"MoRE's You'll KEEP.'-Some years
ago, an old sign painter, who was very cross,
very gruff, and little deaf, was engaged to
paint tho Ten Commandments on some tablets
in a church not FIVE miles from Buffalo He
worked two days at il, and at the close Of the
second day the pastor OF the church came in
TO see how the work progressed. The old man
stood by, smoking short pipe, as the reverend
gentle man ran his eye over the tablets.
''Eh :" said the pastor, as his familiar eye
detected something wrong in the wording OF
the holy precepts, why you careless old per-
son, you left part Of one Of the command
ments entirely out: don't you see''
"No; no such thing" said the old man, put
ting on his spectacles; "no, nothing left cut;
where
Why, there" persisted the pastor; here,
look at them in the Bible; you have left some
of the commandments OUT
"Well, what if L have!" said old obstinacy.
as he ran his eye complacently over his work:
l. there's more there now than YOU keep
Another and mere correct artist was en-
pl0yed next day.
