Island District had been well prospered, and
the evidences of the healthy state of the 01st
riot were ample. The benevolent institu-
tions of the district had been liberally sus-

ed to $180,000. “The clhurch extensiiins now

good condition. At the close of i s first 40
years of its existence, it had four circuits,
nine preachers, and two thousand members.
Thirty-six yearslater-tlie present period—
it has forty-four circuits and stations and as-
many ministers, and six thousand members.
The centenary offerings had not been as

—Ex-Senator Ba ard has been appointed
by the Governor of elaware to fill the _va-
eancy in the United States Senate, occasion-
ed by the death of Senator Geor Read Rid-
dle. Senator Bayard opposed t_ e test- oath,
and, "11.90 it passed, resigned his seat in dis-
Men’s Christian Association of that city is
enjoying the success wich its noble work dc.
serves. Its ofiicers have recently bought
seven lots of ground on the southwest cor-
ner of Fourth Avenue and Twenty third
street, opposite the Academy of Design, on
which it is proposed to erect a handsome
buildin . The property has a front of about
eightyd‘ive feet on Fourth avenue, and one
hundred and seventy-five feet on Twenty-
third street. The situation is an excellent
one, and as business is extending up town,
the ground will rapidly increase in value.
The plans have not yet been agreed upon,
but it is expected that the building will be
five stories in height, with a handsome brown
stone front and a mansard roof. The first
floor and basement will be rented for busi-
nesspurposes. On the second floor there
will be a large public hall,’ to be used for
lectures and concerts. This room will prove
a valuable acquisition to the section of the
city in which it is built, and it is believed a
handsome income can be derived from its
rentals. On the upper floors there will be a
library, reading room, and committee rooms
for the use of the members.
Feeling that there was great need of an.
organization to extend kindly sympathy to
the thousands of young men in the city who
were without homes or domicile, fourteen
years ago some philanthropic citizens formed
the Young Men’s Christian Association, for
the purpose of elevating this class morally,
socially and physically. The first public
meeting was held in the lecture-room of the
Mercer street Presbyterian Church on the
28m of J one, 1852. Chancellor Ferris deliv-
ered the preliminary address. The Society
was organized in June of the same year.
Two rooms were obtained in the Stuyvesant
Institute, and formally opened on the 20th of
September, 1852, when an address was deliv-
ered by Daniel Lord. .
In the spring of 1855 the association re-
moved to Clinton Hall, where it remained
one year. In 1856 it obtained the use of a
dwelling attached to the University building.
on Waverly place. In 1859 the society again
moved. and occupied two rooms at the cor-
ner of Broadway and Twelfth street, where
it remained until 1861, when three rooms
were secured in the Bible House. In 1864
the association rented the building on Fifth
avenue which it now occupies.
As the members became engaged in their
Work its importance and magnitude soon
made the field an interesting one. A help-
ing hand was extended to young men who
were crowded into uncomfortable boarding
houses, andthey were invited into cheerful
reading and sitting-rooms, where they found
a cordial welcome. Freelectures on various
and attractive subjects were given, and many
Were benefited in this manner. Committees
Were appointed to secure employment for
young men of good character; to. secure
boarding-houses for strangers where the so-
cial influences would be good ; a literary
society and Bible class were formed,and
committees .to secure members and visit the
sick were appointed. Recently two branch
orgmfizatious have been formed, and a third
is contemplated.

THE MINISTEB’S GUESTS.
Elinor Blake was deeply in love with the
Rev. Aliston Granger, and her affection was
reciprocated. So they were married.
Mr. Granger lived in the country; and if
you want to know what kind of life his was,
just you go and change yourself into a min-
ister, and settle somewhere just out of a city,
with all the inhabitants of which you are
one of Whom will consider it an especial du<
ty to come out and take dinner or tea. with
you a half dozen times a year, and all of
whom will consider it an insult if your wife
don’t have three kinds of cake, and fresh
milk, eggs, and honey on the table. 01
course, peoplewlio live in the country are
expected to have all these in great abun-
dance.
Mrs. Granger was a very pleasant, agreea-
ble woman, and tried her best to have every-
thing smooth, and she was overrun with
company.
A minister, among other things, is expect-
ed to keep a hotel, and to keep it~in a way
our modern landlords don’t very well un-
derstand, viz—without money and without
price.
It must be open night and day, and hot
meals served at all hours. Nobody must be
refused admittance. People who are too
low to stay at the tavern are sent to the
minister-’3. Tract pcdlars, book pedlars,
agents, women’s rights lecturers—everybody,
in fact, must go to the minister's house for
entertainment.
And then, if the poor clergyman, thinking
of his overworked wife and the consump-
tive state of his larder, ventures to hint that
his salary is a small one, he is piously re-
minded that St. Paul and St. Peter, and
those other five fellows 61‘ that epoch, did
not dream of receiving any salary whatso-
ever.
But whether they kept tavern and enter-
tained all creation upon free cost does not
appear.
Mrs. Granger was not a strong woman,
and having been brought up delicately, her
burdens fell heavily. They were too poor to
employ help, and she did all her work, ex-
cept her washing.
The people who came visiting her never
volunteered their assistance about anything.
Of course not. It would have been too vul-
gar. And most of the ladies were invalids
—-(did you never notice that those people
who go visiting most are usually out of
health ?) ,
But we, on the present occasion, have on-
ly to do with the Rev. Asa Drowne and
wife, and their four children, Abel, Priscilla,
Rachel Ann, and Ahasuerus Nicodemus.
Our story is about them, and the host of
other people who visited the minister shall
rest in obscurity.
The Drownes arrived late one Saturday
afternoon, when Mrs. Gran er was almost
dead With the headache, havmg just got rid
of three ministers and a colporteur. Mr.
Granger had just finished his sermon for the
morrow, the doors were locked, and the
family were about retiring for the night.
A ring at the front door. Mrs. Granger’s
heart sank; Mr. Granger drew a sigh and
went to ,tbefront door.
0n the steps were two trunks, as many
baudboxes, several bundles, a poodle dog, a
fat, 1‘ ed man, a. woman of about the
same tyle, and four children.
“My dear Brother Granger !" cried the
man, seizing Mr. Granger’s hand, and giving
it a heart-rending wring, “I am the Rev.
Asa Drowne, traveling itinerant, and this is
my wife, and these are my children. We
came at once to your house, because we
knew you would be mortally offended if we
did not. My wife is a great invalid! A
dreadful sufferer ! Been sick for seven years 1
And I will speak of it now in the beginning
-—.we must sleep where there is a fire!
wouldn’t have Eliza Jane sleep away from
the fire for a thousand dollars! And I want
your wife to see that the sheets one well aired
before an o in fire, and let them be fine,
very fine! y wife is nervous, exceedingly
nervous; she could not sleep a wink in
course sheets. Linen is best, if you have
them.”
“I should die before morning if I had to
sleep in course sheets!" cried Mrs. Drowne,
a stout, fat-faced woman of forty-five or fit-
ty; “1 came very near going to my last
home about three weeks ago from slee ing
on an unbleached pillow case! 'IPiiey
thoughtlwas dead for over two or three
hours i"
Mr. Granger waited on them into the sit-
ting-room, and then presented them to his'
Wife

claimed rs. Drowne. “I cannot sit a mo-
mentin an uncushioned chair! My spine
would perish! And I will take a little tea
and a bowl of oysters, or a piece of cold
mince pic; I feel so faint." 3
“ And I will trouble you for a cup of hot
coffee i" said Mr. Drowne; “it will be a sort
of stay to my stomach till supper is ready.
