y PRorAxE CRow-Under this head we
found the following in the Philadelphia
Sunday Mercury, and give it to our readers
as O of the best things of its class we have
seen in long time. The finale with the
old woman heats the minister's ''tilt'' with
''the bird of i'll omen,' all to nothing
Here's the affair." and let none read it
who may he injured by laughter:
Several years since, On warm Sabbath
morning, while the Rev. DIR. b., of we'll
known fishing town in Massachusetts,, was
holding forth, tame crow, which had been
taught to rtter one expression only, and
that wicked one, flew into the church, and
alighting on the pulpit, saluted the minis
ter with Cd d--n ye;;" whereupon the
frightened and horror-stricken parson drew
Oft and gave "the gentleman in black" a
winder that sent him to the floor. Nothing
daunted by this, however, the crow was
soon on his pegs, and looking up at the
reverend gentleman, repeated his salutation
with such an emphasis that he took to his
heels, and, together with his congregation,
who were as much frightened as their min
lister, scampeled from the sacred ediiice in
double quick time. One little old woman,
whose scat was in corner, did not see fit
to follow the example Of the shepherd or his
flock, but firmly kept her position-upon
seeing which the crow advanced to her, and
hopping up on the seat in front of her,
again gave vent to its fayorite expression.
The CID woman, not little astonished at
this inpudcnce, and evidently taking him
for an evil spirit in the form OF bird, yell
ell forth at him
CD d-n you too What do you
Cd d-n naefore? l don't belong to this
church, and giving him a wipe with he1
umbrella, she cleared the coast. leaving the
church TO silence and to the crow.

A THRILLING RoNAScE.-She stood be-
side the altar, with wreath of orange buds
upon her head-upon her back the richest
kind of duds-her lover stood beside her
with white kids and dickey clean-thc last
was twenty one years old, the fust was sew
enteen.
The parsons job was over-every one
had kissed the bride, and wished the young
folks happiness, and danced and laughed
and cried The last kiss had BEEN given,
the last word had been said, and the happy
pair had silnmered down, and sought the
brid i bed.
CHAPTER II.-Shc stood beside the wash
tub, with her red hands in the suds, and at
her slip silod feet there lay pile of dirty
,iuds; her husband stood beside her-the
erosscst man alive-the last twenty y-nine
years old, the fust one twenty-five.
The heavy wash was over and the clothes
hung out to dry-and Tom.had stuck his
finger in the dirty baby's eye. Tom had
been spanked, and supper made upon a
crust of bread, and then the bride and BRIDE
groom went grumbling off to bed.
