SITTING IN CHURCH.-An American writes
from London that in the churches there, who
ever comes first, whether gentleman or lady,
takes the further end in the slip, and those that
follow, fill up the remaining seats, and thus
prevent tho awkward disturbance which occurs
In our churches here, in the process of filing in
and out by men in order to isolate women at
the further end of the pew. In churches where
the pews are free, the awkwardness and incon-
yenience OccasiODcd 10 ladies' by the first COM
ers taking the aisle end of the pew is even
greater. many of those who obtain that seat
persist in sitting still and making those who
wish to get into the pew climb over them. no
very easy or modest undertaking, especially if
the crinoline Of the lady be at all fashionable
1t Is not the one who does the climbing, how
ever, but the one who persists in sitting still
chat is to be censured for this breach of courte-
sy. IL is said that the habit of gentlemen
taking the aisle end of the pew originated with
the early settlers, who sat near the doors of the
pews so that in case Of an attack by the Indians
they might be ready for action, This will ac-
count for the prevailing fashion of gentlemen
occupying the door end ef the pew but we have
no authority for the custom of ladies' occupy
ing that position As there is no longer any
danger of attacks from Indians, we think this
custom of filing out and in like parcel of SOL
dierS, on the part of gentlemen, might well be
changed, and we hope that the English custom
may be adopted by the ladies.
