A Rich ScENE.-Deacon d. was very
much interested in revival that was taking
place in his neighborhood, and as . conse-
quence, was continually urging his neigh
bors to " come over to the Lords side" rs
he expressed it. He had frequently impor-
tuned an old neighbof of his-weo was not
particularly noted for his professions of re-
li8ion, but was, nevertheless, highly respect
cd by all who knew him.-to attend one Of
their evening meetings. Now, the piety
and honesty of the deacon was matter Of
doubt among His fellow townsmen. and
particularly SO with the old man above
mentioned, who. for convenience, We may
call Uncle Josh. After frequent calls. Uncle
Josh consented to accompany the deacon to
one of the meetings. and accordingly at
tendedshim to the IS red .school-house - one
evening, much to the surprise of all present.
In the course of the service, the deacon
arose with . penitential countenance to tell
his experience. He was the prince Of sim
nep, he said. If he got his deserts. he
would be banished forever from divine favor.
After making himself out to be al that is
vile in man, according to his Interpretation
of /" he that humbleth himself shall be ex-
alted," he sot down with the sublime sense
of having done his duty. and asked Uncle
Josh if he wouldn't tell his experiences.
With some little reluctance he srose. amid
the breathless attention of the assembly
it was an unknown occurrence for Uncle
Josh to speak in meeting. He said he had
listened with great interest to the remarks
Of the deacon, and he was happy to able
to assure the brethren that from his long
acquaintance with him. he could fully en-
dorse all the deacon bad said concerning his
meanness and vileness. for he certainly was
the meanest man he ever knew. The wrath
of the deacon Was terrific He sprang TO
his fee1n shook his fist under Uncle Iosh's
nose, and exclaimed aloud" You're a
confounded liar and I'll whip you as sooa
Is you get ont of church !''

TELL THE TRUTH.

We have no objection to. the editor of the
Sentinel abusing the candidates upon the
Republican ticket as much As he likes. It
makes no one feel bad, nor does it do harm,
but we do desire that nothing but the truth
be told. When the editor aforesaid stated
that Mr.. Stearns ran fifty behind his ticket
at the last October election he published
what is not true. Mr.. Stearns ran but
eight behind the average vote and but nine
teen behind the highest vote received
Republican. 7E5.
This is anew way to convict person 81
falsehcod:H okay that Mr.. Stearns did not
run but eight behind he.aoeruge vote upon
the Republican ticket. 3
The straight Republican ticket that Is
the Republican candidates who were Il not
scratched, had twenty seven majority in this
precinct, although from the unpopularity o.
their candidates most Of them were Beaten
from ten to twenty-five votes. That is
they were scratched 50 badly that there was
an acerage Democratic majority. Searns
was one ofthose uniortunates; running not
as the Republican says eight votes be-
hind the Average cote, but sir or eigh, be-
hind the next lowest, ard orer fifty votes
behind the straight Republican vote. Now
