TALMAGE ON NAHUM'S CHARIOTS.

IN a discourse preached in Brooklyn, N. Y., on Sunday, Jan. 4, on the Tay-bridge disaster, Talmage took as his text Nahum 2:4: “The chariots shall rage in the streets, they shall jostle one against another in the broad ways; they shall seem like torches, they shall run like the lightnings.”
Upon this text, according to the report in the Inter-Ocean of Jan. 5, he made these opening remarks:—
“If that be not an express rail train under full headway at night, what is it? . . . . . While reading the text you hear the clasp of the car coupling, the roar of the wheels, and the terrific velocity which any night may be heard on the iron track between New York and Buffalo, between Cincinnati and Pittsburgh, between Charleston and Savannah, between Edinburgh and Dundee.”
