Vermont Congregational Churches.

The annual statistics have been COM
pleted and forwarded to the editor of the
Yearbook Every church was finally
heard from, though some of the late re-
ports were quite incomplete.
Forty churches are served by installed
pastors, 115 by pastors uninstalled, II
by supplies, IS by licentiates, and minis
tiers of other denominations, and 10 are
vacant. This is better showing as to
pastoral supply than at the same time
last year.
The membership of the churches Jan. 1,
1896, was 81, 543, gain of 400 in the
year. Of these 4131 were non resident,
43 less than last year. The additions
were 1856 by confession, 449 by letter
total, 1885. The removals were $50 by
death, AS by letter, 10S by discipline
and revision OF ROLL total, 936. The ex-
cess of additions over removals is thus
800, leaving the usual discrepancy be-
tween the gain as so reckoned, and as
reckoned from the number of reported
members, but the difference is smaller
than usual.
Sunday School membership stands at
22,169, gain of 476, and average attend
ance at II ,976; 176 Christian Endeavor
societies report membership of 1851, as
against III societies and 1855 members
last year.
Benevolent contributions are reported
at $5S,697, which is gain Of $4403
from last year. Home expenditures
stand at $201 ,223, being $4712 less than
the previous year. II the figures could be
obtained from six churches which have
omitted this item, the loss would be less.
The families under care of the churches
are given as 16, $50, gain of COS. There
were COS baptisms OF adults and 253 OF
infants.
Taken altogether, thestatistics show the
year to have been an unusually prosper
Gus one with the Congregationalchurche
Of Vermont.

Some evening when the summer flowers by gentle
winds are shaken,
l shall perhaps have gone to sleep no more on earth
to- owaken;
Then all the Nature things loved robe,i in the
sunsets splendor-
Shall oer my grassy couch bend low caressingly and
tender.
For well knew we each others way, most surely
they must miss me.
The flowers above me shed dew tears anl gently
try to kiss me.
Some evening birds will sir g their songs when no
longer listen:
Upon the chalices OF green the diamond dew drops
glister;
The shadows weave their rare designs in mossy
forest reaches;
The waves softly on the sands OF shout along
the beaches
They shall answer not word to these famil ar
And laugh with sympathetic joy when Natures
choir reioices
Yet shall think with loving soul of all those bean
teous features.
Remembering the years made glad by Natures
scenes and creatures:
Mid all the matchess joys of heaven, above stars
brightly burning,
may recall these earthly joys with gratitude and
yearning.
SO murmnr winds, Groom crystal waves. sing birds
while God will let you
When in brighter world than yours your friend
will not forget you.
And there the same kind Father reigns who Clothed
the earth with beauty.
Who made its mountains and its seas its LANDSCAPES
fresh and fruity;
No incense offered upon Him bv fragrant scented
flower
Or song of insect chOirs tuned low or bird in tenn
Piled bower,
Is lost or wasted in His sight, ard carths enchant-
ments vernal,
lE memory and in what they mean are heavenly
and eternal.

THE STORY OF THE GHOST OF ROBERT
TRENT AND IT'S SILENT REVENGE.

On the morning of the 18th of April,
| 1868, the newspapers of Philadelphia
chronicled 4 fearful crime. Early the
| night before 4 young man named Rob
ert Trent had murdered his wife and
himself. They had been married only
a year, and those neighbors who had
observed their unfagging devotion to
each other during that time had made
pretty little romances out of it. They
were both from the ''cOuntrv
name applied to a thriving town in the
interior Of the State. Trent had in
herited few thousands from his father
and, as he had been given a course in
chemistry and medicine, he brought his
bride to the city and establisheda a drug
business on a small scale. They were
intelligent and, to a degree refined, but
they were also eminently unsophiscat-
ed and they fell into temptation. One
day Trent left the store in the custody
Of his clerk and went down town That
night he ,iubilantly told his wife that he.
was on the high road to fortune Such
terms as 'margins'' and rise in the
market were as Greek to her and she
heard listlesslv. Her interest then was
centercd in needle work-tilv knit
socks, caps, laces and what not such as
brides Of not quite year work upon.
Unfortunately. Trent had made Il profit
with his shares of stock, with the usual
result. In the space of a few months
time, there remained no inheritance: no
