Stories.
From the Cincinnati Weekly Gazette

Stories.
From the Cincinnati Weekly Gazette.
"The Tennessee troops said a we'll
known Cincinnati official, who wears the
tri-colored button of the Loyal Legion,
were the butt OF much joking
among the Union soldiers during
the war, on the ground that they'd
never shut door, and hsd misht feet
that would astonish a Chicago girl The
neglect 10 shut doors was explained by
the Tennesseeans on the ground that
their climate was so salubriOus that they
had no need for doors, except on their
smoke-houses. They never, however,
forgot or forgaye the story a prisoner told
al Belle Isle about their big feet. 1t
was at Petersburg the prisoner said,
that our brigade met Tennessee regl-
ment and poured hot shot into them for
an hour. We knew we were doing terri
bic execution, because we could sec their
guns dropping out of their hands.
Somehow or other, though, none Of the
fellows fell. Presently we charged, and
when we came up to their line we found
that what remained Of il were dead
men. We had 20 knock them over with
the butts OF our muskets, because their
big feet wouldn't let them fall down.
II was mean story, but then there was
so much truth in it that il ought to have
been forgiven by the Tennessee people. "

FERTILE OASIS.

There are always fertile GASES in the
bleakest and most arid deserts So in
the church that has fallen lowest, there
may always be found some heart that
beats time TO God and duty, and that
soul may be the honored agent of the
spirit In reminding upon the altar holy
fires, that may warm the entire body.
No church, perhaps, is destitute Of hypo-
critics, and certainly none is wholly desti-
tute Of sincere followers of Christ. So
long as church exists 1t is sincere proof
that u holds in its bosom some seed of
goodness, and when once God deter
mines to remove that seed, he is certain
to cut down the tree, and not permit il to
stand fruitless cumberer of the ground.

nifty, and ask II their thrills of ccstacy

THE CHURCH Will LIVE.

Let us bear this encouraging thought
In mind. Though individual churches
may disappear here, the true church of
Christ, nevertheless, is steadily progress
ing in the accomplishment OF its divine
mission among men. Sometimes re-
ligious croakers, forgetting the teach
ings OF Scripture, proclaim that the
hands are moving backward on the
spiritual dial-plate Of the world. They
cry, "the Church is losing its power,
the world is advancing to victory; sin
is triumphing, and the Lord hath for
gotten to be gracious Their cry is
false. Every decline they profess 10
witness is only temporary. The church
is really and steadily advancing. Re
ligion may decline in our own hearts; il
may die out in our individual church
we may even be completely blotted
from existence, but thank God
Christ's kingdom shall never
fail In the world The branches
may be Topped of because of their
decay, but the tree itself shall be bene-
fitted by the pruning, and shall remain
and live until its graceful foliage shall
spread over every land, and its golden
fruits ripen In every cline There is a
river, the streams whereof make glad the
City Of God" Its channels shall never
be empty. Its living waters spring from
an exhausiless fountain. Flowing clear
from beneath the throne of God and the
Lamb; its blessed streams of purity and
happiness shall ever roll through the
world, unfrozen amidst the cold of win
ter and undried by the drought of sum
nm
