_Separation of Sexes in Church_ (Vol. ii., p. 94.).--In Christ Church,

Birmingham, the males are (or were) separated from the females, which

gave rise to the following lines, which I quote from Allen's _Guide to

Birmingham_:

"The churches and chapels we generally find,

Are the places where men unto women are join'd;

But at Christ Church, it seems, they are more cruel-hearted,

For men and their wives are brought there to be parted."
