THE SMALLEST CHURCH IN ENGLAND
Watsdsle, little parish in England, has
the smallest church in England, and it is a
very diminNtive affair. 1t has bat eight
pews, and yet is capable OF accommodating
double tho population of the district. The
rector opens the church himself and rings
the bell. Then he dens his ecclesiastical
robes in the presence Of his congregation.
There is no musical instrument in the church
and the minister leads the singing. His SER
mons are very short-a recent one occupying
only seven and half minutes in its deliy.
cry. Two services are held every Sunday,
and this rector, clerk, preeentor, sexton,
bell-ringer, and church warden, all combined
in one, receives for the performance Of his
varied duties the modest little salary Of
about $780,
La comparison with this item Of salary the
income Of the Bishop of Rochester, who has
just been appointed to the new See of ST.
Albans, looks mountainous. II amounts To-
$4,000.

DEAD.

"she is dead" they said to him. "Come away;
Kiss her and leave her-thy love Is clay"
They smoothed her tresses OF dark brown hair;
On her forehead OF stone they laid 1t fair
over the eyes which pazed too much,
They drew the lids with gentle touch;
With tender touch they closed up the well
The sweet, thin lips that had secrets to tell
About her brown and beautiful face,
They tied her veil and her marriage lace.
And drew on her white feet the white silk shoes,
Which were the whltest, no eye could choose!
And over her bosom they crossed her hands
"Come away they said, "God understands !"
And there was silence, and nothing there
But silence, and scents OF eglantere,
And jasmine and roses and rosemary,
And they said, "as lady should lie, lies sbe"
And they held their breath as they left the room
With shudder, to glance ut its stiffness and
gloom.
And he who loved her too well to dread
The sweet, the stately and beautiful dead
He lit his lamp and took his key
And turned 1t. Alone agaln-he and she.

Though he kissed, In the old place, the qule

Though he called her the name she loved err

IS SAMUEL J. TlLDEN A REFORMER?
Testimony of the "New York Times"
CHAPTER ii.

WAS MR.. TILDEN a SHAM REFORMER?
The Convention over, and Mr. Tilden re-
turned to the city, to resume the arduous
and delicate work of examining the books of
the Broadway Bank, where the accounts of
Tweed, Gayey, Ingersoll and the other plum
derers were kept. On October 18th, 1871, ,
the Times published the following:-
Mr.. Samuel j. Tilden, on behalf of the
Committee of Seventy, has concluded his
examination of the books of the bank in
reference to the City's accounts and is now
engaged in the preparation of his report
thereon. The publication of this report will
be looked forward to by the public with ca
gerness, and by the thieves Of tie Ring with
fear. There have been grave difficulties to
overcome in the tracing of the stolen money.
The bills, certificates and vouchers in the
Controllers Office have been found apparent
ly all right, and it was left to the books of
the Rings Bank to find and fasten the men
who have prOlited by the losses OF the city.
The forthcoming report Of Mr.. Tilden will
settle this, will set this and many other mat
ters straight, and it is possible that the golden
circle will find it necessary to devote more
time hereafter to their own salvation and less
to the annoyance of the Deputy Controller.
MORE FROM THE SAME SOURCE.
Again, ON October 26, 1871, the Times re-
ferred to the man it now calls "a wrecker Of
railroads" thus
If anything can arouse the New Yoyk
public to that pitch of indignation which
alone becomes them in the present crisis, il
is tho accounts which we publish to-day
Here we have, thanks 10 tie IaJors Of Mr..
Samuel j. Tilden, full and conclusive evil
dence that William M. Tweed differs only
from a common thief in having stolen tens
of thousands instead of tens of dollars. q
u We refer to the affidavit of Mr.. Tilden
Cor detailed account of how the disposal Of
tho money was traced.

The Darlington HnOLeye says: "A Glou-

with line thirty iathoms long, provided
with four hooks, which are baited with 'por.

down in Gloucester, where people are.,'t

many Goldfish sSaying from the grocery avn

and lines, You don't catch Goldfish, you buy
them, iust like maekerel."

The First American Coin.

Wampum-that is, strings Of shells ground
down SO that each piece was about the size
of grain of corn was used by the Indians
for ornament and for barter. The early col
onists, through trading with the Indians,
| became accustomed to this article, and used
| 1t to some extent among themselves. But as
it would not be taken by the merchants in
Europe for goods ordered from them, me-
tallic currency was then demanded.
In 1862, therefore, the General Court of
Massachusetts issued at Boston some silver
pieces of the value of twelve and OF six En-
glish pennies each. These coins were mere
ly round, fiat pieces of silver, with IN. E"
New England) on the one side, and the
value, XII, VI, on the other. The frugal
authorities wasted no money on engraving,
not even announcing the year in which the
coins were issued.
This coinage was, however, so dstasteful,
because of the absence OF any design, that
another series was at once issued, on some
of which is a scraggy oak-tree, inclosed in
circle Of dots, outside of which are the
words MA achusets, in" while round the
edge on the reverse is the remainder of the
legendl "New England, An; DOM" On
this reverse is the date 1862, in the center,
with the numeral of value XII, VI, Ill,
H., below it, On Others of this design is a
| pine tree and while of both of these designs
occasional issues took place during nearly
thirty years, yet ths date 1862 is:the only
| one used.
Charles the Second, it is said regarded
his coinage of the colony as an encroach-
ment on his prerogative We believe, how
ever, that his dislike was overcome by the
statement that the design was memorial
OF the famous oak-tree hiding place of his

she inquired:

Perfectly fresh, are theyf
'Indeed they are"
"No worms in them?"
"Not a worm"
"Full weight, are they ?"
''Full weight, madame"
'Sweet, are they?"
II warrant then sweet"
"No pits in them?"
'Not pit"
"And prize package with every pound %
she asked after pause.
"Yes, madame"
Sand chrome too ?" l-.r
"Yes, and a chrome, too" ..sr
She nibbled at prune, knit her brow and
finally asked;
Don't you give cash premium with
every pound you sell? ?" s.-
I'VE do, madame; you pay ten cents for a
pound of prunes, and get chrome, a prize
package, and cash premium Of fifty cents.
Shall do you up pound ?" r- .H
swell, it seems as if you wanted to be
fair with your customers, "she slowly replied;
but guess won't take any. Seems to
me ten cents per pound is rather too much
for prunes these times, when butter is down
and calico is down, and shoes are awful
cheap" --- -----.----- .----

Old Hayes he had rare old sheep,
Its wool was white as snow,
And everywhere that Hayes did went,
That sheep was sure to go.
The tax man to old Hayes did come
This sheep to list, and rate,
And Hayes did swear that sheep was worth
Five doars-clear and straight.
And Hayes did feed that sheep a year,
On grass, and roots, and hay,
And wonderfully did It grow
Much thinner every day.
And when another yeaI had fled,
The tax man came again,
Which put old Hayes into q Mt
or parsimonious pain.
And then he swore that same old sheep,
Which he had fed and grazed
Had dwindled quite away, In fact,
A shade OF other days.
Two dollars, and fraction more,
Was all he could be led
To say that same old sheep was worth,
So pampered, and so fed
The tax man frownd but put 1t down,
At just what Hayes had sworn,
And now the people say that Hayes,
Was honest-in q horn,
II Hayes old "sheep" so peterd out,
And faded at that rate,
1t seems that Hayes would prove botch,
To rule and guide the State.
