scented tie sausage, and were not long
in tracking them 10 the pockets of the
good mans overcoat. OF course this was
a sad annoyance, and lie was several times
under the necessity ofkicking those wheIps
away. Having completed, the minister
and the congregation repaired 10 the
/ church where the funeral discourse was
to be preached,
Ah'hCi ebO vas ITthCD6u, the

having design upon his pocket, raised
