A Brave Girl.

About o mile from the village Of Pres
ton, Conn, "a girl of 10 lives alone with
her father. The other evening the father
went off to the village, leaving the
daughter by herself in the house. Some
time after dark she heard rap at the
door, and on opening it she found o lit
tie negro, leaning on his stick and evil
IDENTIFY very feeble, who asked for some.
thing to eat. The girl would probably
have turned back to lind something for
the beggar, but she suddenly caught
sight Of the negro's eyes and saw that
they were blue. Now, u blue.eyed negro,
as the Intelligent young lady was aware,
is something Of rarity, and she at once
touched the little old mans face
with her finger, causing
some charcoal from the one
to stick to the other. The pretended
beggar no sooner saw that his fraud was
detected than he threw off all disguise,
revealed himself tall, powerful man.
and rushed upon the girl before him.
She struggled with all the strength
which her terrible position gave her, and
at last succeeded in getting near the
fireplace. With great effort she freed
her arm, grasped an iron poker and put
her whole soul into blow on the ruff
fans head He was stunned for mo-
ment and the young lady lost no time In
tying his feet and hands together. Hav,
ing done this she went out and hitchedi
the horse to the wagon, came back and
forced the helpless prisoner into the
vehicle, drove off and only thought her
work done when the fellow was in safe
keeping in the village.

crowded Chnrckes.

OF course the Roman Catholic
churches are crowded; they always are.
The Roman Catholics during Lent have
their regular services, and go to church
"between meals" as well. How is it
with the Episcopalians? went to Trim
ity the other day, and ! had to stand
round for half an hour before the
gowned verger could find me q seat. and
when he did find me one, just at the be-
ginning of the sermon, it was in the
aisle. l went to st. Johns Church one
evening; it was crowded to the door. /
went to the Church of st, Mary the Yir-
gin, and was seated behind stone pill
lar, where my view Of the gorgeous cere-
monial was confined to dozen candles,
which hickered on the extreme right of
the altar, and to an acolyte who sat near
the altar rail and made eyes at pretty
girl in the congregation. No wonder
there was O crowd. Such vestments,
such incense, such lights, such singing,
and such painted saints on the wall
Surely the congregation was not fallen
off here. The Baptists go to DR..
McAithur's, and you must be early to
get q seat; or go to Mr.. Judson's,
where you'll surely find crowd, though
you may always count on o seat, even If
some of the regular congregation have to
give up theirs to you. GO to almost any
Baptist church, and you'll find almost
as many people as the church will con.
tain. The Methodists never have small
congregations; one of their proyerbial
virtues is church going. In short, go to
any well established church Of any living
and working denomination, and you'll
find out how absurdly false is the per-
iodical paragraph about failing congre-
cations. But go where agnostism is
preached and you will see a beggarly
number of empty benches. The vaga.
ries Of spiritualism and the agonies OF
second adyentisn are no longer popular.
The predicaments Of the former and the
predictions of the latter have proved dis
astrous. As far as New York is con-
cerned, l believe that the proportion oi
church.go to the population is as
large as at any time in the city's history
and larger than in most New England
villages.-[New York Correspondence

Twenty Sons.

look at cap. He was shown number
of caps, and selecting one that suited, he
stated that he would take four of them.
The halter was somewhat astonished to
hear the man ask for four caps at once,
especially as he said he wanted them all
the same size.
"Have you four sons of one size?"
asked Mr.. Gallagher.
"Yes, sir, have; and I've got sixteen
