PERIL OF A REvIvAlIsT.-An auecdote
is told of Fenny the "revivalist," and q
canner, to the following effect:
lie was "holding forth" in Rochester,
and in walking along the canal one day,
came across boatInan who was swearing
furiously. Marching up, he confronted
him and abruptly asked:
"Sir, do you know where you are 90.
ing?"
The unSuspecting man innocently re.
piled that he was going up the canal on
the Johnny Sands.
"No, sir, you are not" continued Fen.
ny; ''you are going to hell faster than .
canal boat can convey you"
The boatman looked at him in astoN.
ishment for minute, and then returned
the same question:
"Sir, do you know where you are 60.
ing?"
81 expect to go to heaven"
mo, sir, you are going into the canal"
And suiting the action to the word he
took Fenny in his arms and tossed him
into the murky waters, where he would
have drowned had not the boatman re-.
Tented and fished him out.
