These figures, we suppose, are tax.
en- from the census Of 1890. They
show that over one-third OF the
white people of thisstate are church
members nd,-presumably, at any
rate,-good Christians. Leaving all
very young children out of the cal
culation, the proportion Of church
members rises TO more than one
half OF the entire white population
Of responsible age. Here we find
explained the humble piety SO char
acteristic of our citizens, which,
throughout the union, makes the
name Mississippian a synonym for
industry, honesty, meekness, and
virtue.
Few Protestant es,-possibly
not another one-can show so large
proportion OF the people gathered
into the fold. Surely the millennium
can not be far distant when we zee
whole populations thus crowding
into the churches and vowing them
selves to thepure life that Christian
ity exacts of its converts. Even
though it be afar off that many Of
the disciples follow their Master,
the world has a right 10 expect that
communities where half the popula-
tion are Christians, be not as other
communities in which fraud and
vice abound. The world, we repeat,
has the right to demand this; the
professions Of the converts give it
that right. And if, in such commu-
mites, the peaceable fruits OF right
eousness are not forthcoming in
large measure, the irresistible infer
ence is that multitudes OF these So
called Christians are such in name
only.

Over the Ocean Of Being,
Till the wind fails,
Fast on their venturous voyage
Speed the white sails
But from the ships that have foundered,
Laboring slow,
Hardly abreast Of the bIlows
The rough RATS go.
Thereon the stranded from shipwreck
Painfully lie;
Lead seem the waters around them,
Brazen the sky.
Cruel the ships that in safety
steadfAstly speed;
Cruelest souls that aboard them
Reck not nor heed.
Nay for across the wan water
No appeal fails
Nay for the tiniess signals
Stay the white sails
some from The ship win come speeding,
Eager 70 sAve,-
Heirs 10 one glory Of hVing,
Heirs 10 one grave.
But il the bearers Of succor

George e. Woodberry has an ar
ticle in the August FOrxm in which
he says:
"As IL is better that man should
vote, though he vote for a scoun-
drel, it is better that he should read,
though he read bad books"
That is about as foolish an utter
ance as one ever sees in print. Mr..
WOOdberry probably thinks that il
is better that a man should write for
the Forum, though he writes non-
sense.

"Did you ever see the time since
the war, that the republicans want,
to turn loose office?'
No; and did you ever see the
time when the democrats were anx.
ious 10 do anything Of the sort? A
willingness to serve ones country
by holding Office is a virtue that is
by no means confined TO republi-
cans. This form Of self-sacrifice is
equally popular among democrats.

The Ideal Politeness of the In
toxicated Gentleman; There was
only one other passenger on the car,
and the polite gentleman had a
whole side to himself. A well dress
ed young woman got aboard. "Have
my sheat, said the young man with
a wavering bow. "Thank you, sir ;
there are other seats" said the
smiling maiden. "Don't dishturb
them; take my sheat," pleaded the
youth waving his arm gracefully.
''Really there is plenty of room, "
answered she, growing nervous. 81
can shtand with the others, ma
DAM" the Chesterfeldian passenger
insisted, and finally the young wo-
man was driven by his lofty polite
ness TO take the seat, while he, rails
ing his hat and bowling with grand
dignity, stood up in the almost emp
ty car as it rolled along.-PhilG-

nearly 100 men came together at the mon
ument and proceeded to search the woods
near Mr.. Hayward's, where he had form
erly been for the same purpose. While
engaged here word came that he had been
found near Mr.. Reads in Addison and
brought home by Warren Clark. He was
wandering in the lots and said he was 60
ing home. He resisted being brought
home, saying he did not want to go to
Mlddlebury, and was entirely lost until
nearly home, and even after arriving here
he. was quite out. He had eaten nothing,
unless it was berries, and was very weak.
1t is supposed he undertook to return
home, but at the cemetery Maple grove ,
where the two roads run nearly parallel,
he took the west one, which led him to
the west and towards Addison.
