Hardly do wo“think of & more soul-stirring sceno in all scientifio history than when thut youth of 20, with Leart all on firo in the frith of the grandest imponding discoverv, loft all to to observe the Babbath in his wonted worship of God, and bad his confiding southful platy ro- warded by a sight beforo nightfall of tht new 1evelation, which buman oye had never beforo behold, which sages and groat ones of tho woild bad longed in vain to see. How tine would be o puinting of that uvotable sunsot, with the church in the baokground, and telescope point- ing sunward, whilo tho stripling astronomer (on his knoes) lifta adoring hunds, overwhelmed with gratitude for tho wonderful discovery that i8 beaming on his eye, Jeromish Horrox died soou afterwards, a noble spirit, oarly gathared home. But, like another we wotof, ha lived long enough thus to lnmortalize his pamo with #ome bright outbursts of a genius divinely in- spired | Thus was demonstratod and porfected the ustonishing accuracy of aatronowicul calenlation. Thus wsa the morniug slar's new rovelation vouchsafed to n senipling, rather than a man of tonown, And so is the wisdom of God often hidden from the wise and prudent, while it is ro~ voulod to habes. So doos the Groat Redeemer, the Morning Star of onr souls, unfold Iis glories to tho humble and childtike mind, while tho proud mt:d_u.m mighty go plodding on in the darknoge of sin, Lot us look, then, with docile hoart, to Him who 18 the Btar of our hove. In the far-distant ages of the early Jews, Ho was promised to men under tius vory aspect. Said Balaam in propha- oy: “There shall como a awar out of Jacob, and o scaptro shall rige out of Isrrel.” Aud Isnial long siterwards confirmed tho promise: *Tho Qoutiles shuil come to Tuy light, aud Xings to the brightness of Thy rising." So when Im- manuel appearod, a etar scon from the Enst was the signal of His coming ; aud tuo Gaentile wise men did come to tho brlfihlnfl!x of i rising, making that * Star of Bothlohom " to bacome the symbol of Mossiah's march, Well did old acharias then oxclain: * The day-spring from on high (the morning dawn) had visited ns, to give light to thom that st in darkuess, and in tho shadow of death, to guide our foct into the way of peaco,” nd well has the Apostlo added: *Qod, who comuanded tho light ¢o shire ont of darkness, hath sbined fn our henrts, to §h'n tho light of the kuowledgo of the glory of God, in tha faith of Josus Christ." Yes! Jesus Christ is that Star which was promised to come out of Jacob, Aud go, reforring to that old propheoy of Mo~ siah (upon wmcfi all oyon were fixed, whother of Eastern mngi or of Joivieh sainta), our Lord do- claras to ue, as In the text: “I, Jesus, . . . am tho Btar, bright and early,"—"the Lright and Morning Star!" Oh come tnen, boloved, * bright and early," to thiy vision of the dawn. Como, look nupon Je- #us and beliave, in Him. ‘Then Ife, who hath +* caused tho day-spring to know e place™ will Mudlo s doy-spring of glory fn your soul ; and yours shall bo *‘the puth of the just,” which *' ia a8 the shinlng light, that ebineth moro and moro unto the perfect dny."” *‘8weet is tho brenth of morn," says Milton ; for Now the bright morning star, day'a harhinger, Comes dancing from tho Enst, And our Mormng Star, our Jeaus, Savior, is moro glorlous niill. We may fitly apply to Him the beautiful lungunge of Job: * Hia eyos uro likn tho oyelids of the morning,” * the dawning of the dn{". 'Ihe light of "His countenauce, boatwing wildly upon us, ls more delightful than all tho glimmer of tho starry sky | Far, lol God’s well-beloved Ono Comen, flashing light afur 3 Av, {r Lo boion of the sun, Bpriugs forth tho moruing atar | —— - LATEST NXW YORK MARKETS, Spesial Dispatels ta The Chicaoo Tribune.
