than they could in any other part of the
country Are there not many nen Of age

terest of which they are anxious to promote.

Gambling for a Grave.

A correspondent of the Boston Mail says
that few years since, when the yellow fe-
yer was raging fearfuily in Florida, mana
ger Forbes, with his theatrical company.
was performing in the town of Apalachi-
cola, and the business of the theatre was Of
course ruined. Many of the performers
were stricken down. There;were two of the
number whose cases were considered hope
less, after their admission to the hospital.
The grounds of that institution at that time
were cut up fsT graves; and our two actors
having become convalescent, were allowed
to walk through the cemetery, for such had
the grounds become. Mound after mound
met their view, the newly turned earth tell
ing of recently inhumed victim Of the
scourge At last, two unoccupied graves
were before them. They were dug very
near each other, yet over one only swayed
a large willow, giving a mournfuIly pictur-
esque appearance to the spot. The two
friends were conversing together over the
grim habitatioRs, when singular as it may
appear. \ relapse occurred to each. They
became as it were delirious, and both claim
ed the grave under the willows. High
words ensued, but the sudden quarrel was
stayed by proposal from one Of the party
to go within the hospital and play game

winner to be allowed the use OF the narrow
Amid the raging Of their fever
heated brains the game was played. The pro-
poser Of the game won the stake, and the
next morning his lifrless body was laid be-
Meath the willow. The loser at that time
is yet participant in the game of life.

Texan frontier, or any where else on the
southwestern side of the national domain,
and journey toward the North and East,

one after another, in as regular succession
as the steps Of ladder;
|. Farms regularly diminish IN size, and
increase in number. as we proceed from the
South to the North and East.
2. The proportion Of improved land
steadily increases, and that of unimproved
land steadily diminishes, irrespective Of
the density OF the population, as weproceed
from South to North and East.
3. The cash value of farms, both in the
aggregate and the price per acre. regularly
increases, as We proceed from South 10
North and East.
4. The production OF corn and whea,
regularly and steadily increases. without
an exception, as We proceed from South to
North and East.
5. The productive industry OF the people,

FARMrRs.-Adam was farmer while yet
in Paradise. and after his fall, commanded
to earn his bread by the sweat OF his brow
Job. the honest, upright and patient, was
a farmer, and his endurance has passed into

Socrates was farmer. and yet welded

Chastity IN Roman Catholic Countries.

Facts and statistics speak lou Ter than the
best constructed arguments. With them
we now have TO deal. In Brussels, Ro-
man Catholic city of Belgium, the number
of Illigtlmate births averages twenty-five
in every one hundred. In Popish Munich.
the capital of Bavaria, they react, for,y.eigh,
in every hundred, or nearly one half In
Vienna. during the year 1919. there were
10, 2il births. of which 1860 were ILL
gi,lmate, or considerably more than one
half. In Rome ilseIf the city Of the church.
the annual average of births is Abb. Of
which 3.l69, or nearly three fuurihs, are
exposed as foundlines. 1t appears, there
fore. that the nearer We approach the grand
centre Of this religious system. the greater
becomes the amount Of iilegiiimacy
They are statistical facts. whose accuracy
cann", be questioned, or which il doubted.
can be proved. On the contrary, in the
PIotesian, city of London, with its popuIa.
tim oil nearly TWO and a half millions of
souls, the number of illigiiimate birth an
nually averages but four on, of every hun
dred. The differences from these facts are
| as plain as the facts themselves. The vow
| OF celibacy taken by the priesthood of the
Popish church does not practically involve
that OF chastity. and the example thus set
by their Supporters is faithfully initiated by
| lis laiiy. lndulgencss and dispensaiions
are freely sod aud purchased, under which
| the seventh commandment is violated with
impuni'y. Under the very eye of the Pope
himself, its prercp,s are The most extensive
