Twenty Roman Catholic Bishops have gone

The Baptists OF Virginia have resolved to

There are but three ministers in the City OF

At Bryan. Texas, they were so anxious to
build church that one man gave hundred
days labor with his own hands, another seventy
five, and another, having but one hand and one
eye, assisted in such service as he could render.
OF course. they succeeded.
The Rev. Dr.. Vernon writes that Father Ga
yazz, in fixing the number Of the Free Church OF
Italy at ten thousand, is entirely too high. The
four Protestant churches-the Waldenses, the
Free Church, the Methodists, and the Baptists-
do not altogether number more than four thou
sand members.
in the Episcopal dioceses Of the thirteen
Southern States the gain in ten years, ending
with 1871, was from $4,000 to $4,000; little
more than 38 per cent. The greatest gain was
in the State OF Texas, from 700 to 1900 commu-
nicants nearly 800 per cent The only loss was
in South Carolina, Of 1924 out Of 5,672 conmn-
nicants; or nearly So per cent.
The Synod Of the Presbyterian Church IN
Northern Iowa has passed resolutions declaring
that the action of the last Legislature in abol-

and recommending to all Christian people that
petitions be circulated looking to the restoration
Of the law as it formerly WAS.
One fourth Of the wealth Of the Presbyte-

AT the late session Of the Ohio Methodist
Conference, it was stated at the missionary meet

All men we'll interrogated answer we'll
Defeat is school in which truth always

The secret Of firing is to say everything
that can be said on subject
Fear follows crime, and is its punishment.
-Cowards die many times before their death !;
the valiant tastes of death but once.
There is transcendent power in example.
We reform others unconsciously when ne WALK

The childhood shows the man, IS morning

The bulk of mankind are mere imitators OF
poor originals.
He las not learned the Lesson Of life who

He who tells a lie is not sensible no" great
. task he undertakes, for he must be forced to
invent twenty more to maintain one.
Love never reasoos, but profusely gives !;
gives, like q thoughtless prodignl, its all, and
trembles then lest it has done too little:
-Mistrust the man who finds everything, good,
more the man who is Indifferent to everything.
Men are sometimes accused OF pride merely
because their accusers would be proud them
selves were they in their places.
TO worship rightly is to love each other,
each smile hymn, each kindly deed prayer.
AS soon rs true thoaght mas entesea our

Let this great maxim be my virtues guide;
In part she is to blane that has been tried;
Hecomes too near that comes to be denied.
If we would build on {. sure foundation in
friendship, we must love our friends for their
sakes rather than for our own.
Good is positive. Evil is merely prlvatlve'

ton Of hest. ALI evil ia so much death or nonen-

saving that, so far as have observed IN life. ten
men have failed from defect in morals, where
one has failed from defect in intellect.
1t is not when life is an enjoyment, 1t IL
when it il a burden that it becomes our duty to
live.
The most exquisite Of all kinds Of suicide
only takes place IN the souls Of the elect. Mon
Of extremely delicate feelings have some idea tc
which they cling with an unapeakabe yearni5ng II g

WHY TRUTH GOES NAKED.

List to tale well worth the ear
OF all who wit and sense admire;
Invented-itis Is very clear
Some ages prior to Matthew Prior
Falsehood and Truth, upon time,"
One day in June-delicious weather,
CTwas In distant age and clime),
Like sisters, took walk together.
On, On their merry way they took,
Through fragrant wood and verdAnt meadow
To where beech beside brook
Invited rest beneath its shadow.
There, sitting in the pleasant shade,
Upon the margins grassy mating,
a velvet cushion ready noade},
The young companions fell to chatting.
Now while IN voluble discourse.
On this and that their tongues were running,
As habit bids each Bpeak-perforce,
The one il frank; the other cunning.
Falsehood, at length impatient grown
With scandals Of her own creation,
Said. "Since We two are quite alone,
And nicely screened from observat1ons
Suppose in this delightful rill,
While all around is 80 propltlous,
We take bath "-Said Truth. 90 will
Abath, I'm sure, will be delicious!"
Atthis her robe she cast aside,
And In the stream that ran before her
She plunRed-like Oceans happy bride
AS naked as her mother bore her!
Fa1ehood at leisure now undressed,
Put of the robes her limbs that hamperj
And, having donncd Truths SNOWY vest,
Ran off as fast as she could scampef.
Since then, the subtle maid, IN sooth,
Expert IN lies and shrewd evssions,
Has borne the honest name Of Truth,
And wears her clothes On Ill occaEc-H,
While Truth, disdaining to appear
In FaIsehood8 3 petticoat and bodice,
Still brayes all eyes from year to year,
As naked as marble goddess!

advancing. prices creeping up fully S0@35c per
100 Tbs, or to S4.40@4.75. The advance WAS not
yesterday and to-day causing q sharp reaction.
The demand was almost exclusively on Eastern
account, the limited supply and the mild weather
| prevalent preventing operations on the part Of
packers. Most Of our packers are now ready
Tor active business, and, as soon as the weather
will. justify it, the work of packing will
begin in good earnest. Reports from
| the producing districts are tc
the effect that the number being fed is unusually
large, and that the quality is generally above the
average at this season Of the year. Among deal
ers the opinion seems to pretty generally prevail
that the hogs marketed during the first half o1
| the packing season will command better pricet
than those sent in later; this belief being basee
on the anpposition that the abundance and =. 10y
prices of corn will induce feeders to hold thei1
| hogs to o later period than in former seasons

CATTLE-In comparison with the preceding
| two or three weeks. there are no important
cattle market. The receipts have been moderate,
| but in the absence Of anything Like activity in
the demand from any source, the supply proved
excessive, and prices ruled weak and unsettled
from the opening to the close. The Eastern
markets are still being largely supplied from
Kentucky, Ohio, Pennsylvsnia, and Indiana, and
prices there are so low that there is really no
margin for shippers to work upon,
and their purchases during the past
week do not aggregate 5000 head. With
this class Of buyers virtually out OF
| the market, sellers have been bothered
not little to dispose Of natiye cattle, and light
as VAS the supply Of desirable shipping grades,
| values have suffered further depreciation.
| Texas cattle met with fair inquiry from pack
ers, feeders, and local butchers, and although
these foreign cattle comprised the bulk Of the
weeks supply, they commanded, relatively, bet
ter prices than native stock, the pens being
kept well cleared at $2.00@3.00 for through
droyes, and at S3.25@4.50 for good to
choice Northern-wintered. The demand for
stockers has fallen of some, but
the inquiry is still fair and common to good
droves are salable at S2.60@4.00. Veal calves
remain steady at about last weeks prices, OF at
