than Weston, Gideon Merrick, Lucius

we here transcribe this epitaph of the
first named public servant, copied
from his tombstone: Jonathan Wes-
ton, died Jan. 22d, 1855. Aged 81.
He was the first postmaster of this
town and held the office until the
time of his death, "a years, without
intermission. He delighted in the
diffusion of useful knowledge and in
promoting the happiness of his fellow
creatures, trusting in God above for
salvation through faith in his son.

bered with so much kindness and
pleasure after the lapse of a half CEN

ENCOURAGEMENT FOR ,RAsrua.

Vermont Story Of Bishop Hall and 4
Negro Who Wanted to Join Church.
At a recent dinner which was at
tended by a number of clergymen,
President Buckham of the University
Of Vermont told the following of Bish-
op Hall of the Episcopal diocese Of
Vermont, in response to some good
natured chaff about the liberal views
Of the Congregational church and the
ease with which almost anybody could
join it.
He said he had heard of a negro
who had many times applied for mem
bership in st. Paul's church at Bur-
lington, but had not been able to sat
isfy the bishop that his state Of mind
entitled him to admission. The negro
had been advised to pray that his
spiritual condition might improve.
After doing so he made a new ap-
plication. The bishop said to him:
well, Erastus, have you prayed as
I told you tot"
"Yas, indeedy, sub; l done prayed

GAMES AND PAsTIMES,

The game of polo was played CEN
turtles ago in Persia and India. Even
the natives of Bokhara play a similar
game of ball on horseback.
The game of SWITCHBOARD which
seems to be losing it's popularity, is
an old pastime. 1t was followed en-
Enthusiastically by the nobility of the
court of James l.
Handball is among the oldest of our
games. According to Homer, it orig
mated about the time of the fall of
Troy, and though 1t has passed
through many changes, it's principles
are much the same as when it was
played by the ancients.
Horse-racing originated in Eng
land in the reign of King Henry II.
Our forefathers were captivated by
this pastime, and large wagers were
often won and lost in favorite horses.
Later, about the time of James L., the
betting fell away from horse-racing
and the contests were run for prizes
of various sorts.
Bowling is one of our games that
originated in the Middle Ages. The
exact date of it's introduction Is OBJ
scure; but it has been clearly traced
to the thirteenth century. The first
bowling-greens were made in Eng
land. In bad weather these could not
be used to advantage, and this led to
the construction of covered bowling
alleys.
Our game of golf, or golf, as it was
formerly called, was a popular sport
in England and Scotland about the
beginning of the seventeenth century.
1t was played by the nobility, and
was the favorite pastime of Prince
Henry, SOL of James l. Golf sticks
were then called "bands," and golf
balls were made of leather and stuffed
with feathers. The principle OF the
game was practically the same then
as it is now.

ODD EATING T

Brazilians never eat when they
drink, mol drink when they eat; and
the Tartars continually persist In pull
ing a guest by the ear until he drinks.
Maldive islanders retire to the dark
est part of the houses and hang cur.
tains about them, so that none OF
their fellowmen may see them at their
meal.
When they desire to show a mark
of great esteem, the negroes OF Ardra
drink from the same cup at the same
time, and the King of Loango used
to eat and drink in two separate
houses.
The Philippine islander will not eat
a meal alone. Whenever a Filipino
finds himself without a companion
with whom to share his meal, he Will
abstain from eating until he has
found one.
A strange custom prevails in KAN
chtaka, where a man who wishes to
entertain a guest invites him into a
cabin, which is heated to an excessive
temperature, and then presses him
with food until he is in a state OF tor
por. Instances of men dying at these
orgies have been known.
The Tahitians, though a naturally
sociable race, dine separately. wen
the man and his wife do not eat to-
gehter. Each member of the family
has his own f~ood-basket. They take
their places about five yards apart,
and then, turning their backs to each
other, dine amid a profound silence.

Could Tell It Another way.

Many years ago an old and well-to-
do farmer in Western New York had
something of a reputation as a litigant.
He had a peculiar twist about his
mouth when he talked, due to some
muscular affection, which gave a strik-
ing effect to his utterances.
His old n%eighbors tell of a trip that
he made to see his lawyers on a GER
tain occasion when he had made up
his mind to have a lawsuit. He sat
down with his lawyer and laid out his
cas- before him at length. The lawyer
said: well, on that statement you
haven't any case" The old man
hitched his trousers nervously,
twitched his face, and hastily replied:
"Well, I can tell it another way"
