Growth of the Anglican Church.
About 45 years ago there began a de- cided revival in the English Church. It pleased the Holy Ghost to pour forth His
lyrace on the church in a wonderful way
inspiring it with new life and energy. Like all other /asting reformations its course has been from below upwards. Like all other great reformations it has gone on silently and steadily— Year after year the movement has continued in an accelerated ratio. And a vast change for the better has been wrought in the English church.
Clergy and laity alike have begun to re- alize what has always been true, that the English Church is not a mere state estab- lishment set up by men and by men to be thrown down, but that her origin and life are Divine.
Many now are the signs of life and zeal and energy and earnestness in the English Church,
The Spiritual character of a Bishop’s Office is now no longer ignored, and in Eng- land the number of Bishops has been in- creased and will very shorily be still further augmented,
America, which had vainly petitioned for one Bishop, has now
59 Dioceses and Missionary Bishopries,
638 Bishops,
314,000 Communicants, and
An income of about £1,560,000. (The American Church receives no State aid.)
India, where the preaching of the Gospel had been forbidden under the severest pen- alties, has now six Bishops and a large number of native clergy. In the English colonies there are now altogether sixty- two Bishops, whereas even forty years ago there was only two or three. The number of clergy in England has been very largely increased, and parishes formerly in charge of one or two are now worked by ten ora dozen clergy with numerous lay-helpers. The Bishops and Priests of the English Church now act with a greater sense of the responsibilities of their office. Whereas a few years ago hardly a Church except the Cathedrals, had daily service, and celebra- tions of the Holy Communion were few and far between, now in London alone there are nearly 250 churches with daily ser- vice.
There are service on Saints’ day in 415.
A weekly celebration of the Hoy Com- munion in 300.
A daily celebration in 42. :
In the disestablished Church of Scotland to take as an example one diocese—the Diocese of Brechin—will show how much has been done in less than 30 years.
In 1847 (when Bishop Forbes was conse- crated) there were 11 charges and 12 cler- gy; 1,710 communicants and 62 celebra- tions during the year. At the time of his death in 1875 there were 17 charges, 22 clergy, 3,754 communicants, and 1,004 celebrations. The only place of worship which Bishop Forbes found on caming into residence in the chief town of his diocese, Dundee, was an ugly room over a bank. At his death there were three churches in the town itself and two in the suburbs, none ef them architecturally contemptible.— Ceylon Gazette.

Ante-Nuptial Indebtedness of Mar- ried Women.
A correspondent of the Moncton Times inquires as follows :—
**In the case of a man marrying a woman who is in debt, does the law hold him re- sponsible for her indebtedness ? ”
ANsSWER.—In a general sense, no. Sec- tion 17 of the Married Women’s Property Act says clearly that ‘‘a husband shall not, by reason of any marriage solemnized after the second day of March, 1872, be liable for the debts of his wife contracted before marriage, but the wife shall be liable to be sued therefor, and any property belonging to her shall be liabie te satisfy such debts, as if she had continued unmarried.” <A hus- band is liable for his wife’s pre-nuptial debts only where he takes an interest in her property under any contract of settle- ment on marriage, and then only to the ex- tent or value of such interest and no more. At the same time, a woman having real or personal property in her own right before marriage holds the same position in regard to it after marriage as if she had continued a feme sole. A married woman may engage in business or employment on her own be- half, and her interests therein are the same as if she were single. She can sue and be sued in her own person. Further, any mar- ried woman may become a stockholder or member of any bank, insurance company, or any other incorporated company or asso- ciation, as fully and effectually as if she were a feme sole, and may vote by proxy or otherwise, and enjoy the like rights as other stockholders and members, and so on.

Tue Toronto Mei says: It is gratifying to learn that sound and healthy Canadian and American cattle are still permitted to land in England, and, after passing an examination made by Government inspectors, to be trans- ported to inland markets. So long as this practice continues, i eg of Dominion- raised stock can be e with confidence, and the spring may witness a rapid development of our trade.

Iord Lorne at Eton.
His one scrape at Eton occurred in con- nection with an adventure about a white rat. Lord Lorne was standing on the steps of Upper School, one morning, waiting for 11 o’clock school, when one Campbell, a namesake of his, but no relative, asked him to hold a pet rat for a moment, while he— the owner of the beast—ran back to his dame’s to fetch a book which he kad for- gotten. On receiving the assurance that the rat was perfectly tame, #1 would not even bite a kitten, Lorne ;):‘ him into the pocket of his jacket, and tuld the owner to make haste, but just at that moment the masters came out of ‘‘ Chambers,” and ascended the staircese, so Lorne was ob- liged to go into school with the brute. All went well for five minutes, but soon the rat, indifferent to the honor of inhabiting a Marquis’ pocket, crept out and jumped on to the floor. Some boys saw it and set up a titter, which excited the attention of the form master, Mr. Y— —, nicknamed ‘‘Stig- gins,” a strict disciplinarian ‘* Whe brought that rat into school?’ he asked. Lorne confessed that the was the culprit.
‘Well, make haste to catch him and carry him out, or | shall complain of you,” said Mr. Y——. My lord laid down his Homer, but to catch the rat was not easy. Seeing himself an object of general atten- tion, the animal darted under the scarlet curtain which separated one division from another, and rushing amid a new lot ‘of boys provoked an uproar: Ina minute all the boys in the upper -schvol room, some two hundred odd, were on their feet shout- ing, lauzhing, and preparing to throw their books at the rat, who, however, spared them this trouble by ducking down a hole, where he disappeared for good and a’ Lerne had to come back red and breathe- less, declaring that his game had eluded pursuit; whereupon Mr. Y., who disliked riots, proceeded to make out a ‘‘ bill” which consigned his lordship after school to the care of the Sixth Form Prae poster. Luckily Dr. Goodford took a merciful view of the affair, and, as Lorne had not yet had ‘* first fault,” absolved him from kneeling on the block. It is to be noted that Lorne might easily have exonerated himself by explaining under what circumstances he had taken charge of the rat; but he was not the kind of boy to back out of a scrape by betraying a friend, and if Dr. Geodford. had refused{him the benefit of a first fault, he would certainly have taken his flogging without a murmur.

The Death-rate of
Our country is getting to be fearfully al- arming, the average of life being lessened every year, without any reasonable cause, death resulting generally from the most in- significant origin. At this season of the year, especially, a cold is such a common thing that in the hurry of every day life we are apt to overlook the dangers attending it and often find, too late, that a Fever or . Lung trouble has already set in. Thou- sands lose their lives in this way every win- ter, while had Bosshee’s German Syrup been - taken, a “cure would have resulted, and a — large bill from a doctor been avoided. For - all diseases of the Throat and Lungs, Bos- chee’s German Syrup has proven itself to be the greatest discovery of its kind in medi- cine. Every Druggist in this country will tell you of its wonderful effect. Over 950,- 000 bottles sold last year without a single failure known.
