"Au Hands Below"

From the Christian Union
A good story is told of parrot who had
always lived on board Of ship, but who
escaped at one of the Southern ports and
took refuge in church Soon afterward
the congregation assembled, and the min
lister began preaching to them in his earn
est fashion, saying there was 40 virtue in
them-that every one of them would 60 to
an endless perdition unless they repented.
Just as he spoke the sentence, up spoke
the parrot from his hiding place:
IAN hands belowl"
To say that ''all hands were startled
would be mild way of putting it. The
peculiar voice and unknown source had
much more effect upon them than the par.
sons voice ever had. lie waited a mo-
ment, and then, shade or two paler, re-
peated the warning.
"All hands below rang out again from
somewhere.
The preacher started from his pulpit
and looked anxiously around, inquiIing il

"All hands below y was the only reply,
which the entire panic-siricken congrega
ton got up, and a moment afterward they
all bolted for the doors, the preacher try

yelling: "All hands below"
There was one old womnn present who
was lame and could not get away as fast a:
the rest, and in short time she was left
entirely alone. Just as she was about tt
hobble out the parrot flew down. and
alighting on her shoulder, yelled in hel
ear: ''All hands below!

ascertained that the ladies were on intimate
