It Wasn't "Uncle Billr'

The following anecdote is told of an old
gentleman by the name of Uncle Bill Tren
ton, who resides in Tioga county, Pennsyl-
vania:
ION one of his recent visits to town, he
came with yoke of oxen to the mill, loadeC
his grist and was starting for home, when n
saw some of his old friends hanging about
the store. Getting into chat with them, he
invited them in TO take something, took some
thing himself and then little more, till il
got to be TOO much and night coming or, he
set off with his oxen and cart, having perch
ed himself, as well as he could, on the top Of
tue load. The road was muddy, and SO was
his head, and he soon sank down under the
power Of the liquor, and with lurch of the
cart was rolled into the road, while the oxen
went swinging along home. One of his
neighbors coming along fiem the town with
a team, saw Uncle Bill lying in the mud, and
getting down, he shook him soundly, and
cried out, ''Uncle Bill is this your"

Letter from DR.. Deems.

DR.. G. +. Deems, now in Europe, has
written letter from London, of which the
following is an extract:
my Sabbaths in London seem specially
uncomfortable to me. To-day, for instance,
/ have heard DR.. Wordsworth, in Westmin-
ster Abbey. The solemn place produced
solemn impressions, but did not hear one
complete sentence, so vast is the building,
and so badly constructed for preaching. In
the afternoon was in the next fashionable
church, ST. Georges, Hanover Square, in
swhilh the mobility aae married, and beard
an dxquisit61y soft and velvety sermon, un-
der thousands of which the conscience might
slumber and the soul be lost. | can under
stand why the literary men of England SO
often ridicule the English pulpit. But there
are some men of power and holiness, such as
the Bishop of London and Canon McNeile, of
Liverpool, and the English Church seems to
me much more spiritual and earnest than
Wesleyanism. But | had three profitable
seasons in London to-day. About o'clock
was alone in John Newsom's pulpit, from
which that plucked brand used to preach to
thousands. There in tears and humility re-
peated, on my knees, parts of his most pre-
ciOus hymn, II saw one hanging on tree"
Thence went to City Road Chapel, and as
it was the interval of service no one was in
the grave yard. There | kneeled upon the
grass, and by the side Of Richard Watson's
remains | gave myself afresh to the Lord. -
Very near me were lying the ashes of Wesley
and DIR. Adam Clarke. Then passed across
the street and stood by the grave of Isaac
Watts, the sweet singer Of Israel, ard then by
the worn grave-stone of Bunyan. the won

A Vicious Sheep.

There was fellow in certain neighbor-
hood in Arkansas who was strongly sus-
pected of sheep stealing. There were week
ly many cases of the mysterious disappear
ance of choice mutton from the focks of the
planters, which was traced to his door; but
being willy and ingenious chap, he gener-
ally succeeded in proving an alibi, or some
defence which reduced the charge to a mere
suspicion. At last, however, planter riding
through the fields, perceived the suspected
sheep thief stealing from the woods, and after
looking around to see that no one was near,
walked up to the flock of sheep, and deliber-
ately knocked over the largest and fattest.-
At this moment, the planter rode up, and
confronting the thief said:
"Now, sir, | have got you-you can't gel
off; you are caught in the very act"
'sWhat act? indignantly demanded the
thief
"Sheep stealingr was the confident reply
ssSir you had better mind how You charge
respectable American citizen with such
crime as sheep stealing replied the gentle
man with penchant for mutton.
Now, will you deny that saw you kill
that sheepy asked the planter.
4 No. SIR was the prompt answer. 4 die
kill him, and I'd do it again. I'd kill any
body's sheep that attempts to bite me as
am going peaceably along the road
