a Clerical Anecdote.

Bishop Chase, the pioneer Bishop
Of Ohio, used to tell the following
story at the expense Of the Episcopal
Church. During his yisitations
through the State, the Bishop fell in
with an old school comrade who had
recently been made Chief Justice Of
the State. The Bishop reminded his
friend Of old times and congratulated
him upon their success in life, and
the honorable position in WHICH they
found each other after their long sep
tion, concluding, :'And better
than all, Judge, find you are - NELL

the Judge, '.'that's more !: matter OF
chance than anything else. You see,

deliberation we settled down with
the Baptists and got on very we'll for
time, but they kept harping Oh

covered that they required more faith
than we had. 50 it became necessary
to make change. We turned the

from various reasons, made up our
minds to join the Methodlsts. Here
we found the demand WAS work.

work than we were able to perform.
It was with great reluctance that we
concluded that we must change again,
and cast about with much caution
that this might be final. At last we
decided to connect ourselves with
your Church, Bishop, and have got,
along famously ever since without
either faith or works. &

Demorcsts Monthly for october.
The calculations about the British
coal-fields have set statisticians ut
work to determine how long the anthra-
cite coal of this country will last. Our
soft or bituminous coal is practically
inexhaustible, but east of the Rocky
Mountains, so far as known, hard OF
anthracite coal is confined to a limited
area in tho state of Pennsylvania.
There arc 800, 900 square miles of hard
coal country in that state. Estimating
hundred tons to the acre in depth
would give S2O,0O0,0O0 tons. As tho
various strata of coal would average
thirty feet in depth, grand total Of
$500, 900, 900 represents tho total pro-
duction. As the present consumption
is $4,000, 900 tons per annum, it will be
over three hundred years before the
Pennsylvania supply will be exhausted.
Some very fine anthracite coal has been
found in Colorado, and other stratas
oft will doubtless be uncovered in parts
Of the extreme western country, but
with our vast stores Of bituminous coal,
our wood, and petroleum, there is nc
danger Of a want Of fuel for a thousand
years ahead, no matter how dense our
population. Then 1t is not unreason.
able to believe that chemistry may give
us new heat producing combinations
which will dispense with the use of our
present fuels.

DsmorCN's Monthly for OctObcr,
A French sayant asserts that the
time may come when dOnkeyS and
other inferior animals may talk with
out any miraculous power being eXer-
cised to make them do so. This can
be done, he says, by careful breeding,
selection, and an education continued
through several generations. Breed
ing heretofore has been directed to-
ward certain physical characteristics,
such as ilectness in II horse, milk in q
COW, and fine juicy meat in cattle.
Breeders find it possible TO create u
certain physical type of pigeon, COW or
shecp-that is, they can sketch out on
paper what they want and then realize
it by selections among the herd.
According to this French scientist,
animals even now communicate by
sound. Certain birds, such as the par
rot and the mocking bird, can be
taught to speak, because the structure
of throat and mouth resembles those
of the human being. A good many
curious speculations have been in
dulged in respecting the man of the
future, but what if the ass, the COW
and tho sheep of the future should be
gifted with articulate speech, and
what seemed IN incredible biblical
legend become an everyday fact?

AUTUMN.

Fair summer now lies dead and still
Autumn blasts her requiem sing.
With plaintiff voices, loud aud shrill
Black leaves upon her grave they fling
The birds are flown to brighter scenes,
The naked woods all silent lie,
And hOary hills are lost In dreams,
Recliu'd upon the drcary sky.
The feeble rays come slantiug down,
Dead leaves fly swiftly o'er the plain;
The withcr'd fields are scar and brown,
Where waved the grass and yellow grain,
The lonely hum Of wandring bee,
GrasshOppers drening in the hedge,
The cricket's chirp of sullen glec,
And wild fowl piping in the sedgc
But an instant blue wings folding,
Now fit the jays from hill to plain,
Here amid the forest scOlding,
Then to the orchard back again.
The children come with shout and glcc
Among the groves with rustling tread,
Where the towering chestnut tree
On the leaves rich treasures spread.
Soon Winter, from his Northern cave,
With white hair streaming from the sky,
Win hoarscly through the forest rave
And let his icy arrows ly.71

after she was taken out of the dhow,

which she has had several. Every
