The Pig and the Puppy,

When first commenced preaching, an Old MN c

Years past and gone, lived an old Baptist minister
Nv the name of Place He was man Of uncom-

more than common " gift of gab." lie was very
DESTROYS of pleasing his hearers. In one OF the
northern towns in this state lived an OH Drothef
nv the name Of Winsor, who was fond OF the COM
many of Elder Place, and used to fetch ana carry
him on his preaching tours. On one occasion, as
Elder Place came near the place OF ms appoint
nent. he asked brother Wnsor what the people
generally believed where he was going TO preach.
The brother told him that it was none OF his busl-
ness, but it was his duty to preach what he belleV
cd himself But Elder Place made enquiries, and
fnnnd the people were mostly UniyersaIlsts; so he
nreached that which would not hurt any OnlVer-
salist. On their way home, brother Wnsof told
Elder Place that he would tell him Il snort story
Il 1t was as follows
;, On certain holiday in Presbyterian Parish,
a man of good property wished to give the MINIS

that he might kill it and eat it or he might raise it
