| TABERNACLE SERMON. “The Marriage Ring.”

A SERMON [OR THE LADIES—DR TALMAGE DISCOURSES ON ‘“* THE CH°ICE OF A HUS- BAND.”

Brooktyn, N. Y., Jan. 17.

Tue Rev. T. Dx Wrrr Tatmace, D. D., |preached to-day in the Brookiyn Taber-

' in eal ae = oeEn jnacle, the second of his series of sermons CLOTHING & GENTS’ FURNISHINGS = i:sste nos a last Sunday on **Uhe Choice of a Wife,” he

to-day preached on ‘The Choice of a Hus- band.” The organist rendered the Sonate in C minor, by Rheinberger. Congrega- tional singing, led by Professor Alis cornet, included that of the hymn beginning :

“* Awake my soul, to joyful lays!

And sing thy great Redeemer’s praise.”

Selecting his text from Ruth 1, 9: ‘*The Lurd grant that ye may find rest. seach of you ia the honse of her husband,” the elo- quent preacher said :

This was the prayer of pious Naomi fer Ruth end Orpah, and is an appropriate prayer now in behalf of unmarried woman- |hood. Naomi, the good old sou!, knew ;that the devil would take their case3 in jhand if God did not, so she prays: ‘*The |Lord grant you that you may flad rest,

: é jeach of you in th f " We have on. dnd ts dees icine | you In the house of her husband.

In this series of sermons on ‘*Tha Mar- iriage “ing,” Llast Sabbath gave prayerful jand Christian advice to men ia regard to ithe selection of a wife, aud to-day lL give jthe same prayerful and Christian advice to i women in regard to the selection of a hus- band, but in all these sermons saying much that 1 hope will be appropriate fur all ages and eil classes.

I applaud the celibacy of a mullituds of

women who, rather than make un- fii selection, have made none at all. Ic has not been a ilack of opportunity for material contract on their part, but their own culture and refinement and their exalted idea as to what a husband ought to be, have caused their declinature, They have seen 80 Many Women marry im- beciles, or reftians, or incipient sots, or life- time incapables, or magnificent nothings, or men who before marriage were angelic, and afterwards diabolic, that they have been alarmed and stood back. ‘hey saw {sv many boats go into the maelsrom thi they steered into other waters. Better for for a woman to live alone, ‘hough she lives a thousand years, than to be annexed to one of these masculiue failures with which Society is surfeited. The patron saiat of almest every family circle is some auch among all’ the families of cousins she moves around, and her coming to each house is the morning, and her going away is the night. In my large circle of kindred, perhaps twenty famili-s in all, it was an Aunt Phoebe. Pau! gave a letter of introduction to one whom he ealls ‘*Phoebe our sister,” as she went up from Cenchrea to Rome, commending her for her kindness and Christian service, and imploring for her all courtesies. I think Aunt Phoebo was named after her. Was there a sickness in any of the households, she was there ready to sit up and count out the drops of medi- cine. Was there a marriage, she helped to deck the bride for the altar. Was there a new soul incarnated, she was there to re- joice at the nativity. Was there a sore bereavement, she was there to console. The children rushed out at her first appearance, crying, ‘‘here comes Aunt Phoebe,” and but for parental interference, they would have puiled her down with their caresses, for she was not very strong, and many severe illness had given her enough glimpses at the next’world to make her Heavenly-minded. Her table was loaded up with Baxter’s ‘‘ Saints’ Rest,” Doddridge’s ‘‘ Rise and Progress,” and Jay’s ‘* Morning and Evening Exercises,” and John Banyan’s “ Pilgrim’s Progress,” and like books, which have fitted out whole generations for the heaven which they have already entered.

‘‘DaWitt,” she said to me one day, ‘twice in my life I have been 80 over- whelmed with the love of God that [ faint- ei away and could not be resuscitated. Don’t tell me there is no heaven. I have seen it twice.” If you would know how her presence would soothe an anxiety or lift a burden, or cheer a sorrow, or leave a blessing on every room in the house, ask any of the Talmages. She had tarried at her early home, taking care of an invalid father, until the bloom of life had some- what faded, but she could interest the young folks with some three or four tender passages in her own history, so that wo all knew that it was not through lack of oppor- tunity that she was not the queen of one household, instead of being a benediction At about seventy years of age she made her last visit to my house, and when she sat in my Phila- deiphia church, I was more embarrassed at her presence than by all the audience, be- cause I felt that in religion Lhad got no further than the A B C, while she had learned the whole alphabet, and for many years had finished Y ard Z. When she went out of this life into the next, what a shout there must have been in heaven, from the front door clear up to the back seat in the highesi galiery! I saw the other day, ia the village cemetery of Somer- ville, New Jersey, her resting place, the tombstone having on it the words which thirty years ago she told me she would like to have inscribed there, namely, ‘‘ The Morning Cometh.”

Had she @ mission in this world? Certainly. As much as Caroline Herschel first emanuensis for herillustrous brother, and then his assistant in astronomical cal- culations, and then discovering worlds for herself, dying at ninety-nine years of age, still busy with the stars till she sped beyon them; as much had Florence Nightingale, the nurse of the Crimea; or Grece Darling, the oarswoman of the Long Stone Light- house; or Mary Lyon, the teacher of Monnt Holyoke Female Seminaty; or

England; or Dorothea Dix, the angel of

ee

mercy for the insane; or Anna Etheridge, amoug the wounded of Blackburn’s Fort; or Margaret Breckenridge, at Vicksburg; or Mary Shelton, distributing roses, and grapes, and cologne, in Western hospital; or thousands of other glorious women like them, who never took the marriage sacra- ment. Appreciate all this this, my sister, and it will make you deliberate before you rush out of the single state into another, unless you are sure of betterment. Deliberate and pray. , Pray and deliber- ate. As I showed you in my former sermon, a man ought to supplicate Divine guidance in such crisis; how much more important that you solicitit? It is easier for aman to find an appropriate wife than for a woman to find a good husband. This is a matter of arithmetic, as I showed in former discoarse. Statistics show that in Massachysetts and New York States, women have a majority of hundreds of thousands. Why this is, we leave others to surmise. It would seem that a woman

that they are Divinely arranged. A!most every cradie has an pflinity towards some other cradle. They may be on the opposiie sides of the earth, but one child gets ou» of ‘this cradle and another child gets out of | that cradle, and with their first steps they start for each other. They may diverge ‘from the straight path, going towards the 'North, or South, or East or West. They may fall down, but the two rise facing each other. They are approaching all through infancy. The one all through the years of boyhood is going to meet the one who is coming through all the years of girlhood, to meet him. The decision of parents as to what is best concerning them and the changes of fortune, may for a time seem to arrest the two journeys; but on they go. They nay never have seen each other. They may never have heard of each other. But the twe pilgrims who started at the two cradles, are nearing. After eighteon, twenty or thirty years, the two come within sight. At the first glance they may feel #

careful in her choice of lifetime companion- ship. She cannot afford to make a mistake, If 4 maa err in hia selection he can spend his evenings at the club, and dull his sensi- bilities by tobacco smoke, but woman has noclub room for refuge, and would find it difficult to habituate herself to cigars. Ifa woman make a bad job of marital selection, the probability is that nothing but a fader- al can relieve it. Divorce cases in court may interest the public, but the love letters of a married coupls are poor reading except for thuse who write them. Pray God that you be delivered fromirrevocable mistake !

Avoid affisnce with a despiser of the Christian religion, whatever else he may have or may not have. I donot say he must need be areligions man, for Paul says the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife; but marriaga with a man who hates the Christian religion will insure yoa a fife of wretchedness, He will caricature

your habit of knesling in prayer. He will speak depreciatingly of Christ. He will wouod al! the most sacred feelings of your soul. He will put your hom» under the avathema of the Lord God Almighty. In addition to the anguish with which he wil till your life, there is great danger that he will despoil your hope of Heaven,and make your marriage relation aa infiaite and eternal disaster. [If you have made such eogagement, your first duty is to break it?

your soul,

Further : do not unite in marriage with a man of bad habits, in the idea of reforming him. If now, under the restraint of your present acquaintance, he will not give up his bad habits, after he has won the prizs you cannot expect him to do so. You! might as well plant a violet in the face of a

northeast storm, with the idea of appsasing it. You might as well run a sehooner

alongside of a burning ship, with the idea of saving the ship. The consequence

will be, schooner and ship wiil be destroyed together. Tae almshouse could

tell the story of a hundred women who mar-

ried men to reform them. If by twenty-five

years of agea man has boen grappled by

intoxicants, he is uader such headway that

your attempt to stop him would be very

much like running up the track with a

wheelbarrow to stop a Hudson River ex-

press train, What you call an inebriate

now-a-days is not a victim to wine or whis-

key, bat to logwood and strycinine and

nux vomica. All these poisons have

kindled their fires in his tongue and brain,

andall the tears of a wile weeping cannot

extinguish the flames. Instead of marry-

ing a man to reform him, let him reform

first and then give him time to seo whether

the reform is to be permanent. Lot him

understand that if he cannot do without

his bad habits for two years, he must do

without you forever.

Avoid union with one supremely soalfish, or so wound up in his occupation that he has no room for another. He is not the one blade of a scissors incomplete without the other blade, but he isa chisel made to cut his way through life alone, or a file full of roughness, made to be drawn across society withcut any affinity for other files. His disposition is a life-long protest against marriage. Others are so married to their occupation or profession that the taking of any other bride is a case of bigamy. There are mon as severely tied to their literary work, as was Chatterton, whose essay was not printed because of the Lord Mayor. Chatterton made out the following account: ‘* Lost by the Lord Meyor’s death in this essay, one pound, eleven shillings and six- pencs. Gained ia elegies and essays, five pounds, five shillings.” Then he put what he had gained by the Lord Mayor's death opposite to what he hid lost, and wrote uader it ; “And glad he is dead by three pounds, thirteen shillings and sixpence.” When a man is as hopelessly literary as that, he ought to be a perpetual celibate ; his library, his laboratory, his books are all the companionship needed. Indeed some of the mightiest men this world ever saw have not patronized matrimony. Cowper, Pope, Newton, Swift, Locke, Walpoie, Gibbon, Hams, Arbuthnot were sing!e. Some of these marriages would have helped. The right kind of a wife would have cured Cowper's gloom, and given te Newton more practicability, and beea a relief to Locke's overtasked brain. A Christian wife might have converted Hume and Gibbon to a be- lief in Caristianity. Bat Dean Swift did not deserve a wife, frora the way in which he broke the heart of Jane Waring first,

diand Esther Johnson afterwards, and last of

all ‘‘Vanessa.” Tho great wit of his day, he was outwitted by his own cruelties. Amid so many possibilities of a fatal mistake, am I not right in urging you to seek the unerring wisdom of God, and

The delegate from the other cradie comes np the west aisle of the church. The two long journeys end at the snowdrift of the bridal veil. The two chains made out of many years are forged together by the golden link which the groom puts upon the third finger of the left hand. One oa earth, may they be one in heaven !

But there are so many exceptions to the general rule of natural affinity, that only those are safe who pray for a heaven'y hand to lexd them. Because they depended on themselves and not on God there are thousands of women going to the slaughter. In India women leap on the funeral pyre of a dead husband, We have a worse spec- tacle than that in America—women inanm- erable leaping on the funeral pyre of a living husband.

Avoid all proposed alliance through news- paper advertisements. Many vomea, jst for fun, have answered such adver‘iae- ments, and have been led on from step to step to catastrophe iufiuite. All the men who write such advertisements are villas and lepers—all, without « single exception. Ali! All! ! Do youanswer them just for fun? I willtell you a safer and healthier fun Thrust your hand through the cage ata menigeris, and stroke the back of a cobra from the E:st Indies. Pus your head ia tho mouth of a Namidisa iioa to see if he will bite. Take a glass- Paris green mixed with some dvlightfal henbane. Thee are safer and healthier fan than auswering newspaper advertisements for a wife.

My advice is: Marcy a man whoisa fortune in himsaelf. Houses, lands and large inheritance are weil enough. but the wheel of fortuna turns so rapidly, that through soms investment al! these in a few days may be gone. There are some things, however, that are a perpetual fortune— good manners, goniality of soul, kindness, intelligence, sympathy, courage, persever- ance, iudustry and whole-heartedaess. Marry such a one and you have married a fortuna, whether he have an income now of fifty thousand dollars a year or an income now of five hundred dollars. A bank is secure according to its capital stock, and no* to be judgad by the deposits for a day ora week. A manisrich according to his sterling qualities, ani not according to the vacillation of circumstances which may leave with him a large amount’ of resources to-day and withdraw them to-morrow. If a man is worth nothing but mo vey, he is poor indeed. If a man have upright character, he is rich. Property may come and go, he is independent of the markets. Nothing can bay him oat, nothing can sell him out. Ho may have more money ona year than another, but h's better fortunes never vacillate.

Yet, do not expect tv find a perfect man. If you find one without any faults, in- espable ef mistakes, never having guessed wrongly, his patience never been perturbed, immaculate iu speech, in temper, in habits, do not marry him. Why? Bocause you would enact aswindle. What would you do with a perfect man, who are not perfect yoursel(? Aud howdare you hitch your imperfection fast on such supernatural excellence? What a comp snion you would make for an angel! Inother words there are no perfect men. There never was but ona perfect pair, and they slipped down the banks of Para- dise together. We occasionally find a man who says he never sins. We know he lies when hesaysit. We have hadfinancial dealings with two or threa perfect men, ani they cheated us woefuly. D>» not, there fore, look for an immaculate husband, for you will not fiad him.
