would eventually lose its population, and
the land become a barren waste. To the
surprise of many, however, each year Wit-
nesscs an increase in the number of inhabi-
tunts, and in the price of land. There has
been much discussion among the real estate
dealers as to. Where 0 than might settle with

scenery and healthful atmosphere which are

Stamford and N crwalk have been spoken of
as possessing many attractions worthy of
the attention of those who desire a country
home. H.015 way between Stamford and
Norwalk is the Village of Dorian, pleasantly
situated on the New Haven Railroad, near
the Sound. There are many fine farms in
the vicinity, and the general appearance of
the country is by no means unattractive.
Improvements were commenced afew years
ago, and today the shaded streets and taste-
fully-painted cottages show that the inhabi-
tants have notbeen idle. Many New Yorkers
reside here, and for the most part the society
rises to a commanding hight,afi‘ording fine
views of the Sound, and of the neighboring
country. Villa plots are being laid out in
various parts 'of the town, and as one would.
naturally suspect, eligible building sites are
rapidly advancing in value: Most of the
deuce of good taste and a liberal expendi-
ture. The accommodations at the depot are
much better than one often finds in places
of larger size on other roads. The New Ha.
ven Railroad Company should at least be
credited with the example they have set
toward making the sitting-rooms of their
depotsrespectable for men and women.
Mr. M. E. Mead is laying out streets and
inducing business men to come in and build.
He has recently erected a barn near where
he proposes to erect his mansion,which pos~
sesses many improvements of real.practical
value not often found in ordinary ones, The
floors are made of 'concrete, and unlike
much Of this material,01t gives great satis-
faction. The mangers, stalls, and ventilating
appliances are patterned after improved
models. The village cOntains a population
of about 1,200, 12 stores, 2 schools, 2
churches—Methodist and Congregational—,
a real estate and insurance ofilce, 2 black-
smith shops, a tin shop, 1 carriage factory, 1
room. Among the fine places that may be

Bancnnn ON Bonus—Few of the great’
preachers of the country are so felicitous in'
illus'li'sting their subjects jwith appropriate
anecdotes as the Rev. Henry Ward Beecher. ‘
And, like all men of genuine humor, he hqs.
the knack to say very droll things with a
face of the most impassive gravity. At the
National Christian Convention held last
year in .this city he was called upon to
address that body on “ How to Conduct
Prayer-Meetings,” and for an hour held the
audience with amingling of fun and pathos
and sentiment and wisdom such as one but
seldom enjoys. After the adjournment of
the morning session shoutfifly men—mostly
young, and identified with the hardest of
Christian work in the most unpromising
fields—gathered about him, in order to wrest
from him some of thesecrels of his success.
The results were too valuable to pass With-
out enduring rccord. The questioning lasted
nearly an hour and a half. During that
time Mr. Beecher was in the centre of a
densely packed crowd, and not given a
moment’s rest. The questions were some-
times rambling, but nearly all tended to un-
cover an inward experience that others be:
sides those then present would be glad to
see. Omitting, of course, many things, the
questions and answers were very nearly as
follows:
“ Mr. Beecher, what do you do with bore;
in your prayer meeting i” .
“ Well, I try. to be patient with them.
Christ when He was on earth, was troubled
;
-I not be? I try to educate them, and make
something out of them. The man Who is a
bore now may become an effective worker
if oneis only patient.”—mei's Magazine.
with'bores, and I say to myself, why should '
venous—From the report of the state libra-
rian relating to registration of births, mar.-
nagesand deaths in Connecticut, we find
that during the year 1808 there were 12,469
births registered. an increase of 440 over the
highest number heretofore "pom, Illa an
increase of 1,170 over the number for one
year ten years ago. There was a gain for
every county except New London, which
reported a less number than for either of the
two preceding years. The excess of births
over deaths was 4,920; 52.26 out of a bun-
dred were females. The tables show that
for the last twenty-one years the menths
most prolific of births were March and Au-
gust. In two cases triplets have been born,
and in 122,twins. There were 128 illegiti-
mate births, There were 4,734 marriages in
1808. New Haven and New Londou coun-
ties had more marriages in this year than in
any preceding. During the year 478 di-
vorcca were granted. . Of these 180 are cred-
ited to New Haven, some of them undoubt-
edly being of persons Who have come from
New York to avail themselves of the facili-
ties which our laws afford them for severing
the marriage tie.
Povnn'rx AN ADVANTAGE—A poor man
never has any taxes to‘ pay. He can sit
down and laugh the assessors to scorn, and
read off the big appropriations made by
councils with a feeling of indescricable ex-

‘HAnDsnxLL’s AnnunNT AGANIS'i' Mrs-
sron SUNDAr Sermon—Not long since a
missionary of the American Sunday School
Union held a meeting in a' mountain edunty
of Tennessee, in a section. where they had
never had a Sunday School. He told them
what a blessing the Sunday School Would
he to their community, and the people
seemed to favor the idea. But an old dea-
con of the “ Hard-shell” sect became uneasy
and withdrew front the meeting-with two or
three others; and they took counsel together
under a tree. The old deacon said it would
not do to sustain this Sunday School work;
that these missionaries were going about
everywhere preaching the (Nepal; and in a
short time, if things went on in this way,
the Gospel would be preached in all the
earth, and then the end of the world .would
certainly come, as the Bible . declares. So
they returned to the house, and told the
people, that if they did not want'the world
to be burned up, they must not listen to the
Sunday School missionary. Superstition
and ignorance prevailed, and they had no-
Bundsy School at that time. They are now
learning a more excellent way. In riding
home, the missionary visited several fami-
lies. In six of them they found twenty-
three persons, most of them grown, who
could not read the Word of
Life. ,

the Renaissance called for free thought, it At this hour you may hear far in the dis-
put forth Protestantism, us the tree tance the quick bark of a single coyote. A
moment after the yelping of a number of
wolves answers this first call. The pack is
assembling rapidly, and by the time dark—
ness has shut out your view of the nearer
surroundings you will listen to a bowling-
match—a sort of preliminary trial of voice,
which invariably denotes the surrounding
of your camp by the new comers. This
bowl is short, and seems to be executed by
a chosen few. . A silence of a few moment’s
duration follows. Then the Whole band
breaks out, and the unearthly noise which
greets your ear is second to nothing in all
the long catalogue of noises. Kit Carson
boarded, but diffused. It elevates the masses, averred that it was «I onjy a little dispute as in
to which coyote had, as the Winner of the
match, the right to take the stakes (steaks)?
It is quite impossible to do full justice to
this wolf music. There is no racket known
to the inhabitants of the more civilized sec
tions of our country which. will compare
with it. All the felines in a neighborhood
would not make a noise which would begin
to equal wolf music. The hubbub to be
heard at a session of the Board of Brokers
is a faint coinparrso' n.
Hideous as this wolf concert would seem
to cars unused to it, there is no more satiso
factory lullaby to the habitual roamer over
the Plains, for in the language ‘of the sec-
tion, “ If any red-skin should take it under
his scalp to look about camp, every cuss of
them coyotes would shut his trap and Wake
the fellers up with the quiet.” As the small
hours of the night come on, a few of the
wolves will steal into camp to secure edibles
'which have been carelessly left within their
reach” At times they are'eo bold as to at-
tempt the theft of a baversack of food upon
which the head of the sleeper is .pillowcd,
but seldom if ever will they make any attack
upon the persons of the campers. As dawn
comes the bowling ceases, and a majority of
the coyotes betake themselves to their bur-
rows. Those wolves which linger retire to
a safe distance fi-om camp, and there, squat-
removsl of camp, hoping to secure a few
scraps of food which may have been thrown
away or abandoned.
It is an old saying among Plainsmen,
within rifle-shot of camp.” A considerable
experience goes with tho Plainsmsu tobcer
him out in this Insertion. “States fellers
shoots cry a live thing. as_jumpa in their
eight, whether itia any ’count to them or
no," remarked an old hunter. Possibly this
waste of ammunition may, to some extent,
account for the supposed keen scent of the
coyotes.—'-Hmper’s Magazine.
