Bishop Anes and Necspapers--In his
address to the conference. just before reading
out the appointments. Bishop Ames alluded
to the various methods By which an itineraDt
preacher might render himself useful, among
others he spoke of circulating newspapers as
an important means Of doing good. In bis
first circuit, some thirty years ago, he had
been very active in this direction. and he said
he gave to his members as a reason that they
should take newspapers, that be had expert
ence as school teacher. aud that 1t was his
deliberate opinion that two dollars spent for a
good newspaper was of more value as an ed
ucator iu the family than ten dollars paid to
a schoolmaster for tuition. ''And, remark
ed the Bishop, "thirty years" observation
has but confirmed that opinion.

TEE WIND.

The wind is bachelor,
Merry and free;
He roves at his pleasure
O'er land and DER sea;
He ruff1es the lake
And kisses the flower,
And he sleeps where he lists
In jessamine bower.
He gives to the cheek
OF the maiden its bloom;
He tastes her warm kisses,
Enjoys the perfume,
But truant Ike, often
The sweets that he sips
Are lavished next moment
On lovelier lips.
