JOSEPH FISON & Co., IPSWICH, MANUFACTURERS OF SULPHURIC ACID AND CHEMICAL MANURES. (One of the Oldest Firms in the Trade.) {j IPSWICH, BRAMFORD, PLYMOUTH, POOLE, BIDEFOBA SWANSEA, AND HULL. A Pamphlet with full particulars of these celebrated Manures may be obtained of any of the Agents of the Firm, or (post free) from the Head Offices. Messrs. JOSEPH FISON & Co., having established a Depot at Swansei4 are now prepaled to deliver their Manures, carriage paid, at any Railway Station in South Wales and the neighbouring counties. The Corn Manures are designed especially for theproductiom of fine quality combined with a large yield, in which respect they excel other well known fertilisers, and samples of corn grown with these manures have fetched the highest market prices in past seasons. The Root Manures are designed, not only to give the young plants a good start, but to support them'through every stage of their growth. Attention is particularly drawn to these points as some manures are only partial in their action, and, though forcing at first, fail to bring the crops to perfection. Purchasers are requested to give their orders to the nearest Agent, or, if there be no Agent in the neighbourhood, they can be supplied direct from the Firm at list prices. Messrs. Joseph Fison & Co. are prepared to appoint direct Agents at places in which they are not at present represented, and gentlemen of position and responsibility, who may be disposed to undertake such agencies, are requested to apply by letter to the Head Offices. No Sub-Agents are appointed, but all Agents being in direct communication with the Firm Orders received through them will have the same attention as if handed to the Principals.

. " THE SERPENT IN PARADISE."
THE SERPENT IN PARADISE." CHIS is the heading of an article by C.H.S. in the lune number of the Sword and Trowel" on gambling at Monte Carlo. The writer says, Those who have set up the gaming tables of Monte Carlo have no conscience it remains for -,he public to find them one, and this can never je until an enlightened public opinion is formed md expressed. Few would come vithin their grip if all the assembly consisted of )razen-faced females, and worthless sharpers, but ,here are many steps to the descending stairs, md right glad are the directors to see upon the lpper rounds ladies and gentlemen who on Sun- lay will be conspicuous at church, and are inown on ether days as the cream of respec- ,a tability. The presence of such persons makes the road to perdition a genteel promenade, and there- fore it pays the promoters to give them music and lowers for nothing." Gambling, it is necessary to say, is gambling whether it is carried on at Monte Carlo gambling hells for the profit of private individuals, or at Welsh coast watering places like Aberystwyth and Barmouth for the srection of churches and chapels. When ministers af the Gospel promote illegal lotteries for the eree- tion of churches and chapels, the Serpent has evi- dently got nearer paradise than when he is engaged in the comparatively vulgar task of promoting gambling at Monte Carlo and similar place'Y-. Fine as the climate may be the Serpent would probably prefer a Welsh place of worship for his operations, and run the risk of clouds and showers, bhan cloudless skies, and only a common gambling lien for the scene of his labours. The great home af lotteries for religious purposes is Ireland. Welsh clergymen and ministers when questioned ibout this form of gambling have pleaded the ex- ample of the Irish Roman Catholics, who, they say, ire not interfered with. Lotteries are clearly illegal, md they are also as clearly a degrading form of gambling. Further, it is scarcely true that they ire not interfered with, although legal proceed- ings may not have been instituted against those who promote them or take part in them. In the House of Commons on Friday night- The Attorney-General for Ireland, replying to Mr. Anderson, said his attention had been called by the Ques- tion to lotteries in a bazaar in Dublin, where the names of sheriffs and magistrates were advertised. Probably they had not paid any attention to it. The Crown Solic- itor had been directed to inquire into the matter, and he might add that he thought lotteries for large sums of money were open to grave objection, and he trusted that the public attention called to them would lead to good results. The Attorney-General ought not to be called upon to teach morality to Welsh ministers of religion whatever may be necessary in that direction in Ireland. Perhaps the Crown Solicitor will, however, next be called upon to inquire into religious lotteries in Wales. The Welsh lotteries cannot yet be said to offer large sums of money as prizes, but they do what is perhaps a shabbier thing, namtly, offer large numbers of tickets for small money prizes. On Tuesday, June 10th, at Aberdovey, the foundation stcne was laid of a new Congregational Church. One of the speakers, Mr. GIUFFITH JONES, Aberystwyth, expressed a hope that the new place of worship would be paid for by the free will offerings of the people, and not by such mean devices as the sale of gim- cracks or the aid ot an illegal lottery." Bazaars, as a means of raising money, are open to objec- tion, and when raffles and other games of chance are introduced, they are still more objectionable. If gambling is innocent, preachers and religious teache/s should admit the fact if on the other hand gambling is immoral, then religious denomin- ations ought not to indulge in it merely because they want money and dj not know how to obtain it by less disreputable means. The great and desirable object is to cultivate enlightened public opinion on the question of lotteries. Their chief promoters must, of course, be aware both of their illegality and immoral tendency, but the force for good and evil lies mainly with the masses, who are slow to think and feel, but who, once roused, are irresistible. Wnen evil has been stripped of its masks and trappings, and has been shown clearly to be evil, its chances for life are slight, and its hope for popularity is ruined. That religious denominations for their own profit can tolerate gambling which causes them great perturbation of soul when they receive no benefit, is a fact cal-
ST. DAVID'S COLLEGE.
ST. DAVID'S COLLEGE. THE Very Rev. H. T. EDWARDS, the Dean of Bangor, 1 has recently stated that he looks upon St. David's College, Lamper.er, as a mistake. He speaks of 1 that institution in terms he will perhaps one day find it necessary to explain away. To the "little College in the Arcadian wilds of Cardiganshire" is due no small degree of the vitality now found n the Church of England in Wales, whatever the DEAN of BANGOR may thinkto the contrary. A chief 1 feature in the Dean of BANGOR'S recent letters is I the bitter hostility he evinces towards St. David's, I and a general slur cast upon Cardiganshire. The lack of support the College has had to complain of becomes ouite int.illicrible when looked at in 1 the light of recent utterances. Another friend to higher education in Wales has spoken. The Rev. D. LEWIS LLOYD, Head Master of Christ College, Brecon, made a.speech last week. He said among other things Another cause which has damaged Welsh grammar schools to some extent "has been the establishment of St. David's College, Lam peter. I am not insensible to the great benefits conferred on Wales by St. David's College iicr have I forgotten the great men it has sent forth into the world. Still you know as well as I do that before the establishment of this College in 1827 the old grammar schools were the direct feeders of the Church in Wales. Young men taught in these grammar schools were wordained for holy orders by the Bishops without passing through any intermediate course of education, but since dt. David's College, Lampeter, was opened, this system ceased. What was the result ? That men who had hitherto been trained at these gram- mar schools flocked to St. David's College without any due and necessary preparation, and the result was that the grammar schools were in many cases emptied, and the standard considerably lowered inasmuch as men found that they could find their way into the Church by passing directly to St. Davids College, without having the preliminary training of the Welsh grammar schools. It is to be regretted, I think, that St. David's College .has not been able to bring greater influence to bear upon the life of the schools in Wales than it has hitherto done." The foregoing words plainly show that St. David's College has no friend iu the Rev. D. LEWIS LLOYD. We could name other prominent Churchmen who damn St. David's with faint praise, but who have never lifted a finger to help it. The new master of Christ College Brecon speaks of the men who had hitherto been trained at grammar schools who flocked to St. David's Col- lege, so that grammar schools in many cases were emptied. Let it even be supposed that St. David's College has obtained every one of its students at the expense of the Welsh grammar schools, and we are driven to one of two con- clusions. Either the Welsh grammar schools contained very few scholars to start with or there is some mistake about the flocking." During he fifty years St. David's College has been in ixistence it has turned out somewhat fewer than thousand students. The average, number of tudents is about fifty. Now is it reasonable hat fifty students from all the grammar schools if Wales would close many of those schools or hat these fifty men can fairly be described as C flocking to St. David's." The Lampeter College has had to contend with the opposition if members of the Church of England, and its litterest enemies to-day are amongst those who ught to be its greatest friends. The chief need If Lampeter is a first rate grammar school as a eeder to the College. It is to be hoped the iew PRINCIPAL will not only be able to establish school of this kind, but that he will seeure some if the revenue of Jesus College, Oxford. If fstrad Meurig school were removed to Lampeter omething might be done to make it a great mrsery for the colleges at Lampeter and Aber- ystwyth. Whether the new master of Christ Allege, Brecon, is ashamed of Jesus College, )xford, or not depends on conditions quite in- lependent of Jesus College. Sometimes men are lot ashamed of what they ought to be ashamed if. One thing is ceriain. The opponents of St. )avid's College have far better reasons for being ashamed of their hostility towards thad insti- ution than they have for being ashamed of the nstitution itself. A great deal has been gained vhen the people who ought to have fostered the College feel called upon to defend themselves, md it is a great satisfaction to know that the College is full of promise of vigorous life. This lubject is worthy of fuller treatment than is now ;iven to it.
