THE JOURNAL.


And al the moro paiatable be
cause it is true, and can be vouched
for, took place few Sundays since
at one Of the prominent New Jersey
churches. It seems that a worthy
deacon had been very industrious IN
selling a new church book, costing
seventv-ive cents. At the service
in question, the minister, just before
dismisinq. the congregation, rose and
said. HAll YOU who have children
to baptlze will present them next
Sabbath" The deacon, who, by the
way. was little deaf, having an eye
to selling the books, and supposing
his pastor was referring to them, i'm
mediately jumped up and shouted,
sAnd all you who haven't any, can
get as many as you want by calling
on me, at seventy-five cents EACH
The preacher looked eross-eyed at
the brothers, the brothers looked at
the clergymen; the audience punched
the audience in the side. the bubble
grew larger until it burst into LOUD
gufaw; ladies colored up, crimsoned
blushed, and thanked the lord tor
the low price ofpeopling the earth
There was no benediction that NOR
ming worth speaking Of
The deacon, after be had found
out his mistake, changed his pew
from the front Of the church to the
third from the rear; and though hC
cannot hear the sermon, he is con
soled with the thought that th'
Young ladies can't sniker at him.

The Funniest yarn of the Season


Out on the Union Pacific road. not
long ago, a Kicappoo Indian saw q
locomotive coming down the track al
tue rate of forty miles an hour. He
thought it was an imported breed OF
buffalo, and vas anxious to secure it
so as to take the prize at the annual
exhibitionofthe KieappooAgricultn
al Society. So he fastened one end
of his lasso to his waistbelt, and
when the engine got near enough
he threw the moose nicely over the
