ALWAYS TURN OUT FOR A HOG.

Thirty five years ago. or more, a young
man then pastor Of rurnl church in the
State Of New York, was driving through
the parish village in his buggy, having at
his side tho " "senior deacon'-a very port.
Iy, heavy, good old gentleman, known par
excellence, as I" tho SQUIRE lie was very
prudent man, rather timid and careful Of
his life and limbs. nll which were Of sig.
nal benefit to "thc church and society,""
Having assembled slight elevation in the
road, the deacon observed about hundred
yards ahead, stretched on his broadside,
right across the narrow wagon track, bask.
ing in q mud puddle, a huge, fat, lazy hog
weighing probably more than three hun
,lrcd pounds.
Look there, elder" said the deacon
nervolisly, asec that old hog across the
road. Turn out" I-". .

But you must, or we shall he turned

"Can't do Il sir. have the right to the
road. The hog must give wuy."
Pony trotted on. They drew nigh the
hog. ,..
81 tell you," sail the deacon, now ner-
vously excited" turn QUITO we are gone"
by this time they were brought near to
stand still, the elder presuming that could
he arouse the attention Of the sleepy beast,
