Special to the Gazette
Brooklyn April 13 At the service
in the Academy of Slusic this morning
Dr Talmnge after reading appropriate
passages of Scripture gave out the hymn
So let our lips and lives express
The holy Gospel we profess
He announced as his text Proverbs xx
14 fit is naught it is naught 6aith
the buyer but when he is gone his way
then he boastelh Following Is his
sermon in full
Palaces are not such prisons as the
world imagines If you think that the
onlv time kings and queens come forth
from the royal gates is in procession and
gorgeously attended you are mistaken
lucocnito by day or by night and
clothed in oitizens apparel or the dress
igjworking woman they come out and
the world as it is In no other way
could King Solomon tho author of my
text have known everything that was
going on From my text I am sure
he must in disguise some day have
walked into a store of readymade cloth-
ing in Jerusalem and stood near tho
counter and overheard a conversation
between a buyer and a seller The
merchant put a price on a coat and the
customer began to dicker and said
Absurd that coat is not worth what
you ask for it Whv just look at the
coarseness of the fabric See that spot
on the collar Besides that it does not
lit Twenty dollars for that Why it
isnt worth more than ten They have-
n better article than that and for
cheaper price down at Cloathem Fitem
Brothers Besides that 1 dont want
it at any price Good morning
Ilold says the merchant dont
go off in that way I want to sell you
that coat I have some payments to
make and
I WANT THE MOXUY
Come now how much will you give for
that coat Well says the cus-
tomer I will split the difference You
asked S20 and I said ten JN ow I will
give you fifteen Well says the
merchant its a great sacrifioo
but take it at that price
Then Solomon saw the customer
with a roll under his arm start and go
out and enter his own place of business
and Solomon in disguise followed him
He heard the customer as he unrolled
the coat sav Boys I have made a
great bargain How much do you guess
I gavo for that eoat Well
says one wishing to compliment his
enterprise you gave 30 for it
Another says I should think you got
it cheap if you gave S23 No says
the buyer in triumph I got it for 15
I beat him down and pointed out the
imperfections until 1 really made him
believe it was not worth hardly any-
thing It takes me to make a bargain
Ha Ha Oh man you got the goods
for less than they were worth by posi-
tive falsehood and no wonder when
Solomon went baok to his palace and
had put off his disguise that he sat
down at his writing desk and made for
all ages a crayon sketch of you It is
naught it is naught saith the buyer
but when he is gone Iris way then he
boasteth
There are no higher styles of men in
all the world than those now at the head
of merchandise in Brooklyn and New
v York and in the other great oities of this
continent Their casual promise is as
good as a bond with piles of collaterals
Their reputation for integrity is as well
established as that of Petrarch residing
in the family of Cardinal Colonna and
when there was great disturbance in the
family the cardinal called all his people
together and put them under oath to ell
the truth except Petrarch for when he
came up to swear the cardinal put away
his book and said As to you Pe
trarch your word is sufficient Never
since the world stood have there been so
many merchants wboso transactions can
stand the test of the ten commandments
Suoh bargainmakers are all the more to
be hoaored because they have withstood
year after year temptations which have
tlung many so flat and flung them so
hard they can
XEVEK UECOVEP THEMSELVES
While all positions in life have powerful
besetmeuts to evil there are speciflo
forms of allurement which are peouliar
to each occupation and profession and it
will bo useful to speak of tho peculiar
temptations of business men
First as m the scene of the text
business men are often tempted to sacri-
fice plain truth the seller by exaggerat-
ing the value of sroods and the buyer by
depreciating them We cannot but ad-
mire an expert salesman See how he
first induces the customer into a mood
favorable to the proper consideration of
the value of the goods He shows him-
self to be an honest and frank salesman
How carefully the lights are arranged
till they fall just right lUpon the fabrio
Beginning with goods of medium quality
ho gradually advances toward those of
more thorough make and of more
attraotive pattern How he watches
tho moods and whims of his cus-
tomer With what perfect calmness
he takes the order and bows the pur-
chaser from his presence who goes away
having made up his mind that ho has
bouaht the goods at a price which will
allow him a living margin when he again
sells them The goods were worth what
the Balosman said they were and were
sold at a price which will not make it
necessary for tho house to fail every ten
years in order to fix up things
But with what burning indignation we
think of tho iniquitoua stratagems by
which goods are sometimes disposed of
A glance at the morning papers shows
the arrival at one of our hotels of a
young merchant from one of the inland
cities He is a comparative stranger in
the great city and of course he must
be shown around and it will be the duty
of some of our enterprising houses to es-
cort him He is a large purchaser and
has plenty of time and money ana it will
pay to be very attentive Tho evening is
spent at a placo of doubtful amuse
rTnent

dshrk
Then they go back to the
Having just come to
they must of course
A friend from the same mer
establishment drops in and
age and generosity suggests that they
must drink Business prospects are
talked over and the stranger Is warned
sj A
against certain dilapidated mercantile
establishments that are about to fail
and for suoh kindness and magnanimity
of caution against tho dishonesty of other
business houses of course it is expected
they will and so they do
THEY TAKE A DRLNIC
Other merchants lodging in adjoining
rooms find it hard to sleep for the
clatter of decantors and the coarse ca-
rousal of these hail fellows well met
waxes louder But they sit not all night
at the wino cup They must see the
sights They stagger forth with cheeks
flushed and eyes bloodshot The outer
gates of hell open to let in the victims
The wings of lost souls flit among the
lights and the steps of the carou8rs
eound with the rumbling thunders of the
damned Farewell to all the sanctities
of home Could mother Bister father
slumbering in tho inland home in some
vision of that night catch a glimpse
of the ruin wrought they would
rend out their hair by the roots and bite
the tongue till the blood spurted shriek-
ing out God save him
What suppose you will come upon
such business establishments And there
are hundreds of them in the cities They
may boast of fabulous sales and they
may have an unprecedented run of buy-
ers and the name of the house may be a
terror to all rivals and from this thrifty
root there may spring up branch houses
in other cities and all the partners of the
firm may move into their mansions and
drive their fullblooded span and the
families mav sweep the street with the
most elegant apparel that human art
ever wove or earthly magniflcenoo ever
achieved But a curse is gathering
somewhere for those men and if it does
not seize hold of the pillars and in one
wild ruin bring down the temple of com-
mercial glory it will break up their
peace and thej will tremble with sick-
nesses and bloat with dissipations and
pushed to the precipice of this life they
will try to hold back and cry
for help but no help will come and they
will dutch their gold to take it along
with them but it will be snatched from
their grasp and a voice will eound
through their soul Not a farthing
thou beggared spirit And the judg-
ment will come and they will stand
aghast before it and all tho business in-
quiries of a lifetime will gather around
them saying Do you remember
this and Doyou remember that
And clerks that they compelled to dis-
honesty and runners and draymen and
bookkeepers who saw behind the scenes
will bear testimony to their nefarious
deeds and some virtuous soul that once
stood aghast at the splendor and power
of these business men will say Alas
this is all that is left of that great firm
that occupied a blook with their mer-
chandise and overshadowed the oity with
their influence and made righteousness
and truth and purity fall under the gall-
ing fire of avarice and crime
While we admire and approve of all
anutenesa and tact in the sale of goods
we must condemn any process by which
a fabrio or product is represented as pos-
sessing a value which it really does not
have Nothing but sheer falsehood can
represent as perfection boots that rip
silks that speedily lose their lustre cali
coes that immediately wash out stoves
that crack inder the first hot fire books
insufficiently bound carpets that un-
ravel old furniture rejuvenated with
putty and clue and sold as having been
RECENTLY MANUFACTURED
gold watches made out of brass barrels
of fruit the biggest apples on the top
wine adulterated with stryohnine hosiery
poorly woven cloths of domestio manu-
facture shining with foreign labels im-
ported goods represented as rare and
hard to cet because foreign exchange is
so high rolled out on the coun-
ter with matohless display
Imported indeed but from the
factory in the next street A pattern
already unfashionable and unsalable
palmed off as a new print upon some
country merchant who has come to town
to make his first purobase of dry goods
and going home with a large stock of
goods warranted to keep
Again business men are of ten tempted
to make the habits and customs of other
traders their law of rectitude There
are commercial usages whioh will not
stand the test of the last day Yet men
in business are apt to do as their neigh-
bors do If the majority of the traders
in any locality are lax in principle the
commercial code in that community will
bo spurious and dishonest It is hard
thint to stand close by the law of right
when your next door neighbor by his
looseness of dealing is enabled to sell
goods at a cheaper rate and decoy your
customers Of course vou who promptly
meet all your business engagements
paying when you promise to pay will
find it hard to compete with that mor
ohant who is hopelessly in debt to the
importer for the goods purchased and to
the landlord whose store he occupies
and to tho clerks who nerve him
There are a hundred praotices preva-
lent in the world of traffio whioh ought
never to become tho rule for honest men
Their wrong does not make you right
Sin never becomes virtue by being mul-
tiplied and admitted at brokers board or
merchants exchange Because others
smuggle a few things in passenger
trunks because others take usury when
men are in tight places because others
deal in fancy stocks because others
palm off worthless endorsements be-
cause others do nothing but blow bub-
bles do not therefore be overcome of
temptation Hollow JpretenBion and fic-
titious credit and commercial gambling
may awhile prosper but tho day of
reckoning cometh and in addition to the
horror and condemnation of outraged
communitiesthe ourse of God will come
blow after blow Goda will forever and
forever is the only standard of right and
wrong and not commercial ethics
Young business man avoid the first
business dishonor and you will avoid all
the rest The captain of a vessel was
walking near the mouth of a river when
the tide was low and there was along
stout anchor chain into one of the great
links of which his foot slipped and it
began to swell and he could not with-
draw it The tide began to rise The
chain could not be loosened nor filed off
in time and a surgeon was oalled to
amputate the limb but before the work
could be done the tide rolled over the
victim
AND HIS LTFE WAS GONE
And I have to tell you young man that
just one wrong into which you slip may-
be a link of a Ions ohain of circumstances
from whioh you cannot he extraoted by
any ingenuity of your own or any help
from others and the tides will roll over
you as they have over many When
Pompey the warrior wanted to take
possession of a oity and they would not
open the gates he persuaded them to
admit a sick soldior But the
siok soldier after a while got well and
strong and ho threwopen the gates and
let the devastatlng army come in One
wrong admitted into the soul may gain
m strength until after a while it flings
open all tho avenues of the immortal
nature and the surrender is complete
Again business men are sometimes
tempted to throw off porsonal responsi-
bility upon the monied institution to
which they belong Directors in banks
and railroad anil insuronce companies
sometimes shirk personal responsibility
underneath tho action of the corpora-
tion And how often when some bank
inghouse or financial institution explodes
through fraud respectable men in tho
board of directors say
thought all was going on in
way and I am utterly confounded with
this misdemeanor The banks and the
fire and life and marine insurance com-
panies and the railroad companies will
not stand up for judgment in the last
day but those who in them acted right-
eously will reoeive eaoh for himself a
reward and those who acted the part of
neglect or trickery will each for him-
self receive a condemnation Unlawful
dividends are not olean before God be
cause there are those associated with you
who grab just as big a pile as you do He
who countenances the dishonesty of the
firm or of tho corporation or of the as-
sociation takes upon himself all the
moral liabilities If the financial insti-
tution steal he steals If they go into
wild speculations he himself is a gam-
bler If they needlessly embarrass a
creditor he himself is guilty of oruelty
If they swindle the uninitiated he him-
self is a defrauder No flnanoinl institu-
tion ever had a money vault strong
enoughor credit staunch enoughor divi-
dends large enough or polioy acute
enough to hide the individual sins of its
members The old adage that corpora-
tions have no souls is misleading Every
corporation has as many souls as it has
members
Again many business men have been
tempted to postpone their enjoyments
and duties to a future season of entire
leisure What a sedative the Christian
religion would be to all our business men
if instead of postponing Its uses to old
ago or death they would take it into the
store or faotory or worldly engagements
now It is folly to go amid the uncer-
tainties of business life with no God to
help A merchant in a New FiHgland
Tillage was standing by a horse and the
horse lifted his foot to stamp it In a
pool of water and the merchant to es-
cape the splash stepped into the door of
an insuranoe agency and the agent
said I suppose you havo come to re-
new your fire insuranoe Oh said
tho merohant I had forgotten that
The insuranoe was renewed and tho
next day the house that had been insured
was burned Was it all accidental that
the merchant to escape a splash from a
horses foot stepped into tho Insurance
office No
IT WAS PROVIDENTIAL
And what a mighty solace for a busi-
ness man to feel that things are provi-
dential What peace and equilibrium
in suoh a consideration and what a
grand thing if all business men could
realize it
Many although now comparatively
Btraitened in worldly ciroumstances
have a goodly establishment in the future
planned out They have in imagination
built about twenty years ahead a house
In the country not difficult of access
from the great town for they will often
have business or old accounts to settle
and investments to look after The
house is large enough to accommodate
all their friends The halls are wide
and hung with pictures of huntingscenes
and a branoh of antlers nnd nre com-
fortable with ohairs that can be rolled
out on the veranda when tho weather is
inviting or set out under some of tho
oaks that stand sentinel about tho house
and rustling in the cool breeze and
songful with tho robins There is
just land enough to keep them
interested and its crops of
almost fabulous richness springing up
under application of the be3t theories to
bo found in tho agricultural journals
Tho farm is well stocked with oattle and
horses and sheep that know the voice
and have a kindly bleat when one goes
forth to look at them In this blissful
abode their children will be instructed in
art and science and religion This shall
be the old homestead to whioh tho boys
at college will direot their letters and
the lull on which the house standB will bo
oalled Oakwood or Ivy Hill or Pleasant
Retreat or Eagle Eyrie May the future
have for every businessman here all that
and more beside But are you postpon-
ing your happiness to that time Are
you adjourning your joys to that con-
summation
Suppose that you achieve all you ex
peot and tho vision I mention is not up
to the reality because the fountains will
be brighter the house grander and the
scenery more picturesque the mistake
is none the less fatal What charm will
there be in rural quiet for a man who
has for thirty or forty years been con-
forming his entire nature to tho exoite
mentB of business WTill flocks and herds
with their bloat and moan be able to si-
lence the insatiable spirit of acquisitive-
ness which has for years had full swing
in the soul Will the hum of the breeze
soothe the man who now can find his only
ENJOYMENT LN THE STOCK MARKET
Will leaf and cloud and fountain oharm
the eye that has for threefourths of a
lifetime found its chief beauty in hogs-
heads and bills of sale Will parents bo
competent to rear their ohildren for high
and holy purpose if their infancy nnd
boyhood and girlhood were negleoted
when they are almost ready to enter up-
on the world and haye all their habits
fixed and their principles stereotyod
No no now is the
bo happy Now is the
serve your Creator Now
time to bo a Christian
Why I-
an honest
too busy I have known men as busy as
you are who had a place in the storeloft
where they went to pray Somo one
asked a Christian sailor whero he found
any place to pray in He said I can
always find a quiet place at masthead
And in the busiest day of the season if
your heart is right you can find a place
to pray Broadway and Fulton street
are good places to pray in as you go to
meet your various engagements Go
home a little earlier and get introduoed
to your ohildren Bo not a galloyslave
by day and night lashed fast to the oar
of business Let every day have Its
hour for worship and intellectual culture
and recreation Show yourself greater
than your business Act not as though
after death you would enter upon an
eternity of railroad stooks and ooffeeB
and ribbons Roast not your manhood
before tho perpetual fires of anxiety
With every yard of oloth you sell throw
not in your soul to boot Use firkin and
countineroom desk and hardware crate
as the step to glorious usefulness and
highest Christian character Decide onoe
and forever who shall be master in yonr
store you or your business
Again business men are often tempted
to let their calling interfere with the in-
terests of the soul God sonds mou Into
the business world to get educated just
as boys are sent to school and college
Purchase and sale loss and gain disap
poiatment and rasping prosperity the
dishonesty cf others panio and bank
suspension are but different lessons in
the school The more business the more
means of graoe Many have gone
through wildest panio unhurt Are
you not afraid you will break said
some one to a merchant in time of grent
commercial excitement He replied
Aye I shall break when the fiftieth
psalm breaks in the fifteenth verse
Call upon mo in the day of trouble and
I will deliver thee
The store and countinghouse have de-
veloped some of the most stalwart char
acters Perhaps originally they had but
little sprightliness and force but two or
three hard business thumps woke them
up from their lethargy and there came
a thorough development in their hearts
ol all that was good and holy and ener
getio and tremendous and they have be-
come the
FRONT MEN IN CHRISTS GREAT ARMY
as well as lighthouses in the great world
of traffic But business has been per-
petual depletion to many a man It first
pulled out of him all benevolenoe next
all amiability next all religious as-
piration next all consoience and
though he entered his vocation with
larce heart and noble oharaoter he
goes out of it a skeleton enough to scare
a ghost
Men appreciate the importance of hav-
ing a good business stand a store on the
right side of the street or the right
block Now every place of business is a
good stand for spiritual culture Gods
angels hover over the world of traffio to
sustain and build up those who are try-
ing to do thoir duty Tomorrow if in
your place of worldly engagement yoiLj
it
will listen for you may
hear a sound louder than the rattlaf
of drays and the shuttle of feet and tfft
chink of dollars stealing Into your souf
saying Seek ye first the kingdom < y
God and his rishteousness and all othe
things shall be added unto you Yot J
some of those sharpest at a bargain
are cheated out of their immortal
blessedness by stratagems more pal-
pable than any dropgame of the
street They make investments in
things everlastingly below par They
put their valuables in a safe not fire-
proof They give full credit to inlluonces
that will not be able to pay one cent on a
dollar They plunge iuto a labyrinth
from which no bankrupt law or two
thirds enactment will ever extrioato
them They take into their partnership
the world the flesh and the dovil and
the enemy of all righteousness will tboast
through eternal ages that the man who
in all his business life could not be out-

swindled out of heaven
Perhaps some of you saw the fire in

ANSONS SENSATION
Sharp and His Paramour Plead Guilty Sym
pathv for the Woman
Correspondence of the Gazette
Anson Tex April 10 Anson is all
agog over the Sharp scandal that was
developed yesterday evening C B
Sharp or R B Raymen as he wag
known horo was arraigned before hi
honor County Judge Smith on a charge
of living in adultery with Mrs Linnia
Lemons He asked for further time
which wa3 aeeordad nd this evening
he was again arraigned before the
bar of justice Ho entered a plea
of guilty and pleaded for the mercy of
tho court The court ordered a fine of
S300 to be entered up against him for his
crime whioh will probably be laid out
in jail In his statement before the
court Sharp gave the following version
of the affair Up to a few months ago
he was a respected citizen of the town of
Carrsville in the grand old state of Ken
tuoky a state noted for its blue grass
fat horsos Bourbon whisky and pretty
women He lived in good ciroumstances
SjVas well raised and upon reaohing
finanhoods estate led a blushing bride
to Hymens altar But incompat
ability of temperament and disposition
led to an estrangement wliich grew
as the years rolled by and notwith-
standing the fact that they were blessed
by the advent of throe lovely children
the courts of tho country were resorted
to in order that both might be free again
The divorce was grcr d and the whilom
husband and wife were separated In
the same town wa3 raised Miss Linnia
Crotser who was beautiful accom-
plished and tho ideal of her family and
acquaintances At the age of sweet six-
teen the lovely Linnia was overper
suaded by her relatives to unite her des-
tiny with that of Mr Lemons a ripe old
bachelor of fortyfive The union was
blessed by the advent of two angelio little
girls but the wife and mother
was never satisfied with her lot
She never loved her devoted spouse
and thoy finally agreed to separate
After the separation Mrs Lemons was
thrown in the company of Sharp The
similarity of their positions coupled
with the affinity of their natures soon
provoked a great deal of sympathy As
sympathy broadened and extended it
finally developed into love and in a short
time ugly rumors wero in circulation
about the pair It was then that they
agreed to flee the country turn thoir
baoks on the ties that held them there
and in a distant country begin anew the
battle of life trusting in each others love
and basking in the perpetual sunshine of
unalloyed happiness They came to
Jones county and settled In Anson
where Sharp formed a partnership for
tho practice of law But the woman
soon tired of the arrangement and wrote
to relatives in Kentucky where she was
and implored them to send for her
but not to let Sharp know anything
about the matter as he was a perfeot
demon This led to correspondence with
the Masocio lodge here and the arrest
was the result Sharp in pleading
guilty made quite a pathetic appeal for
mercy and begged the pardon of the
community for the deception he had
practiced upon them and stated that it
was the only crime he had ever been
guilty of That he had suffered every
minute since his arrival here and that
his arrest was a great relief to him The
woman also entered a plea of guilty and
was fined 100 There is a great doal of
sympathy expressed hers for her but
none for Sharp He is looked upon as
being responsible for the whole trouble
The woman will probably soon be sent
back to her friends in Kentucky
