How He Would Have Preached.

In a letter to the Western Christian Adc0cate,
Bishop Kingsley tells the following amusing
anecdote of the ingenious plan by which Meth
odist preacher circumvented the efforts vi relig-
ious bigot, in one of the small States of Ger
many, to prevent him from preaching:
On one OCCASION when the congregation had
assembled, and the preacher was all ready to be-
gin his discourse, u psremptory order came for.
bidding him TO preach. This was great disap-
pointment to the people, as mary g ten or
twelve miles on foot to hear preaching
The preacher arose and expressed his deep
regret at being forbidden to preach to them
Said he:
ut would have harmed no one if had been
allowed to preach. l was intending to preach
from the following text" He here named the
text that he should have preached from if he had
been allowed.
"And them" said he, II intended to divide the
subject so and So" He here gave the divisions
OF the subject as he should have made them had
he been permitted.
''Then | had designed to treat the first divis-
ion in the following way" lie here told them
what he should have said ON the first division
had he not been hindered
"And then intended had not been proven.
ted, to have said the following things under the
second head"
And so he went on and told his hearers how
he should have begun, continued and ended his
discourse had he not been prohibited from doing
So Of course, this man had been in America

FISHING FOR DUCKs-U0n tie DutchBaA's
Geese Ne,o d,cdy and Neccr RtluyueG. There
COOS the old Dutchman who had the dangerous
geese" exclaimed friend in the country, the
other day, calling our attention to Dutchman
of the "old school," who was walking slowly
along tho road, We asked for an explanation
"Why, when the Yankees first began to settle
here he was joined by slab-sided specimen of
en-, as he was picking up the quilts that his
geese had dropped in their chattcring morning
waddles, by the edge of an oblong pond at the
roadside. Presently one of the geese stretched
out his long neck at the Yankee who started and
ran is if mad dog were at his heels.
81 dold him. said the old dutchman, "not to
DO afraid dat de geese wouldn't hurt um any ;
but de geese did run after him, dough. clear over
the hill, and none of um wouldn't give um no
rest any more; whenever he came along dc street,
believe dey had a spite agin the Yankees.
Mein gracious its curious, dough, dat do geese
always went away, and didn't come back any

The secret OF that was, that the Yankee. who
was 80 afraid of the Dutchman's geese, had thrown
| ont kernels of corn, among which was one with \
fish.hook attached. Once swallowed, the above
goose was in tow OF the flying fugitive.

Mr.. Dickens cannot complain of wanting an
eulogist in the United States In this nest littfo
pamphlet Of pen photographs Kate Field has done
ful Justice and little more than justice to the
distinguished author and reader. She Is an enthusi-
astlc admrcr of Charles Dickens ks writer reader
and orator, and gives expression toher admiration
as only woman with an ardent and refined nature
would express 1t. Making due allowance, however,
for her exuberant fancy and ready susceptibility,
must say she has drawn some striking and faithful
pictures and shown fine critical tayte. Those who
have heard Mr. Dickens may enjoy over again the
pleasure they had IN hearing him by reading these
admirable sketches, and those who h we not heard
him may get good idea Of his style. manner and
ability from Miss Fields pen "Pcn photographs"
will In manner perpetuate Dickens readings after

children as the feast OF the Purim, and last night
this festival was celebrated at Murzingers Hall, In

this annual feast. At an early hour yesterday even

accompanied by their parents who desired to par

Others in charge of an elder brother or sister, who
also felt the inspiration Of mcrrlment which seemed
to influence each juvenile as, arrayed In their fan

the new Senator from Maryland on the ground
that Maryland has not "a republican form of
government" because she does not permit mig
gers to vote. Under the same ruling New
York might also be excluded from the United
States Senate. Even Massachusetts herself
had not republican form of government at
the time Of the adoption of the constitution, if
her Senator's view of such government is
correct one. Indeed, only six States Of the
wholeUnion would be entitled to representa-
tion on Summers theory. Senators from those
States would, therefore, make laws for the
whole Union, and yet the Senator pretends to
urge his folly in behalf of government "by the
whole people" When the illustrious enthusi-
ast whose progress" has been written down
by Bunyan first discovered what badly man
aged world this was, and bothered people with
his talk on the subject, his sensible relations
perceived what was the matter and immedi-
ately put him to bed. Somebody should do as
much for Sumner.
