Misfenann,
The Church of Christ,

"When," says Mr. Beecher, 1--WE come
to be released from the narrowness OF
our own Church and our own sect, how
joyful is the brotherhood of good men
and how strong we are! We are apt to
suppose that Chrst's church is identic-
al with our own sect. When we arc
looking abroad and measuring the prog
ress of christianity, we are perpetually
tempted to selfishness and conceit. 1t
is the progress of the Baptist Church,
or of the Methodist Church, or of the
Presbyterian Church, or of the Congre
gational Church, that inspires in us the
conviction that Christ's kingdom is
growing in us.
"But take larger book Whenever
under any name, men love Christ and
their fellow men, they are Christ's and
are spreading Christ's kingdom. And
how glorious is the Church of God now
upon the earth! Not that narrow, con-
tending Church which the eye can see
nor that Church upon which you can
put the arithmetic, and which you can
measure; not that Church whose cathe.
rails and buildings you can behold
not that is the Church of God; but that
larger Church which is invisible. The
outward Church, as men look upon it,
is split up, and is pursuing various
controversy with diverse weapons
But there is Church wherein is har.
mony; and that is the invisible Church
that is made up of good men. 1t is
that Church which is made up of the
concurring hearts Of those who love the
Lord Jesus Christ in sincerity and
| truth"

The Stolen Watch.

One of the best stories we remember
referring to a stolen watch, came from
a French source, In the rit of the ole
French opera, one of the audience sud
denly discovered that his watch was
gone. The evenings entertainment had
not commenced, and the owner of the
property mounted q bench, stated the
loss. which could not have occurred
above two or three minutes, and BEG.
ged those around him to remain per.
fectly quiet, as his watch struck the
hours like clock, and, it then being on
the stroke of seven, the watch would
speedily indicate into whose possession
it had fallen. There was dead silence
but the eye Of the proprietor detected
an individual who was trying to edge
away from the vicinity, and Immediately
denounced the sknlker as the thief
The latter was seized, and the watch
was found upon him and as the owner
quietly put it in his pocket, he remark
ed, "The watch does not strike the
hours, but l thought my assertion thai
it did would enable me to strike out the
thief"
''Does your watch 60 well ?" asked /,
bystander of the happy owner.
"It both goes well and returns well,
replied the latter.

A Sad Story.

A little boy having heard a beautiful
story about little hoy and halchet,
and how, because the little boy wouldn't
tell lie, he, in time, got to be President
OF the United States, was very much i'm.
pressed by it. Now. it so happened that
on the last day of March, he was JUS ten
years old, AMI his father asked him what
he would like to have for a birthday
present. Very naturally the boys an
swer was, "a little hstchet,if you please,
papa"
The father bought him little hatchet
that very day, and the boy was so de
lighted that he actually took it to bed
with him.
Early the next morning he got Up,
drassedshimself, took his little Ratchet
and went into the garden. There, as
luck would have it, the first thing that
caught his eye was his fathers favorite
cherry tree "My eyes" exclaimed the
little bow to himself, ''what a time my
father would make if a fellow were to
cut that treew 1t was a wicked thought,
for it led him into temptation There
was the tree--tall, straight and fair
standing invitingly bef5re him; just the
thing for sharp little hatchet. And
there was the hatchet-strong, sharp and
shining-just the thing for favorite
cherry tree. In another instant the swift
strokes o. an axe were heard in the still
morning air, and, before long, small
boy was seen running toward the house.
His father met him at the door
"My boy, what noise was that l heard
just now? Surely you have..not been at
my favorite cherry tree!"
The boy stood proudly before him,
but with downcast eyes and flushing
cheeks.
"Father," he said, 81 cannot tell a lie.
That cherry tree is"
"Say no more,' said the father, ex.
tending his arms. "You have done
wrong, my son; and that was my favor
lite tree; but you have spoken the truth.
] forgive you. Better to"
This was too much. The boy rushed
into his fathers arms.
"Father!" he whispered. "Apra fool!
l haven't touched the cherry tree, but l
most chopped the old apple stump to
pieces"
"You young rascal, youF' cried the
father; "do you mean to say you haven't
chopped my cherry-tree2 April fool
yonr old fotbar will you2 Take off vonr
coat, sir"
With suppressed sob. that little hoy
obeyed. Then, shutting his eyes, he felt
his fathers hand descend upon his
shrinking form.

he stroked the little shoulder, sit is the
first of April. Go thy way."-Fron'
