RELIGION IN CITIES.
REV. DR.. TALMAGE breaches UPON
MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS.

He Says the Castles Of Sin Are All Going
to Be Captured by the sunglass Of the
Gospel Focused Upon wioledness Hs
Expects to Live to See It.
WASHINGTON, Sept 13.-So much that is
depressing is said about the wickedness OF
the cities that it will cheer us to read what
DR.. Talmagc says in this sermonabout their
coming redemption The text is Zechariah
viii, 3. "And the streets of the city shall
be full Of boys and girls playing in the
streets thereof. "
Glimpses Of our cities redeemed Now,
boys and girls who play in the streets run
such risks that multitudes of them end in
ruin. But in the coming time spoken Of
our cities will be so moral that lads and
lasses shall be as safe in the public thor
Oughfarcs as in the nursery.
Pulpit and printing press for the most
part in our day are busy in discussing the
condition of the cities at this time, but
would it not be healthfully encouraging to
all Christian workers, and to all who are
toiling to mike the world better, If we
should for little while look forward to
the time when our cities shall be revOlu-
tionized by the gospel Of the Son Of God,
and all the darkness of sin and trouble and
crime and suffering shall be gone from the
wOrldl
Every man has pride in the city Of his
nativity or residence, if it be city dis
tinguished for any dignity or prowess.

and Paul of Tarsus. I should have sus-

birth or residence-no exhilaration at the
evidence of its prosperity or its artistic en-
bellishments, or its intellectual advance

to point to its Independence hall and its

A Rsr,arI.abIs Git of Portraits by Watts

Mr. George Frederick Watts is not only
the greatest portrait painter of the Vic
torian age, but also the most liberal donor
to the national collection of portraits.
Quite recently he has added about 10 pic
lures to the gallery, IN accordance with
what may be called his lifelong purpose
They illustrate the intellectual genius Of
his time with n sympathy, strength and
completeness that have scarcely been
achieved by any other painter. For many
years the gallery has been in possession Of
his portraits of Lord Lyons and Lord STRAIT
ford de Redcliffo, both painted, or at least
begun at Constantinople during or shortly
after the Crimean war, and Of Lord Lynd
hurst. To these, all presented by the art
ist, are now added the statesmen Lord
John Russell, Lord Shcrbrooke, Lord
Shaftesbury and Lord Lawrence; Panizzi,
the librarian of the British museum; Sir
Andrew Clark, the physician; the philoso-
pliers Mill and Carlyle; Manning, the
cardinal; Sir Charles Halle, the musician,
and no less than six poets-Tennyson and
Browning, Rossetti and Matthew Arnold,
Sir Henry Taylor and Lord Lytton tho
younger. -Cosmo Monkhouse in Scrib-

Tired Feeling

Makes you seem "all broken up" with
out life, ambition, energy or appetite.
1t is often the forerunner of serious ILL
ness, or the accompaniment of nervous
troubles. It is a positive proof of thin,
weak, impure blood; for, if the blood is
rich, red, vitalized and vigorous, it i'm
parts life and energy to every nerve,
organ and tissue Of the body. The
necessity of taking Hoods Sarsaparilla
for that tired feeling is therefore apparent
to every one, and the good it will do you
is equally beyond question. Remember
