BookD 10 Gnn His REASONS. -There is
parish not a thousand not five hundred, :
miles from Augusta, some members Of which
were not satisfied with the ministrations q the
clergyman who was at the time seteied oveA'
them. So meeting of the parish was called,
and Deacon A., a very worthy gentleman who
has the misfortune to be little hard of hear
ing, took the chair. A long discussion follow
ed in which the disaffected members gave ex-
preston to their views quite freely. Inc op-
jections to the pastor were not on accounroI
any alleged improprieties of conduct, but had
reference though the parish was Orthodox,
solely 10 his entertaining and jealousy pro-
nonndins theological views of such extreme
severity as to raise grave doubts in the minds
of his flock as to whether even the best of
them could by any possibility get to heaven
At last gentleman named B. rose to express
his opinion. He agreed mainly with those
who had spoken before him, yet he doubted IT
he had any specific charges to make against
the clergyman, Mr.. ID. He did not know, IN
deed, as he could express in words with any
accuracy his feelings on the subject and per-
haps the nearest approximation was the old
rhyme:
do not love thee, Doctor Fell,
The reason why cannot tell
But this
"Stop, stop" said the chairman, VINO Is y,
Bro. B., that says he doesn't hke Mr. ~
You must give bis name, sir" 10" said Mr..
n sr,i,;na and bland as summer mosnins,
81 ,,;o1tIv raising his voice, 81 was merely
a,,o,in@ an old rhyme and not any person at
ali. The purport of the verse, as stated be-
fore, is something like this:
do not love thee, Doctor Fell,
The reason why cannot toll,
But this alone know full well,
1 do not love thee, Doctor Fell.
Here the good chairman rose in righteous in
dignation and declared that it was an outrage
upon good manners and good morals that o
traducer of MIR. d. should be cited here, when
the slanderer did not even deign to give the
slightest reason for his preiudices. LET DR.
Fell give his reasons said the chairman
warmly, and sat down amid the suppressed
laughter Of his hearers.

The HOUSE OF LORDS AND THE IRlsH
CHURCH anticipations of intense excite
nlent In England on account of the stand
taken by the House of Lords on the Irish
church question are more than justified 1t
seems from the latest telegraphic dispatches
that in England as well as in America the
opinion prevails that the House of Lords is a
hideous anachornism that exists only by suf-
ferance. The London dispatches we refer to
are as follows: is.a
These is great excitement owing to the an
nounoemant that a majesty -I-srds IN
tend to reject the Irish Church bill. The
Standard says the peril Of the proposed action
Is obvious but the Lords will risk ALL The
Star says the Irish church must not cumber
the ground after December. The News says
the vote of the Lords can only postpone tie
fate of the Irish Church for months. The
Times thinks the result will jeopardize the
peace of all the great towns in the country.
