RELIGIOUS AND EDUCATIONAL.

AT present about 10000 children in
the schools of New York are studying
German
There are thirty-eight agricultural
colleges in this country, employing alto.
gether $50 professors and assistants, and
instructing 3,917 students.
1t is stated that 20, 900 Alaska Indians
living along the coast are asking for
ministers and teachers, and offer to build
churches and school houses at their own
expense.
The Presbyterian Synod of North
Carolina has, in forty-seven years, in
creased from forty-tive to ninety-four
ministers, from 112 to 206 churches and
from 6,052 to 15,4 53 communicates.
Bishop M'Tyeire enforces the i'm
portance of reverence in the Sunday
school with the remark of Nine. Nccker:
Religion will never assume its most sa-
cred aspect to young people unless the
very teaching of it is mode of wor-
ship"
A class of tifty.nine colored adults
were confirmed by Bishop Gross, in st.
Ga, and six colored women received the
the same time. They become Sisters Of
st. Joseph's.
There are 400 religious journals in
the United States. The Methodists have
AZ, the largest number; then come the
Catholics, who number Al; the Baptists,
IS; the Presbyterians, 80; the Episcopa-
lians, 81; Lutherans, IA; German Re-
formed, IA; Jews, 8, and Congregational
lists, 8.
The contributions Of Lafayette Ave
nue. Church, Brooklyn, for religious and
benevolent objects during the last fifteen
years have amounted to $233,900. For
sustaining their own church they have
raised $264, 500. Two other church or
CARNATIONS have gone out from them
within the same period.
The revival at San Francisco still
progresses with undated interest. More
than 1900 names have been subscribed
to the covenant, many of them young
men just entering active life. At re-
cent converts, meeting 500 were present
and took part. In addition to the regu-
lar church services outdoor meetings are
frequently held; jails and Other public
institutions are visited, and the whole
city seems moved.
The whole number of children in the
public schools of New Hampshire in
| 1874 was about COLTS. The average
number was 47,275. There is decrease
since 1850 of about 10000 in the whole
I number. The amount of money raised
by taxation for the support of schools in
the State in 1874 was more than double
| that raised at the former date. The an
nual reports seem to show that children
| are taken from school at an earlier age
than formerly, and that this evil is in
creasing year by year.
The matter of making the eldership
rotary in the Presbyterian Church. in
stead of a life-service, may be considered
as settled. The Presbyterians are send
ing their answers overwhelmingly in
favor of it. Already many of the churches
have arranged their elderships on the TO-
tary plan, and it has been found to
work well. The old plan had its merits,
but was open to the objection that elders
| would in the course of time become SO
aged as to be little better than monu-
ments of services performed in past
| wears.

ROBERTS WIFE.
Ely 7. ANNIE FROST.

81 am so sorry about Uncle James"
There was real sorrow in Robert
Franklin's voice and eyes as he spoke,
ana the lady who listened drew her
merry, saucy face into dolorous FUCKERS
to suit the occasion.
Because, you see" continued Robert,
che fancies because you have $4,000
that you are a fine lady, affected and
useless, not the wife for poor farmer"
1--WE must show him his mistake"
was the reply.
but he will not see you. He posi-
lively forbids your coming over to the
farm"
"Does--does he know we are married."
81 have not dared to tell him. Cow
ardly, is it not? But he is my only rela-
tive, and love him dearly. 1t is not be-
cause he owns the farm and can leave a
little money, Daisy -"
Hush, love, l know" Daisy answered,
putting a soft, white hand over her hus-
bands lips.
Il have had no other father, or mother
either, for that matter, in all my life,"
continued Robert, land if the farm is
dreary, it is home"
And you do not like to be banishe d,
Wen, if you will keep your promise and
send Jane over to see me you shall not
be. Now talk of something else. Oh,
how can l let you go for two long
months!n
For Robert Franklin had undertaken
10 60 in person to see about some West
ern lands in which his uncle had invest
ed, and which threatened to involve him
IN loss. Daisy could not well take the
long journey, and besides Daisy had
other schemes in her wise little head.
Loving Robert well, she resolved TO re-
move the only shadow from his life-the
reSolute opposition of his uncle to fine,
lady wife.

Somerset PhiIharmonic Society.

When Sir Walter Scott was asked for a
subscription for the sufferers in the
Peninsula, instead o drawing the money
from his banker he drew upon his powers
of song and gave the world a poem for
which the sufferers realized $500. Bv
this means he aided charity to an ex-
tent otherwise impossible, and made the
world richer by another gem to be set
at last in his own coronet. Music has
charms for almost every one, and hence
concerts, operas and cantatas are profita-
bic almost everywhere. But even the
gifted singers merely delight for the
time. The sweet song dies away and
only the memory remains. But the
teacher of music who can take untrain-
ed voices and develop them so as to give
a good concert deserves the gratitude of
the community. He leaves behind him
the power his skill has created. These
reflections were called up by visiting
Yost's Hall, where Prof. Stebbins Of Cir
cleville is trainings a class of young peo-
pie for a concert next Wednesday night.
The drill he is giving those forty or fifty
voices cannot fail to leave our village
richer in the power of social and sacred
song. Through this impulse Phil
harmonic Society is being organized to
continue the good work of training in
vocal music. ! was especially pleased
with the care to promote natural breath
ing, distinctness of articulation and to
prevent monotony In tone or tagging in
time. Not only has be excellent mater
ial to work on but believe he will be
able to give such an evening of
song-sncred, social and humorous. as
will please every lover of good music.
