A Nsw REASON FOR CHuRcH-GoNo. o.-Tom
Purdy, layorlte servant Of Sir Walter Scott
once thanked his master for the great satisfsc-
ton he had received from the Waverly series
but on further inquiry Sir Walter found the
compliment left handed one, for Tom had found
them a good narcotic alter hard days labor,
and after page or two Of reading, always
settled into sound nap. A churchman gavea
somewhat similar reason for attending church,
and perhaps If all were honest, he might not DO
alone IN his reason:
At a recent meeting in England, Mr.. Cotton,
who spoke against the pew system, enforced his
remarks by 40 anecdo'e.
"A gentleman in the country, on his way TO
church, fell in with laborer on his estate.
"Ahl john" said he, glad to see you 60
