A Clever SwIndIer.

when passing a place numbered
with brick, timber and other build:

in the search, to knock of the hat

"Give it up. give it up" he cried.
"iivc up wliat!' demanded the

around the sharper's victim.
Givc the boy his money-his

the swlndlcr.
The gentleman angrily prOtestcd;
but the swell mobsman cut him short
by cXclaiming:
"Ilc's got it, men. | saw him put

The hat was instantly examined

the LOVE or GOD.

Like . cradle rocking, rocking,
Silent, peaceful, to and fro;
Like Q mothers sweet looks dropping
On the little face below;
Hangs the green earth, swinging, turning
Jarless, nOiseless, safe and slow;
Falls the night Of Gods face bending
Down, and watching as w, 10.
And a. little babes that suffer.
Toss and moan, aud will not rest,
Are the ones the teuder mother
Holds the clos-st-loves the best;
So, when we are weak and helpless,
BY our woes weighed down, oppressed;
Theu il is that Gods great patience
Holds us closo.t-lOyes us best.
Oh, great Heart Of God! whose loving,
Cannot numbered be nor crossed,
Will not weary, will not even
Ia our death itself be lost;
Love divine. Of such great loving,
Ouly mothers know the cost
Cost Of love, which all love passing,
Gave Sou TO save the lost.

How eagland Takes Her Census.

In Great Britain a census has
been taken every ten years since
1901, and the system is now one ot
the most perfect in existence. Tn.
Ill near the close of the last century,
there WAS no real method, and all
previous cstimatiOuS of the pOpula.
ton of the United Kingdom were
mere guess work. Ii seems the
more strange that such should have
been the fact, considering that, in
the American colonies, enumrra
lions of the population had often
been made 10y order of the home
government. In 1890, Il beginning
was made in Scotland Ivy Sir John
Sinclair, who, through his personal
Efforts in rnlisting the cooperation
of all the clcrgymen of the establish.
eel church, collected returns which
were of great value, although necrS.
sdrily incomplete. After seven
years he completed his compilation,
and published the result in twenty.
one volnmnS, probably the greatest
statistical work ever undertaken
and carried through 10y one enter
prise. Under the system adopted
in 1871, the census in Treat Britain
is now taken in one dav. the 3lst of
March. In 1871, 3O,GrS rnumcrators
were appointed in England aud
Wales by the 2,l9O district regis.

islands the Government appointed
pa cnumcIators, aud IN Ireland the
census WAS taken 10y the constabn
larry. Some DAYS before the census
day printed schedules were delivered,
AZ every house or tenement: IN
Wales these were printed IN Welsh
tor the hcuctit ut the lower classes.
These schedules contained questions
about the name, relation to head of

of the profession before it's eyes,
tells the following illustration Of
faith divorced from works:

Alabama river steamer, in the old
days of racing. The captain seeing
the rival boat a half a mile head,
began to curse, order pine knots,
etc, to he thrown in, to kindle the
fire as hot as possible; the steam got
higher and higher, the iatalistic
preacher edged farther on deck.
The jolly captain seeing this tapped
the him on the shoulder and said:

you was one of them fellows what
believes that what is TO happen will
happen"

Id like Ia be as near the stern as
possible when il does happen.
