Wasbingeon, Feb. 2l. -Ju this dis- course Dr. Talmage peaises Chris- tian heroism and tells of great re- wards. The text is Galatians vi, 17, "I bear M my body the marks of the Lord. Jesus." We hear much about crowus, thrones, victories, but 1 now tell 4 orable and dishonorable. There are the more quiet tory of scars, hon - ha all parts of the world people bearing dishouorable scars. They went into the battle ot sin and, were worsted, and to their dying day they will bare a, scarification of body or Imind or soul. It cannot be hidden. There are tens of thausonds of ram and women „now consecrated to God and lng holy lives who were once coirupte, but they bare been regener- ated, and they are no tiore wbat they ouce were than rubescence is ,elnaciation, than balm is vitriol, than tioonday is midnight.

In some twinge (if pain Or some tendency to surrender to the wrong which they must perpetually resist they have an unwholennue reminiscence. TheY Carry sears, deep sears, ignoble sears, But Paul in my text shows us a. -scarification which is a badge of hon. (wade and selasacrificing service.

Many daughters have done virtuously, but thou =vilest them all," People think they must look. for martyrs on battlefields or go through a. history to and. burnings at the stake and tortures on reales when there are martyrs all aeout us. At this time in this capital ciey there are score.% of mu wearing themselves out in 'The public service. In ten years they will not have a _healthy nerve left in •their body. Ba committee rooms, in consultations that involve the welfare of the me - tion, under the *weight of great re- sponsibilities, their vitality is belug substracted. In almost every village of the country you. find some brolcen down state or national official. No man that was ever put to death by sword or instrument of torture was .more of a martyr than that latan Who has beea wrung to death by the demands of otheial position. The sears may not be visible, for these are sears on the brain and sears on the nerve and sears on the heart, but nevertheless are they sears, and God counts them and their reward win be abundant. There is a woman who has suffered domestic injustice of which there is no cognizance. She says nothing about it. An Inquisitor's machine of torture could not wring from her the story of domestic woe. Ever since the day of orange blossoms and long white veil she has done her full duty and received for ie harsh- ness and blame and neglect. The marriage ripg, that was supposed to be a sign of unending affection, has turned out to be one link of a ehaja of horrible servitude.

TEStne'S NEW LIGHT, WORLD -FAMED. That (=rest Astronomienl Irisatution, the GreenWieli Observatory -The Vre- seut Astronomer Royal. In 0, review of the book just pub- lished by Z. W.

Of these e' Bliss filled the position for only two Years; but the others lived long and worked hard at their posts. Flaw - steed, Maskelene and Airy for nearly half century ea,ch; Halley, Brad- ley and Pond for nearly a quarter of a century. The names of the Astronomere Roy- al are all associated with one or two notable events, though not al- ways special achievements of their own. The naine of PlareSteed calls up at once the foundation of the Observatory, Nithich was in great measure due to hint, and, unfortun- ately, oleo the quarrel with.
