pious sister connected with his church in
New Jersey, where be was stationed
few years ago. The good sister had a
peculiar way of expressing herself in
church, when anything suited her by
shouting at the top of her voice, ''Glory
to GodP' 'Hallelujahl' &C. Once she at
tended Presbyterian church and the
deacon gave her seat near the pulpit.
The minister commenced and grew more
eloquent as he proceeded. At last he
said something which made the sister
feel good and she shouted 'Glory to God
to the great establishment of the congre-
cation as well as the minister. The dea-
con approached her, and said that such
actions were not allowed there. But she
took no notice of him or what ne said,
but was all attention to what the imam
of Cod was proclaiming and as he pro
ceeded he waxed yetwarmer and the sister
gave another shout at the top of her voice
HGlory to Godl' which disconcerted the
minister, and he looked after the deacon,
who came and told the sister if she did

By GEO. W. BUSGAY.

When the sweet roses blush red,
In Eden their first fragrance shed,
A traitor and q Copperhead
Came in disguise,
Diffusing knowledge; and he said,
Il Eat and be wise,
And wisdom shall anoint thine eyes
And when the woman saw the tree
So pleasant for tie eyes to see,
She ate forbidden fruit. Thus she
Hath man misled,
Now meath the tree of liberty,
This Copperhead
Appears In blue and white and red.
Hinder the silent grass he hides,
Among the weeds and flowers he glides,
Down by the brooks he most aoides--
A treacherous thing;
The stars and stripes that deck his hides
Conceal a sting,
Venom and death are in his spring.
Satan seeded, and he fell,
In chains and darkness doomed TO dwell,
With other traitors who rebel,
In act and word,
Because he'd rather reign in hell

In furtherance of their fun, one ofthem

the bread rolled down the hearth, they
