Gardner Howell, were willing to give up the

But as the affair stands, the steamer will not be

THE PARSoN GOING TO MILL.

The Parson sat in his house one day,
While wintly storm did rage
High rapt he drank in lofty thought
From Hooker's classic page;
But as he sat, and holy breath
Into his heart did steal,
Hisdear wife ope'd the door and said,
aMy dear, we have no meal"
With deep groan and saddened brow,
He laid aside his book,
And in despair upon the hearth
With troubled air did look:
"My people Think that must break
To them the bread OF Heaven,
But they'll not give me bread enough
One week day out ofsevCn."
Bat hunger is serious thing,
And il is said to hear
Sweet chldren's mournful cry Tor bread
Come ringing in your ear;
SO straight he mounted his old horse,
With meek and humble will,
And, with his bag, well patched and coarse,
lie Jouraeyed TO the mil.
The miller bowed TO him and said
/" Sin by your old church steePie,
vcw, give you praise for this,
But none To your church people"
The Parson mounted his old horse
lie had no time to lag
And rode like hero to his home
Right on his old Meal-bag.
But as he rode he overlook
proud and wealthy layman,
Who with close astonished gaze,
The Parsons bag did scan, a
"My reverend sir, the truth to tell
II makes me feel quite wroth
To see you compromise this way
The honor Of your CLOTH n.
"Why did you not tell, my honored friend,
Your meal was running low,--
What will the neighbors think Of US.
II to the mill you go!' .
oMy wealthy friend" !" the Parson said,
"You must not reason 50:
II is well known as . settled thing,
My meal is al,cays loo.
II my dear people wish to know
How to promote my bliss,
III simply say that bags Of meal
Il Will nevey come aDsisss
Just keep the store room well supplied,
And win keep il right still,
But II the meal gives out again,

No hard laborious toll,
