was proposed by one of the members, af-

upon his fancy and related dream.
In his dream he went to heaven, and he
described the golden streets. the river of
silver, etc. As he concluded, one of the
divines, who was somewhat noted for his
penurious and money saving habits,
stepped up to the narrator and enquircd
