Parson Surley's Experiment.
BY AUSTEN c. BURDICK.

The small parish of Followdale had
been for some time without pastor.
The members were nearly all farmers,
and they had not much money to bestow
upon the support Of clergyman; yet
they were willing to pay for anything
that could promise them any due return
of good In due time it happened that
the Rev. Abraham Surley visitedFallow-
dale, and as Sunday passed during his
sojourn, he held a meeting in the small
church. The people were pleased with
his preaching, and some of them pro-
posed inviting him to remain with them
and take charge of their spiritual well
fare.
Upon the merits of this proposition,
there was long discussion. Parson
Surley had signifed bis willingness to
take permanent residence at Fallow-
dale, but the members of the parish
could not readily agree to hire him.
" L don't see the use of hiring a par
son." said Mr.. Sharp, an old farmer of
the place. |" He can do us no good.
| we've got any money to spare we d
better lay it up for something else. A
parson can't learn me anything"
To this it was answered that stated
religious meetings would be of great
benefit to the younger people, and also
source Of real social good to all.
81 don't know about that" said
Sharp, after lie had heard the arguments
against him. Sharp was one Of the
wealthiest men in the parish, and con-

Al From the American Pick
Gentlemen'S Names.

"What's in a name ?" mot much, It's true,
And SO great Shakespeare taught
"A rose, by any other name,
Would smell as sweet" he thought;
But, ah there is a nameloss charm
Doth lend sweeter grace,
When loined to euphonious name
We hail handsome face;
And so ! scout 4" What's in name 2"
Though penned by "Avon's Bard"
Bnd own love the "beautful"
Far 'bove the cold and hard.
Thus, Edwin sounds so musical,
And Francis lordly, free;
While Frank seems rife with fun and mirth
And Charles rings gracefully;
Albert is quite poetica
Frederick too like fop;
While John is for footman fit;
And William suits the shop.
James has sweet and loving sound;
But George falls harsh and cold;
Walter is fit to grace wit -
Douglass Scotchman bold;
Henry's too proud and high by far;
Thomas is odious quite
Alexander sounds right loftily,
Fitting for king or knight.
Horace is gay, Horatio grave;
But Andrew is too stiff; ...
Adolphus is quite sckening;
Harry pipe should Whit;
Orlando, and Alonzo too,
Breathe romantic strain;
Ralph speaks Of farming and green fields
Hodge is rural swain.
Herbert is lofty, Clement cold,
And Edward, careless, wild;
While Alfred sounds quite nobly,
And Wllie's spoilt child
Augustus is an aristocrat;
Robert reserved and cold :;
Isaac but fit to cry "old clo',"
And Richard to hoard up gold.
Ferdinand is affected;
Sidney is quite as bad;
While Percy is hot.headed,
And MarnIaduke drives me mad
Arthur is proud but sensible;
Joseph rake and gay;
While Samuel doth remind mo
Ola little child at play.
David is devotional;
Philip of horses fond
Earnest "sprig of fashion,"
And ruling the beau monde
Algernon is male coquette,
And Julian sentimental;
While Dick, and Jack, and Tom, and Bill,
Are far from ornamental. JULIA.
