OVERRIDING it.

A well known Methodist minister, who was
travelling on horseback through the State of
Massachusetts, stopped one noon on sultry
summers day at cottage by the road side. and
requested some refreShinent for himself and
beast. This was readily granted by the worthy
New England dame, the parson dismounted,
and having seen his horse well cared for, euter-
ed the cottage and partook of the refreshment
which WAS cheerfully placed before him. For
some time past there had been no rain, and he
country round seemed literally parched up. The
minister entered into conversation with the old
,dy, and remarked about the dryness of the
season. Yes she replied, '.unless have
.ln soon, all my beets, cabages and cucumbers
will be good for nothing, and | think that all the
ministers ought to pray for rain" The worthy
wine informed her that he was minister, and
that he should be happy t. comply with::ner wish.
ie accordingly knelt down aud pray ed fervent-
that the gates of Heaven might be opened,
hat showers might descend and refresh the
.trth He then arose from his knees. and hav-
lg kindly thanked his hostess, bade her good
tay, mounted his horse and departed But he
,.ld been gone than an hour when the
LIQUIDS began to gather, ana a tremendous show
r of hail and r.lin descended, and with such
.Jrce as to wash the contents of the old lady s
garden clear out OF the ground. There" said
she, ..that is always the way with those tarnal
detho1ists, they never undertake to do anything
out they always overdo il"

spiritualism VS.. Common Sense.

The Spiritual Har6inger, one of the sublimely
ridiculous advocates of spiritualism and rapping
ism has the following sublimation of nonsense
In the twelfth hour, the glory of God, the life
of God. the Lord of God. the Holy Procedure,
shall crown the Triune Creator with the perfect
disclosive illumination. Then shall the Creator,
in effulgence above the divine seraphimal, arise
into the dome of the disclosure in one compre-
hensive revolving galaxy of supreme beatitudes.
The Cayuga Chief thus aptly responds.
Then shall bockheads in the jackassical dome
