THE WAYS OF VERGERS.
A Worthy Class, Says This Writer
Whose Intelligence Ii Much
MaligAed.

If in the books of a decade or two ago
a verger was mentioned it was only to
make fun of him. Thackeray had small
respect for the worthy class and Dick
ems none at ali, and the fcebler nOvelists
initiated their masters. Professedly
serious writers were nearly as bad; a
verger was supposed 10 BE- synonymous
with ignorance and pretension. Per-
sonally | am inclined to think vergers a
much maligued class. have met with
ignorance among them, but the CASES
are SO few that the fingers of one hand
would be sufficient to enumerate them;
l have far oftener met with knowledge
and enthusiasm that have put me t.
blush.
Let me give one instance: Once at
Ely remarked to the then verger when
I had seen a great deal. making my
modest offering as l spoke, that as l
had to get across London and catch Il
train to the west must go. The verger
gripped me by the arm. "Young man"
said he, "your train may be late, and II
you miss it you can get bed in the
town. but God Almighty may never
give you another chance Of seeing Ely
cathedral" OF course l stopped, and
of course lost my train. The trouble
vergers are at to increase their kLowl-
edge has struck me with amazenent.
There is one who. saving up his scanty
wages, has made himself personally ac-
quainted with the great continental
fanes which were built about the same
time and in similar style 10 the cathe-
drai he so delightfully."- describes.
Ihave frequently had vergers willing
to show ME round during the hours the
building was supposed to be closed.
and even to light up parts in order that

some detail or other. on one point /

After an absence in Flori-

a few days rest at Lexington, l went

Susan L. Walton, and 10 F. Walton,
her son, and his very pleasant family.
