"A gentleman connected with Grace
Church, in this city, of which the Rev.
DR.. Henry c. Potter is rector, gives us
some extraordinary figures connected
with that parish. During the year 1873
there was contributed for the religious
and benevolent purposes of the parish
$215 ,31422, and the collection at Easter
was about S27 900 In addition to this
and to the usual annual contributions
for parish works, Grace Church has dur
ing the past five years contributed over
$500, 900 for objects outside of its own
parish. 1t is doubtful if any single con-
gregation in the world can show such
munificent gifts during similar period;
and this, we believe, is the first time any
allusion has been made to the fact either
in the religious or secular press. In 1873
the contributions of Trinity parish, the
wealthiest parish in America, including
the parent church and its five chapels,
were $57, 1861; but of this $21 ,470 was
an appropriation by the vestry from the
income of the real estate owned by the
parish, leaving the actual contribution
of the parishioners at S36, 900. The con-
tributions of other leading Episcopal
churches in 1878 were: st. Thomas,
SIS, 900; Calvary, $71 600: st. Georges,
$50 900; Atonement (Rev. Mr.. Sabine's),
SIS, 000.-Horper's Weekly.

The Flower Mission.

THE wide success of this aesthetic charity
in Boston, in the brain of whose daugh-
tiers the plan originated, and its equal sue
cess in New York and other cities, where
it is more recent experiment, lead all
its friends to hope that its beneticence
may be carried to every part OF the
country. Its simple requirements-a
depot'of arrangement and distribution
generally convenient church-vestry), a
few willing hands and abundant contrl-
buttons of flowers-ought to be easily
obtainable in any town in the land.
A feeling is prevalent that the mission
is needed only in the larger centers; but
while their need is greatest, the smaller
towns and even the villages ought not to
be neglected. Manufacturing companies
especially want them, for mill operatives
and factory hands are generally farthest
removed from refining influences. To
the girls confined in the sitting atmos-
phere of the weaving and carding rooms
of cotton and wooden mills the gift of a
few flowers, though they die in an hour,
is as boon from Heaven.
In many of the missions point is
made of distributing fruit, when it can
be obtained, to poor, sick people; and
the delighted gratitude of the recipients
is one of the most touching features OF
the charming charity. Pathetic stories
are told of the regeneration of spirit
which has been wrought in the wretched
beings to whom growing plants and slips
have been given, and who, perhaps for
the first time in their lives, have been
brought into direct contact with those
blooming messengers of goodwill.
If excuse or reason be needed for the
establishment of flower and fruit
mission, it exists in the melancholy at
tempts at window gardening, always to
be seen even in the most miserable
quarters. These tell their pitiful tale of
the longing for and love of Nature which
poverty squalor and crime cannot quite
crush out.
To establish the flower charity in con-
nection with the beneficent societies
mentioned in the last Scribner would be
the easiest thing in the world. Let it be
organized in every church in the land !;
let the sweetest offerings of Nature be
brought to those who cannot seek them
for themselves.-Scribner's HOnthIy for
Juiy.

wrote letter to the Commissary, declar-

turning All were fastened together
with ropes, and the bride set out, leaning

down a crevasse covered with a slight
layer of frozen snow The rope by
which they were connected with the
others broke and they were seen no
more. The bodies were not recovered.

Take courage, my lad. What if you

a poor, neglected orphan--a scott and

who despise virtue in rags because of

you a virtuous aim, pure desire and an
honest heart? Depend upon it, some of
these days you will be wanted. The
time may be long deferred Won NAV be

A Railroad Scene.

"BURLEIGH" writes from Washington
to the Boston J0uTnat: An amusing in
cident occurred the other day on one Of
the trains from Boston to this city. The
cars were very crowded An elegantly
dressed woman occupied an entire seat.
Her bundles, bandbox and bag were
piled artistically. She was obliviOus to
the fact that passengers were rushing
back and forth to obtain sittings. More
than one gentleman drew himself up in
front of the imperious dame, and silently
pleaded for the vacant spot She famed
herself leisurely, lolled in the seat, and
evidently thought things were very com

on In half an hour the door opened
and in walked tall, rough fellow, coarse
as Polar bear His huge beard was UNI
combed and stained with tobacco juice.
His clothes were i'll put on and smelt of
the stables. He was ungloved and brawny,
and weighed fully two hundred. He ran
his eye along the car, and caught the seat
in which our lady was sitting. He made
for it. With great deliberation he seized
bundle, bandbox and bag, put them
plump into the lap OF the lady, and sat
down in the vacant spot like one who in
tended to stay. If looks could have an
initiated a man there would have been
a corpse in that car about that time. The
man seemed very much at home. He
whistled; he spit; he stroked his beard /;
he threw around his huge arms and
chuckled inwardly at the evident rage Of
the woman. She left the cars at New
Haven, and had hardly gone before the
gentleman who was refused the seat re-
appeared. To some gentleman who
seemed to take great interest in the
proceedings he said: Did you see how
that woman treated me?" Yes" Did

Says Mr.. Beecher, in the Christian
Union s. No greater mistake is possible
to a minister than to misunderstood the
wants of those with whom he has to deal.
That he breaches the truth will not save
him from utter failure unless he breaches
that truth which his hearers need. 1T a
doctor misunderstands his patients symp-

does not mend the matter at all that the
medicine is good of its kind. The re-

Bright in the early morning
His brown eyes open wide,
And there's never "A wink more slumber
To be thought of at his side.
Awake from his hair all a-tumble
To the tips of his springing toes
Into his clothes he dances,
And down TO his breakfast goes.
Then out with his little barrow
And where, oh! where is his spadeS
To-day his corn must be planted,
And all Of his garden made.
Don't speak to him-proud young farmer,
Half lost in his big straw hat
lfyou dare to suggest an GRAND,
Not minute has he for thatl
Ten minutes, and Where is my hammer
And nails !-drate big uns,n he calls.
Lol his garden il turned to a cellar,
And now he must put up his walls!
What you, my brave young farmer?
Oh no, m builder now,
build big barns and houses;
Come out and I'll show You how"
Soon, starting he hears the oxen
Dragging the big hay-cart;
And, houses and barns forgotten,
Away he fees like dart.
PLEASE, Hugh, let me be driver;
I'll keep right here by the side
So, whip on his shoulder, he marches
With more than a soldiers pride.
Now back, calling Mamma, mamma,
Here's 'tunnin' hop-stool for you;
Twas growing close up by the fountain

So hour after hour, through the daytime,
He works and plays with a will;
