ABOUT THAT coRNER-sToNE.

It was in his mail that DIR. Talmage found
the suggestion of that stroke of enterprise
which will make the new Tabernacle in
Brooklyn point of interest to the wander
ing antiquarian as well as to the great multi
tude bungering for the sound doctrine to be
thereat dispensed. He opened his mail at
breakfast time, and, finding in it an excel
lent drawing of the Tabernacle to be erect
ed for him on Clinton avenue, he remarked
s'What grand thing it would be to have
the cornerstone for this magnificent church
from Mars Hill. I shall write M. Tri-
coupis and tell him just what want. Per-
haps he Will help me-" Suiting the action
to the word, he sat down and penned let
ter to the Prime Minister, who responded
that he should have great pleasure in at
tending to the request made.
In Athens, which is yet, as you know,
only of small size, DR.. Talmage became
quite we'll known to the citizens. many OF
whom learned to recognize him as he pegged
away at his sightseeing. He showed all
the scholars enthusiasm in his work, jog

Greeks, he said to me: with their polit-
ical freedom and artistic traditions, with the
source of inspiration at their very doors,
may we not expect that they, with all the
rest of the world, but in a higher degree,
will develop a capacity for art and litera-
ture which may yet astonish the world?'
There is much that is attractive in mod

well-kept streets, and its stores appear t. be
