MANY ROADS TO DEATH.
INTERESTING FIGURES FROM THE REPORT OF
THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT.

To be impressed by the great number OF Ills " the
flesh is heir to-" one needs only TO read the careful
report OF the deaths IN this city In the year 1883.
which has been prepared by Dr. Roger S. Tracy, Reg
lister OF Records in the Health Department There
were 40,l75 deaths In New-York In the year. ana
about 100 distinct diseases which caused death are
classified In the report Only In large city could tho
mortality IN a single year present such formdaoie

series Of tables arranged that the number oil deaths

lyceum of preaching. Very good OF course far as
/. goes but by no means everything. But you
saw YOU forget the clergymans pastoral work" No
don,t either. While the pastoral work OF the clergy
man * most important IL isn't always wha. II ought
n be Any pastor will tell you how unsatisfactory
an average pastoral call Is. No opening up Of the
sn,ritul life. No getting down 10 the reality Of
things That is side of the question. And an
other is this: CLERGYMAN, often unconscously, be-
comes a drummer That is 20 say, much Of his pas
