him as saying that he could make thou
sand dollars cay the year round lecturing,
and that he has now $3.50, 600 offered him
for series of talks. We suggest that
either the divine or the corr spondent must
be mistaken about the figure mentioned,

Whatever success Mr.. Talmage may have
in his Brooklyn tabernacle as preacher,
he would find it extremely difficult to clear
one-fourth of the sum he claims from the
rostrum or platform. 1t is more likely that
he brags for newspaper consumption in the
manner of the late lamented P. T. Barnum
and other showmen. He probably expects
to go Iecturlng some day soon.
Certain it is that Brother Talmage knows
the value of printers ink, judiclously ap-

! OH, SUGAR!
What's this tina looks so passing sweet;
We gladly stay our huriytug feet
And smile on everyone We meet:
Oh, sugart
OF maidens fair some poets dream,
OF golden locks aud eyes that CLEAN;
But mine is Yet sweeter theme,
tbs sugar.
While gazing with enraptured eye,
| ] strange each i-nobie sigh
And fan would rise and prophesy
OF sugar.
No more Wen drink the sours of life
Nor sup with bitter household strife,
But sweeten every child and wife
With sugar.
No more our roignant griefs We'll drown
With fiery liquids, but will crown
OR feaSts and tone our spirits down
On sugar.
And as we sweeter grow ach day.
With sweets to sell and give away;
With no vile tariff more to pay
On sugar.
Our swoetended influence shall extend
Beyond the desert to the end
OF ali the world, 10 whom well send
Pure sugar.
Now, sinners sueering al the land
or saints, ut proper stance stand
Lest we shall fiji your eyes with sand
and sugar.
