SCHOOL AND CHURCH.

Yale College funds are now $780,
900.
A new church, with no creed, has
been formed at Willimantic, Conn, of
which the Rev. j. l.. Barlow is pastor.
The Congregational Church at Hol-
brook, Mass. has been seeking pastor
for nine years, listening during that
time to sermons by 240 candidates.
The pecuniary position of curates
in the Church of England has improved
very much of late years, and in many
parishes the curate, if unmarried, will
often be richer man than his rector.
AT a recent meeting of the New,
York Methodist Conference a candidate
for the ministry admitted that he used Z
tobacco, and when asked the disciplin-
airy question, "Will you give it up?"
answered, "I can't" He was, never
theless, admitted.

From a report submitted to the
Methodist Conference sitting in Brook
lyn, N. Y, it appears that seventy five
OF the churches within the Conference
limits pay their pastors $1,000 or more :
year, 145 pay less than $1,000 and, q
more than $500, while twenty-five pay
5000 or less-some of them much less.
The fact came out early in the pro-
ceedings that one preacher received, all
told, for his years work $3.50. The
committee reporting this state of things
recommended the taking of collections
in all the churches for the benefit of the
preachers whose churches cannot, or at
any rate do not pay them living wages.

Wedding Fashions.

have never met, and never expect
to meet, the woman who can hear of
wedding quite unmoved. 1t is rite
that interests the whole sex, young and
old, pretty and plain, rich and poor,
gentle and simple. No matter how
many weddings they may have seen,
they never tire of them, but will 90 to
one after the other with unflagging
interest and attention, as absorbed
during the ceremony as though it were
an utter novelty. The bride is, of
course, the centre of attraction. Even
those who know her quite intimately
stare at her as though they had never
seen her before devouring each detail
OF her dress with eager glances. As
rule the bride who feels least looks best
Emotion of the intense kind has often
becoming effect, and in this age of
nerves agitation is apt to produce
pallor, tendency to tears, or an
unbecoming flush. Tears seldom
beautify. Poets and painters elo-
rify beauty in tears but that is
theory. In practice their first effect
is to redden the eyes; their second to
incardine the nose; their third to de-

was the correct thing. We had not
quite emerged from the sentimental era.
Mrs. Heman's poetry was much read,
and we all know how her brides be-
haVed, weeping on their fathers
shoulder and their mothers bosom,
and reciting regretful parting verses,
so that one wondered that the BRIDE
groom was not offended by so much
grief. and did not jump into the
"chariot' and leave her there. We
are more practical nowadays. The
bride always smiles when she leaves
the vestry, and occasionally is seen to
do so as she comes up the church.
This last may be looming i'm but is
rather venturesome thing to do Just
yet. She ought, strictly speaking, to
hang her head down a little bit, not so
much as brides did twenty years ago,
but still quite perceptibly. There is
no earthly reason why brides. as rule,
should hang their heads, but fashion
DEGREES that they shall. They are
going to marry the man of their choice.
They are probably leaning on the arm
OF father of whom they are proud.
Why should they hang their heads?
Perhaps fashion provides the custom in
order to meet the case of the brides
who really ought to hang their heads;
those who are selling themselves for
title, for an establishment, for landed
estates-even for home. However
this may be ten years hence the droop-
ing head will have quite gone out

Deep in the Baskets at her sides;

And filings and tosseS everywhere

And never dreams he leads the age,

And seventy feet at single breath,
And seventy feet from instant death!

And faster than q falcons flight
