WEALTHY PRELATES.

These brief words, remarks the Mar
quise de Fontenoy. constitute the en-
tire last viii and testament or Bishop
Fenel0n, one OF the most Famous
French devines ofthe past century.
and they occur TO ones mind IN perus7

the bishops and archbishops Of the
Church Of England receive very big
salaries the average being $4,000 ~
$40 900 year for bishop. and $4,000
a year for the archbishop Of Canter-

In homes strong light discovers
such slight defaults as failed to meet
The blinded eyes of lovers,
uhv need we care to ask? Who dreams

The readiest spark discloses!
For still in mutual sufferance lies
The secret of true living;
