Two Geese in a Church.

An English journal vouches for the
truth of the following: A few Sabbaths
ago, while a minister was conducting
public worship in one of the West Main
land churches, the service was inter-
rupted by the entrance of goose. The
psalm had just been given out, the con-
gregation were beginning to sing when
the circumstance attracted the attention
of the precentor, who so far forgot him
self that he lost the tune. During the
silence which consequently intervened,
the minister whispered to one of the
Office bearers to put out the goose. The
Office bearer being ignorant of the pres
ence of a bona 6de animal of the species,
thought it was the precentor that was re.
ferred to, and laid hold of him with the
intention of executing his instructions,
which he would have done, our cores
pondent adds, had the precentor not
made a powerful resistance.

Pauls church, the former couple to get

man, the Rev. Mr. Dunn, supposing that
both couples were to be married, re-
quested the gentlemen to join hands with
their respective ladies, which was done,
and in very short space of time the
four were made two. The situation being
fully realized by tho latter couple, they
concluded to accept what they could not
very we'll help, and all adjourned to their
boarding house, quite well pleased with
the result of the preachers mistake"

there twiddling sheet of music, prepa-
ratory to the initatofy screech, feel
like screeching myself Now if she
would just trot on, in her morning gown,

naturally down in her old rocking-chair,

Of running her voice up and down the
scales for an hour to show me how high
and how low she can go without drop
ping down in fit, I'd like it. One trial
of her voice that way, to test its capa-
city, satisfies me. 1t is as good as a
dozen, and great deal better.

it. That running up and down the
scales that way isn't music" Then if
you knew the agony of perspiration I'm
in, when drawing near the end of her
musical gymnastics she essays to wind

would split her throat at once or stop.

presently she will catch up that blue

only to come and do it all over again, in
obedience to that deadhead encore. You
see all this machinery disenchants me.

Of course my taste isn't cultivated,

Sometimes, when passing these concert
rooms of an evening, / hare caught

it. with the help of the darkness and the
glimmering stars, and the fresh wind on
my forehead, and blessed ignorance of
the distorted mouth and heavng milli-
