covered his composure, (ior the sight had
nearly turned him into the mesmeric
state) be again asked the curate for an
explanation. The little man waited to
fold his empty bags, and deposit them ia
his pocket; then looking his superior foil
in The face, be answered with the bold
ness Of student who had taken the head
Of his class in the contest for the sizer-
ship:
There, my lord, you see 1 have solv-
ed the problem, and shown your Grace
who were the parents Of Melcbisadek-
Q. T. D.-aOhich sOas required to be de-
monstrated."
And forthwith he commenced to but
ton up his oyercoat, preparatory to his
leaving the room.
The Bishop remained silent for min
ute, alternately looking from the gold to
the donor; then said, like a man born
again:
"How can Irequite you, brother Long
purse? fear the parish Of Bog Valley
is not sufficient for such a bounty. A
clergyman of your talents should ere this
be put in possession of a better living"
at is enough my lord, thank your
Grace, and sincerely hope l shall be able
to render myself worthy Of your lord
ships preferment."
"Then receive the living, with my ben
ediction,' solemnly spoke the prelate,
lifting both his hands in the attitude Of
blessing, "Be faithlul-preach the Word
like true son of the church, who has
made bis calling and election sure, giving
full proof Of his ministry to the satisiac-
tion of his Bishop. Be instant in season
and out of season--be an example u
your flock. Attend faithfully to the due
Of the ordinances. And,
above all, my dearly beloved brother, as
you value my credit and that Of your
own, keep this secret of lleIcbisadek's
ather and mother till your dying day"
The new rector of Bog Valley gave
he pledge, but having communicated the
secret to his better half, after the death
Of the Bishop, the cat got slipped out,
and in this way, many years after the
parties were in their graves, learned
the story from one who had the best right |

The scrmmage waxed warmer as it pro

"situation" described in the following
epic, which we quote:
They cinched like two rampagious bears,
And each fell on lis sit;
They swore a stream Of six-inch oaths,
And fit, and fit, and Git.

And all the litenins lit
And still them critters rolled about,
