THE COOTRY PARSOX. He Works the "Soldier of the Legiuu" on His Diagonal Comrade. Tlie parson of a country church was lying in his bed; three months' arrears of salary were pillowing his bead: his couch was strewn with tradesmen's hills that pricked his sides like tliorns, and nearly all life's common ills were goading him with horns. The deacon sat beside him as the moments ticked away and bent his head to catch the words his pastor had to say: "If I never sliall rise from this hard lied on which I lie, if my warfare is ac complished and it Ls time (or me to die, lake a message to the sextou before I ass away; tell him fires are for Decem ber and 0en doors for Slay. Tell him w hen lie lays the notices upon the pul pit's height to shove them 'neath the cushion, far out of reach and sight And ''len he hears the preacher's voice in whispers soft expire, that is the time to f-lam tlie door and rattle at the fire. And tell the other deacons, too, all through '.he busy week to Iiang their boots up in the sun to catch a Sunday squeak. "With steel shod cane to prod the man who comes to sleep and snore; and use the boys who laugh in church to mop the vestry floor. There's another, too, tlie woman who talks the sermon through; tell her I will not mind her buzz my hearing hours are few: tell her to hang lier mouth up some Sunday for a minute and listen to a text, at least, witliout a whisper in it. And tell the board of trustees not to weep with bitter tears, for I can't lie any deader now than they liave been for years. And tell half my congregation I'm glad salvation's free, for that's the only chance for them between the desk and me. And farewell to the choir how the name my memory racks! If they could get their voices up as they do get up their backs vl13' the stars would hear their music and the welkin would Vcjoice, while the happy congregation could not hear a single voice. But tell them I forgive them, and oh, tell them that I said I wanted them to sing for me when you're sure that I am dead." His voice was faint and hoarser, but it gave a laughing break, a kind of gurg ling chuckle like a minister might make. And the deacon lie rose slowly, and stern iy he looked down upon the parson's twinkling eye with a portentous frown, ond he stiffly said "good morning" as he went off in las ire, for the deacon was the leader of tliat amiable choir. Bob Burdette in Brooklyn Union. DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR. CENSUS OFFICE, Washington, D. C, May 1, 1889. To the Medical Profession: The various medical associations and the medical profession will be glad to learn that Lr. John S. Billings, surgeon 17. S. Army, has consented to take charge of the Report on the Mortality und Vital Statistics of the United States us returned by the Eleventh Census. As the United States has no system of registration of vital statistics, such as is relied upon by other civilized nations for the purpose of ascertaining the actual movement of population, our census af fords tlie only opportunity of obtaining near an approximate estimate of the birth and death rates of much the larger jart of the country, which is entirely unprovided with any satisfactory sys tem of State and municipal registration. In view of this, the Census Office, dur ing the month of May this year, will is sue to tlie medical profession throughout the country "Physician's Registers" for the purpose of obtaining more accurate returns of deaths than it ia possible for the enumerators to make, It is earnest ly hoped that physicians in every part of the country will co-operate with the Census Office in this important work. The record should be kept from June 1, 1889, to May 31, 1890. Nearly 26,000 of these registration books were filled up and returned to the office in I860, and nearly all of them used for statistical purposes. It in hoped that double this number will be obtained for the Elev enth Census. Physicians not receiving Registers can obtain them by sending their names and addresses to the Census Office, and, with the Register, an official envelope which requires no stamp will be provided for their return to Washington. If all medical and surgical practicion rs throughout the country will lend their aid, the mortality and vital statis tics of the Eleventh Census will be more comprehensive and complete than they have ever been. Every Physician should take a personal pride in having his report as full and accurate as it is possible to make it. It is hereby promised that all informa tion obtained through this source shall be held strictly confidential. Robert Z. Porter, Superintendent of Census. iThe man who can run a newsnaner tbout being criticised, ceasured and tened has never vet been found. is a barren ideality, beautiful to about, but iocofmbU of talking on morality and associating w-itli vul gar humanity. He i a dream, n oVIu sion, a Utopian fancy. It is as impos sible for a iiewsjiajKer man to plea- ovrrvliiJv s it is for everybody to nliv a iwwsisuier man, and tlie sooner he makes up his mind to that t.il,Wn fk.4: tlie better for all con cerned. If lie works liard for public good, lie receives public ceusure for humamtv is selfish and seldom places public concern above private interests. If he compliments merit, be is censured bv jealous demerit; if he approves mor ality he is censured by immorality, if he tries to be fair, he is censured by the un fair, if he makes a mistake, few are found to overlook it, or to ajxilogize for him. He is always before the public and always subject to an' analysis of those wlio conitose the public. No mat ter how good his motive, how innocent his purjiose or how studied his writings, lie is picked to pieces, misre presented, maligned, ridiculed, sometimes licked and seldom ever defended. Yes, it is an impossibility for a newsMir man to please everybody. As well attempt to cliain tlie winds or stop tlie furious light ning. Ulysses Dispatch. FINAL PROOF NOTICES.
