Doubtful Theology.

A friend whom we shall call Pat, for
short" tells the following good story Of him
self:
When but an idle boy, he was called up in
a country school, and the question suddenly
propounded by the pedagogue: Patrick, how
many Gods are there !" Pat, who was not a
very distinguished theologian then, and years
have made him "no better fast" in such
matters, but he very promptly responded -
"Three sir" "Take your seat" thundered
the master. and if in five minutes VOW don't
answer correctly, I'll welt your
The probation period passed, and Pat taking
the floor, hesitatinsly stated the number Of
Gods at five, sir" He received the promised
welting, and renanded to his seat for ten min
utes more consideration. Ten minutes up, Pat
was up, too, and satisfied that he had not fixed
the number sufficiently high before, shouted
" There's ten, sr!' He saw the ferule decend'
ing. and, boiling out Of the door, he cleared
fye-rail fence and broke like a quarter horse
across the field. Painting with exertion heme'
lad witha book under his arm, and, with tho
look Of one desiring the pursuit Of knowledge
under difficulties. asked: Where are you
going?" "To school yonder, was the prompt
reply. "You are. are you ?" said Pat quickly
" How many Gods are there ?? One an
swered the boy. "Well, you'd better not 60
down there. You'll have good time with
vour one God. I've just left there with ten
and that was not enough to save me from th'
daruedest lickin you ever heard Of"

MISCELLANY.
A Backwood's Adventure.

A Virginia banker, who was the chairman
of noted Infdel Club, was once travelling
through Kentucky, having with him bank bills
of the value of twenty-five thousand dollars
When he came to a lonely forest, where rob-
berries and murders were said to be so frequent
he was soon lost, through taking wrong road.
The darkness of night came quickly over him,
and how to escape from the threatened danger
he knew not In his alarm, he suddenly es-
pied. in the distance, dim light, and urging
his horse onward he at length came toa wretch
ed looking cabin. He knocked, and the door
was opened by woman, who said that her
husband was out hunting, but would shortly
return, and she was sure he would cheerlully
give him shelter FORTH night. The gentleman
put up his horse and entered the cabin, but
with feelings that can be better imagined than
described Here he was, with a large sum of
money, and perhaps in the house of one OF the
robbers whose name was terror TO the country.
In a short time, the man Of the house return
ed. He had on deer-skin shirt, bear-skin
cap. seemed much fatigued, and in no talka-
tive mood All this boded the nfdel no good.
He felt for his pistols in his pocket, and placed
them so as to be ready for instant use. The
man asked the stranger to retire to bed, but he
declined. saving that he would sit by the fire
all night. The man urged, but the more he
urged, the more the infdel was alarmed. lie
felt assured that this was his last night upon
earth. but he determined TO sell his life as dear
" as he could. Hisinfdel principles gave him
no comfort. His fear grew into perfect agony
What was to be done2
Atlength the backwOodsman rose, and reach
ing to the wooden shelf, took down an old
book and said
"Well stranger, if you won't go to bed will
but it is my custom always to read a chapter
of the Holy Scriptures before | 60 to bed"
What change did these words produce =
Alarm was at once removed from the skeptic's
mind. Though avowing himself an infidel, he
had new confidence in the Bible. Hefelt safe.
He felt that man who kept an old Bible IN
his house. and read it, and bent his knees in
prayer, was no robber or murderer. He listen
ed to the simple prayer of the good man, at
once dismissed all his fears, and lay down
in that rude cabin and slept as calmly as he
did under his fathers roof. From that night
he ceased to revile the good old Bible. He be-
came sincere Christian, and often related the
story of his eventful journey to prove the folly
of infdelity.

How the Parson Got Excited.

A few years since, near the city of ",

One day he had been in the city with his horse

and passed by fast young man, driving fast
horse. and putting on much airs. Now the
parsons horse was usually quiet steady going

thing: so he started after him Of the fast order.
in good earnest.
The iolting Of the wagon at length Jared
the head completely OF the barrel, and tho
strong wind which was blowing directly after
the parson. blew the flour all over him and the
horse. At last the fast young man was left,
and the village reached bat the speed OF his
horse was not checked.
In driving through a street to reach his
home, he came in contact with one Of his dea-
cons, who was naturally surprised to see his
minister driving at such pace, and signaled
him 10 stop.
"Why, Parson P" said he, "what on
earth is the ma:tcr2 You seem greatly excl
