A STRANGE PREACHER. FEARS
ago, as Father Toler and other citi-
zens remember, there was in Madison
a pioneer preacher whose name
was Strange ohm Strange, man
tall in stature, much loved, faithful
minister of the New Testament. 1t
was before our time that he was here,
but from association with those that
knew him who yet Finger in our good
old town we have learned to love his
name, and revere his memory. A re-
cent reference to him in Murry's Nag
dzine, though not new to us, may be
of interest to some of our readers. We
have said his name was strange. Many
will think his conduct was strange
also. He was a Jealous preacher and
sweet singer. Nothing gave him so
much pleasure as to 60 about the
country preaching and singing. A
gentleman we'll off in worldly goods, de-
string to make him and his family COM
Portable in their declining years. gener-
ously presented him with title-deed
for three hundred and twenty acres of
land. Strange accepted the donation
with thankfulness, and went ON his
way, preaching and singing as he went.
But after few months he returned
and requested his generous friend to
take the title-deed. Surprised at the
request, the gentleman inquired:
Is there any flaw in, it2 -

A CRACKED CoMMANDMENT.-We
heard a Suggestive expression related
che other day, of a very little girl,
who was taken by her mother into a
shop, where a tempting basket Of
oranges stood for sale, While, her
mother was engaged in another part
ofithe room, the little one feasted her
eFesacon the fruit, and nursed the
in her heart till it grew too
strong to be resisted, rand she. hid one
of the oranges under her apron, and
walked quickly away But conscience
demonstrated so strongly that, after a
little reflection she walked quickly
back and as slyly replaced theEorange
In the basket. Again the forbidden
fruit, out Of possession, presented its
tempting side, and again she yielded.
With 4saddened countenance she
walked home with her mother and
when they were alone burst into
tears, exclaiming;; z Oh, mother, 1
