not as full as they might be made had
the time to make further investigation.
They viii show, however, that religion
IN this city pays bstter than any otht I
profession, If except law and perhaps
civil engineering. Ministers generally
grow rich, or at least acquire property,
while the poor Journalist, on $50 or $50
per week, usually dies and leaves pow
etry and a good name as the only legacy
for his children.-&. Louis GI0be's
