He says: \"A few\ndays ago while visiting a neighbor,\nthe conversation turned to berries,\nand then he showed me his patch.\nIt was small, but they were, plants\nto be proud of. His plan is as follows: He tells his children, when\nthey are picking, to carry along\nsome little sticks, pieces of lath,\netc., and when they find an extra\nstrong plant with a good fruit stem\nand plenty of berries, to put a stick\ndown alongside it. After the berries are picked lie takes up these\nplants and sets them out in a bed,\nletting them throw out runners in\nall directions. In the spring lie\nhas some fine plants to set, aud his\nberries are improving every year.\"\nHON.

But David Glttin bad a more\nmodest idea of the value of a sermon\nin tho same parish. He required two\ntortuous for 10 shillings, oue to be\npreached on tbe secoud Sunday in Advent and the other on the second Sunday in Lent The reader got 2 shillings, the churchwarden 2s. 8d. and\nthe poor sexton fourpence for each occasion. John Ireland thought 13s. 4d\nenough for two sermons.\nIn 1600 John Winn left a curious bequest to the parish of St Bennet, Paul's\nWharf. A pound was set apart for an\nannual sermon, the text to be taken\nfrom the fifth chapter of St. John and\nthe twenty-seventh verse. He also left\nenough to buy twelve penny loaves for\ntwelve poor people of tbe parish wbo\nattended a sermon evefy Friday in the\nparish church.
