A BEAUTIFUL INCIDENT.

! A poor Arab, travelling in the
desert, met with a spring of clear
sweet sparkling water. Used as he
was to bIackish wells, such water
as this appeared in his simple mind
! worthy OF Il monarch, and filling
LIS battle from the spring, he de
terlnined togo, and present it to
the Caiiph himself.
The poor man Travelled a long
way before he reached the presnce
of his sovereign and laid his humble
offering ut his feet. The Caliph did
not uespise the little gift brought to
hun with SD much trouble. He or
dtTed some OF the water 10 be pour
ed in a cup, drank it, and thanking
he Arab wifi. Il smile, ordered him
to be presented with reward. The
couriiers nrouGd pressed forward,
eager to taste OF the wonderful. Wa
ter; but. to the surprise of all, the
Caliph forbade. them to touch a sin
gle drop. After the poor Arab had
quilted the royal presence with d
light and .ioy.ui heart. the Caiiph
turned 10 mis- cOilrtiers and thus eX-
planned During the travels OF the

therefore l forbade you to touch

CHURCH DECORUM.

1t cannot have escaped the notice
of Bible readers, that when God
instituted a special, formal mode
Of public worship, leading object
with Him was to impress Worship
perS with some sense of His holiness.
All the appointments of the Taber-
nacie III .the wilderneSs-ihe sac
riiices, the vestments of the priests,
even the meanest utenSii employed
in the service-all were adapted
and intended to inspire sentiments
of reverence and solemnity suitable
to the holiness of HIu who was the
appointed object of worship. SO,
hewis.., of the L, mple service. The
hi ode of worship being the same, the
place oily being changed.
Infinite wisdom employed Objects
of sense as the best, and il may have
been, the only means of reaching
the mind and heart of the people
Of Israel When, however, the
church established its claims to the
faith and confidence OF men as a
divine institution, the ex'ernalltieS
of worship were in a great measure
dispensed with, and, in the divine
economy, the world Was expected
thenceiorwarl to receive the truths
OF revelation upon their own eVi-
drnce. 1t is, nevertheless, true.
that any house dedicated TO the
worship of God is not less emitted
tosolemnity inJ reverence than were
the Tabernacle and Temple.
This train OF thnueht has neen
suggested by witnessing among The
Gtntiles q wide departure from the
custom that is supposed to have
prevailed among the chosen peo-
pie during the best period Of their
history. # department in the
ctuvch nova days may be taken
as an index of feeling, there IS GER
taii.ly a laIHentabie contrast between
TIN, +. vpr,.rce of the ancient jew
and that of the modern Christian.
| am aware that the man who
ventures to speak out on this SUBJECT
is Liable 10 the charge of puiitanism.
If. however. the humble author o.
ibis article can say anything Witch
NAV serve to correct an evil, lie
ought to he wiling to bear the
odium which Al tarlies commonly to
the censor OF pubiic manners.
The design of this article Is t"
invite the attention OF church gong
people TO two practices which cali
iuu.ily 10: reform, as being repug-
naut alike 10 social refinement and
church decorum.
1t is only necessary to mention
one OF these habits to put a stop 10
it at once that OF gentlemen walk
ing in and out Of church with GOV
cred heads The other habit ~
which | desire more especially TO
invite public attention, is that OF
exchanging greetings after service:
and standing in the aisies to retail
the news of the past week, thus
blocking up the way SO that those
in the rear must s. bide their time;'
or else, by an equal breach OF pOiite-
ness, force their passage. When
the yestibuie is reached, instead OF
marching ont in an orderly manner,
a halt is made, all restraint IS lad
aside. and IA scene of levIty Is Wit
messed little compatible with the
place and occasion. An right-nilnd-
ed persons, whether innocent or
guilty, will unite in condemnIng
such conduct. Both the place ana
occasion ought to be so awe ln~pir
ing as to forbid entirely the custom

SPAIN AND CUBA.

The papers OF our entire country,
almost AS with u single voice, de
mand such Intervention in the affairs
of Cuba as will render a repetition
of the Nirginius murders impossible.
AS Spain cannot prevent anarchy
and bioodshed on the island, the
Obligations of humanity and self
defence compel an intervention.
The Spanish authorities in Cuba
are almost as bitterly opposed to
the Republic, set up in Spain, as to
that which the naive CubanS have
for five years been attempting to
establish. More than one Cuhan
has been done TO death by private
vengeance for openly ANNOUNCING
himself i'll favor of the Spanish Re
public.
In view of all the facts we believe
that Spain could readily be Induced
TO give up Caha altogether. The
Island is already virtually lost TO
her. and now the blood OF the Eir-
ginius victims furnishes to the pro-
cramme the seal of memorable fate.
The brutality and hatchery which
become chronic in the island can
no longer be permitted by our peo-
pie and Government. With stron 9
hand they must be checked
But authority for intervention can
be obtained by only one of two
ways. The landing of American
troops on the island would be an
act OF war; unless Spain surrenders
to our Government her rights in
the premises. 1t is clear that they
must and will be landed. and the
probabilities now are, that this Ian
ding will be with the contest OF
I Spain. II Spain does not consen,
and sell, the alternative i open war
