SLIGHTLY MISTAKEN. An old Dutch
farmer had a handsome daughter
named Minnie, who recently Joined
the Methodist church, against which
the old farmer was somewhat preiu-
diced. The young minister under
whose instrumentality Miss Minnie
was converted, visiting her frequently
excited his suspicion that all was not
right. Accordingly, he visited the
church one Sunday night, and seated
himself, unobserved, among the con.
gregation.
Soon after taking his seat the min
lister, who was preaching from Daniel
5th chapter, 25th verse, repeated in O
loud voice the words of his text
"Mene meme, tekol upharsin," upon
which the old FARMER sprang to hi,
feet seized the affrighted girl by the
arm, and hurried her out Of the meet
ing house. Having reached the church
yard, he gave vent to his feelings in
the words;

EXTRAORDINARY PULPIT MIsTAKE.--
Last Sundays local preacher connect
ed with the Primitive Methodist per
suasion was planned to preach at
Elland, he residing at Huddertield.
Being a comparative stranger to El-
land, he inquired the way to the Prim-
tive Methodist Chapel, but by mistake
was directed 10 the Unitarian Chapel.
Arriving at the verge Of time for com
mencing the service, he introduced
himself as the preacher, requested to
conduct the service for the day, and
as the regular minister was away, no
particular inquiry was made, and the
'1ocal preacher" mounted the pulpit
and gave out a hymn. All went well
until he came 10 prayer, which was OF
so fervid and evangelical character
that suspicion began TO be aroused if
some mistake had not arisen in the
preacher. AZ the close of the prayer
he vas asked where he was planned
for. and he answered Elland Primitive
Methodist Chapel The mistake was
at once apparent, and he was made
aware oft He of course, descended
the pulpit. The person who had been
arranged to conduct the service had
taken a seat in the body Of the chapel
imagining that he had been gifted.
