Washington, Nov. 24.—This discourse of Dr. Talmage is a national congratu lation over ti:e achieve tents of brain and baud during the past twelve months. T!?e texts are: I Corinthians ix, 10, "lie that plowetli should plow in hope;” I-aiah xli. 7. ‘Tie that • inoothcth with *he hammer;'' Juduv. v. 1 1, “They that handle'the pen of tie- writer.” There is a table being spread across the top of the t ,vo great ranges of mountains which ridge this continent, a table which reaches front the Allan iie to the I’acilic sea. It is the Thanh-- ivliig tal»ie of the nation. They will eome from the east and the west and he north ami C e sot.tli and sit at it. u it art* smoking the produets of all '.aids, birds of every aviary, cattle from every pasture, fish from every lake, feather-’d spoils from every farm. The fruit baskets bend down under th ■ products plucked from the peachtields of Maryland, the apple orchards of western New York, the orange groves of Florida, the vineyards of Ohio am! the nuts thrashed from New England woods. The bread is white from the vvheatflelds of Illinois and Michigan, the banqueters are adorned with CaP- fomla gold, and the table is agleani with Nevada silver, and the feast is warmed with the lire grates heaped up with Pennsylvania eoal. The hall is spread with carpets from Lowell mills, and at night the lights will tl-'sh from bronxed brackets of Philadelphia man n fact tire. Welcome, Thanksgiving day! What ever we may think of New England theology, we all like New England Thanksgiving day. What means the steady rush to the depots and the long mil ifalns darting their lanterns aloi::: the tracks of the Poston and Lowell, the < Jeorgia Central, the Chicago Orent Western, the St. Paul and Duluth an t the Southern railway? Ask the happv group in the New England farmhouse; ask the villagers whose song of praise in the morning will eome over tlm Berkshire hills: ask all the plantain.us of the south which have adopted tlm New England custom of setting apart it day of thanksgiving. Oh. it is a great day of national festivity! Clap your hands, ye people, and shout aloud for joy! Through the organ pipes let there eome down the thunder < f a nation's rejoicing! Blow the cornet! Wave the palm branches! “Oh. that men would praise the Lord for ids goodness and for his wonderful works to the ehil dreu of men!" Victories of Penee. For 1 vio years anti a half this nation has booii celebrating the triumph f sword and gun and battery. We have sung martial airs ami cheered return ing heroes and sounded the f , 'juiem for the slain in battle. Methinks il will he si healthful ehsinge if on this year's Thanksgiving In church am! homestead we celebrate tin* victories of the plow, the hammer ami the pen. for nothing was done at Santiago or Manila that was of more importance than that which in the last year has been done in farmer's field and me chanic's sli> p and author’s study by those who never wore an epaulet or shot a Spaniard or went a hundred miles from their own doors!!!. Como i:p. farmers and mechanics and liter ary men. and get your dues as far as I can pay them. Things have marvelously changed Time was when the stern edict of gov ernments forbade religious assembla ges. Those who dared to be so uuloyal lo their king as to acknowledge loyalty to the Head of the universe were pun kshod. Churches awfully silent in wor shin suddenly heard their doors swung open, and down niton tin* church aisle a score of muskets thumped as tin* leaders bade them “Ground arms!" This custom of haring the fathers, the husbands, the sons and brothers at the entrance of the pew is a custom which came down from olden time, when it was absolutely necessary that the fa ther or brother should sit at the end of ttie church |>cw fully armed to defend the helpless portion of the family Bur now bow changed! Severe penalties are threatened agaluat any one who shall interrupt religious services, and annually, at the command of the high cst official in tbe United tttates. we gather together for thanksgiving and holy worship. Today I would stir your souls to joyful thanksgiving while I speak of the mercies of Cod and in un- conventional way recount the con quests of the plow, the hammer and the pen. Most of the Implements of husband ry have been superseded by modern I n vent ions, but the plow has never lost Its reign. It has furrowed Its way through all the ages. Its victories have I teen waved by the bailey of >'a lest I tie. the wheat of I'ersia. the tlnx of Her many, the riecHtalks of China, the rich grasses of Daly It has turned up the tnammotli of Siberia, the mastodon of Egypt and the pine groves of Thessaly Its Iron fool liatli tnarehed where Mo ses wrote and Homer sang and Ails ♦otle taught and Alexander mounted his war charger It hath wrung its colter on Norwegian wilds and ripited out the stumps of the American forest, pushing its way through the savtiti nas of the ('Ri'olimiK and trembling in the grasp of tile New Hampshire veo matiry. American civilization hath kept stef) with the rattle of its clevises • ml on its beitm hath ridden thrift and national pleuty. I do not wonder that the Japanese and the Chinese and the IMirenieians so particularly extolled husbandry or that Cinclunatus went from the consul- fehip to the plow or tlrtit Noah was a farmer before he became a shipbuijder or that Elisha was in the held plowing with twelve yoke of oxen when the mantle tell on him or that the Egyp tians in their paganism worshipl*d the ox us a tiller of their lands. To get an appreciation of what the American plow has accomplished 1 take you into the western wilderness. Here in the dense forest I lind a col lection of Indian wigwams. With belts of wampum the men lazily sit on the skins of deer, smoking their feathered calumets, or. driven forth by hunger, 1 track their moccasins far away as they make the forest echoes crazy with their wild halloo or tish in the waters of the still lake. Now tribes challenge, and council fires blaze, and warwhoeps ring, and chiefs lift the tomahawks for battle. After awhile wagons from the Atlantic coast eome to those forests. By day trees are felled, and by night bonfires keep off the .wolves. Log cab ins rise, and the great trees begin to throw their branches in the path of the conquering white man. Farms are cleared. Stumps, the monuments of slain forests, crumble and are burned. Villages appear, with smiths at the bellows, masons on the wall, carpen ters on the housetop. Churches rise in honor of the Great Spirit whom the red men ignorantly worship. Steamers on the lake convey merchandise to her wharf and carry east the uncounted bushels that have eome to the market. Bring hither wreaths of wheat and crowns of rye and let the mills and the machinery of barn and field unite their voices to celebrate the triumph, tor the wilderness hath retreated and the plow hath conquered. Triumph of Huiibandry. Within our time the presidential cab inet has added a secretaryship of agri culture. Societies are constantly being established for the education of the plow. Journals devoted to this depart ment are circulated through all the country. Farmers through such cul ture have learned the attributes of soils and found out that almost every field has its peculiar preferences. Lands have their choice us to which product they will bear. Marshy low lands touched by the plow rise and wring out their wet locks in the trench es. Islands horn down on the coast of Peru and Bolivia are transported to our fields atnl make our vegetation leap. Highways by this plow are changed from boggy sloughs into roads like the Homan Appian way. Fields go through bloodless revolutions until there the farmhouse stands. In sum mer honeysuckles clamber over the trellises. On one side there stands a garden, which is only a farm condens ed. On the other side there is a stretch of meadow land with thick grass, and as the wind breathes over It it lo <ks like the deep green ocean waves. There goes a brook, larryiiig long in Us wind- ! lugs, as if loath to leave the spot wh.-re the reeds sing, and the cattle stand at noonday under thr shadow of the weeping willows. In winter the sled comes through the crackling snow with huge logs from tin* woods, and the barn floor quakes under the thumpings of the flail or the deafening buzz, of the thrashing machine. Horses stand beneath mow poles bending under loads of hay and whinny to the well tilled oat bins. C< mfort laughs at the wind rattling the sashes and clicking tin* Icicles from the eaves. Parts of our country, under Industri ous tillage, have become an Eden of fruit fulness, in which religion stands as the tree of life and educational ad vantages as the tree of knowledge of good and evil, not one of them forbid den. We tire ourselves surrounded by well cultured farms. They were work ed by your fathers, and perhaps your mot Iters helped spread the Itay In the field. On their headstones are the names you hear. As. when you were boys. Id the sultry noon you sought f - r the harvest field with refreshments for your fathers and found them taking their noon spell sound asleep under the trees, so peacefully now they sleep lit some country churchyard. No more fatigued. Death has plowed for them the deep furrow of a grave. AffHealtural Proaperltr. Although most of us have nothing di rectly to do with the tillage of the soil, yet In all our oceupatious we feel the effect of successful or blighted indus try. We must, in all our occupations, rejoice over the victories of tbe plow today. The earth was once cursed for man's sake, and occasionally tbe soil revenges itself oo us by refusing a bountiful harvest. I suppose that but for sin tbe eartb would be producing wheat and corn and sweet fruits as naturally as now It produces mullein atalks and Canada tblatlea. There Is hardly a hillock between tbe forests of Maine and the lagoons of Florida, be tween the peach orchards of New Jer sey and the pines of Oregon, that, has not sometimes shown Ha natural and total depravity. Praise God for the great harvests that have been reaped this last vear! Borne of them Injured by drought or Insects or freshets were not as bounti ful as usual, others far lu excess of what have ever before been gatheied. while higher prices will help make up for any decreased supply. Sure sign of agricultural prosperity we have in the fact that tattle and horses and sheep ami swine and all farm animals have during the last two years Increased in value. Twenty million swine slaugh tered this Inst year, and yet so many hogs left. Enormous paying off of farm mortgages has spoiled the old speeches of the calamity bowlers. If the ancients In their festivals present ed their rejoicings before Ceres, the goddess of corn and tillage, shall we neglect to rejoice In the presence of the great God now? From Atlantic to Pa cific l*T the American nation celebrate the vl 'torles of the plow.

In hot haste our na tional Industry advances, her breath the air of IO.uimi furnaces, her song the The mailbags at the smallest postof- fices disgorge large packages of intelli gence for the people. Academies with maps, glob s and philosophic appara tus have been taking the places of those institutions where thirty or forty years ag ) you were put to the torture. Men selected for their qualifications are intrusted with the edueatior of our youth instead of thus** teachers who formerly with a drover's shout and goad compelled the young generations up the hill of science.

Talk about antediluvian longevity! 1 think the average of hu man life is more now than it ever was. Through mechanical facilities men work so much faster and accomplish po much more in a lifetime that a man can afford to die now at forty years as well as one of old at 1MX>. I think the average of human life in point of ac complishment is n w equivalent to about 800 year*, as near as 1 can calcu late. In all our oceupatious and pro fessions we feel the effect of a crippled or enlarged mechanical enterprise. We all have stock in every ho*.:.-;.* that is builded and in every public conveyance that is constructed and in ever;, ship that is sailed. When we see the hard working men of tin* land living in com fortable abodes, with luxuries un n their table that once even kings could not afford, having the advantage of thorough education, of accomplishment and art. we are all ready at this sea son to unite with the m in praise to God for his goodness. You shall yet s**e American labor ris ing up with a stronger arm and a stout er heart and a swarthier frame. New cities will be built. Commerce on the lakes will take nc'v wines. Whei*'* n" »• stand unbroken forests great capitals of business and aiiluenee will rise, and streams that have idled away years will he harnessed to ponderous machinery and compelled to toil and Eweat like the Cl.att.ihoochee and the Merrlmae. At one of our great d:y- do<*i;s we shall yet build the mo b*l ocean steamship, it will come together under the chorus of a theusand Ameri can hammers. She shall start amid a great * national hurrah and move far out at sea as though an island had been unanehored with its forests of masts or as if some one laid said hi Scripture phrase unto a mountain, “Be thou east into the sea.” The volcano in h >r heart will sprinkle on the sen a baptism of fire, and as she goes up the channel of St. George among the ship yards of the old world and among the wheels of Liverpool and Manchester shall be announced the skill and the glory of the American hammer. ConqneatN of the Pen. Now I come to speak of the conquests of the pen. This is the symbol of all Intellectuality. The painter’s pencil and the sculptor’s chisel and the philoso pher’s laboratory are nil brothers to the pen. and therefore tills may he used as a symbol of Intellectual advance ment. There are those disposed to de cry everything American. Having seen Melrose and Glastonbury by moonlight, they never behold among us an impres sive structure, or, having strolled through the picture galleries of the Louvre and the Luxembourg, they are disgusted with our academies of art It makes me sick to bear these people who have been to Europe come borne talking with a foreign accent and ap ing foreign cuatoma and talking of moonlight on castles by tbe sea. I think the biggest fool In tbe country Is tbe traveled fool. But. considering tbe yon'b of our na tion and the fact that comparatively tew persons devote themselveo entirely to literature, I think we have great reason to thank God fer the progress of our American literature. As historians have we not had in the past such men as Bancroft and Prescott, as essayists Irving and Emerson, as jurists Story and Marshall and Kent, as theologians Edwards and Hodge, as poets Pierre- pont and Sprague and Longfellow and Bryant, as sculptors Powers and Craw ford and Palmer, ns painters such men as West nnd Cole and Inman and Ken- sett? And among the living Americans ! what galaxies of intellectual splendor and power! Edward Eggleston and Will Carleton and Mark Twain and John Kendrick Bangs and Marion liar- land and Margaret Sangster and Stock- ton nnd Churchill and llopkluxon Smith and Irving Baeheller and Julia Ward Howe nnd Amelia Barr and Blunder i Matthews and Thomas Nelson Page and Elizabeth Stuart Phelps ami Wil liam Dean Howells and a score of oth ers, some of them fixed stars and some meteors. As the pen has advanced oiy colleg**s and universities and observatories have wise men looking over their spectacles to see if you can parse the first page In Youngs “Night Thoughts” until verbs nnd conjunctions and participles and prepositions get into a grand riot worthy of the Fourth ward on election day. How things have marvelously chang ed! We used to cry because we had to go to school. Now children cry if tin y cannot go. Many of them can intelli gently discuss political topics long lie- fore they have seen a ballot box or, teased by some poetic muse, can com pose articles for the newspapers. Phi losophy ami astronomy and chemistry have been so improved that he must lie a genius at dullness who knows noth ing about thorn. On one shelf of u poor man's library is more practical knowl edge than in the -Hnt.ObO volumes of ancient Alexandria, and education is possible for the most indigent, and no legislature or congress for the last fifty years has assembled which has not had in it rail splitters and farmers and drovers or men who have been accus tomed to toiling with tiie baud and the foot. The pen which Moses dipped in the light of tiie first morning, and Jere miah fillet! with tears, and Ezekiel thrust in visions of fire, and Matthew touched with the blood of a cross, ami St. John dipped hi the splendors of beatific glory—that [ten lias wrougnt marvels for all classes of our people. Today our libraries and colleges and schools and publishing houses and churches celebrate the ever growing conquests of the American pen. and our prospects are all the time brighten ing. PntlricMN of tlx- Ilnrvi'Mt. The graiafields have passed their harvests above the veto of draught and deluge. The freight ears are not large enough to bring down tin* grain to the seaboard. The eanalhoats are crowded with hreadstuffs. Hark to the rushing of the wheat through Jhe great Chica go corn elevators! Hark to the rolling of the hogsheads of the Cincinnati pork packers! Enough to eat. and at low prices; enough to wear, and of home manufacture. If some have and some have not, then may God help those who have to hand over to those who have n t! Clear tbe track for the rail trains that rush on bringing the wheat and the cotton and tiie rice and the barley and the oats and the hops and the lumber and the leather nnd ev erything for man and everything for beast! Lift up your eyes. O nation of God’s right hand, at the glorious prospects! Build larger your barns for the har vests; dig deeper tbe vats for the spoil of the vine3*nrds; enlarge the ware houses for the merchandise; multiply galleries of art for the pictures and statues. Advance, O nation of God’s right band, but remember that nation al wealth. If unaanctlfied, la aumptu- oub waste, la moral ruin, la magnificent woe. Is splendid rottenness, is gilded death! Woe to us for tbe wine rats if drunkenness wallows In them! Woe to us for tbe harvests If greed sickles them! Woe to us for tbe merchandise If avarice swallows It! Woe to us for the .cities if misrule walka them! Woe to the land If God defying crime de bauches it! Our only safety Is In more Bibles, more churches, more free schools, tn re good meu and more good women, more consecrated printing press***, more of the glorious gospel of the Son of God, which will yet extir pate nil wrongs and Introduce all bless edness. But the preachers on Thanksgiving morning will not detain with long ser mons their hearers from the home group. The hoiisekeeiMTS will be an gry If tbe guests do not arrive until the viands are cold.
