"I may leave your house, and, in fact, I have no objection to the structure remaining exactly where it is, for I have no means of moving it, but I do object to leaving your daughter, whose affections I have gained and whose life would wither like a flower out of season were it not interwoven with my own." "You talk like a romantic fool, sir. What have you got to feed my daughter on, sir ?" "What is she in the habit of eating? What's her regular diet ? I don't propose a food revolution." "She has been accustomed to eating, and if she were to marry you, I am convinced that she would be obliged to forego that ia nrv 11C9A In 4*Q ll'in (T tn mn I U1COOU1U* -LIICIC AO Xl\J UOV 1U UViUiug w u?v? You can not marry my daughter, and in this refusal I feel that the entire State of Arkansas will take an approving interest." "Old man, I cannot help but smile at your recklessness. You do not know me. You think that I am poor, untitled and unknown, but, sir, I have a future before me." "If I thought so, you might take the girl." | "And if I can prove it to your satisfaction will you give your consent to our marriage?" "Yes, sir." "All right. I say that I have a future before me." i "That's what you said." "I have, for if I did not have a future before me, where would I have it ? You don't think that I have a future behind me, do you ? A man's future is always before him, and to correct any error into which you might have fallen, I will state that it is a man's'past that's behind him." The old gentleman reflected for a moment ! and replied : "I always said thatmy daughter should marry either a rich man or the biggest fool in the country, and as you are not rich, you may take her."?Arkansas Traveler. _ Mosquitoes in Mississippi.?"Now, sir, answer me truthfully. Do you believe that six of your biggest mosquitoes could kill a mule if he was tied up out here ?" Wo irknL-ori nirnp in amazement for a min ute, and then went to the door and beckoned in the man sitting on a box and watching the horses. When the man came in the native said: "William, you remember that air roan mule o' yours?" "I reckon." "In perfect health, wasn't he?" "He was." "Could run like a deer and kick like a sawlog ?" "He could." "And he was all alone in a ten-acre lot, William ?" "He was," "And two of them mud-swamp skeeters got arter him one morning ana run him down and killed him, and devoured both hams and sucked every drop of blood in his body. William, speak up." "Stranger, if they didn't, then I hope to be chawed to rags," said William, and he said it exactly like a man who wouldn't have allowed there were two 'skeeters if he hnrin't hppn pfl.rnestlv convinced of the fact. He walked out doors, and a deep silence fell upon us two, broken only after a long interval by the native saying: "I've alius kinder suspected that them two 'skeeters had assistance from a hossfly, but I can't prove it. I kinder think the hoss-fly held him down while the murder was committed." A Judge's Presence of Mind.?1 could write some touching characteristics of Hodge City and its vicinity if I chose, says a correspondent of the Louisville Commercial. There are fifty men in town with a "record"?having killed their man each. There is Judge Mcintosh. The judge was only a 'squire, but he took jurisdiction with the best courts in the United States. He was also police judge, Scotch-Irish and coroner. One of his celebrated cases was that of an Irishman named Kelly, who killed another Irishman by driving a pickaxe through his head. "You hear the charge fernenst you?" asked Me . "Are you guilty or not guilty?" "Well," says Kellyj slowly, "I killed Pat, and I suppose I'm guilty." Says the court slowly and deliberately, and with intense brogue: "Kelly, ye're a domm fool for owning to it. Now, I'll give you one more chance; are you guilty now or not guilty?" I punched Kelly, and said to him : "Not ^MilftT t?Aii frvnl " gUllbt, J ?ivn/l. "Not guilty," says Kelly. "I discharge you for want of evidence," says "Mo ," the cost of the court is even $20. Mr. Sheriff, collect before you release the prisoner." This was before over one hundred people. A Puzzled Engineer.?An eminent engineer of to-day says that when a young man in his profession he was one night in a Pennsylvania tavern, and a lounger was pretty much monopolizing the conversation, and to the disgust of the engineer, was setting up as an oracle in engineering, among other things. Says the lounger: "Yes, sir, the arch is allfired strong, you bet! Take an egg! The shell of that is an arch, and I can stand an egg on the floor here in such a position that you can't break it with that half bushel measure there, hit as hard as you will." The young engineer thought it was time to prick the bubble, so he bet the fellow ?10 that ne couia smasn me egg with the measure, be the position of the egg what it might, if it was put on the floor uncovered, The egg was brought, and the lounger at once stood it on the floor in the corner of the room. The engineer did not even try to fit a round measure into a square corner, but threw down his money and left; but he hated barroom wiseacres worse than ever. t6&- The derivation of the word Texas is involved in a great deal of obscurity. There are three or four different accounts of how the word originated, but they are all more or less improbable. An old Texan imparted to us an entire new legend last week. The legend is surrounded, so to speak, with such a halo of probability that we think the mystery is solved at last. Many of the old settlersof Texas came to this, then unnamed, region because they had to leave- home or be hung. They loved their former homes, nevertheless, and were often homesick. On such occasions, imitating the children of Israel, they were wont to hang their harps on a mesquite tree, and warble a plaintive ditty to the effect that When every land forsakes us, This is the land that takes us, From "takes us" to Texas is an easy flight of the imagination.?Texas Sift bigs. t&t "Where was it ?" the Pilgrim said, thoughtfully.

The Apostle Paul, in the very beginning of his first, epistle to the church at Corinth, lays a positive claim to apostleship. This claim he bases upon the call of God. This was the only solid foundation for such a claim. Paul wasa Jew, a descendant of the illustrious patriarch Abraham; he was a Pharisee of the strictest sort; he was a man of extensive learning; he was born free; but none of these things, nor ail 01 mem together, were sufficient to entitle him to be heard as an apostle. He was, as every officer in the church is, officially what he was "by the will of God." The object of the apostle, in declaring so positively in this and other epistles, his apostleship, was to give weight and influence to his teaching, and power and authority to his admonitions, censures and rebukes. The Christian congregation at Corinth was in a very disturbed condition. This can be accounted for in part, by the heterogeneous character of the members. Corinth was the principal city, at that time of Greece, but it nad been colonized by individuals sent there by Julius Cffisar. To Corinth people from all parts of Greece, from all sections of Rome and from the land of Palestine, had come. The inhabitants were Greeks, Romans and Jews, and the Church at Corinth was made up of Greeks, Romans and Jews. All were influenced by national education, national * ^ ? j: + religions, niUIQIUU prtyuuiuus aim imviuuai dislikes for each other. The Romans disliked the Greeks, and the Greeks disliked the Romans, and both disliked the Jews, and the Jews, in turn, hated both the Greeks and the Romans. Each regarded itself, nationally, intellectually, socially and religiously superior to the rest. As one result of these national feelings, contentions, strifes and wranglings sprung up in the congregation. From tne subsequent portions of this chapter, we learn that their wranglings were, in part, about their religious teachers. Some claimed to be followers of Paul, others claimed to be followers of Apollos, and others again claimed to be followers of Cephas. There was also a fourth party which, m its pride and folly, claimed to be of Christ, excluding all others from the pale of the visible cnurch. It is evident from other parts of the epistle, that they had very confused notions respecting both the doctrines and the practices of the Christian religion, and that they wrangled about these also. The apostle admonishes them in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, that there be no divisions?no rents?no schisms amongst them. The schisms or divisions in the Church at Corinth had not reached the point where actual separations had taken place. As yet, they only amounted to party feeling and party strife in the same organic body. It is clear from the teaching of the apostle that the congregation in Corinth had very indistinct notions of whatis meant by the Church of God. Such is still the case. The notions of the mass of those to-day who profess Christianity, entertain unscriptural notions as to what constitutes the Church of God. The word church is at present often used in a very vague and unscriptural sense. Some times it is used to denote the house in wnicn a community meet, at stated times, to worship God; sometimes it is used to denote a body of professed Christians, holding doctrines and practicing modes of worship different from those held and practiced by other bodies of professed Christians. Neither of these meanings is Scriptural. The word church is never, either in the Old Testament or in the New Testament, used to denote a house. Neither is it ever used to denote a particular community of Christians differing, in some respects, from other professed Christians. Sometimes we find in the NewTestament the expression, the "Church at Corinth, or at Ephesus, or at Philippi, or at some other place, but never do we find the expression Church of Corinth, Church of Ephesus, or Church of Philippi. There was no such a thing as the Church of Corinth. The true Scriptural meaning of the word church is the people of God, or as it is expressed in the Old Testament, "Congregation of the Lord." The church under the former dispensation, was two fold?visible and invisible. Every Jew was born a member of the visible church, entitled to all its privileges and subject to its government; but every Jewwas not a member of the invisible church. The visible church wasorganized with Abraham, and that organism, perfectlv develi .1? ?,1 opeu, continues iu-iuiy, uuu ?m tummuc until time is merged into eternity. Hence the church under New Testament dispensation, is both visible and invisible. "The visible church consists of all those throughout the world that profess the true religion, together with their children." The church "is the kiugdom of our Lord Jesus Christ, the house and family of God, out of which there is 110 ordinary possibility of salvation." The visible church then, according to this authority, and it most certainly is Scriptural, consists of all those who profess the true religion. The true religion is the religion of the Bible. It consists of doctrines to be believed and duties to be performed. Everything in connection .with the true religion is of divine appointment. Jesus Christ has left nothing undone, nothing for any of us to do but obey. He has prescribed what we must believe and what we must do, and how we must do what he commands. Professing religion is simply publicly declaring that we will receive what Jesus Christ has provided, and following Jesus is doing what he, in his word, has commanded. For the government of his people and for building them up in holiness, Jesus Christ has given them officers. These are called embassadors for Christ. He has also given his people a form of government and a system of laws. No man, or body of men. 110 church court or ecclesiastical council has any right to make laws, by which the church or the congregation of the Lord is to be governed. Ecclesiastical courts have administrative, not legislative powers. Jesus Christ is the lawgiver of his body, which is the church, and the Bible is the law book. It follows from this that the visible church is one, not many. Or, in the language of an old (confession, it is Catholic or universal. There is but one head, there can be but one body. The members may be many, but they are all members of one body, and are one* body. There is but pne faith, but one baptism, but one sacrament of the Lord's Supper, but one heaven?the home of all the redeemed, and but one door through which all who enter heaven must pass. In the church, as in Christ Jesus, all distinctions disappear. In Christ Jesns there is neither rich nor poor, bond nor free, high nor low. All are believers, this and nothing more. It maybe said this is an ideal church which has no existence on earth. It is readily admitted that such an organization as we have described does not now, and perhaps never will exist on earth, but still we claim that we have described the Church of God. "We see the church lacerated by schisms and bleeding at every pore. The strifes of the Church at Corinth have grown into animosities as bitter and relentless as were ever cherished in the hearts of heathen warriors. The church of God is divided. The fact is admitted. Does any one ask who did this? We reply, an enemy?the enemy of all good?the devil. What a pitiful sight the Church of God presents to-day. Kent into fragments. One party claiming to be of this and another of that sect, and some going so foolishly and wickedly far as to claim that they are of Christ while all others are not. The great enemy of souls is struggling grandly for a decaying?dying cause. The 1 i-_.il Tuc.o + prOlCSSBU JUUUWCra ui ucduouic iiKiiuug in details. Some are sitting before their tentdoors with folded arms, refusing to hurl a dart at the common enemy because every soldier cannot pronounce their shibboleth, and will not own their bannerto be the only banner. Others have actually arrayed themselves in a deceptious uniform and are claimed as friends by both Christians and the allies of Satan, These divisions in the visible church are not a part of it. Neither do they spring from a defect in the organization of the Chureh, or the mode of its perpetuation. The tares which sprung up in the field sown with wheat was not a natural result of sowing wheat. The wheat did not turn to tares. An enemy sowed the tares and the soil nourished them and they sprang up and grew. The unsanctified human heart is well adapted to the germinating and growth of schisms. This is the history of all the schisms in the church. They are tares of the devil's sowing. What is to be done to heal all these breaches? Some one savs let us ignore all these party lines, abandon all principles and leave i every individual to do as seemeth good in his own eyes. This is the very thing that the enemy of all good desires. It was this that brought on all the trouble. It was the abandoning of principle by some that made the first rent, and a disregard for the prohibitions and precepts of law, or each one do| ing as appeared good in his own eyes, produced all the rest of the evil. A poison is not an antidote for itself. An individual poisoned with strychnine or arsenic is not relieved by takingasan antidote strychnine or arsenic. No. He must take something that will, in some way, counteract or destroy the effects of these deadly poisons and itself produce no evil. The remedy for all the schisms in the church, we honestly conceive to be a strict adherence to the word of Hod in all things pertaining to belief and practice. The only safe rule in religion is the positive command of God for every doctrine, and for every tJiincr which tw?rtainK to God's worshin. Abandon this principle, or refuse to adopt it, and the whole matter of religion?all its doctrines, all its rites and ceremonies are subject to the whims of the superstitious and wicked multitude. The question to be asked in religion is "What does God in his word command?" not what does he forbid. To the law and the testimony, if they speak not according to these, it is because the truth is not in them. The divisions in the church must?we say must?continue to exist and new schisms 'must continue to be made and new parties be formed so long as men neglect or refuse to make the Bible the rule and the only rule of faith and practice. Until men abandon the untenable and dangerous gosition that whatever is not positively foridden in the Scripture is right in doctrine and lawful in worship, the visible church must continue to be what it is to-day, and what it has been for eighteen generations? a mixed multitude professedly on the road to the heavenly Canaan, but wrangling about supposed nigh-cuts and forbidden by-paths. The apostle Paul solemnly and affectionately admonishes professed Christians in every (Quarter of the globe to speak the same thing, to be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment. This is the church which Jesus Christ established on earth, and it is the church which every true Christian longs to see. The remedy for existing schisms in the visible church, and the preventive against all future rents Is easily pointed out. If all professed Christians would severally eliini nate from tlieir formulas 01 doctrine ana directories for worship everything which is not clearly laid down as precept, and enjoined as duty in the word of God, all past schisms would be healed and all future separations prevented, and the people of God would present an unbroken and unwavering front against the common foe. For such a state of things it is the duty of us all to labor diligently, pray without ceasing, and hope unto the end, trusting (Jf 1 it should be remembered that this very desirable and much to be desired state of things cannot be accomplished by recklessly abandoning party standards. This would be to make another opening in the ranks for the entrance of the enemy. The moment we abandon our party of denominational standards that moment the enemy will make a rush. The tares must remain until the harvest. It is the duty of those parties between which their difference are fewest, and of least importance to begin first, this work of unifying the visible Church. May the day soon come when all our party animosities and bitter feuds will melt into brotherly love and the banner of Jesus Christ shall float wherever on this broad earth their is a human being, every other banner being pulled down and buried in the gulf which is washed by the waters of oblivion. ?hc f orhuille (Zhtquim.
