Deprived Of the Gospel by
Foxes

That was a novel but not so bad an ar
gument which the mountain member urged
in the Kentucky State Legislature.
A few years ago bill proposing pre-
MUM on fux-scalps, was under discussion.
1t had been somewhat roughly handled in
debate by members from the more popu-
lous districts, where foxes were scarce. and
Mr.. l.. from one of the mountain counties,
rose to reply. | give only his peroration ::
"Are we Mr.. Speaker-we of the noun
tain region-not only to witness the annu
al destruction of our crops, but actually to
be deprived by these varmints of the con-
ISOLATION Of religion ?" This woke the
house up, and set it agape for On explana-
ton. He continued-"Y0u know MIR.
Speaker, that We live in a rough country 4;
that your fancy churches-your Presbys
terians and Episcopalians-never send
preachers among us. We depend for the
Gospel upon the eircuit-riders ofthe Meth
odist church aud sir, everybody knows
that they can't be induced to travel where
there are no chickens; and that chickens
cannot be raised where foxes abound W
The argument was unanswerable, and
the bill became law.

Thoughtless the autumn leaves. ~

Downward they plunge in pleasure low;
