" Pick up the Stobe."

A correspondent writing from Wash
ington, Pa, says:-
Like most other small towns, we haze
here a 'culIered church, where great
many amusing things are said, exhera
ting TO the spirits of few who occasion
ally visit our 'Hsyti' meeting bouses.-
'Hayu' is the name given to that part Of
the town where 'pussons Of color reside.
One winter evening, when the 'culIered'
preacher was in the midst Of his sermon,
making a most violent if not a most eo
quent appeal TO his hearers, one of the
stove legs fell ou., and, as natural con.
sequence, the red hot stove tipped over at
an angle alarmingIy suggestive Of fire.
The audience, Of course, commenced crow
ding out Of the door like sheep. But the
preacher was equal to the occasion. Ad
dressing one of his prominent members
he cried out
'Pick up de stobe, brudder Bolah =
pick up de slobe De Lor' won't let in
burn you! Only bab faith !
Poor brother Bolah had unfortunately
too much faith, and Immediately seized
it, all glowing as it was; but no sooner
had his fingers come in contact with the
fervent iron, than he dropped it again
and dancing around on one foot blowing
his skinless fingers, he exclaimed with al
the energy which he could throw into hi
voice
DE h--ll he won't De h-ll he won't

Joy they give to all around;
Words Of love, what peace they bring
Happiness to everything.

Joining hearts TO others dear.
Gentle words then freely give,
They will teach you how to live;
They to you are freely giyea--
Angels whisper item from Heaven.
