PURE MILK-"NOT MILK AND WATER"
The following anecdote a few days ago related
to a friend in Liverpool, by respectable gentleman
from Cork. short time since llomish priest of
the county of Kerry received information, that
very naughty member of his congregational milk
man-was in the habit of frequently reading the
Scriptures, aud the reverend conessor well knowing
that such practice would place ''he craft in dan
GER" lost no time in paying pastoral visit to the
poor, ignorant and misguided delinquent. On arri-
wing at the humble cabin, he found poor Pat
ployed in his domestic affairs and thus addressed him.
''why, my good fellow, am informed that you
in the habit OF reading the bible; is my information
correct 'Sure ii is thrue, phase your rverence,
and fine book it is" "But you must know" re-
joined the priest, "tha it is very wrong, to read the
Scriptures. An ignorant man like you has no right
to do So" "Ahn' replied Pat ''but you must be
aither provin that same, before consnt to lave
it off" The cOlloquy then proceeded fol-
lows:
Priest That wi 90
Pat. shure ifyour riverence does that I'll read
no more, and give it up TO you.
Priest will from the book itself, convince you
that you have business to read it. The priest
Immediately took up the Bible, and read it to Pat
from the first epstle of Peter, ii, 2, "As born
babes desire the sincere milk of the word that ye
may grow thereby" ''IIere you see,' said The priest
''you wrong to read the Scriptures YOURSELF you
only babe: and you enjoned TO desire the
sincere milk Of the word One who understands
what the sincere milk really is must give it to
you,"
Pat listened altentvey to the priests authoritative
address, but in way at loss to reply to what has
puzzled wiser heads, said, "Ah, bat be aisy, your
reverence while tell you. little time ago was
taken i'll, | got man TO milk my cows and attend
TO my business, and what do you think he did,
asted Of givin me the rale milk, he chated me by
putin wather into it; and if you get my Bible you
may serve me the No, no, will keep my
COW and milk it myself, then shall get the sincere
milk. and not as should from you-mixed with
waer.'
The priest finding himself thus defeated, and de-
srous that the mischief should spread no further,
said, in concilintory tone, welI, Pat see you are
little wiser than thought you and as you are not
quite babe you may keep your Bible but don't
lend it or read it to your neghbors."
Pat cycling his admontor very cunnngly, but seri-
ously, replied, "Sure enough your reverence, while
have COW, and can give little milk to my poor
neighbors who have none, it is my duty to do so
as a christian: and saving yonr reverence, I
aciH.''
The priest, abashed walked off immediately
doubtless convinced, to considerable extent that
the circulation of the pure word of God must u,i-
mately overthrow the superstition and soul ensIayips
fabric of Popery.

A PROPOSITION.
We call the attention of
the Democrats Of this and
the adjoining counties to
this proposition.

We propose publishing the Indepen
dent Democrat for the low price of one
dollar from the lst of May until the 18th
of November, being a sufficient time to
give full statement Of the vote upon the
Presidential Election. We hope that our
present subscribers will make this fact
known to those of their friends who wish
to take paper during the present can
vass. The present session of congress is
one of much interest. The settlement Of
the tariff question, and the important ne
gotiations which will be shortly entered
into concerning Oregon and Texas, are
matters about which the public will wish
the earliest and most correct information.
The result of the present canvass for the
Presidency, will fix the policy of the gov.
ernment for a long period TO come, it will
determine whether the country is to con-
tinue to suffer under the blighting opera
tion Of protective tariff and a corrupting
paper system, or enjoy the benefits of free
trade and sound currency. In view ofthesc
things, we hope our Democratic friends in
this and the adjoining counties will assist
us in extending our circulation. Those
who subscribe now can have the paper
from the present time.
