saw, is the one entitled, “The Beautiful

D. This is a work that should be in every
home, as it is so deeply interesting, and
wonderful, so thrilling that a keen desire
is at once aroused that will lead to a more
general reading of the scriptures. The
book is alike fascinating to the young and
old, and every child old enough to read
should have the book at band.”

An exchange very aptly remarks: “It
takes a minister two or three minutes to
perform a wedding ceremony. He makes
no charge, but is generally handed a five
dollar bill—sometimes a ten—and gets a
good supper besides. The list of presents
, is sent to the editor and requires two or
three hours of hard work to put it. in
type. He makes no charge for it, but he
gets no five dollar bill. Perhaps he gets '
acme pieces of dry broken cake and sells
an extra copy of his paper for a nickel;
but just as probably the parties are not
even subscribers to his paper, and beg a
copy of his neighbor to cut the list of
presents out."

Rev. Father Slocum goes to Washington
this weekfor a few days’ visit to see the
Nation’s capital, listen to the dreary tariff

he has to attend up in Massacliusctts,) so
that he might protect him from the snares
and pit falls which might environ a rural
pastor going alone to that wicked city.
But it is a comfort to us, in our own tem-
porary absence from the capital, that Con-
gress is not to be left without the benefit
of the clergy.

On Sunday afternoon as Mr. David B.
Ogden of Wilton, was driving a team of
spirited horses before a light pleasure
wagon, his team became. frightened near
the bridge and started to run. Mr. Ogden
was unable to stop them or even check
their speed, but with commendable judge?
merit and nerve he clung to the reins and
kept them in the middle of the road and
guided them in their mad career clear‘of
all other teams or obstacles. They ran
from the borough at breakneck speed
down West avenue to South Norwalk and
below, and finally slowed up out of wind
down on the Wilson Point road near the
stone Moss house on the hill, where Mr.
Ogden was well nigh exhausted by his ef-
forts to check. them. No damage was
done, either to horses, wagon or anything
along the road, thanks to the grit and
coolness of the plucky driver.
