Boston Post:
did the guard present arms to you,
Mrs. Partington ?" asked the cOrnmissary
Of her as she entered the marquee.

A SUFFERING CnRISTIAN.-A minister
was travelling in the backwoodS, and es.
pying q cabin, he entered on his mission
Of mercy. The woman Of the house (stle
being the only one present and rightly
judging his errand), when she perceived
him approaching, seized the Bible, and
when he entered, was to all appearances,
busily engaged in peruSing the volume.
lie noticed, however, that she held the
book with the letters reversed, or, in 9th
er words, upside down. After the usual
cOurtesicS, the minister inquired Of what
she was reading.
"Oh, bout the old prophets" was the
satisfactory response.
1t is very editying to read Of the sui.
(erings and death Of Christi said the
minister.
"And so that good man is leads
he" asked the woman, evidently becom.
ing interested.
Certainly, he isl"
Well, that's just the way. I've been
at John long time to take the newspa-
pers, but he won't. Everybody in the
world might die, an we not get To hear
it," said she, in a rapid tone.
"Ah! woman you are in the dark, "
said the preacher with elongated face.
II know we are. I've been ut John q
long time to put winder in the fur end
Of the house, but he won't do that either, Vi
she replied.
~ perceive you nre weak in knowl-
edge" said the preacher.
~ know that am weak, and guess
IL you'd had the bilious fever, an bin ia.
kin DIR. Ayers sazafrax an catarack pills
as long as | have, you'd be weak, too "
replied the woman, in rather all angry
tone Of voice, and half an octave higher
than usual.

Nor DEEP ENoUaH FOR PRAYING. We
have heard good story Of two raftsmen.
The event occurred during big blow on
the Mississippi river, during which many
RATS were swamped, and several steam
boats lost their sky-rigging. A raft was
just emerging from Lake Pepin as the
squat came. In an instant it was pitch
ing and writhing an if suddenly dropped
into CharybdiS, while the waves broke
over with tremendous uprOar. Expect.
ing instant destruction, one OF the RATS
men instantly dropped on his knee and
commenced praying with vim commen.
Surate with the emergency. Happening
to open his eyes for an instant, he Observ.
ed his companion, not engaged in prayers,
but pushing pole into the water at the
side of the raft.

he get down on yer knees, now, for

"Be aisy, Pat I" said the other, a. he
coOlly continued to punch the water with
bis pole; "be aisy, now, what's the use
Of prayin' when yer can tsCh the bottom

Nike is a pretty good specimen Of q
large class Of Christians, who prefer to
omit prayer SO long as they can "tsCh
bottom"
