irritable temper and bowils hound

nuzzled the physicians and still pr.z-
-des them. It is the commonest of
lilments and yet the most ccmpli-
■ated and mysterious. Sometimes
t is treated as consumpt: on, i«ome-
imes as liver complaint, and then
again as malaria and even heart dis-
ease. But its real nature is that of
constipation and dyspepsia. It arises
in the digestive organs and soon
affects all the others through the
corrupted and poisoned blood.
Often the whole body—including
the nervous system—is literally
starred, even when tli€re ;is nc
emaciation to tell the nad story.
Experience has shown tiat there is
put one remedy that car certainly
cure this disease in all its stages,
namely. Shaker Extract o ' Roots or
Mother Seigel’s Curative Syrup. It
never fails but. nevertheless, no time
should be lost in trying* other so-
called remedies, for they will do no
good. Get this great vegetable
preparation, (discovered by a vener-
able nurse whose name is a house-
hold word in Germany) and be sure
to get the genuine article.

DiSCOURGE BY DR. TALMAGE IN THE
BROOKLYN TABERNACLE.
The Gymnasium us a Moans of Recuper-
ating Mental and Physical Energies.
3Iusic a Source of lllimituble Recrea-
tion and Amusement.
Brooklyn, Dec. is.—At the tabernarlu
tills morning the whole congregation sang
the hymn beginning:
f he hill of Zion yields
A thousand sacred sweets
Before we reach the heavenly fields,
Or walk the golden streets.
Tho Rev; T. De Witt Talnmge, D. D.,
preached on “Recreations. Good and Bad/-’
taking two texts: I Corinthians, vii, UL:
“‘They thal use this world, as not abusing
it," and Judges xvi, Li>: “Audit came*to
jia-'.s, when their hearts were merry, tliat
they said: Call for Samson, that he may
make us sport. And they culled for Samson
out of the prison house: and ho made them
sport.” Dr. Talmage said:
Wo are entering the gayest season of the
year. The winter owns before us the gates
of a thousand amusements, some of them
g'. od and some bad. One of my texts will
show you that amusements may be destruct-
ive,* riy other text will show you that amuse-
ments may be under the Divine blessing and
direction.
There were threo thousand tropic assom-
1 *h*d in tho templeof Dagon. They had come
t ■ make sp< »rt of eyeless SanLs<»n. They were
all ready for tho entertainment. They began
to clap and pound, impatient for the amuse-
ment to begin, and they cried; “Fetch him
out! Fetch him out!” Yonder 1 see the blind
giant coming. L-d by tin* hand of a child into
th ■ very i. idst < »f tho temple. At his first ap-
jKvu-ance there g«x.*s up a shout of laughter
an 1 derision. The blind old giant pretends
be is tired and wants to rest liimself against
th- pillars of the house; so he says to the lad
who leads him: “Show me where tho mein
pillars are.” 'ihe lad does so. Then the
strong man puts his right hand on one pillar
ami his left hand on another pillar, and, with
ti-.e might iest push that mortal over made,
throws himself forward until the whole
house comes down in thuuderous crash,
g. tiding tho audience like gra;>es in a wine
press. “And so it came to pass, when their
hearts were merry, that they said: Cull for
Ha listen, that ho may make ns sport. And
they called for Samson out of the prison
bouse; and lie made them sport.”
In other words, there a re amusements that
arc destructive, and bring down disaster aud
de.-.ih upon the heads of those who practice
them. While they laugh and cheer, they die.
1 ie* three thousand who peris,.ed that day in
'Gnzn are as nothing compared with tho. tens
of thousands who have been destroyed by
sin ful amusements.
But the other r *:*ct I liavo read implies that
there is a lawful use of the world, as well as
an unlawful abuso of it; aud the difference
l>e> ween the man Christian and the man un-
Christian is that in the former case the man
masters the world, while in the latter case the
world masters him. For whom did God
make this grand and beautiful world.* For
whom this wonderful ox]>oiiditur* of color,
ties gracefulness of lino, this mosaic of the
ground, this fresco of the sky, this glowing
fruitage of on-hard and Vineyard, this full
orchestra of the temj»est, in which the tree
branches flute uud the winds triuujret and the
tro thunders drum ami all the splendors of
earth and sky come clashing their cymbals:
For whom did God spring the arched bridge
of colors resting upon buttresses of broken
storm cloud: For whom did he gather the
upholstery of lire around the window of the
seCing sun? F<»r all men, but more especially
for his own dear childrea.
I: you build a large mansion and spread a
great feast after it to celebrate the comple-
tion of the structure, do you allow strangers
to come in and occupy tlie pla(*e, while you
thrust your own children in the kitchen or
the barn or tho fields? Oh, no. You say, “I
am very glad to see strangers in my man-
sion, b it my own sons and daughters shall
have the first right there.” Now, God has
built this grand mansion of a world, ami he
has spread a glorious feast in it; and while
those who are strangers to his grata? may
come in, I think that God specially intends to
give th-* advantage to his own children,
those who tire the sons and the daughters of
the Ire-rd Almighty, tho:*? who through
gran* 'an 3 )ok up and say, “Abba, Father.1’
You eani'ot make me believe that God given
more advauttiges to tho world than he
gives-to the church bought by lus own
1)1 <0*1. If, therefore, people of tho
world have 1>.Hiked with dolorous sympa-
thy upon those who make profession of
religion, aud lw*ve said, “'Those new converts
mv going down into privation and into hard-
ship. Why did not they tarry a little longer
in th-* world, aud have .some of its enjoy-
men - and amusements and rt?^cations:“ I
sax to sucli men of the world, “You are
greatly nustaki-n,” and before I get through I
wiii show that those people who stay out of
the kingdom of God have the hardships and
self denials, while those who come in have
th - joys and the satisfactions.
This morning, in the name of the King of
hea*. -n and earth, I serve a writ of ojoct-
merit *ipon all the sinful and jjolmted who
hay** squatted mi the domain of earthly
pleusnre as though it belonged to them, while
I c!;«im. in Indudf of tho good and tho pure
a.’>. i tho true, tho eternal inheritance which
G?xi h:is give’i them.
Il therto, Christian philanthropists, cleri-
cal nod lay, have busied themselves chiefly ii
rioiruneing si-ful recreations; but. I feel we
imv*! uo right to stand licfore me.V mid women
in whose hearts there is a de»ii^ for recrea-
tion amounting to j*ositivo net viasity, de»
r.o ineing this mid 1 hut and the other thing
when we d<> not propose to give them wome
thing lictter. ’ «od helping me tliis morning,
and with reference to my last account, 1 shall
enter upon a sphere not usual in sermoniz
in:r, but a subject which I think ought to lie
presented nt tis time. I propose now to Ja>
before you some of the recreation which are
no-1 only innocent, but positively helpful ajiu
advantage >us.
I » the first place, I commend, among in-
door recreations, music, vocal aud iust.ru-
tne-.Tai. Among the first things created was
the bird, so that the earth might have music
at th.- start. This world, which began with
so sweet a serenade, is finally to lie demol-
ished amidst t he ringing blast of tho,arcli-
angel's trumpet, so that os there was music
nt the start, tliorc shall be music at the close.
While this heavenly art has often lx*>n
draggol into the uses of superstition and <li.s
sijftition, we ait know it may be th** means of
high moral culture. Oh, it is a grand thing
to l ave our children brought up amidst- the
sound of cultured voices and amidst the
or-lody of musical instruments. There is in
thi.-* art an indescribable fascination for the
household, ire*t all those families who have
tlic means to afford ir. luivo flute or harp, or
piano or organ. Assoonjis tho hand is hu-go
enough to compass tho keys, Unieh it how to
pick out, the melody. Let all our young men
try this heavenly urt upon their nature.
•Themewho have gone into it fully huve fouud
j* H inimitable rei-rcation mid amusement.
Dark da ya, siortuy nights, ksasoiis of sick-
iit*as, business disasters, will do littje toward
depressing ih« soul whi/-h can pa Hop off over
musieal keys or soar in jubilant lay. It will
euro pain. It will r«>st fatigue. It will quell
passion, It will re vivo health. It will re-
claim •b’wrfpation, It will atrongtheu the im-
mortal s*>ul. Tn the iiatllo of “Waterhio, Wel-
lington kuw that the Highlander* wero fak-
ing back. He -aid: “VVTiat is tlie matter
there f” Ho was told that the band of music-
had ceawsi playing, and ho culled up the
pipers and ordered them to strike up an in-
spiriting air; and uo sooner did they strike
the air than the Highlanders were rallied and
ht*i’H.*d to win tho day. Oh, ye who have
been routed in tho conflicts of life, try by tho
force of music to raliy your sca.it ered bat-
talions.
I am glad to know tint in our great cities
there is hardly a night in which there are not
concerts where, with tho best musical instru-
ments and the sweetest voices, people may
hud entertainment. Patronize such enter-
tainments when they are afforded you. Buy
season tickets if you can for the “Philhar-
monic’1 and the “Handel and Haydn” socie-
ties. Feol that the dollar and a half or-two
dollars that you spend for tho purpose of
hearing an artist play or sing is a profitable
investment. Let your Stein way halls and
your academies of music roar with the ac-
clamation of appreciative audiences assem-
ble!! at* tho concert or the oratorio.
Still further, 1 commend ns wo -I hy of sup-
port the gymnasium. This institution is
gaining in favor every year, anil I know of
nothing more free from dissipation or more
calculated to recuperate the* physical h*><1
mental energies. While there are a good
many people wlio have employed this insti-
tution there is a vast mimlH-r who are ig-
nonuit of its excellences. There are men
with cramped chests and weak .-ides and de-
spondent spirits who through the gymnasium
might be roused up to exuberance and ex-
hilaration of life. There are many < ’liri-tiau
people despondent from year to year who
might t hrough such an institution be bene-
fited in their spiritual relations. There are
Christian people who seem to thiuk that it i.-
e good sign to bo poorly, and because Richard
Baxter and Roliert Hall were invalids they
think that by the same sickliness they maj
come to the same grandeur of character. 1
want to tell t he Christian people of my con-
gregation that * tod will hold you responsible
for your invalidism if it is your fault aud
when through right exercise and prudence
you might be athletic and well. The effect
of the body upon the soul you acknowledge.
Put a man of mild disposition upon tho ani-
mal diet of which the Indian partakes and iD
a little while his 1 flood will change its chemi
cal proportions. It will become like unto
tho blood of the lion or tho tiger or th*> bear,
while liis disposition will change and Ix'eome
tiereo, cruel and unrelenting. The body has
a powerful eifect upon tho soul.
There aro good people whose, ideas of
heaven are all i-hut out with clou* is of tobac-
co smoke. There are people v. ho dare to
shatter the physical vase in wlii< *U God has
put tho jewel of eternity. There arc men
with great hearts aud intellects in 1 o; lies worn
out by their own neglects—magnificent ma-
chinery, capable of propelling a Great East-
ern across the Atlantic, yet fastened in a
rickety North river propeller. Martin
Lutlior was so mighty for God, first, because
lie had a noble soul, and secondly, because he
had a muscular development which would
have enabled him to thrash any five of Ids
persecutors, if it had been Christ! in so to do.
Physical development which merely shows
itself in fabulous lifting, or in i«-rilous rope
walking, or in pugilistic encounter, excites
only our contempt; but we confess to great
admiration for the man who has a great
soul i.i an athletic body, every nerve, muscle
aud hone of which id consecrated to right
uses. Oh, it seems to me outrageous that
men, through neglect, should allow their
physical health to go down beyond repair. A
ship which oug ht, with all sail set and every
man at Ills post, to be carrying a rich cargo
for eternity, employing al 1 its men u stopping
up leakages! When you may, hrough the
gymnasium, work off your spk-n aud your
querulousia-ss and onb-half of your physical
an<l mental ailments, do not turn your back
upon such a grand medicament.
; Hti 11 further: I commend to you a large
class of jnrlor games aud m*iv*ii ions. There
is a way of making our hotnc a hundred
fold more attractive tliau they aro now.
j Tho:*? parents cannot expect to keep their
I children away from outside di*v ltious uu-
! lesi they make the domestic cirt c brighter
than anything they can find outside of it. Do
* not, then, sit in your home surly and unsym-
; pathetic, aud with a half condemnatory look.
ix*#anse of rise sportfulness of yuiu- cliiMreii.
You were young once yourself; ] -' your chil-
dren be young. Because your eyes are dim
and your ankles are stiff do not denounce
sportfulucss i:i those upon who-o eye there
is the first luster, and in whose loot there is
tin* iKHUKling joy of robust health. I thank
God that in our ditiwiug rooms and in our
]>arloi-s their? aro innumerable games and
spprts which have n<*t in a. n them tire least
taint of iniquity. Light up afi your homes
with innocent, hilarities. Do jure sit down
with the rheumatism, wondering how
children can go on so. Rather lhauk God
that “their hearts aro so ligh. and their
laughter is so free, and that their cheeks are
so ruddy and that their expectations ai-o so ra-
diant. The night will come soon enough,
and tho heartbreak, and the nang, and the
desolation—it will come soon enough for tie*
dear children. But when the storm actually
clouds the sky it. will be time enough for
you to haul out your reef tackles. Carry,
then, into your homes not only the innocent
sjKU-tn and games which arc the inventions of
our own day, but tho games which come
down with the sportfulness of ail the past
ages—chess and charades, aud tableaux and
battledore, and cal irthenics aud lawn tennis
aud all those amusements which the young
people of our homes know so well how to
contrive. Then there will bo the parlor soci-
alities—groups of pcoplo assembled in your
homes, with wit aud mimicry ami joviality,
j filling tho room with joy from ho <l<x>r to
! the mantel aud from tho earpel tothceuil-
j ing. Oh! is there any exhilaration like a
j score of genial souls ia ono room,.each one
adding a contr ibution of his own individual
merriment to tho aggregation of general
hilarity?
Suppose you want to go abroad in tho city,
then you wiil find tho punorama and tho art
gallery and exquisite collection- if pictures.
You will find the Mctn^jolituu museum and
tho Historical society room. full of rare curi-
jaities, and score* of places which can stand
plainly the test of w hat i._- l ight and wrong in
linuscmcnts. 1 ou will find t ;e lecturing

I rej<flee in the i»ophlarization <>t outdoor

fisherman's rod mid tho sportsinx u*s gun. In
our cities life is s.> unhealthy uml unuatund
that when tlie ecus us taker represenis a cit;,*
as having 40*HJO inhabitants, there are only
200,000, since it takes nt least two men ;u
amount to onv man, so di^ileting and unnerv-
ing mid cxhuu.sfiug is this motrujiolitari life.
We word mere fiotsh air, more sunlight, morn
of th*- abandon of fluid sport:-. I cry out for
it. in benalf of the church of Goo ,.s veil a.) in
behalf of Necular interests. I wi-’u that this
winter our j>oiids au-jL our rivers mid our
CapitolLno gro mds might be all awake with
the ln\*l and I Lo shout of the sv, lit stiater. I
wish tliat when the warm weather comes the

boatman’s song, the bright* prow
splitting the crystalline billow. We

player s sjiort You will conic baek from
tlies;) outdoor exercises and rccr ations with
strength in your arm. uml color in your
check, and a flash in vonr eve, and courage
in your heart. In this great buttle that ia
opening against the kingdom of darkness we
want not only a consecrated sound, but a
strong arm and stout lungs ond a mighty
muscle. I b'nvL God tluifc there arc ao many
recreations that have nor. on them any tain;,
of iniquity’; recreations in which we may
engage for lac utrengtheuing of the body,
for the dealing of the intellect*, for tho iliu
inmation of the soul.
There i- still another form of roercation
whicli I coijunend to you, and that is tho
pleasure of doing good. 1 have seen young
men weak uud cross and sour and repelling
in their disposition, w ho, by one heavenly
touch, have wakened up and become blessed
and buoyant, the ground under their feet am,
the sky over tlioir heads breaking forth into
music. “Ok,” says some youns^ mun in the
house today, “I should like that recreation
above all othei-s, but I have not* the means.1
My dear brother, let us take an account of
stock this morning. You have n larg<; estate,
if you only realm* it. Two hands. Two feet
You will have, perlntps, during the next year,
at least BIO for charitable contribution. You
i will have tv. enty-livo hundred cheerful looks,
if you want to employ them. You will havo
five thousand pleasant words, if you want to
*s])eak thorn. Now, what an amount that l>
to start with.
You go opt to-morrow moruing and yo>
see a case of real destitution by tho way
side. You give him two cents. The blind
man hears the pennies rattle iu his hut, and
he says, “Thank you, sir: God bless you.:
You pass down the street, trying to look in*
different; but you foci from the very depth
of your soul c profound satisfaction that you
! made that man happy. Y< u go o:i still
farther, and iiml a pjor boy* with e wheel-
burrow, trying to get it up ou the curbstone.
He fails in thy attempt. You say, “.Stanu
: back, my lad; let me try.” You push it up
j on the curbstone for him, aud pass on. H-
; wonders who that well dressed man was tha
hcl»K*U him. You did a kindness to the boy,
but you tliil a great joy to your own soul
You will not get over it all the week.
On the street to-morrow morning you will
sco a sick mau passing along. “Ah,” you say,
“what caa 1 do to mala.- this man happy? Ho
certainly does not, want- money; ho is not poor;
j but ho i; sick.” Gi ve him one of those i« enty •
j five huiulred chot i-fid looks that you have gar-
nered ui> lor ihe whole year. Look joy and
hopefulness into ids soul, it will thrill hint
through, and there will be a reaction upon
your own .you!. Going a lit Lie farther ou you
| will como to the store of a friend who is em-
barrassed in business matters. You will go in
aud say, “V/hut a line ' tore you ha* c!
think business will brighten up, and v ou w ill
have more curt cm after awhile. I think
there is coming a great prosjjerity to all the
country. Gooil morniug.” You jaiki out. You
j ha ve helped that young man, ami yon have
j helped yoursoif. And that night you go
: home; you: it by the lira, you taLk a little,
| you sing a little, you laugh a little; you say:
j “I really don't know what is the matter with
me. I never felt so splendidly in my life.'
I will tell what is the matter with you.
You spent only two cents out of the £10; you
; luivo contributed one out of twenty-iivo hun-
dred cheerful looks; you have given ten, lif-
j teen or twenty of the li ve thousand pleasant
| words you are going to spa-ak during the
I yeai-; you have with y our own hands helped
tho boy with the wheelbarrow, aud you feel
iu body, mind and soul the thrill of that
recreation. Which do you thiuk was the
happier—Col. Gardiner, who sat with bri
: elbow on a table spread with all extravagant
i viands, looking off at a dog on th *
i rug, saying: “How I would like
change places with him; I bo th •
dog. ami he be Col. Gardiner;” or
those two Moravian missionaries who wanted
j to go into the lazaretto for the sake of attend-
ing tho sick, and th«y were told: “If you g >
■ in there, you will never come out. \Te never
I allow any one to coma out, l'or he would
! bring tho contagion.” Then they made their
wills and went in, first to help the sick ou l
then. to die. W hic-h w as the happier, Coi
I Gardiner or the Moravian missionaries dying
i for others; Was it all raerifico when tht,
! missionaries wanted to bring the Gos*)ei to
the negroes at the Barbadocs, snd, being
<k*nie<l thu privilege, sold thomselvca iut i
slavery, st-mcliug side bj* side and lying
side by side down in the very ditch cf
j 6uliei“ing, in oi“der that they might brhxg
! those men up to life and God an t
heaven? Oh, there is a thrill in the joy or
. doindgood. It is the most magnificent iv-
| creation to which a man ever put:* his ban 1
or his head or his heart.
But, before dosing, [ want to impress ujxvi
you that mere secular entertainments are net
a fit foundation for your soul to build on.
I was reading of a woman who Lad gone
all the rounds of sinful amusement, aud she
came to die. Hhe said, “I will die to-nigbt
at o'clock.” “Ob,” they said, “I gtiess
not, you don't seem to lie sick.” “I shall da-
at 0 o’clock, and my soul trill bo lost. I
know it will bo lost. *1 have tinned away
my dux of grace,” The noon came. They
desired to sock religious counsel.
“Oli,” she acid, “it in of no use. My day is
gone. I have been all the round# of worldly
pleasure, and it is too lute. I shall die t -i
night at 0 o’clock.” The day wore away, and
it came to 4 o’clock, und to o o’clock, and she
cried out at J o’clock, “Destroyed spirits, y ■
shall not have lue yet: it is not (J, it is net
Oi*’ The moments wont by, aud the shadows'
began to gather, and the clock struck (j; and
whilo it was striking her .oul went. What
hour God will call for us I do not know—
whether 0 o’clock to-night, or J o’clock this
afternoon, or at 1 o’clock, or at this nr-
ment. Hitting where you are, failing for-
ward, or standing where you are, dropping
down, where would you go to?
Bat cur hour for adjourning has dready
come, and tho last hour of our life will **.-on
to hero, and from tliat hour wo will review
this day’s proceedings. It will be a solemn
hour. If from our death pillow we liavo to
look back and see a life spent iu sinful umust-
ment, there will to a dart that will strike
through <>ur soul sharper than the dagger
with which Virginius slew las child. The
memory of the jiast will make us quake like
2Ia<*beth. The iniquities and rioting TbrongU
which wo havo j»asst*tl w ill come upon u *!

The Dahlia In France.
According io o communication marlo by
M. do Caz* novo to the National Ac-climata-
Lon society at Paris, France, the beautiful
flower dahlia was introduced into Franco i.i
l <12. The father of the famous aeronauts,
Montgolfier, in that year received from a
j friend residing on Ile-do-Franeo (Mauritius),
j in tho Indian ocenu, some eatable builjs. He
! plaufini them, and, seeing tho blossoms, was
1 -v charmed with their beauty that he forgot
everything about their being eatable, and
tf.ok to cultivating them for tho flowers.
E* om Annonny, where he lived, they rapidly
spread over France aud other countries.—

A Mutiny in Peru.
A mutiny broke out in tho toil-racks of tho
Zcpita battalion at Trujillo, in Peru, and
two companies succeeded ic escaping after
mortally wounding the captain of the guard
and killing the sentry. Tho mutiny was led
by the sergeant, who directed his forces to
the prefecture, .shouting: “Long live liberty!
Death to thu squinting sub-prefect!’’ Tliis
attack was easily repulsed and the mutiny
crushed. Fourteen men and their leader
have been shot. It is said that the soldiers
mutinied owing to only receiving three paper
s-oles per day as ration money.
