
losopher sat at the table, and there was
j nothing there but tongue—four or five
■ courses of tongue—tongne lu this shape
| and tongue in that shape. And tlie
! philosopher again lost ids patience and
j said, “Didn’t 1 teli you to get the worst

plied, “1 did; fur isn’t the tongue tlie
j organ of blasphemy, the organ of defa-
| mation, the organ of lying?”
Oil. my friends, employ the tongue
i which God so wonderfully created us
J the organ of taste, the organ of deglu-
! tit ion, the organ of articulation to
j make others happy and in the service
of God! If you whisper, whisper good

only whisper consolation to thorn*

' per our hope of heave u.
I While I speak this very moment
; there are hundreds whispering their
| hist utterances. Oh, when that solemn
hour comes to you and to me, ns come
soon it will, may it lie found that we
did our host to serve Christ and to
cheer our comrades in tbe earthly
struggle and that we consecrated not
only our hand, but our tongue, to God!
So that the shadows that fall around
our dying pillow shall not be tbe even
ing twilight of a gathering night, but
the morning twilight of an everlasting
da y.
This morning, at half past 4 o’clock,
I looked out of mj* window, and tlie*
st.-u.s were very dim. 1 looked out u
few moments after, aud tlie stars were
almost invisible. 1 looked out an hour
or two afterward. Not a star was to
be seen. What was the matter with
the stars? Had they incited into dark
ness? No. They had melted into the
glorious light of a Sabbath morn.

W. L. JOHNSON,
Cnn’t Sell tlie Ijiiiuioiul.
Lord Henry Francis Hope, brother
and heir of the Duke of Newcastle,
who married May Yoke, the American
actress, made an application a fort
night ago to the chancery court of Lon
don for leave to sell tlx; celebrated
idue diamond, which la an heirloom of
the Hope estates, of which ids lordship
I is a life tenant. It was argued in his
j behalf that Hie diamond was looked up
ia Fan's bank and consequently was
of no benefit to any one. Tlie rest of
the family opposed the application,
and the court refused to grant the per
mission asked.

Discovered by :i WoitHin.
Another great discovery Las been
made, and that too, by u lady in this
country. "Disease fastened its
clutches upon her and for seven years
she withstood its severest tesls, but
her vital organs were undermined
and death seemed imminent. For
t hree months she coughed incessantly
and could t\pt sleep. She finally dis
covered a way to recovery, by pur
chasing of us a bottle of Dr. King’s
New Discovery for Consumption,
and was so much relieved on taking
first dose, that she slept all night;
and with two bottles iias been abso
lutely cured. Her name is Mrs,
Luther Lutz. Thus writes W. C.
Hamrick & Co., of Shelby, N. C.
