Running a Mill and loosing the erist

There is a sharp country lawyer out in
the county Of Allen, whose name is Jas.
Mehaffey. slightly of the Hibernan per
suasion, who having succeeded in the
way of making money, turned his atten-
ton to real estate, farming, &c. Among
his purchases was fine Touring mill on
the water of Hog Creek, which was su-
perintended by competent miller and
did thriving business.
Once upon day, it fell out that the
miller was away on furlough. to be gone
all day, and the proprietor happening at
the mill, found small boy in tattered
garments sitting astride bag of corn,
which lay across the back of a sorry look
ing nag. The boy said his mother had
no meal, and would have nothing to eat
unless the corn could be ground. The
proprietor said he knew nothing about
running mill, but since the case looked
like desperate one, he would try his
hand at converting sack of corn into a
sack of meal; 80 lifting the boy off his
grist, he took the corn to the hopper, threw
it in anc started the mill, which rattled off
in good style, eat up the corn, but return
ed no meal to the box. In short the grist
was totally lost.
The man and the boy hunted the mill
high and low. but the meal could not b.
found The man was in a quapdary,
the boy WAS in distress, nothing at home
to eat, and the grist lost beyond recove-
ry. The kind hearted proprietor looked
over his stores, and found few quarts
of his own mea', which he tied in cor
ner OF the boys sack and sent him home,
telling him that would keep his mother
from starving until the miller should re-
turn to find v here his grist had gone to.
The boys corn being all ground out
of the hopper, the proprietor undertook
to stop the mill, but it would not stop
He pulled one lever and then another,
but the mil ratified on with all its might.
The mill stones, having nothing to grind
took to grinding each other the fire be-
gan to fly, and the proprietor became
alarmed. He rushed to his house, mount
ed fleet horse, and told his wife he was
going i, search of the miller, and if any
bigger fool than himself should happen
along. for heavens sake get him to stop
the mill.
Away rode the man and having found
his miller ordered him to mount the horse
and lun for the mill before the thing
should set itself on fire. The miller was
not slow to obey, and having shut tie
gate, the mad wheels stopped, and all was
quiet on Hog Creek.
But the lost grist--where had it gone?
The proprietor showed the miller where
he put it in, and the whole mystery was
solved The grist had been put in the
wheat hopper, carried up in the elevators,
deposited in the bolt, through which it
could not sift SO as to reach the box, and
here it was inside the wheat bolt, where
he miller could 60 in and dip it OUT
And that is how lawyer undertook to
ruin mill and lost grist.-O. Farmer.

METHODIST OPINION oN The SoUrHERx AlEra-
oDIsr PASTORAL ADBREss.-The Methodist for
last week comments as .folIows upon The Pas
toral Address Of the southern Methodist
bishops:
Ii Is clear that these Southern leaders have
learned no wisdom from the past: that they
cherish with iondness the souvenirs Of the
rebellion; that they are determined 10 foster
m the lainds Of Their tioclcs the opinions and
the spirit which led 10 rebellion. LOYAL
men will indignan ly ask, "For what end Is
this doneg Is it lher design 70 make the
Southern Methodist Episcopal Church the
nursery Of future treasons and future out
breaks against the authority Of the Onion?
In This document the bishops have written
the death warrant Of southern Meihodism.
No church which thus cherishes a hatred of
loyal men because % their devotion Of Free
dom and Union, can stand be ore the Anefi-
can people. The ever-intensilying indigna-
ton against the pro-slavcry and rebclllous
spirit VIII shorten its days. The Southern
bishops have had offered To them an obliv-
ION Of the past, and the opportunity OF en-
tering upon new life. They have prefer
red 10 haunt their past, odiops as isis 10 all
true men, in our faces, and 10 glory in Il as
a badge of distinction. Hanc3l0rlh they
are known and read OF US all.

To reeapitulate, in brief. the matter in

Ward, who, in 1861, organised a force Of
Chinese soldiers 10 resist the invasions Of
the Taepings round shsnghae, was killed
in October, 1859, ne was succeeded by an
other American adventurer named Bar
geoine. Burgeoine's operations were crowned
with even more success than his predeces-
sor's. He was promoted to a General, and
was in a fair way to expel the Taepings
