thing we have heard for a long time
The substance Of the matter Is about as

One Sabbath, clergyman IN this
village was called upon by man who

OF his heart he handed the clergyman a
ten dollar note, upon receiving which he
proceeded to church Soon the services
commenced, the prayer was made, and
the first hymn was being read, when
the new married man was seen hurrying
down the aisle, toward the pulpit. bis
