This remarkable old gentleman, who was cradled the year after Pitt and Fox died, and was a man while George IV. was still on the throne, has been preaching s for more than of a century.

The children saw an opportunity here for the ac qulsltlon of sudden wealth. They sup posed that their mother merely wanted to accumulate dead flies, for some aesthetic or scientific reason or other ' and they judged that the more flies she could get the happier she would be; so they went Into business with George on a commission. Straightway the dead flies began to arrive in aucb quantities that Mrs. Clemens was pleased beyond words with the sue cess of her idea. Next, she was astonished that one house could furnish so many. She was paying an extravagantly high bounty, and it presently began to look as if by this addition to our expenses we were now probably living beyond' our income. After a few days there was peace and comfort; not a fly was discoverable In the house; there wasnt a strag i r gter left Still, to Mrs. Clemens sur,. . Population of Rome.
