AT a fashionable city church, where
pews are eagerly snapped up at about
a thousand dollars each, a young man
and his newly married wife recently
attended worship, and were so well
pleased with the preacher that they
resolved to attend regularly. Accord
ingly, as they passed out one Sunday,
the gentleman, calling the sexton
aside, said patronizingly: See here,
1 think, on the whole. I'll come to this
church. Now, | want to hire two
seats-good seats, mind you-on the
lower floor, and now let me see all
that you have to let" 10 lett did

The same superficial gentleman
gave his dictum that good and evil
were bat comparative and uncertain

Cincinnati and our Water Line.

The New York Times refers to CONS
modore Maury's project for reinstating
Cincinnati in her former commercial
prosperity, and thus comments on it:
Commodore M. f. Maury has offered
some explanations to the people of Gin
cinnati on this point. He recalls the
early promise of the city, and contrasts
it with its actual position. Once Gins
cinnati was the commercial focus of the
Ohio Valley. When the Erie canal was
opened, an impetus was given to tho
construction of canals between the Ohio
and the lakes. These canals gave Gin
cinnati a valuable trade with New York,
and very soon she acquired the proud
title of "Queen Of the West"
immigration flowed more and moro
toward the West, and railways were
constructed in every direction. Land
near the lake borders was brought un-
der cultivation, and the produce from it
served to supply the country hitherto
fed from the Erie canal. Wagon
and railway transportation suiliced to
| carry the grain to the districts which
needed it.
Cincinnati was "blocked out by watel
from the Atlantic seaboard," and thu
war crippled her commerce with thu
South. Under these adverse influence
she languished. And now, what can b
done to revive her vanished glories
