CORRESPONDENCE

The Rev. Mr. Kecne preached
one of his finest and yest sermons
at Osyka on yesterday, from
Psalm 49, IL "For the Lord God
is a Sun and shield. "
Mr.. Keene is not only well post
ed fol young man but nature
has done much for him as an
orator and fine Methodist singer, !
aud his influence on the people
and denomination will tell il
coming years. 1t IS 70 be hoped
that the Conference will allow
him to remain another year upon
the present work. The putting
Osyka on the Amite City work
has done much for the town, an3
the energy Of Mr. Keene for two
years has put n1ethodlsm on a
square and solid footing there.
'rhc establishment Of the Sab
bath n.tcrao11 class mectu-s at
/ Osyka begun and lead Mr..
w llnan. has al suumcr furnish
ed uch religious d ssert 10 tie
usual snbblh felslS. Even an
ordinary sermon IN the forenoon
,ha, l. backed mp ali bolst re by
i strong r'l'gois inquiry meet
ing IN the afternoon, is aade far
more ellicacious.
1t is strange that all the Chris
tian people il town do not attend
these weekly inquiry n 'etlngs,
without reference to church OF
sect as the object sought Is but
10 widen the stream of religious
conservation in the Christian heart
and to tell Of trials and troubles
surmountnd through the influence
and power Of prayer.
MEMO.
A great effort was mlde during
the Thigpen meeting, recently
held at Osyka to re-unite the two
Baptist churches there. Commit
tees were appointed by bo'h
churches to adjust matters on
which both could stand.
The Committees met not long
since at second church, but utter
ly failed to agree upon any term
Of compromise.
As both churches are strong
/. and IN good working order 1t il
; difficult to understand why they
should wish to re-unite.
They now employ two pastors
and pay each as much as botl
paid before.
They have two wcll-regulated
q Sabbath Schools, where they had
1 but one before. They have 1--WE
, prayer meetings per week where
they had but one bafole
Each has developed new prayer
v gus tneS az not nave before.
They have two good and paiC
for houses Of worship whore they
: had bat one before.
! They help run two Association.
Is where they ran but one before.
f, With all these facts PLAIN belor,

Giant Glaciers of Alaska.

The southwestern face of st. Elias. It
is safe to say, will never be climed; it
presents a mass of broken snow, beauti-
full, yet forbidding. We estimated the
summit to be about 1000 feet above us,
making its total height 1880 feet It
seemed to us that the coast survey in
giving it 10, 800 feet was too liberal in its
figures. The day was cloudless; the
whole scene was one that battles descrip-
ton. 1t surpassed in grandeur, though
not in picturesqueness, the very best that
the Alps can offer. Roughly speaking,
the eye encountered for miles nothing
but snow and ice. had never before
thoroughly realized the vastness of the
Alaskan glaciers, though during the past
fortnight we had spent many weary
hour in crossing immense moraines.
| One Of the glaciers we looked down
upon was not less than sixty miles long,
while another attained breadth of
twenty-five or thirty miles. From below
had gained the impression that ice
covered with debris predominated over
white ice. / now saw that this was not
the case, and that the ratio of debris to
clear ice was probably not greater than
that Of ten to one. When standing at a
considerable height one appreciates for
the first time the beautiful curves
through which the glaciers alter their
course. We noticed this in particular in
looking down upon the Agassiz glacier.
It appeared at one point to describe
three or four arcs Of concentric circles
with radii varying from eight to ten
miles, each arc being indicated by a
light coating of stones, the whole resem-
bling an immense race course. Through
the middle of the Tyndall glacier, and
for distance of several miles, two light
streaks of moraine ran parallel to each
other, presenting from above the appear
ance of huge serpent crawling the
length Of the glacier.-Scribner's Maya
zine.

A professional "funny man" says that
he once gave humorous lecture ct
which all his audience reared with
laughter, with the exception of an old
man in one Of the front seats, who pre-
served an aspect of owl like solemnity.
The humorist almost exhausted himself
In efforts to win one smile from that
stolid visage, and he was only relieved
by hearing, after the lecture, that the
man was stone deaf.
At a very hilarious family party, one
old gentleman, famous for his apprecia-
ton of joke, was observed to be alb
solutely silent, even when the fun was
at its loudest His unusual soberness of
demeanor first pdzzled and then dis
turbed his friends.
aren't you well tonight, uncle?"
asked a young man, finally, drawing the
old gentleman aside.
"Bless you, yes, I never felt betterr
you're not troubled about anything2"
"Why, no! What makes you askg"
II noticed you didn't smile at all when
all the rest Of us were laughing, and
that's something new, you know"
The old gentleman put his hand to his
mouth, and whispered:
Don't yoa say word, Harry, but
just now can't laugh. I'm afraid to-

In the office of one of the prominent
hotels one evening was overheard quite
an amusing story Of Corp. Tanner an !
his two artificial legs. 1t seems that the
corporal is very fond of fine horses and
undertook to raise few last year. He
had one particularly fine horse, thor
oughbred, and he would let no one use
him but himself. One day while the
stableman was exercising him he acct
dentally stepped into a mud hole and
sprained a leg SO badly that the doctor
advised having the horses hoof bathed
in hot water three times q day.
One day, when the gallant corporal
was giving the horse the customary bath,
friend of his came along and told him
it was cruelty to animals to bathe the
horses foot in such warm water, and
asked him how would he like it if he had
to put his foot in it. To which the COR
poral replied that he would not mind it
at all. His friend, thinking he saw a
chance to win some money, bet him a
hundred dollars that he would not keep
his foot in the water for five minutes.
The bet was no sooner said than it was
accepted by the corporal, who not only
put his foot in it, but put his whole leg
in and kept it there for five minutes.
The friend paid the bet, but probably
has not to this day found out how it was
possible for the supposed victim to keep
his foot in boiling water for five minutes.
