A MINISTER FAILED TO SAVE HIS BACoN."-
Twas the solemn hour o, midnight, when, after
laboring upon sermon to that late hour for the
benefit of the wicked, weary with mental toll, the
faithful minister extingushed his midnight lamp,
and, humbly kneeling, before seeking from
stirred natures sweet restorer-balmy Sleep
the repose he so much needed, prayed earnestly
for the salvation of the imperishable souls of
those who were yet without the ark of safety"
-heedlessly drifting on the current of the dark
food towards the m@lstrom of inevitable de-
struction. Not far off, one or more upon Grim
inal MISSION watched with impotence the ex-
tinguishment of that minister's midnight lamp,
and as soon as that occurred-whilst, it may have
been, the minister was yet upon his knees pray
ing for the salvation of their souls-crept STEALTH
ly to his smoke-house, and robbed it of nine
hams besides several other pieces of bacon
This scene which was enacted, we sorry to
say, in this place, on Saturday night week ago,
would furnish fit subject for picture with the
darkest Rembrandt shading Rev. VIM. E. Ba-
ker, Pastor of the Presbyterian church, is the
minister whose bacon was stolen on the occasion
mentioned.
SOME writer has wittily aid that poetry is the
flower of literature; prose is the corn, potatoes
and meat satire is the aquafOrtis wit is the spice

gar and letters containing remittances are the

We have decided preference for the apple
