Jesus had said that the Spirit would reprove or convince of sin, righteousness and judg. ment (John xvi., 8-11), and already oh. the first day of His coming behold how mightil He works (Gal ii., 8).. But observe that He wrought conviction by the word spoken by the prophets, and as Jesus. crucified and risen was therein presented to the people. 38. **I'nen Peter said unto them, Repent and be baptized every gfe “of you in the name of Jesus Christ, for the remission of sin, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.” .

While our regi- ment, the 179th Pa.. lay in reserve at Yorktown, Pa.. in the winter of 1868, an accident of a serio-comic nature occurred y= in the barracks, which still causes laughter, al though it is near- mi =ly 28 years ago fi \ since I witnessed Bi SSS the performance. The boys of Co. 3 =>D, to whichlI alse : belonged, were,as LET usual, on the alert for fun, and chance presently turned on one of our comrades, a dry, droll sort of a fellow, but not lacking in genuine wit, whose’ name I have in - SOLDIERS’ COLUMN. “Ain't I Glad I'm Out of the Wilder- : ness.” During Gen. Pope’s retreat from Cul- pepper Courthouse to Manassas, “in August, 1862, our regiment arrived ut Rappahannock Station and leisurely turned up stream, watering our horses, ascended the opposite bank, formed ranks facing the river, dismounted, and, while our horses stood resting, we lay on the ground watching our army enter the river and. wade acros's It was very amusing to see how gingerly some of the infantry took to the water. It made us laughto see a fellow carefully take off his shoes and stockings, roll up his pantaloons, and then find that his legs were too short to keep his pants dry. It was a satis- faction to see the horses of the cavalry and mules of the ‘wagon-trains plunge their heads in and gulp down huge swallows of water. We must have remained an hour or more looking on atthe moving pan- orama. The head of a cavalry regi- ment had just entered the ford, and the first horses were beginning to dri.k, when from over in the woods beyond we heard the rebel yell, im- mediately followed by a tremendous uproar, amid which we could dis- CYCLONE AT BETHLEHEM.

That it is the leasure of God to bless and save whole households'is evident from the stories of Noah, Abram, Lot and Rahab (Zen. vii, 1; xviii, 19:3ix., 12; Joshua ii,, 18), and also from-such instances as that in Acts xvi; 34. 40. *‘And with many other. words did He testify and exhort, saying, Save yourselves from this untoward generation.” Not in loss and makes the damage by the storm al- most beyond estimating.

Fortunately we had drawn our al- lowance of candles that day, for which the boys were very giad, as it would be out of the question fo hold a wake without a goodly array of candles. Ac- cordingly each one contributed a piece from his supply until there was enough | to make'a bright display around the bunk.

It was, however, but for a moment that Perry was in the dark, and a glow of intelligence shot over his face as he took in the situation. The pro- cession turned and marched again with slow and solemn tread past the flaming lignts, and Perry, seeing that the wake was for his beuefi, and re- solving not to get entirely “left”, in the true spirit of solemnity, dropped his head instantly upon his breast, and walking slowly up to his bunk, took of his hat in the most humble ‘manner possible; and hung it upon the nozzle of the jug, : In another instant he had sprung over the lights and wag sitting in the center of his couch, his legs twined about the stone oc- cupant, which he drew affectionately to him, and with a mock gravity which it is impossible to describe awaited the proceedings silent as a oranted for. their exhibits at the Fair *0% it & Dn Ax exact fac simile of the San Louis Ray Mission, perhaps the finest and most gsle- brated of all the famed old mission ruins in Southern California, will be szen ab tha World's Fair. » IT is reported that King Alexander, of Servia, has decided to visit the World's Fair next year.
