Seeking Advice.

Old Father Brayne Of Syracuse, was
very popular camp-meeting leader He
used to tell in meeting, the following story !:
While conducting camp-meeting, in
Western New York, messenger arrived
at the camp to inform him that the wife
Of the chief deacon had died that morning.
Father Brayne delegated his powers to
another and started home to comfort the
bereaved widower. After twenty-miles
ride he reached the farm house, where the
deacon lived, about four in the afternoon,
On entering, he shook the widower by
the hand and sat down in silence By
and by be began to condole with the be-
reaved man, and, offered him all the con-
ISOLATION in his power.
It's very heavy grief you've got to
bear said the minister, "but you must
bear up like man
aYes," the deacon responded, 'Its a
kind o rough. Let's take walk around"
Father Brayne thinking the widower
felt i'll and depressed, and that the fresh
air would do him good, readily assented.
The deacon led him to his barns and sta
bles, and showed him over his farm. The
parson appeared to take great interest in
everything, and rejoiced to think that he
was helping to divert the deacon's mind
from his terrible sorrow. After they had
gone around the whole farm, the deacon
said
Now, minister, ye see everything's in
fine order What would you advise me to
do-bring my daughter and husband here
to manage the place, or go bucking about
among the girls again for another wife ?"

A Keokuk lady while engaged in the
pursuit of her domestic duties, encountered
mouse in the -four barrel. Now, most
ladies under similar circumstances would
have uttered few feminine shrieks and
then sought safety in the garnet. But
this one possessed more than the ordinary
degree of feminine courage. She sum
moned the hired man and told him to get
the shot gun, call the bull dog and station
himself at convenient distance Then
she climbed half way upstairs and COM
menced to punch the flour barrel vigorous
y with pole. Presently the mouse made
its appearance and started across the floor
The dog at once went in pursuit. The
man fired and the dog dropped dead.
The lady tainted and fell down the stairs,
and the hired man, thinking that she was
killed, and fearing that he would be ar
rested for murder, disappeared and has
not been seen since. The mouse escaped.
