We regret to dismiss Cromer's creed after quoting only the con- cluding sentence: I believe the earth to be the proper location for Heaven -earth where all green- ness is not arsenical, like that of wall-paper. Non- seetarians are plentiful. These broad-minded men, who condemn dogmatism and denominationalism, stay away from church for fear of the charge of being narrow. Three men worship the God of Abraham, one of them says he adheres to the jewish religion Because it teaches Humanity and Truthg it is my religion by birth, and, since I could reason, by choice. It is the source from which all laws and religions have their origin. One man accepts in general the doctrine of evolution. Another sums his religion up in the Golden Rule.

A few men, in reply to the question concerning matrimony, thank Hrovidcnce fervently for preserving them in the bachelor state, while the rest of us, observing the placidity with which these five learned of the extent of implied authority with which the law arms married women, conclude that there must be some compensating advantages. , Rumor is our only source of information in respect to engagements, although some circumstances, such as the purchase of building lots, regular disappear- ances from Saturday until Monday, and the like may shed some light on thc investigation. No one will frankly acknowledge that he is engaged, without mak- ing it absurd by some qualifying remark. Bonsall says he is uncertain as to the claimant, with 5 to I on Agnes, and Baum, who seems to be a regular Don Juan Qslightly modiiiedy, claims eight summer and three winter engagements. One man has for- gotten whethcr he is engaged just now or not, being unwilling to burden his mind with such trivial mat- ters, while several others are waiting, either for the girl's reply or papa's approval. Another is anxious
