1t Made Him Feel Independent.

A man named Porter, says he once had a cleri
cal friend between whom and himself there existed
great intimacy.
Every Saturday night, as Porter was sitting bal
ancing his cash, note would come, requesting
" the loan of fve dollar bill n The money was
always returned punctually at o'clock on the
Monday morning following. But what puzzled the
lender was, the Parson alodys returned the very
identical note he borrowed Since he had discov-
cred this fact he had made private marks on the
note still the same was handed back ON Monday
morning. One Saturday evening Porter sent five
dollar gold piece, instead of note and marked it,
Still the very same coin was returned on the Mon
day. Porter got nervous and bilious about it; he
could not sleep at night for thinking of it, he
would awake his wife in the middle Of the night
and ask her what she thought of such strange
occurrence. he was fast boiling over with curios-
ity, when note came from the reverend borrower,
one Christmas eve, asking the loan of ten dollars.
A brilliant thought struck our friend. He put on
his great coat, resolved to call and demand ex-
PLANTATION of the mystery.
When he was shown into his friends study be
found him plunged in the profoundest melancholy.
"Mr ~~*,n said our friend If you will answer
me one question will let yeu have the ten dollars.
How does it happen that you always repay me
the money you borrow on the Saturday night in
the very same coin note on MondayY
The parson raised his head snd after q violent
struggle, as though he were about to uuveil the

PARSONAGE OF CHURCH OF Holy RIFLES,
Monday eve.
MY DEAR BRoTHER: / preached last Sunday
with great acceptance, from the text, "Go ye into
oil the world, and preach the Gospel to every crea-
ture." The house was full and had good time.
Much additional interest was thrown around the
services from the fact that large company Of
freedom -shriekers, on their way to Kansas, were
present. / combatted the old-fashoned notion,
and think successfully, that the religion of the
New Testament was. TO bring peace Oh earth and
good will to meS showed the fallacy Of all those
teachings of the Apostle which speak of render
ing unto Caesar the things which are C@sars--of
being subject to the higher powers because they
were ordained of God, &C., &c. / admitted that
there was time when these injunctions were i'm
perative and binding; but | proved, and think
clearly, that Theology like all other sciences, is
progressive, and that steam engines and Sharpe's
rifles are now the true EyangeM In conformity
with this position, assumed that the word trans
lated preach should be rendered shoot $50
that the text, as in my version, would read, Go ye
into all the world, and shoot the Gospel (from
Sharpe's riaes) at every creature. The more re-
feet upon the subject the more am persuaded
that this is the true mode of Gospel propagand
ism.
With Sharpe's rifles, and the Bible for wadding
Scripture truth can be sent directly home to the
hearts of the people, and be inwardly digested by
them.
Brother Kilpem GLORIOUS name, how love it'll
has sent one of these missionaries to Kansas, and
many others among the meek and lowly disciples,
are following his example. The thing takes won
derfully, and capital hit for the Screecher fam
lily. My dear brother, it would have done your
heart good to have witnessed those Kansasians lis
tening to the truth as it is in Screecher. With
many of them you are acquainted They have
passed through all the phases of Fouriersm, Soci-
alism, and Free Loveism up to the sublime heights
of Rifeism. With their long hair slouched hats
and blouses, they we're the trueideals of the Tri
bune efice. But it is not alone for propagatng the
Gospel in Kansas that my people are becoming
distinguished. / notice that one member of my
church has bet one thousand dollars that he will
find and Kill the man who threw vitriol on his
child's dress few days since. Thus the work
goes on. Let us persevere, and the time will soon
come when rifles and bowie-knves win supersede
the necessity Of Bible truth and Gospel preaching
Fraternaly yours, w. ii. SCREECHER.

The Welcome Of the Birds TO Spring.

BIZ J. T. PETTY.
Skipping lightly DER the lea,
Singing songs Of merry glee;
See the Queen of flowers bright,
Wrestling earth from winters night.
Merry birds with voices sweet,
In the woods her presence greet;
With chorus loud and strong,
Hark the echoes roll along.
Welcome Flora to the bowers,
With thy retinue of flowers;
At thy feet we joyous fall,
Gladly crown thee Queen of all.
Accept the tribute now we raise,
Listen to our simple lays;
We, thy subjects fain would pay
Homage to our Queen to-day.
When the birds had ceased to sing
Welcomes to the Queen Of Spring;
She in sailing beauty rare
Waved her hand majestic fair.
Then bowing with graceful mien
From the throne of mossy green;
She then addressed the faithful birds,
Who, list'ning, hung upon her words.
Ye blthsome birds, who at my shrine,
Have homage paid in songs divine;
My iRmost heart with rapture swels
To hear your voices through these dells.
Receive the thanks now bestow,
Nor unrequited shall you go;
All that have to you leave, 4
If We the off ring viii receive.
Then rose upon the silent breeze,
Which gently played among the trees
A swelling sound, which broke the air
In one loud note of music rare.
As in voice Of strength and might
The birds again their VOWS unite;
At thy feet We joyous fall,
Gladly hail thee Queen of all.
