Queer God-parentS.

During the last century, and even at
the beginning OF the present one, a
strange custom existed at the baptism
OF the infant sclons OF fashionable
Roman families. Instead OF inviting
princes, dukes, and other noble lords
and ladies to serve as got parents, q
monk, beggar, or some male or female
pilgrim was requested to act, and the
infant was held in the arms OF his
humble godfather or godmother. On
the Goth of June, 1882. the little
daughter OF the Princess Colonna was
held, tenuta, at the baptismal font by
a poor female pilgrim. Soon after o
Deggar woman, whose "station" was
at the Church OF San Marcelo, became
the godmother OF the infant daughter
OF Princess Barberini; in the year l 1855
q beggar "held" the son OF Prince Ros-
poll, and was lavishly rewarded, for
he received as a guerdon free mainten-
ance to the end of his life. The Car
melite monk Fra Ella was often invit-
ed to act as godfather, in turn for
which his monastery obtained large
gifts, and crowds OF people hocked to
witness the ceremony whenever this
mendicant friar discharged this duty
amid dukes and princes.

The Pastor Issues a Notice.

The pastor OF a Congregational
church ofSomerville, Mass. distributes
a neat printed sheet containing the
church notices, in the pews, in lieu of
reading them. This was one OF the
recent notices: "It may not be map
propriate to call attention of the
audience to the bad habit they have
fallen into of watching people who
come in late. especially those who
have new clothes. These late corners
are modest people, and it must be a
serious annoyance to have their
raiment a subject of remark. They
wear it unconsciously, and prefer that
you would not notice them. The
Sunday services are at 1870, and at
7:3O, for the benefit of all who desire to
spend an hour in worship; but for ali
those who have recently visited the
tailor and miHiner and dressmaker,
the morning service begins anywhere
from 1870 to- IL, and the evening
service $50 For the benefit OF the
very tardy ones the announcement is
hereby made that the benediction will
be the only portion OF the service in
which they are respectfully invited to
participate" New York Tribune.
