A WORTHY clergyman on a certain occa-
sion, entreated on officer to hberate poor
soldier he was about to cast into prison.
The officer said he would if the minister would
grant him the first request he would make Of
him. The clergyman agreed, and the ofhcer
demanded he should baptize a young pup that
was in his camp. The dog was brought forth,
and the minister requested the officer to
hold it up, as was necessary in baptism. The
clergyman began: As am q minister
of the church Of Scotland, must proceed ac-
cording to the ceremonies of the church. =
" Certainly" said the major, expect all
the ceremony" ''Well, then, major, begin
by the question: Do you acknowledge
yourself to be the fatherof this ruppy?" II
is needless to add this was more Of the GER
emony than he expected, and consequently he
did not care about seeing it out.
