 BROOKLYN, Aug. l6. -Dr. Tallnage has returned from his western tour re- fnvigorated in health and cheered by the hearty and enthusiastic greetings he has received in the numerous cities he has visited. Thousands of persons who have read his sermons in their To cal newspapers have struggled to get within sound of his voice wherever he has spoken His sermon this week is on the very common and foolish habit of borrowing money, and his text i> Matthew vi, 34, Sufficient unto thE- day fs the evil thereof ~ The life of every man, woman and child is as closely under the divine care as though such person were the only man, woman or child. There are no accidents. As there is law of storms in the natural world, so there is law of trouble, law of disaster, a law of misfortune; but the majority of the troubles of life are imaginary and the most of those anticipated never come At any rate there is no cause of com plaint against God. See how much he hath done to make thee happy; his sunshine filling the earth with glory, making rainbow for the storm and halo for the mountain, greenness for the moss, saffron for the cloud and crystal for the pillow, and procession of bannered flame through the opening gates of the morning, chaf finches to sing, rivers to glitter, seas to chant, and springs to blossom, and over towering all other sounds with it's song, and overarching all other splendor with it's triumph. covering up all other beauty with it's garlands, and outfashing all other thrones with it's dominiOn-de liverance for a lost world through the Great Redeemer.

 I discourse of the sin of borrowing trouble. .
 MEET TROUBLE BRAvELY.
 First, such habit of mind and heart is wrong because it puts one into despondency that ill fits him for duty planted two rose bushes in my gar den; the one thrived beautifully, the other perished found the dead one on the shady side of the house. Our dispositions, like our plants, need sun shine. Expectancy of repulse is the cause of many secular and religious failures. Fear of bankruptcy has up torn many a fine business, and sent the 1o1oiro tho oc1,o l Fear of islander and abuse has often in . vited all the long peaked vultures of scorn and backbiting. Many of the misfortunes of life, like hyenas, flee if you courageously meet them.
 How poorly prepared for religious duty is man who sits down under tho. | gloom of expected misfortune If h.. be answered" If he give, he says. 1T expect they will steal the money
 Helen Chalmers told me that her | father, Thomas Chalmers, in the dark est hour of the history of the Free Church of Scotland, and when the woes of the land seemed to weigh upon his heart, said to the children, Come. let us go out and play ball or fly kite, ; and the only difficulty in the play was | that the children could not keep up with their father. The McCheynes and l the Sunlnerfields of the church who did the most good, cultivated sunlight. Away with the horrors! they distill poi
 son, they dig graves, and if they could climb so high they would drown the rejoicings of heaven with sobs and vail ing.
 You will have nothing but misfortune in the future if you sedulously watch for it. How shall man catch the right kind of fish if he arranges his line and hook and bait to catch lizards and water serpents2 Hunt for bats and l hawks, and bats and hawks you will | find Hunt for robin redbreasts and you will find robin redbreasts. One night an eagle and an owl got into | fierce battle The eagle. unused to the night. was no match for an owl, which is most at home in the darkness and the king of the air fell help less; but the morning rose, and with it rose the eagle. and the owls, and the nighthawks. and the bat came a second time to the combat now the eagle, in the sunlight, with |. stroke of his talons and great cry, cleared the air and his enemies, with torn feathers and splashed with blood. tumbled into the thckets. Ye are the children of light. In the night of de spondency you will have no chance against your enemies that flock up from beneath, but, trusting in God, and standing in the sunshine of the prom ises, you shall ''renew your youth like the eagle" h.. .-.- APPRECIATE PRESENT GOOD. !
 Again. the habit of borrowing trou ble is wrong. because it has tendency to make us overlook present blessing
 To slake mans thirst the rock is cleft and cool waters leap into his brimming cup. To feed his hunger the fields bow down with bending wheat and tile cat

 Alasl that amid such exuberance of

 he were a soldier on half rations or q sailor on short allowance. that d mall should stand neck deep in harvests
 looking forward to famine that one should feel the strong pulses of health
 marching with regular tread through
 all the avenues of life and yet tremble at the expected assault of sickness that
 a man should sit in his pleasant home.
 fearful that ruthless want will some
