OF course it pleases us to see the clergy
take up those much-neelected questions In prdc-

called ty THE SUN. We notice that the associa-
tion OF Episcopal clersymen, in providing for

us that the particular suggestions Of THE SUN

Flowers at the Centennial.

The horticultural grounds and exposi-
tion of the Centennial comprise forty
acres, covering the whole of sugar-loaf
hill located near the center of the ex-
position inclosure. All the United
States trees will be represented, and the
plants recently introduced from China,
Japan and the east. The space reserved
for the display of ornamental gardening
will contain about 10000 Towering, and
perhaps as many foliage plants, arranged
in the carpet bed, ribbon and geometri-
cal styles of gardening. The building,
exclusive of the main hall and the four
greenhouses, is divided into several
compartments for the individual exhibits
of florists and gardeners. On the north
and south sides are the two greenhouses,
each thirty by one hundred feet in size.
These and the main hall are heated by
hot water for the exhibition of choice
plants of commerce, tropical and other
exotic productions. The main hall,
eighty by two hundred and thirty in
size, will be ornamented by handsome
marble fountain surrounded by statuary
and specimens of the ceramic act. The
heating of this large building is effected
as follows -Four large return fiue-boilers
placed in the basement of the main hall
connect by iron pipes laid underneath
the floor OF the passageway, conveying
water to and from the boilers, and, pro
PEELED by heat, the water moves through
out the building, disseminating a genia
and uniform heat everywhere.

Deacon Marvin, of Lyme.

One of the early settlers of Lyme,
Conn.,, was Reynold Marvin. He was o
rich lNndholder, militia captiin, and
a deacon of church. He professed to
be governed by divine communications.
On one occasion he announced that the
Lord had directed him to distribute his
COWS among the poor. A shiftless fel
low who was omitted in the distribution
finally went to the deacon and said he,
too, had received a communication from
the Lord, who had sent him there for q
COW.
"Of course, then, you must have q
cow was the reply. "But what sort
of COW did the Lord say must give
you-a new milch or farrow?"
GA new milch COW, Sir"
"Indeed! Your communication could
not have been from the Lord, for have
no new mileh cow"
The baffled beggar departed.
Another time the deacon opposed
some church measure, which was carried
in spite of him. He promptly refused
to pay his church taxes, and was sued,
and his saddle taken for the debt. He
esteemed himself deeply wronged, and
rode upon q sheepskin (wheeled vehicles
had as yet hardly appeared in the colo
nies) forever afterward. And riding
upon his sheepskin one day, he reined
his horse up to the cottage door OF
pretty Betty Lee. 1t was an old Dutch
door, cut IN two in the middle. She
came and leaned upon the lower half,
her blue eyes open wide, and her dainty
hands holding fast to plate which she
was wiping.
Betty" said he, solemnly, ''the Lord
sent me here to marry you.
Betty's eyes fell upon the doorstep,
and so did the plate. The demure
maiden, however, rallied instantly.
"The Lords will be dono," she re
piled.
The deacon nudged his horse and
trotted slowly away, and the maiden
finished washing her dishes. Betty :
father was not friendly to the deacon,
and tried to break the engagement. He
did not succeed, as appears from the
punishment which, according to the
custom of the times, was posted upon
the church door. 1t was the production
of the prospective bridegroom, and ran
thus:
"Reyn I'D Marvin and Betty Lee
Do intend 10 marry
And though her dad opposed be,
They can no longer tary."
They we're married, and lived in
peace, and in a small stone house on the
west side of "The Street brought up a
large family of children, and in due
course of events were gathered to their
fathers. On time-worn headstone in
the Lyme cemetery may be seen the fol
lowing inscription:
"This Deacon, aged sixty-eight,
Is freed on Earth from sarving,
May for crown no longer wait

The Advantage of 1t.

The day had been set, and the young
man was happy. But his father failed
in business, and he collected all the pink
love letters, the lock of hair, the faded
violet, etc., and started for her father s
mansion. He was high-minded and
honorable and felt in duty bound to re-
lease her from the engagement, Yet he
grew faint as he was ushered into the
parlor. Such love as his wouldn't stay
crushed.

Story of a Russian Princess.

A young Russian has for some years

at the university of Leipsic with unusual
zeal. The young man, of an aristocratic
exterior, made friends of all who came
in contact with him. Recently he

which was rewarded with the dignity of
a master of arts. Soon thereafter q
young lady called on one OF the most
