show that the growth OF Roman Ca
tholicism in New England during the
last thirty years has been large. In 80
years there has been an increase OF d.
oceses, bishops, 524 priests, 30
churches and chapels, 20 academies,

A meeting Of Methodists in Boston
has decided to petition the General Con-
ference to make rule providing that
Presiding Elders shall be appointed by
the Bishops on the nomination of a
majority of the Conference that If the
Bishop has other views, he may COM
municate them and the Conference act
upon them, and if the Conference docs
not nominate, he may appoint, as now.
A demand for the introduction of lay
representation into the annual Confer
ences was also agreed upon.
speaking of the influence of charity
kindergartens on children who have
been utterly neglected at home, the
New Education says: ''The first lew
days the kindergarten is like menagerie
of little wild beasts, tearing and pound
ing each other, talking profane and foul
language, rebellious and selfish-all the
vices being displayed in miniature: In
weeks time order has dawned, for
delightful occupations have chained
attention; beautiful sights and sounds,
and lovely sentiments setto music, have
charmed eye and ear and heart; har-
monious and dramatic plays have been
organized I; kind words and caresses have
walked a new sense of enjoyment, and
| in less than month it is little, orderly,
docile, and compliant company. in
which all are agreeable to each other,
forming little friendships and making
sacrifices"

TIE BATTLE or LIFE.


Go forth to the battle Of life, my boy,
Go while II is called to-day,
Forthe years go out and the years come In,
Regardless Of those who may lose OF win
OF those who may work or play.
And the troops march steadily on, my boy,
To the army gone before
You may hear the sound of their falling feet
Going down to the river where two worlds meet
They 50 to return no more.
There i place for you in the ranks, my boy,
And duty, too, assigned
Step into the front with cheerful face
Be quick or another may take your place
And you may be left behind
There is work to be done by the way, my boy,
That you can never tread again I;
Work for the loftiest lowliest mem
Work for the pillow, plane, spindle and PEN
Work for the hands and the brain.
The serpent will follow your steps, my boy,
To lay for your teet snare,
And pleasure sits In her fairy bowers,
With garlands of peoples and lotus flowers
Enwreathiug her golden hair.
Temptations will wait by the way, my boy,
Temptations without and within
And spirits Of evil, with robes as fair
As those which the angels in heaven might wear,
Will lure you to deadly sin.
Then nut on the armor of God, my boy.
In the beautiful days Of youth $50
Put on the helmet and breast-plate and shield
And the sword that the fullest arm may WELD
In the cause of right and truth,
And go to the battle of life, my boy,
With the peace Of the Gospel shed,
And before high heaven do the best YOU can
For the great reward and the good Of man,
For the kingdom and crown of God.

MISCELLANY.

That our readers may fully understand the
nature of the . Blue Laws /" of Connecticut,
about which so much has been said, we pnb.
lsh them below in FULL In early times stat
ute books containing hundreds of pages of
law were not deemed necessary to keep the
feet of the people in the straight and narrow
path that leads to salvation. The laws,
though few, were to the point, and were not
so liable as at the present time to be twisted
by lawyers to suit the exigencies of any case
that might arise. They are SO plain that he
who runs may read The laws of Virginia
were almost identical with those Of Connec-
ticut. The following are the Connecticut
laws :

general assembly are the supreme power un-
der God of this independent dominion.
From the determination of the assembly no
appeal shall be made.

The Sabbath shall begin at Sunset on Sat-
urday.
To nick an ear of corn growing in a neigh

A person accused of trespass in the night
shall be Judged guilty, unless he clear himself
by his oath.

self.
Conspiracy against the dominion shall be
punished with death.
The Judge shall determine all controversies
without Jury.
No one shall be freeman or give vote
unless he be converted and member Id full
communion of one of the churches allowed iD

TIE FOX AND TIE ass.

One day Fox who had wandered afar from
his den found his return cut off by stream
of considerable depth and current. He could
not swim and be cudgeled his brain in vain
for some method by which be might get over.
In this dilemma Donkey suddenly appeared
in search of drink.
ooh, Donkey, I am delighted to meet
you !" exclaimed the Fox as he came for
ward. 81 was just wishing for good CON-
pany, for the forest is SO very still and night
is coming on"
:" The Donkeys and the Foxes have no
fraternal feeling. While you bark i bray
while you lope gallop while you love flesh
/ prefer grass. Goyour way and I'll go mine. .
1t is true we do not mate" quietly replied
the Fox, :" but that is no sign do not appre-
ciate your intelligence and beauty. could
not help being born Fox, but oh how often
I have wished that had your beautiful ears,
your thunderous bray and your elegant
shape"
Eh, what's that ? y queried the delighted
Donkey.
See what beautiful long legs you have y
continued the Fox. 4.3fA sss.ff
81 Do you really think so ,"
g Aud such beautiful long ears If only
had your feet would be as proud as pea.
COCK"
The fiattered Donkey began to gambol and
show off, and the Fox continued
Across the stream and beyond the swamp
is my den. should really like my children
to behold you and hear your voice. They
have heard me tell of you, and they cry for
you. One of them is i'll, and | cannot let him
die until he has seen the greatest Ass in
America
A little more faftery aud coaxing quite
won the heart Of the Donkey, and he agreed
to go.
AS he entered the stream the Fox leaped
lightly to his back and passed over without
wet foot. When they entered the swamp
he renewed his fiattery, and was finally car
ried to dry land.
= You are.not going asked the Donkey,
as the Fox jumped down aud started off.
g YesN
L "lBut shoughtvou wanted me to bray to
your children p"
81 have changed my mind, replied the
Fox. " have concluded to do my own bray
ing after this"
/" But am far from home and cannot find
my way back"
Then It is your misfortune that you were
not born Fox. Let me give you few words
of advice. Be what nature designed you to
be-. Never take dollars worth of flattery
in place of shiling's worth of pork. While
you can bray, never do so without realizing
that bray always gives away the location Of
Donkey. 1t is more easy to fiatter than to
buy. A Donkey who can be flattered can al
ways be duped. In brief, don't knock down
persimmons on shares before you have found
out whether you like 'em or not
