: CAREFULLY collated facts show that
the number of church organizations in
this country at the time of the Revolu-
ton was l to 1,706 of the population,
while at the last census, in 1870, it was
l to 500; that is, the churches have in
creased more than three times as fast

enough for n literary convention that
he took its presidency. 1t is not easy
to imagine the atmosphere of venera-

bated breath. After his Grafton they
bowed down around him with almost
canine servility. At the banquet at
the Continental Hotel / saw them kiss
his hand passionately. He receives all

WIN. CLARK, a high-mettled young
fellow, shot and killed the man who
won from him his lady love. This was
in New Haven twenty-four years ago,
and emerging from the State prison on,
Tuesday, he walked up and down the
City Of Elms like one in a dream. His
playmates were too thickly bearded to
be recognized, the landmarks were only
remembered with an effort, and with
tears in his eyes he at last beat his
breast as a veritable Rip Van Wrinkle.

NOBODY.

My glasses are missing, the paper mislaid,
But nobody's seen them, am afraid;
For thimble and scissors I've looked high and
low,
Though nobody had them, very well know
And my carpet this morning so bright and SC
neat,
Is covered with tracks of nobody's feet.
"Who walked up the babyl" nurse wondering
cries;
Nobody 7" Miss Bessie quite archly replies,
Appealing to Grace, who lifts shyly her eyes;
Nurse looks very doubtful, but says nothing
more,
Though she thinks that she heard some one
slaming the door.
"who has seen my new grammar Each cram
ny and nook,
He brought il from school, and IL lay on the shelf
But nobody's had it-that shy little elf
Who answers for half the misdeeds that are
done
The veriest scapegrace beneath the bright sun.
From bare-footed beggar TO king on the throne,
His equal for mischief, an never was known;
Though we never track him, he always is
nigh,
Still putting his finger in every ones pie:
In great things and small, the verdict's the same
Whatever the damage, nobody's TO blame.

Abernethy Outwitted.

A very laxative old lady, who
had wearied the temper of Mr..
Abernethy, who at all times was
impatient of babble, was told by
him, the first moment he could get
a chance of speaking, to be good
enough to put out her tongue
"Now pray, Madame" said he
playfully, "keep it out" The hint
was taken. He rarely met his
match, but on one occasion he fair
ly owned that he had. He was
sent for by an inn-keeper, who had
had a quarrel with his wife, who
had scored his face with her nails,
so that. the poor man was bleeding
and much disfgured. Mr.. Aber-
nethy considered this an opportu-
nifty not to be lost for admonishing
the offender, and said, MADAME,
are you not ashamed of yourself to
treat your husband thus-the bus-
band, who is the head of all-your
head, madam, in fact?' "Well,
DOCTOR" fiercely retorted the vira-
90, "and may l not scratch my
own head?" Upon this her friend
y adviser, after giving directions,
.urned upon his heel and confessed
himself beaten for once.
