A Yankee, from the Green Mountains,
visited the city Of London. While passing
through one Of the thoroughfares, his at
tention was attracted by some specimens Of
writing paper, exposed for sale in a shop
window. Seeing the proprietor Of the shop
standing at the door, the Yankee ciyilly
inquired what he did with "thsm nice bits
Of paper"
eve keep them to tie up cape seed in"
said the cockney, snappishly.
"Oh, ye du--du ye? said Johnathan.
Passing down the street few steps, our
indignant Yankee saw another merchant.
4 say, mister, can you tell me what that
feller does for livin' what keeps them ere
nice bits Of paper at the winder?"
Eyes, sir. He is small dealer in paper,
and a sort Of scribe. He writes letters for
persons"
4 reckon It is very small dealer, and
that he is Pharisee as well as a scribe. Do
you think he will write letter for me if |
pay him for it?'
"Yes, sir; | suppose he will"
The Yankee thrust his hands into his
pockets almost Up to the elbows, and walked
back
q say, mister, they say as how you sell
and write letters for folks what can't write.

sister Sally?"

"Will 70 write just what | tell ye, and
spell the wordsright, as we do in Vermont"
"To be sure will"
"Well, guess you may write to Sally"
The Londoner procured pen, ink and
paper, and the Yankee commenced debating
after the usual style:
"Dear sister Sally"
H'Rived in town last week"

"Thought Id 60 into the country and
take ride"
"Wsl, the old mare baked. She wouldn't

"This page is full Of licked hers
"Furn over then-licked her licked her

"You are not intending to say that as

"None Of your business pay you

AN Exchange says; They have man in
Lock Haven whose name is Gaudam. His
would be nice name for church deacon.
For instance, the preacher would say, "Gau,
dam, you pass the plate" Sounds like

we would have our Gaudam name changed
to something more reyerential.

On EMPHAsIs.--Some years ago there was
o student at theological seminary, at An
dover, who had an excellent opinion OF his
own talents. On one occasion he asked
the professor who taught elocution at the
time, "What do especially need to learn
in this Department." :" "You ought to learn
to read" said the professor. "0h; | can
read now" replied the student. The pro-
tessor handed the man Testament and,
pointing to the twenty-ifth verse OF the
the twentyfourth chapter Of Luke's gospel
asked him to read that. The student read
"'Then he said unto them, o fools, and slow
of heart 70 belieoe all that the prophets have
spoken" "Ah," said the professor, "they
were fools for believiag the prophets, were
theyf' OF course that was not right, and
50 the young man tried again 20 fools
and slow Of heart to believe all that the
prophets have spoken" "'The prophets,
then, were sometimes liars 2" asked the
professor. "Noj o fools and slow OF
heart to believe all that the prophets have
spoken" According to this reading" the
professor suggested, "the prophets were
notorious liars" This was not satisfac-
tory conclusion, and SO another trial was
made. 30 fools and slow Of heart to be-
lieye all the prophets hare spoken" al
see now" said the professor; "the prophets
wrote the truth, but they spoke lies;" This
last criticism discouraged the student, and
be acknowledged that he did not know how
to read. The difficulty lies in the fact that
the words "slow Of heart to believe" apply
to the whole Of the latter part Of the SEN
tence, and emphasis on any particular word
entirely destroys the meaning.
