THE TALK OF THE DAY.

Saws q correspondent: "The craze for young clergy
men has gone far that it has had all effect on the
age of seminary students. They are much younger
than they used to be- The result Of this is that young
men are put in charge Of congregations who ought
to be in college learning to think and finding out what
they don't know. l am firmly convinced that the
clerical of the present time is largely due TO the
fact that the churches Ordan young men, before their
opinions are formed. In few years they begin to

A Unique Raf1e.-A card that came to our notice
this morning reads as follows:

from neighboring village, who has been wronged and

and anxious to the bread for bOtn, but the baby
doesn't know any about work than a walking
delegate, and it necessary TO secure place for IL
while tho mother Is employed. For this purpose the
Institution. but coldy advised to go back to The
place from whence she came, in other words, to get
out; and, but Tor the Kindness OF Stranger, would
have had 10 choose between vacant lot and the police
station for accommodations. DO not mistake this for
an appeal for sympathy, the orphan can have sev-
eal carloads of that delivered F. o. b. from any of the
charitable organizations in the country. The present
demand is for trade skekes pIasters and other pieces
OF silver. Selah."-(Rochester Union.
