The Rev. Il. De Witt Talmage spends
his New Years day in his charming
home in one of the pretty Brooklyn
streets off Fort Greene park i'm a thor
oughly characteristic way. He receives.
His drawing rooms are thrown open to
Tom, Dick and Harry, and Mrs. Tai
mage and her daughters are kept busy.
The reverend gentleman is particularly
attentive TO newspaper men. The
name of every caller is given to Mr..
Talmage's secretary, who sits up stairs
busily engaged in making out a list of
prominent people," When the news
paper men leave the minister goes to
the door with them and hands TO each
a list of his visitors. II had il pre-

wandered away, would like to charm
| you back by the sound of that one
word ''home." Do you not know that
you have but little more time to give
| to domestic welfare? Do you not see,
father that your children are soon to
go out into the world, and all the in

! them you must have how? Death will
| break in on your conjugal relations,
and alas, if you have to stand over the
grave of one who persisted from your
neglect!
UNBELIEvING HUSBAND; BELIEVING
WIFE.
I saw a hayward husband standing
at the deathbed of his Christian wife,
and I saw her point to ring on her
finger, and heard her say to her hu8-
band, do you see that ringW He re-
piled, Eyes, 1 see it." ''Wen," said
she, do you remember who put it
there?' Yes" said he, II put it there, =
and all the past seemed to rush upon
| him. By the memory of that day when,
III the presence of men and angels, you
promised to be faithful in joy and sor-
row, and in sickness and in health; by
the memory of those pleasant hours
when you sat together in your new
home, talking of bright future; by
| the cradle and the joyful hour when
one life was spared and another given;
| by that sick bed, when the little one
| lifted up the hands and called for
| help, and you knew he must die, and
| he put one arm around each of your
necks and brought you very near to-
gether in that dying kiss by the little
grave in Greenwood that you never
| think of without a rush of tears; by the
| family Bible, where, amid stories of
| heavenly love, is the brief but express
i've record of births and deaths; by the
neglects of the past, and by the agonies
of the future; by a judgment day, when
| husbands and wives, parents and chill
| dren, in immortal groups, will stand to
| be caught up in shining array, or to
| shrink down into darkness; by all that,
| [ beg you give to home your best affec-
| lions.
Ali, my friends, there is an hour COM
| ing when our past life will probably
pass before us in review. 1t will be
our last hour. If from our death pill
| low we have to look back and see
life spent in sinful amusement, there
will be dart that will strike through
our soul sharper than the dagger with
which Virginius slew his child. The
memory of the past will make us quake
like Macbeth. The iniquities and riot
ing through which we have passed will
come upon us, weird and skeleton as
| Meg Merrilies. Death, the old Shy
lock, will demand and take the re-
naming pound of flesh, and the re-
naming drop of blood; and upon our
last opportunity for repentance and
our last chance for heaven the curtain
will forever drop.

New Way of Posting Advertisements

New Way of Posting Advertisements.
One is apt to think that the world
has been pretty we'll ransacked for adj
vertising schemes, and that the supply
is liable to run out Experience proves,
however, that the mind of the inventor
is practically ineXhaustible and breaks
out into perennial exhibitions of its re
sources One of these is the new toy
gun for posting advertisements. The
gun is used for shooting advertising ar
rows into trees, fences, buildings or any
inanimate objects. The arrow is feath-
cred with light cardboard of various
colors bearing in large type any desired
inscription. Two sections of the card
board and the resultant angles are EN-
braced by a cross slit kerf, the rear of
the stick being wound with cord and
the point being sharpened TO increase
penetration. The advertising darts can
thus be projected out of ordinary reach.

Ring The Curfew Bell


The curfcw bell no myth.
1t was summons to the people to put out the

summons also, which dare disobey, for heavy
penalties followed disobedience.

You professional and business men, how severe

You clerks and mechanics. who work all day,
and yet to whom the day is not long enough in
which to work, how weary you grow, how pale,
Ifeless, spiritless you become, how dull and tired
headed, how disguised with your work which so
tires you in the doing.
You women, sales-g girls and you who are confined
in mills and factories, how heavy is your drudgery,
how wearing upon your life, how enervrlng to
your feelings, how exhausting to your strength,
how blightng your beauty! You are often nerv-

Alas, no curiew bell can call d halt in the worlds

overcome the nervous and physical weaknesses
which such work entails. You who would be strong
