ter of Macauley is vastly better than the slang and low gossip of tavern bar-room. An hour with Shakespeare, an interview with Tennyson, Longfellow, or Whittier will estop the charm of those village haunts whose prin- cipal inspiration would seem to be tobacco smoke, and the flavor of small beer and small- CT wit. And there is this about first class author that he goes with you through life. His invisible self, his moral and intellectual personally are as real and valuable, rather more so, when one is old as when he IS young.
 ''Marmion'' and the "Lady of the Lake" do not grow stale with time. The '1dyles of
 King Arthur" ''The Two Voices" Mrs.
 Browpiug's ''Vision of the Poets, "$'E 'Evange- akin to these, have safe immunity from age. ''The Tempest" and King Lear,' 5 "Hamlet" and ''Julius Casar" are as fresh and wonderful for the man of seventy, as for the boy of seventeen Who that has laughed over the adventures of Don Quixote, and his faithful squire, or those of Gil Bias, or over the inimitable pages of 'Knickerbocker" re- counting the doings of the quaint old Dutch Governors of New York, can ever forget the pleasure of their acquaintance, or fail to carry with him, in sense, their companionship through life?
 1 put in a plea, then, for such Library in every village in the State. "Where there is will there is a way" and there would be will in 8 thousand villages very quickly, I am confident, if only the great importance of the thing were sufficiently realized. am lating Library exclusively. The main thing is, that our young people get the books, and get at their contents as soon and thoroughly as possible. Apart from such village and pub- lie library as have advocated, every young personshould be ambitious to have also pri- vate library of his own. Let him begin early, aud with the advice of some judicious friend Let hin save little from his earnings every day or week, and very soon he will be able to make such beginning as will surprise himself
 If one tenth of the money spent by thou sands on liquors and tobacco, and fast horses, and other needless things, were laid out in the gradual acquisition of the best books. and each new book read and mastered before the next is bought, the future of our country would be vastly brighter than it now is. Shallow think ing, the result of superficial culture, is large part of the peril of our times. Against the dangers of all sorts, political, social, moral, now rolling in upon us like tidal wave we need every defense, and among the best of breakwaters is good book

 Dea. Gold, of Cream Hill. closed the services
 with "reminiscences of Sabbath school experi- ence, and tender allusions to the decease of Dr. H. M. Knight, Lakeville, an able and in- defatigable worker in the Sueday school and

The net increase for six years has been IS per cent, while the increase of Litchfeld county for 20 years averages only six per cent. The list of absentees is per cent. of membership, the average in the State being 12 per cent. Only one church member and one who was expect. ing soon to join were removed by death, one by letter. If the benevolent offerings have fallen off one fourth, the expenses for church repairs and chapel improvements explain it. $4OO were laid out on the church, $20O, on the chapel The village Sabbath school rose to 100 in membership with the New Year. Each school added to it's library, small as- sortment of carefully selected books. The plan had been adopted three years ago, of adding every year few. after the committee had sat- isfied themselves of their merits. This com mittee holds over for several years. The plan should be more generally adopted in schools, The year has been one of quiet work, but steady gains and should lead us to raise our 'ebenezers" in more substantial memorials, of charity, of devotion to the youth of service in the line of Good Samaritans. . c.

The following is from the London
Economist: The tide of emigration
to the United States which ebbed
rapidly after the crisis of 1873 is now
flowing on again in greater volume
than ever. Going back for a period
of ten years we find that in 1870 the
total number Of immigrants into the
States was 3S7,000.a In 1878 it
reached 100000, and from this, its
highest point, it swiftly declined until
in 1878 it had fallen to $4,000.
Within the past twelve months or so
however. the arrivals have been on a
constantly increasing scale, and if
thew continue at the anne rate as at
present, the number Of Immigrants
during the current year will not fall
short Of 100000.
