The Ram and the Deacon.-An elderly
gentleman, deacon of a church in New
Hampshire, had once been out later than
usual on Saturday evening. Next day he
attended public worship, and for his own
comfort, he being rather corpulent, seated
himself in the aisle of the church, near the
door, before which a number of sheep were
feeding, including an old ram, who was an
old warrior. While the parson was engsg.
ed for his spiritual good, the deacon was
sleeping soundly for the refreshment of his
body. The deacon wore slarge white wig,
and as he sat facing the door, nodding in
his sleep, the old man observed it, and mis-
taking the. wig for the head Of an antsgo-
mist, and the nodding for a signal of battle,
began to shake his head, and drew back to
a proper distance for a r~encontre, when the
deacon, making a very low nod, the ram
.suppOsing the enemy advancing, met him
full butt, and sent him bowling half way to
49, r-ir:.. Liking "H MS wig. The min
lister was not a littl. disconnected, and the
audience roared with laughter. To add to
the diversion, the old deacon, recovering
his legs as soon as possible, gathered up his
wig, and putting it on the tail before, again
took his seat, without discovering his mis-
take until service was ended.
