RELIGIOUS AND EDUCATIONAL

"A bell with the inscription: "Sin-
ners, this bell calls you to the worship
of Christ and nothing more" has been
presented to the Baptist Church of Ded-
ham, Mass.
John Wentworth says that the first
Protestant in Chicago was Baptist, the
first book there published was written
by a Baptist, and the first Protestant
sermon was printed by Baptist.

AT a recent meeting of the Phila-
delphia School Board it was stated as
proof of the stupidity of the school
system in that city that it took twenty
minutes to read over the course of in
struction authorized in primary schools
for pupils in their first four months.
"A novel plan to promote the cul-
tivation OF flowers among the poor is
being tried in Philadelphia. Mr. John
Wanamaker, of that city, President of
the Presbyterian Sunday-school Super
intendents' Association, has given notice
that he will supply gratuitously Except
the cost of mailing) one hundred
packets containing four varieties of
flower seeds to every Sunday-school
which will agree to make a midsummer
display of flowers, with prizes, and send
report of the results to the committee.
"A speaker at an educational meet
ing recently held in Chicago. insisted
that instruction in morals should be
given in the public schools from some
good textbook. He added that schol-
ars should be made to commit to men,
ory the Ten Commandments, and these
should be explained to them so that
they could understand them. They
should be taught the existence of God,
and to recognize Him as the Ruler of the
universe, as well as q mans response
bility toward God, that there was a life
beyond this one, and the hope of ever
lasting life.
Bishop O'Reilly, of the Roman
Catholic diocese of Springfield, Mass,
has been preaching strongly against
mixed marriages of Protestants and
Roman Catholics. He saws a Roman
Catholic woman who marries a Prot
estant endangers her own soul and
those Of her offspring, as the husband
will not be likely to allow the children
to be educated as Roman Catholics,
whatever he may promise. Never
should Roman Catholic marry Prot
estant woman, because in ninety
cases out of a hundred the children in
herit the characteristics of the mother.

CHAPTER VI.
THE MESSAGE FROM THE SEA.

II was, then, in October, eighteen
hundred and seventy-nine, that Dick.
the Malay, made his appearance and
told his tale Having told il he re-
NAMED in the house, attaching himself,
rs by right, to Lal, whose steward he
became, rs he had been steward to
Rex.
The thing produced, naturally, n
profound sensation in the Captains
room, whittier Dick was invited to re-
peat his performance, not once, but
several times.
1t was observed that, though sub
stantially the same, the action ALWAYS
differed in the addition or the withdraw
al of certain small details, the interpre-
tation of which was obscure. One or
two facts remained certain, and were
agreed upon by all; I'm open boat, n
long waiting, a rescue, either by being
picked up or by finding land, and then
one or two fights, but why, and with
whom, was matter of speculation.
Captain Iachariasen remained obsti-
nate to his theory. There was a wild
ow, there was marriage, there was a
baby, there were conjugal rows, and
finally Il prison in which Rex Armiger
still remained. How to fit the panto-
mime into these wonderful details was
matter of difficulty which he was al
ways endeayoring to overcome by tho
help OF the more obscure gestures in the
mummicking.
The general cheerfulness of the house
was naturally much elevated by this
event. 1t was, indeed, felt not only
that hope had returned, but also that
honor was conferred upon Rydquist' $
by so mysterious and exciting revels-
ton.
This distinction became more general
ly recognized when the Secretary and
one of the Directors of the Indian PEN
insular Line came over TO see the Malay,

Two Misers.

A lawyer in Troy, n. Y, states that
in the bitter weather of last January he
was called at midnight to make a will
for a supposed pauper named Ager.
lie found the man dying in wretched
hovel, withouta tlre, apparently of want,
his wife beside him, dying also of hem
orrhage of the lungs
Ager had one thousand five hundred
dollars in four small bags, and six hun
dred dollars in gold in his pockets,
which he had carried so long that they
were black and greasy. Gold was also
found secreted in iron pots and tea-pots
in the house. He died before morning,
and his wife an hour or two later.
They were both educated and of good
birth.
They had bought no fuel all winter.
and had literally starved and frozen to
death. When asked why they had not
spent few dollars in making them
selves comfortable, they replied "Mon-
ey was a good thing to have" They
could not take it with them, however,
and at almost the last moment of life
gave it to charitable society.
Such instances of extreme ayarice are
very rare among native Americans. The
Nation Is too well-fed and well-clothed:
the general habit of life is too prodigal;
money comes too easily to foster even
wise economy in the character of Ameri-
can children.

to the past generation in the Middle
States as miser of land. He was
childless, and owned enormous tracts in
Pennsylvania, New York and Ohio.
which he only improved sufficiently to
enable him to pay the taxes on them.
and to buy more land.
His whole life was spent in travelino
on foot over his possessions, and il was
ms boast that he could walk from the
Hudson to the Miami, and sleep every
night on his own ground. On these
Journeys he begged his food from his
tenants, and wore the same suit of
clothes, until it literally dropped off of
him. rotten with filth and age.
Nothing could induce him to sell o,.
give away foot of land. AT last the
old man was missed, and after a connie
OF months his body was found in a for
est on the Allegheny Mountains, where.
having been taken i'll on one of his iour-
neys, he had crept to die. Six feet of
ground was given to him for grave.
and that, by a strange chance, as if in
derlsion OF the old mans folly, belonged
to another man.
The folly of these two men is evident
to the dullest of us. Their lives to the
very hour of death were spent in dis
comfort and want, that they might ac-
cumulate riches which they knew they
must leave behind them.
But are we any wiser? How many of
us are striving only to gain the property,
fame or social position which we must
leave behind usP What goods have we
to make comfortable and happy that
life beyond the graveP Which of ali
the things we prize aud hoard here, will
be OF any more use to us an hour after
death, than were the gold or Land
