ALWAYS TURN Our FOR A Hoo.-Thir-
ty>hve years ago, or more, young man,
then pastor of rural church in tie State
OF New York, was driving through the
parish villags-in his buggy. having at his
side the senior deacon. a very portly,
heavy old gentleman, known par excel
Lence as ''the Squire" He was a very
prudent man, rather timid and careful OF
his life and limbs. all of which we're of
signal benefit to ''the church and the go
eiety.' Having assembled a slight eleva-
ton IN the road the deacon observed
about a hundred yards ahead, stretched
on his broadsids right across the narrow
wagon track, basking in mud puddle,
huge. fat, lazy hog, weighing perhaps
more than three hundred pounds.
Look there, elder" said the deacon,
nsrvously; ''see that old hog across the
road. Turn out"
81 see sir" said the elder. 81 can t
turn out"
But you must, or We shall be turned
over"
Cant do it, sir. have the right to
the road. The hog must give way"
Poney IrOtted on. They drew nigh
the hog.
81 tell yOu." said the deacon, now
nervously excited, "turn out or we are
gone"
OUT

TIE SPEECH MAKING MANIA.-An ex-
change speaks OF the growing habit of
the American people to call for speeches,
on all DECISIONS, and from all sorts of meD
whether gifted with the faculty OF easy,
loroible speech or not. This habit, it
says, is lowering the standard of rhetorical
excellence and affecting the public taste.
Instead fjust thought in eloquent and
vigorous language, we get simply words
without meaning, and eternal repetition,
pine parts apology fos having nothing to
say, aud one part gratitude for having
been patiently listened to. The crowd
care for nothing that is said, they are
merely anxious that there should be a
speech. and, given that, they shout com
fortably or hOuI with rapture. nobody
pretends to remember anything except
the reporters, and even their memories
are not very severely taxed. Poor gen
tlemen! they have heard it all before! l;
is only to small aud gaFulous men, it Is
only to administrations which cannot af-
ford to discuss measures and politics il
the forum, that this condition of things
can be agreeable orprofiabe!
