SCHOOL AND CHURCH.

Tho oldest college dormitory In the
United States Is the one known - South
Middle at Yale. It WAS erected in 1859.
Boston has now thirty Congrega-
donal, twenty-eight Baptist and twen-
ty-seven Episcopal churches.
"A meeting Of members of the United
and Reformed Presbyterian churches
was held recently in Pittsburgh, at
which . committee was appointed to
urge the un on Of these two branches be-
fore the higher courts Of both churches.
Tho voluntary contributions for the
support of the Anglican schools OF En-
gland amounted to over 1000, 900 in
the period between 1870 and 1883

The statistics of New England col

Out Of three hundred and ten men, two
hundred and eighteen are members Of
the church. and over forty are training
for the Christian ministry.
The attendance at Board schools, Is

gland are called, has increased in six
teen years from 9, 726 to 1878, O06. Tho
attendance at Church schools has also
increased in tho same period, but in no
such proportion. The Church of En-

"hlLr HER HOLT"


RsilrosA Tr.in.
She never had any children Of her
own; but to several generations Of
Sandy Ridge young folks she has been
Aunt Jinsey." Her life has been
narrow, and her experience limited in
its range. Until last year, the events
which made epochs in Aunt Jinsey's
experience were the completion OF her
first quilt, her baptism in Tussahaw
creek, her slighting of Deacon Barnes
three-months' widower-when she was
sixteen. her marriage four years later to
Jabex Golightly, and the winning OF
blue ribbon on her fortieth birthday BY
her Jersey heifer At the country fair.
But last year she saw wonderful new
phase of life. In July, Uncle Jack b.
gan to get ready for their annual visit
to his brother David, who lives fifteen
miles distant However. instead Of
driving there along the chaming coun-
try road, as has been their want for
forty years, starting in the early morn
ing, beneath pink sunrise skies, jogging
along past dewy fields and just awaken
ing woods, arriving while the morning
glories yet held out their red and blue
cups. the old couple decided to make
the trip in . way novel to them both.
This decision brought to both Of them
much trepidation, but more eagcrncss.
On the appointed day. they drove. with
quickening pulsc-beatA the long ten
miles to j., . small station on the
railroad newly constructed through this
section Of the East There they took

tank, where an obliging conductor was
in the habit Of letting passengers Of.
This tank was only two miles from
David Golightly'a
Aunt Jinsey lived through it though,
from the moment when the locomotive
screeched and pulled of at J. until
it stood stone still at the tank, she did
not expect to.
"Yes, Dave" said Uncle Jabe, few
days after. ''wc'll be obliged ter you ter
send us home behind yore ole marc. l
amt er honin' SO powerful pertickler
ter be whizzed inter turnal kyos by thet
thing"
And his good woman added: "Yes,
Dave; the ole mares sartainly prop
erer critter to pull US home than thet
whoopin' mime"
But it was an experience that actuA.-
ly enriched existence for these two
kindly souls. When the apple.ckeeked
Sandy Ridge girls and boys cluster
around Aunt Jinsey now TO hear her tell
the marvellous story Of her tour. and
when she has graphically described the
hooting and the roaring, the whirring
and the buzzing. the shaking up ant
the shooting wildly through space. they
always ask breathlessly:
''And what did you do. Aunt JinseyT'
