A HARD CASE.

Poor people have hard time in this lit
tie world of ours. Even in matters of -eli'
gion, there is vast difference between
Lazarus and Dives as the following anecdote
sent us, by friend, will illustrate:
Old Billy c. had attended great re-
vival, and, in common with many others, he
was converted and baptized. Not many
weeks afterwards, one of his neighbors met
him reeling home from the court ground
with considerable brick in his hat.
Hello, uncle Billy said the friend d
thought you had joined the church
so did, answered uncle Billy, making
desperate effort to stand still, $50 did
Jeemes, and would bin good Baptis, if
they had mt treated me so everlasting mean
at the water. Didn't you never hear bout
it Jeemes?
sNeyer did,
Then I'll tell you about it: You see,
when we come to the baptizin' place, thar
was me and old Jonks, the rich old squir,
war to be dipped at the same time. Well
the minister tuck the squire in fust, but l
didn't mind that much, as 1 thought it
would be jest as good when cum; so he
led him in, and after dipping him under, he
raised him my nsitey keerful and wiped his
face and led him out. Then come my turn,
and instead of lifting me out like he did the
squire, he gave ME one slosh, and left me
crawlin' about on the bottom like d-n-,t
mad turkle!'
