Fron the text, " ('an twu walk together except they be agreed t " he preached a farewell. The folloarinsj is that part nut directly bearing on their local troubles, which will interest the reader. Mr. Keed is an independent man. We never sec perfect men, women and children except in dreams. Wo never read of them except in novels, which are written dreams. They are nil such ns dreams are made of, and vanish in the thining of the every day sun. Kven the chosen people arc wicke I enough to mourn. Kven Moses, meek and patient, is weak enough to be angry. The ideal ehurch is composed of sinless beings fitly joined together in heart and mind; loving the saase thinp, and 1 lieving thc same thinirs : one in thousht aud deed, with Christ and with one another. Tho ideal minister is nn intellectual saint, in whom is no fault ; whose ways arc perfeet. Wiser than any serpent, more hariules5 than any dove. The ideal minister is alwas looking for such a church. The ideal church is always Ijokin g for such a minister. On cither side it ifl a vain looking. The t'reaa'jre on earth is carried about in earthen vessels, and in an awkward human fashion. Always has been ; will for some time be. Unti? ministers aud churches are born, and not mL.de, they will fail tobe perfect. They may atr,ree to walk together ; they may agree not to find fault with route or step; but without scmo com promise, there can be no joint journey. A minister is one, a church h many. How can there be perfect harmony where ilifferinL' men insist each oq his own way.

Tt lvnon. ma in 11 !! Tk. im I ") I w mmm mm iy WW aav occasion for any surprise or even wonder at thc occurrence of eo common an event. My idea of a minister and a minister's business is very definite aud decided, and , differs widely from the ideas of some to I whom I have had the pleasure of preneh-1 ing the lat year. First As to what be should preach ? Of course the truth, anv truth, and all truth. As to who is to be the jndge of ihm troth. T ttm frpQ to W himlf , - j mnstbe. A minister most be mor. thaoiC a parrot, üble to repeat a form of w rds. lie is to think his own thought, and u'tei it in liia nwn 1 Oi'.nmu, .Ut ot ' rraons of the dead might dispense with lire preaching. And, beside, a nbistey ought to be more than nn echo of the ! ws If they know what he is eoins to i v a t 3 i . , i . .. v T ay, why say it? Unless lie can tell them something, why speak ? lie is a BBcsecBger. Why, if he has no message ? I know of nothins fo nn worths as to C. i I eansasa a congregation through thc week for opinions to hand beckon Sunday. y doing it, a man may get a reputation for being sound and orthodox ; but what becomes of him 7 If he is to consult his hearers about whnt lie is "to preach, how many (f them, and which ones '! Aud, if they should not happen to agree, what will be do? A minister is ordained to preach, and not the congregation. The idea of any indisidnal setting up a standard of orthodoxy, and warping every other individual to it. may be realized for i few brief fears in Home, but never for minute in America. There are only two lair ways of treating a sermon er any speech. One is to admit troth of it, and the other is to refute the error of it. Tiie third and unfair way is the way ot the iaqn&itioa deny the argument thai eannot be answered, pnsh it aside, spit on it, and bum the preacher. We have done away with the burning, hat retain the balance of I he method. One of these aareaaoneis beats something be did not know; and, if it is something ho does n t like, he finds it easier to call it heresy than to disprove it. It is easy to misrepresent a sermon. It takes little talent. It is easy to rick out bits oi mW M sentenees and sew them together, and make a ridiculous patchwork, asd exhibit as specimen ef the original piece; it is as casv as lying. 1 have come to thc last sermon. I base preached here a year. I have neyer said anything tint I did not think was the trnth. I base girea it to yon just us it seemed to nie. I am not presumptuous i sough to suppose that there has been no mistake made. Any minister who is human has a right to make mistakes. lie is tj take e:;ie that they be mistakes and uot Wit, The truth u not so tender a thing that it will not bear handling. It needs it as gold iu the mine before it comes, to light That is the way truth comes to us, a litth.old to a good deal of san l. The idea that wc must be patting out our hands to steady the ark of the Lord over rough places is a profane one. The truth will hear an 1 journey. .No sincere .careher can ever harm it j no sincere Bcrmou is able to pervert it. 1 ae minister of the. e days' is no an oraele:heta sincere thinker, tellina hU thoughts to Others, hoping that they will receive them if they are tine; and because they are true, and not beeaucf ho fc;i them; honing, ahm, that if they arc not true, they will be refuted. 4 If I pay the truth why do "U not believe me?M The days when men wcie expected to swallow an untruth because a Driest said it are happily past. The pulpit has come dowD to a desk. The minister is a man on a level with other men -and depends on reason and meditation for the success of his sermon, and UOt 0W authority of the eh arch and brute force. He is a man, and not a monk and as such is entitled to no extra favors and no extra frowns and has a light to do and say anything that anybody has a right to door sny; among other things he has a rLht tii attend to his own bnniaess in his own w;iy. The injunction of Paul to Titus was, u hct no man despise thee."

' tiot1' ant 'et General (Iraut and all the I other military commanders kuow that they arc not to encroach upon the rights and j ririlegea of the peaceful loyal citizens of this eonntry. Päse the resolution, and the example will be of thc greattst importance, particularly at this time, when thc constitutional rights of the citizens are being stricken down and trodden under foot throughout theeutire country by the executive and military power! We have submitted already too long and tamely to ihe encroachments of thc military upon r8Bta ciitaen. Many of these Jews expcilcd from Padueah were known to me many years as highly honorable and loyal cii incus. This order expels tl I i as a elasa from tho entire depart.1 nient, and prevents thorn having a pass to approach his person to ask a redress of grievances. General Grant might j oat as well expel the Baptist), or the Methodists or tb Episcopalians, or thc Catholics, as to expel the dews. All arc alike protected in the enj -yme:t of their religion by cm titutiou of our eonnti v. Thev m inoffllw citizens; and it is set forth " mf in k ers that 1 have before me, that two . fthi Jens who were expelled had served ihre months in the army of tho United States in defense of the Union. There is no excuse for General Grant for issuing the order. It may be said that o.me Jew.i in his department hud bien guilty of illegal traffic. It so, eiq.el them. do not wbh to shield a Jew or a Gentile from just punishment for the infraetionof low. Qe should have directcd his order to the offenders, and should have punished them ; but, sir, so far from doing that, he punishes a whole people, as a class j without specific charge, hearing, or trial, he drives out. inoffensive, loyal people, men, women and children, from a city far distant from bis beadquartere, without giving them tho least opportunity to meet and repel charges that might be brought against them. Such conduct is utterly indefensible. I regret thai General Grant issued such an order. General Grant's conduct heretofore aj a soldier has been that of a bravo and gallant officer ; he has fought well on many field.-; for that 1 commend him. Put while I commend him for his gallant conduet I must censure him for this most illegal rod ttroeioui order. Jt ii inbumsn

and monstrous. It would he unworthy of the most despotic government in the most

despotic period of the world's history. Sir, we should rebuke such conduct. I regret that some other less meritorious officer had not issued this order. I regret that General Grant ha3 issu it; but, sir, we owe it to ourselves, we owe it ' I ' to the civil and religious liberty of the citizen to put our condemnation upon it.

I believed him to the full extent of my abilit I never drunk but throe glasses ov lager in mi life, and that, made mi hed OUtwiat as tho it was hung on thc end of l.T all. la. a string, but I was told that it was owin C tj 1 1 t IJ U UVi X. .WS-A V lilt I IV if U O "J II II to my bile beiu out ov place; and I gues.that it was so. for I never biled orer wus than I did when I got hum that nite.

Olhow sick i wuz: 14 years ago, and i ean taste it now. 1 never had so much experience in q short a time.

If i waa't drunk that nite, I had some ov the most eternal simtums that a man ever ha I and kept :. 1 . - In the hrst place it was about SO rod from where i drunk the lager beer to rni house, and i was over two hours on the road, and a hole busted through each one of my pantaloon noes, and didn't have any hat, and tried to open the door by the hell; an 1 hiccupping aWfully, and saw everything in the room trying to get round on thc back fide of me; and in setting down on a chair, i didn't wait lone enough for it to get exa tly under me when it was going round, aud i sat down a little B Q and mis a 1 the chair about 12 inches, and couldn't get up soon enough to take the next one that come along ; aud that ain't all ; my wife scd i wuz drunk as a boost, and az i said befoie, I began to spin up thiugs freely.
