A census of the religious views Of the

been published by the Boston Saturday
Evening Gazette. The whole number
in the class is 2l3. OF these there Is one
agnostic. one atheist, eight Baptlsts,
Two Roman CathOli IS. two of the Chris
tan denomination. twenty-five Congre-
ratiopalists. no deist. one Dutch Re
formed. thirty seven EpiscOpalians. one
Jew. one Liberal. five Meth0dists, five
Presbvterians, three Quakers. one
Swedenborgian. thirty-hve Uuita-
riaus. four Universalists. none who

others. sixteen undecided. fifty eight

they have no religion, or probably

doubt. of these young men gave their
religious family connection. Such sta
tistics, either on a large or small scale.
indicate little as to personal state, but
are always interesting. We notice that
in the Glass of 81 there were fifteen az
nostics. and in SO fourteen. but in all
the classes from 1850 to 1889, inclusive,
there have been but three avowed athe-
lists and fifteen deists.

obliged to forego his visit to the fair.

A frank admission.
Women's good sense is said to come from
intuition; may it not be that they are more
close observers of little things. One thing
is certain, they are apt to strike the nail on
the head, in all the ordinary problems of
life, more frequently than the lords OF
creation.
