( '(Washington-, Jan. From an nrt- usual standpoint Dr. Talma^v in this discourse looks at tlu* duties and trials which belorur to th • different decades of human life; text. I’salins xc, 10, ‘‘The days of our years are threescore years and ten.” The seventieth milestone of life is here planted as at the end of the jour ney. A few go beyond it. Multitudes never reach it. The oldest person of modern times expired at 109 years. A Greek of the name of Stravaride lived to 132 years. An Fnglishinan of the name of Thomas Parr lived 1 '2 year;. Before the time of Moses people lived ir»0 years, and if you go far enough back they lived 900 years. Well, that was necessary, because the story of the world must come down by tradi tion, and it needed long life safely to transmit the news of the past. If tin generations had been short lived, tin story would so often have changed lips that It might have got all astray. But after Moses began to write it down and parchment told it from century to cen tury it was not necessary that people live so long in order to authenticate the events of the past. If in our time people lived only twenty-live years, that would not affect history, sinee it is put in print and is no l inger dependent on tradition. Whatever your age. I will today directly address you. and I shall speak to those who are in the twenties, the thirties, the forties, the fifties, the sixties, and to those who are in the sev enties and beyond. First, then. I accost those of you who are in the twenties. You are full of expectation. You are ambitious—that is, if you amount to anything—for some kind of success, commercial or median leal or professional or literary or agri cultural or social or moral. If 1 find some one in the twenties without any sort of ambition. I feel like saying: “My friend, you have got on the wrong planet. This is not the world for you. You are going to be in the way. Have yon made your choice of poorhousesV You will never be aide to pay for your cradle. Who is going to settle for your board? There is a mistake about the fact that you were born at all.” Advtce to the Tweutlpn. But. supposing you have ambition, let me say to all the twenties, expect every thing through divine manipulation, and then you will get all you want and something better. Are you looking for wealth? Well, remember that (Jod eon trols the money markets, the harvests, the droughts, the caterpillars, the lo custs. the sunshine, the storm, the land, the sea. and you will get wealth. Per haps not that which is stored up in the banks, in safe deposits.in United States securities, in houses and lands, but your clothing and board and shelter, and that Is about all you can appro priate anyhow. You cost the Lord a great deal. To feed and clothe and shelter you for a lifetime requires a big sum of money, and if you get nothing more than the absolute necessities you get an enormous amount of supply. Expect as much as you will of any kind of success, if you expect it from the Lord you are safe. Depend on any other resource, and you may be badly chagrined, but depend on (Jod and all will be well. It is a good thing in the crisis of life to have a man of large means back you up. It Is a great thing to have a moneyed Institution stand be hind you In your undertaking. But it is a mightier thing to have the God of heaven and earth your coadjutor, and you may have him. I am so glad that I met you while you are In the twen ties. You are laying out your plans, and all your life in this world and the next for live hundmi million years of your existence will be affected by those plans. It Is about 8 o'clock in the morning of your life, and you are Just starting out. Which way are you go ing to start? Oh. the twenties! “Twenty” is a great word in the Bi ble. Joseph was sold for twenty pieces of silver: Samson judged Israel twen ty years: Solomon gave Hiram twenty cities: the flying roil that Zecharlah saw was twenty cubits: when the sail ors of the ship on which Paul sailed sounded the Mediterranean sea. It was twenty fathoms. What mighty things have been done in the twenties! Rom ulus founded Rome when he was twen ty: Kents finished life at twenty-five; Lafayette was a world renowned soldier at twenty three; Oberlln ac complished his chief work at twen ty seven: Bonaparte was victor over Italy at twenty-six; Pitt was prime minister of England at twenty-two: Calvin had completed his lintnor tal “Institutes” by the time he was twenty-six; Gr this was attorney gen eral at twenty four. Some of the mightiest things for God and eternity have l>een done In the twenties. As long ns you can put the figure 2 before the other figure that helps describe your age I have high hopes nti ut you. Look Wut for that figure 2. IVnteh Its continuance with as much earnestness as you ever watched anything that promised you salvation or threatened you demolition. What a critical time— the twenties! While they continue you decide your occupation and the principles by which you will be guided; you make your most nbldlnsr friend ships; you arrange your home life: yon fix your habits. Lord God Al mighty, for Jesus Christ’s sake, have mercy on all the men and women in the twenties! Tlie WntGmr As;p. Next I accost those in the thirties. You are at an age when you And what a tough thing it is to get re cognized ami established in your occupation or profession. Ten years ago you thought ; j all that was necessary for success was , to put on your shutter the sign of phy- ! fieian or dentist or attorney or broker i or agent and you would have plenty I of business. How many hours you sat | and waited for business, and waited j in vain, three persons only know—God, ! your wife and yourself. In commer cial life you have not had the promo tion and the increase in salary you an ticipated, or the place you expected to i occupy in the firm has not been va- ! eated. The produce of the farm with : which you expected to support your- | self and those depending on you and | ; to pay the interest on the mortgage I I has been far less than you anticipated, ! or the prices were down, or special ex- | penses for sickness made drafts on your resources that you could not have I 1 expected. In some respects the hard- j est decade of life Is the thirties, be- , cause the results are generally so far j behind the anticipations. It is very rare indeed that a young man does as : did the young man one Sunday night when lie came to me and said. “I have been so marvelously prospered since I came to this country that I feel as a matter of gratitude that 1 ought to dedicate myself to God.” Nine-tenths of the poetry of life has been knocked out of you since you came into the thirties. Men in the different profes- | sions and occupations saw that y m . were rising, and they must put an es- i toppel on you or you might somehow stand in the way. They think you must be suppressed. From thirty to forty is an especially hard time for young doctors, young lawyers, young merchants, young farmers, young me chanics. young ministers. The strug gle of the thirties is for honest and helpful and remunerative recognition. But few old people kn w how to treat young people without patronizing them on the one hand or snubbing them on the other. Oh. the thirties! Joseph stood before I’baraoh at thirty: David was thirty years old when he began to reign; the height of Solomon’s temple j was thirty cubits: Christ entered up m i his active ministry at thirty years of j age; Judas sold him for thirty pieces ! of silver. Oh. the thirties! What a i word suggestive of triumph or disas j ter! Your decade is the one that will prob ably afford the greatest opportunity for victory because there is the great est necessity for struggle. Read the world’s history and know what are the thirties for g >od or bad. Alexander the Great closed his career at thirty-two: Frederick the Great made Europe tremble with his armies at thirty-five: Cortes conquered Mexico at thirty: Grant fought Shiloh and Donelsou when thirty-eight; Raphael died at thirty-seven; Luther was the hero of the reformation at thirty-five: Sir Phil ip Sidney got through by thirty-two. The greatest deeds for God and against him were done within the thirties, and your greatest battles are now and be tween the time when you cease ex pressing your age by putting tirst a figure 2 and the time when you will cease expressing it by putting first a figure 3. As it is the greatest time of the struggle, 1 adjure you. in God’g name and by God’s grace, make it the greatest achievement. My prayer is for all those In the tremendous crisis of the thirties. The fact is that by the way you decide the present decade of your history you decide all the follow ing decades. The Derade of D!«eovery. Next I accost the forties. Yours Is the decade of discovery. I do not mean the discovery of the outside, but the discovery of yourself. No man knows himself urtil he Is forty. lie overesti mates or underestimates himself. By that time he has learned what he can do or what he cannot do. He thought he had commercial genius enough to become a milllonaife. but now he is satisfied to make a comfortable living. He thought he had rhetorical power that would bring him Into the United States senate: now he Is content if he can successfully argue a common case before a i>etlt jury. He thought he had medical skill that would make him a Mott or a Grosso or a Willard Par ker of a Sims; now he finds his sphere is that of a family physician, prescrib ing for the ordinary ailments that af flict our race. He was sailing on In a fog and could not take a reckon!tig. but now It clears up enough to allow him to find out his real latitude and longitude. He has been climbing, but now he has got to the top of the hill, and be takes a long breath. He is half way through the Journey at least, and he Is in a position to look backward or forward. He has more good sense than he ever had. He knows human nature. f<>r he has been cheated often enough to see the bad side of It. and he lias met so many gracious and kind ly and splendid souls he also knows the good side of it. Now, calm your self. Thank God for the past and de liberately set your compass for anoth er voyage Y.»u have chased enough thistledown; you have blown enough soap bubbles: you have seen the un satisfying nature of all earthly things. Open a new chapter with God and tin* world. This decade of the forties ought to eclipse all Us predecessors in worship, in usefulness and in happi ness. The ReapIniK A«e. My sermon next uceosts the fifties. How queer It looks when In writing your age you make the first of the two figures a S Tiiis is the decade which shows what tin* other decades have been If a young man has sown wild oats and he has lived to this time, he reaps the harvest of It In the fifties, or If by necessity he was compelled to overtoil In honest directions he is called to settle up with exacting nature som j time during the fifties. Many have it | so hard in early life that they are octo genarians at fifty. Sciaticas and rheu matisms and neuralgias and vertigos and insomnias have their playground in the fifties. A man's hair begins to whiten and, although he may have worn spectacles before, now he asks the optician for No. 14 or No. 12 o.’ No. j 10. When lie gets a cough and is al- | most cured, he hacks and clears his throat a good while afterward. O ye who are in the fifties, think of it! A half century of blessing to be thankful for and a half century subtracted from an existence which, in the most mark ed cases of longevity, hardly ever reaches a whole century. By tills time you ought to lie eminent for piety. You have been in so many battles you ought to be a brave soluier. You have made so many voyages yon ought to he a good sailor. So long protected and blessed, you ought to have a soul full ! of doxology. In Bible times in Canaan every fifty years was by God’s com mand a year of jubilee. The people did not work that year, if property had by misfortune gone out of one's pos session. on the fiftieth year it came back to him. If he had fooled it away, it was returned without a farthing to pay* If a man had been enslaved, he was in that year emancipated. A trum pet was sounded loud and clear and long, and it was the trumpet of jubilee. They shook ham s, they laughed, they congratulated. What a time it was. that fiftieth year! And If under the old dispensation it was such a glad time, under our new and in re glorious dis pensation let nil who have come to the fifties hear the trumpet of jubilee that 1 now blow. That was the allusion made by Mr. Toplady, the great hym- nologist, when he wrote: BDw ye the trumpet, blow Th.' pcladiy so’- mn sound: Let ill the nations know. To earth's remotest bound, Tlv year of jubilee Is come; Return, ye ransomed sinners, home. Ye who have sold for nought Your heritage above Shall have it back unbought, The gift of Jesus' love. Th - year of Jubilee has come; Return, ye ransomed sinners, home At Threenpore. My sermon next accosts the sixties. The beginning of that decade is more startling than any other. In his chron ologieal j iitrney the man rides rather smoothly over the figures 2 and 3 and 4 and but the figure <5 gives him a big j Jolt. He says: “It cannot be that I am ] sixty. Let me examine the old family | record. I guess they made a uistake. j They got my name down wrong in the roll of births.” But, no, the older brothers or sisters remember the time of bis advent, and there is some relu- | tive a year older and another relative u year younger, and, sure enough, the fact is established beyond all disputa- ! tion. Sixty! Now your great danger is the temptation to fold up your facul ties and quit. You will feel a tendency to reminiscence. If you do not look out, you wiif begin almost everything I with the words, “When I was a boy.” But you ought to make the sixties more memorable for God and the truth than the fifties or the forties or the thirties. You ought to do more during the next ten years than you did in any thirty years of your life because of all the ex perience you have had. You have com mitted enough mistakes iu life to make you wise above your juniors. Now. un der the accumulated light of your past experimenting, go to work for God as never before. When a man in the sixties folds up his energy and feels l>e has done enough, it is the devil of indolence to which he is surrendering, and God generally takes the man at his word and lets him die right away. His brain, that under the tension of hard work is active, new suddenly shrivels. Men, whether they retire from secular or religious work, generally retire to the grave. No well man has a right to retire. The world was made to work. There remaineth a rest for the people of (Jod, but it is in a sphere beyond the reach of telescopes. The military charge that decided one of the greater battles of the ages—the battle of Wa terloo—was not made until 8 o’clock in the evening, but some of you propose to go into camp at 2 o’clock in the aft ernoon. At the Harbor Month. My subject next accosts those in the seventies and beyond. My word to them Is congratulation. You have got nearly If not quite through. You have safely crossed the sea of life and are about to enter the harbor. You have fought at Gettysburg, and the war is over—here and there a skirmish with the remaining sin of your own heart and the sin of the world, but 1 guess you are alxmt done. There may be ' some work for you yet on a small or large scale. Bismarck of Germany vig orous in the eighties. The prime min ister of England strong at seventy-two. Haydn composing his oratorio, “The | Ureation,” at seventy years of age. Isoc- ! rates doing some of his best work at seventy-four. Plato busy thinking for ' all succeeding centuries at eighty-one. Noah Webster, after making his world renowned dictionary, hard at work un til eighty-five years old. Rev. Daniel Waldo praying in my pulpit at one | hundred years of age. Humboldt pro ducing the Immortal “Gosmos” at sev enty-six years. William Blake at six- , ty-seven learning Italian so as to read Dante in the original. Lord Cockburn I at eighty-seven writing his best trea tise. John Wesley ttlrring great nudi cnees at eighty-five. William < . Bry ant. without spectacles, reading In my house “Thanutopsis" ut eighty-three years of age. Christian men and wo men In all departments serving God after becoming septuagenarians and ! octogenarians and nonagenarians prove that there are possibilities of work for the aged, hut I think you who are pass ed the seventies are near being through. How do y u feel about it? You ought to be jubilant, because lift* is a tremen dous struggle, and if you have got through respectably and usefully you j ought to feel like people toward the 1 close of a summer day seated on the rocks watching the su: set at Bar Har bor or Cape May or Lookout mountain. I I am glad to say that most old Chris tians are cheerful. Daniel Webster visited John Adams a short time before his death and found him in very in firm health. He said to Mr. Adams: “I am glad to see you. I hope y ut are get ting along pretty well." The reply was: “Ah, sir, quite the contrary. I find I am a poor tenant, occupying a house much shattered by time. It sways and trembles With every wind, and what is worse, sir, the landlord, as near as I can make out, does uot intend to make any repairs.” An aged woman sent to her physi cian and told him of her ailments, and the doctor said: “V\Tut would you have me do, madam? I cann t make you young again.” *81)0 replied: “I know that, doctor. What I want you to do is to help me to grow old a little lon ger.” The young have their troubles before them; the old have their trou bles behind them. Y u have got about all out of this earth that there is in it. Be glad t’.at you, an aged servant of God, are goi ’g to try an ither life and amid better suit utidings. Step look ing back and look ahead. O ye in the seventies and the eighties and the nineties, your host days are yet to come, your grandest ass eiations are yet to be formed, your best eyesight is j yet to be kindled, your best hearing Is yet to be awakened, your greatest speed is yet to be traveled, your glad dest song is yet t » be sung. The most of your friends have gone over the b ,r- der. and you are going to join them very s on They are waiting f r you; they tire watching the golden shore to ' see you land; they are watching the '< shining gate to see you come through; ! they tire standing by the throne to sec* you mount. What a glad hour when you drop the staff and take the scep ter. when you quit the stiffened j lints and become ;n itmn r!"l athlete! But hoar, hoar a remark pertinent to till people, whether it: the twenties, the thirth s. the forties, the fifties, the six ties. the seventies or beyond. T1»e Need of All Axes. What \ve ail need is to take the su peruatural into our lives. Do not let us depend mi brain and muscle and nerve. We want a mighty supply of the supernatural. We want with us a divine force mightier-than the waters and the tempests, and when the Lord took two steps on bestonued Galilee, putting one foot on the winds and the other on the waves, he proved himself mightier than hurricane and billow. We want with us a divine f roe greater than the fires, and when the Lord cool ed Nebuchadnezzar’s furnace uu'il Rhadrach, Meshach and Abednego did not even have to fan themselves lit* proved himself mightier than tin* fire. We want a divine force stronger than wild beast, and when the Lord made Daniel a lion tamer he proved himself stronger than the wrath of the jungles. There are so many diseases In the world we want with us a divine Physi cian capable of combating ailments, and our Lord when on earth showed what he could do with catalepsy and paralysis and ophthalmia and demen tia. Oh. take this supernatural Into all your lives! How to get it? Just as you get anything you want—by appli cation. A man got up In a New York prayer meeting and said: “God is my partner. I did business without him for twenty years and failed every two or three years. I have been doing business with him for twenty years and have not failed once.” Oh. take the suiter- natural Into all your affairs! I had such an evidence of the goodness of G<k1 in tenij»oral things when I entered life, I must testify. Called to preach at lovely Belleville, in New Jersey, I entered upon my work. But there stood the empty parsonage, and not a cent had I with which to furnish it. After preaching three or four weeks the officers of my church asked me if I did not want to take two or three weeks’ vacation. 7 said, "Yes,” for I had preached about all I knew, but I feared they must be getting tired of me. When I returned to the village after the brief vacation, they handed me the key of the parsonage and asked me if I did not want to go and look at it. Not suspecting anything had hnp- pened. I put the key Into the parson age do ;r and opened It. and there was the hall completely furnished with car pet and pictures and hatrack. and I turned Into the parlors, and they were furnished—the softest sofas I ever sat on-and into the study, and l found It furnished with bookcases, and I went into the bedrooms, and they were fur nished. and Into the pantry, and that was furnished with every culinary ar ticle, and the splceboxcs were filled, and a flour barrel stood there ready to be opened, and I went down Into the dining room, and the table was set and beautifully furnished, and Into the kitchen, and the stove was full of fuel, and a match lay on the top of the stove, and all I had to do in starting house- . keeping was to strike the match. God 1 Inspired the whole thing, and If I ever doubt his goodness all up and down th<* world call me an Ingrate. I testify ! that I have been in many tight places, j and God always got me out. and he will , get you out of the tight places. But the most of you will never reach I the eighties or the seventies or tin* six ths or the fifties or the forties. He 1 who passes into the forties has gone far beyond the average of human life. Amid the uncertainties take God through Jesus Christ as your present and eternal safety. The longest life | Is only a small fragment of the great eternity. We will all of us soon be ! there. Eternity, how near It rob*! Count thr vast value of your Souls. Beware and count th'* awful cost What they have gained whose souls are lost. ICopyrlght, 1902, Louis Klopsch, N. Y.J tier Marriaat- Dot. The Emperor Joseob.II. was in the habit of walking about incognito. One morning he went info a coffee shop and asked for a cup of chocolate. He was plainly dressed and the wait ers, being ignorajit of bis rank, in solently refused it, saying it was too i early. i Without making any reply he walked out and went into a iittle cof fee house hard by and asked for a cup of chocolate*. The landlord an swered that it should be ready in a moment. While he waited for it he walked up and down and was conversing on , different subjects when the luudl. id's daughter, a very pretty girl, made her appearance. The emperor wished her good day and observed to her father that it was , high time a flower la full bloom should marry before it faded. “Ah," replied the honest oid man, “if 1 had but a thousand crowns 1 could marry her to a fine young man who is very fond of her! But. sir, the chocolate Is ready.” The emperor ealied for a pen, ink and paper. The girl ran to feteh them, when he gave her an onh r on his banker for the thousand crowns. A I ninue fle«|n«*st. Among tin* experiences that helped a now prominent attorney to emerge from the condition of a briefless bar rister he tells the following: One day a miserly old fellow came to him and asked that the young attorney draw up a will. “How much cash have you?’’ was the tirst interrogation. "Waal. I dtinuo.” respond d the cli ent; “sumewheres nigh on to .$30,000, 1 reckon." "How do you wish it divided?” “I want my old woman to have 000. and you can say that 1 give and bequeath ”>.009 to each of my three children.'' ouid the old man. unloading himself of the legal phrase with much gravity and deliberation. "What else do you wish to say?” “Say that to each of my several nieces and nephews 1 also give the sum of .$r>.ooo.” "Hold on. sir: this is a work of su pererogation. You have already dis posed of ail your money. How are they to be given the* sums you speci fy?” “Gol darn ’em. let ’em work for it. ns I did!” came the answer.—Sau Fran cisco Wave. Cnder a Mliitnke. The stranger stepped up to the hotel register and wrote his name thus: “Gabriel Plunkett, Squibnocket. Ma-s.” The stranger Immediately behind him then stepped up. looked at the name, 1 smiled somewhat incredulously and made this entry himself: "Israel Snodgrass.Snohomish, Wash.” Then the two men glared at each oth er. “Think I’m klddln*. do you?” “Trying to make fun of me. are you?” Biff! Bang! "For heaven’s sake, gentlemen,” ago nizingly exclaimed the hotel clerk, “stop! You are under a misappreheu- sign. I know both of you ami know those to be your real names and the real names of the towns you are from!” By strenuous efforts he succeeded In separating them, and a few moments later they were apologizing profusely and insisting with much vehemence on treating each other.—Chicago Tribune. The Scale* on the Hair. If you look at a human hair under the microscope, you will find that Us surface is formed of successive over lapping scales. The bristles of the bog bear much resemblance to the human hair! though their diameter is greater and the tilelike scales are much finer. Sheep’s hair has much coarser scales. It Is owing to the existence of these scales that a schoolboy is able by a pe culiar process to tell which Is the tip and which the other end of a hair roll ing It between his finger and thumb. Thus manipulated, the hair always travels In the directiou of the base be cause the edges of the scales prevent it from going the other way. Canada'* Banking Bnalne**. The banking business in Canada Is on a different plan from that in this country. The headquarters of most of the banks throughout the Dominion is In Ontario, either at Hamilton. King ston or Toronto. Each hank has its central office, generally In one of the cities named, and ns many branches as It cares to maintain In different parts of Canada, some of these branches be ing as fur distant as Dawson.

A certain Benedict was tu the habit of troubling his father-in-law with complaints about his wife’s behavior. "Really, this is too bad." cried the irascible old gentleman one day, on bearing of some of his daughter's de linquencies. "If I hear any more com plaints I wtll-disiubcrlt her.”—Loudon Telegraph.
