A BELArED PRAYER.-A good anec-
dote is related Of young minister
who was supplying the pulpit of the
Wrentham Congregational church
during the absence Of its pastor, the
Rev. Elisha Fisk, better known as
Priest Fisk" whose pastorate In this
church covered a period Of fifty-six
years.
Upon opening the Bible the young
minister came across the following
notice, which he read: "Mr. Libbius
Porter desires the prayers Of the con-
gregation. that his loss may be sane
titled for his good"
Signs Of repressed merriment ap-
peared through the congregation, but
the cause was a complete mystery to
the young minister, who upon arriv-
ing at the home Of Mr.. Fisk for lunch
INQUIRED of Mrs. Fisk the cause Of the
unseemly hilarity.
She informed him that he had read
an old notice used by her husband as
a mark. 1t had been presented by Mr.
Porter. year or two before upon the
death Of his third wife. Mr. Porter
with his fourth bride, sat in the con-
gregation while 1T was being read

PRESIDENTS IN RETIREMENT.
Only Ten Have Lived Longer Than
Mr.. Cleveland After Leaving Office.

Only Ten Have Lived Longer Than
Mr.. Cleveland After Leaving Office.
Only ten men who have held the Of
flee of president reached or surpassed
Mr.. Cleveland's present age Of 6S;
only six exceed it by so much as ten
years, and none exceeded 1t by quite
twenty years. Only ten presidents
have survived their retirement from
office longer than Mr.. Cleveland, and
four Of these lived to a great age.
Washington, who survived his re-
tirement less than three years, thought
himself an old man when he was first
made president at the age Of 81. John
Adams survived his retirement a quar-
ter of a century. and his son, John
Quincy, who outlived his retirement
nearly twenty years, was the only
president who had nearly as conspicu-
GUS a public career after occupying the
presidency as before.
Monroe's six years after his retire.
ment from office were passed In COM
parative obscurity and his dying hours
were embittered by scandalous accu-
sations in connection with Jackson's
seizure Of Spanish forts In Florida
during the first Seminole war.
Polk outlived his retirement less
than a year, and there is every reason
to suppose that had Arthur compassed
his ambition Of an election to the
presidency in 1884 he would have died
early in his term, for he outlived his
retirement less than two years.
Tyler, who outlived his retirement
twenty years, emerged from obscurity
near the end of his life to preside over
the vain peace convention on the eve
of the civil war. He afterwards serv-
ed in the congress Of the Confederate
states.
Buchanan lived more than seven
years after his retirement and took
the opportunity to write what was In
effect a defence Of his administration.
Jefferson and Jackson were the on
ly presidents who exercised a really
powerful influence over party councils
after their permanent retirement from
public Office, though Van Buren, was
an active politician as long as he had
hope of denomination at the hands OF
any party.
Johnson was the only retired presi-
dent to enter the United States senate
and the younger Adams was the only
one to serve/in the house Of represen-
tatives.
Cleveland and Harrison have beer
the only retired presidents to become
conspicuously successful in private
business. 1t is not generally known
that Mr.. Cleveland still serves as con-
sulting counsel in law cases, in which
his experience in the Office Of presi-
dent may be supposed to have given
him special qualifications as an advis'
er. His fees in such cases are large
as were those of Mr.. Harrison as
legal adviser and a lecturer on consti'
tutional law.-New York Sun.

GRATUIToUs BUT PERTINENT-The
sub b-dispensary sales for three months
ending February % amounted to ST.
219,618.35. To pay this bill would re-
uuire 34,S46 bales of cotton weighing
500 pounds at cents the pound. In
12 months, at the same rate, 139,3S4
bales would be needed. Estimating
the crop of the state at one million
Tales, 1t appears that nearly one-sev-
enth of it goes for drinks, and this
without taking account Of the blind
tiger" sales and importations for per-
sonal consumption. Suppose that the
boil weevil had been in this state and
had destroyed 13s,3S4 bales Of cotton
and the people had drunk no dispen-
sary whisky, how much the worse
would they have been now? In short,
which would most promote the gener-
al welfare, the boil weevil or the dis
pensary? This question is not copy
righted, ard any of the college debat-
ing societies in the state are free to
discuss it.-News and Courier.
