This done for the purpose of clean

He is then taken out of the cauldron
and by means:of forced pump gorg~
ed with cistern water, after which q
sealing plaster is put over bis mouth
and be is rolled in barrel four or
five times across the room.
The choir at the same tine singing
the cold water song.
He is now taken out of tho barrel
and hung up by the heels till the wa.
ter runs out through MIA ears.

The Exact Truth.

His companion advised him to throw

You're too particular"
"My mother" replied his compan-

so little an untruth is a lie, and q lie is
no trifie." @avra

well but am not lying, and do not

Anecdote Of Parson Bro willow.

q
| see that the report that Parson
Brownlow is dying is denied. did
not ccedit it at first. The Parson
holds on TO life with y wonderful te>
nacity, and has been as good as
dead several times before. In the
year 1861, missionary of the Meth
odist Church South, while returning
to his home in Kentucky, stopped
here in New York, when he rela-
ted to me the following anecdote
concerning the Parson, which will lie
lustrate his recuperative powers
| produce as nearly as possible the
language of the narrator:
"A few years ago, on former yis>
it home, | went down to Knoxville
few days. While there member of
the Parsons family called upon me
and said that he wished me, being
Methodist minister, to go to the house
and see him. I did SO, and on ar,
irving there bis wife and others ex>
pressed some solcitude conserving
the Parsons religions condition and
asked me to go up aud pray with
him, which |, Of course, consented
to do. Following one of the family
| ascended to small bedroom and
the guide retired. The Parson lay
upon his back his eyes closed and
he apparently noticed nothing that
was going on, and was near to
death. His friends did not think he
would live through the day. / ap-
preached the bed and taking him by
the hand called him by name. He
half opened his eyes and fixed them
upon me, when / said: 'Parson your
family have some solicitude in re-
gard to the religious condition of
your mind, and have requested me
to come up and talk and pray with
You No sooner had these senten-
ces escaped my lips than he in an
instant sat bolt,up in bed, straight and
stiff as hoe handle, and fixing his
eyes upon me said in a most emphat.
ic manner Tell my family and
friends that they need have no con-
Germ about my soul. | shall live
for twenty years yet to fight the
Democrats and hard>shell Baptists.
From that time he grew better and
was on his feet again in q few weeks
time"
