A CLERICAL JOKE,

Many years ago there was in the eastern
part Of Massachusetts worthy old D. D., and
though he was an eminently benevolent man
and good Christian, yet it must be confessed
he loved joke much better than the majority
even ofinveterate jokers. Itwas before church
organs were much in use, and it so happened
that the choir of his church had recently pur-
chased double bass viol. Not far from the
church was a large town pasture, and in it a
huge town bull One hot Sabbath in summer
the bull got out of the field, and came below
ing up the street. About the church there
was a plenty of untrodden grass, green and
good, and Mr.. Bull stopped to try its quality
perchance to ascertain if its location had at all
improved its favor-at any rate while the
DR.. was in the midst of his sermon, boo.woo-
WOO. went the bull The clergyman paused,
looked up at the Singing seats with a grave
face, and said, II would thank the musicians
not to tune their. instruments during service
time, as it annoys me very much" -
The people stared and the minister went
on. Boo-woo-woo-woo went the bull as he
passed to- another green spot. The parson
paused again and addressed the choir: 81 do
really. wish the, singers would not tune their
instruments while | am preaching, for, as
have already remarked, it annoys me very
much" The people Uttered, for they knew
by the merry twiukling Of his eye that he
knew as we'll as anybody what the real state
ofthe case was-he went on with his discourse.
Boo-woo-woo said the bull. The parson
stopped, and again said to the choir, 81 have
twice already requested the musicians in the
gallery not to tune their instruments during
sermon time I do particularly request
Lefavor, that you will not tune your double
base vioP while am preaching" Lefavor
got up, much agitated at the idea of Speak
ing toitt in church," and stammered out: "It's
not me, Parson B., it's th-th-th-that
darn'd town bull" "Ohw said the parson,
"then the sexton will please drive away the
bull" The people laughed but with graf
fled look at the success of his joke he went on
with his sermon.

"COME TO ME.o

"COME TO ME-"
Men often organize themselves into socie
ties, and devise signs and adopt words and
phrases, by which they recognize each other
Military organizations have their watch
words and countersigns Amongst Christians
the same thing, in kind, exists. The watch
word is "Come." This is the word of invita-
ton, and the word of final appreciation. Tc
the sinner, burdened with iniquity, the Sa
viour says "Come to me, and will give you
rest" The test of a new heart is coming tc
Jesus. During the whole of our earthly pill
grimage, Jesus says: "Come to me-" TO the
sinner, lost and ruined, he says: "Come tc
me, and I will pardon your iniquities." Te
the justified believer he says: "Come to me
and 1 will, by my word and spirit, sanctify
you in soul and body, and prepare you fol
that everlasting rest which remains for the
redeemed in heaven" To his trembling dis
ciples, Jesus says: "Come to me, with all
your doubts and fears; will enlighten your
minds and dispel all your fears" To the
Christian, during the whole of life's journey
the word of invitation and encouragement
is" Come with me y and when the last days
march is ended, and the boundary which sep
arates time and eternity reached, Jesus says
to the believer: "Come with me, fear no ill
my rod,and my staff they will comfort you.
Life's jotffney ended, and the, affairs Of this
world settled, and the sleeping millions
aroused from the slumbers of the grave, and
the whole of Adams race assembled before
the Judge, seated upon great white throne
the word of invitation and encouragement
becomes word of appreciation. Before ar
assembled universe, and in the presence o.
His Father and the Holy Spirit, he will say
to those who have obeyed the invitation
"Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the
Kingdom prepared for you from the. founda
tion of the world" The word of gracious
invitation and of glorious appreciation is the
same. The gracious invitation Of the sinner
into the kingdom of heaven on earth, and the
welcome of the saint into the kingdom Of
heaven on high, is in the same, or nearly the
same words. From the beginning of grace tc
its termination in glory, the watch-word is
"Come with me"

They assented, for the fox was solemn and
oracular. The tiger walked into the cage,
and the spring door fell and shut him in.
He was prisoner. The judicial expression
faded from the fox's countenance, and turn
ing to the Brahmin, he said: 81 advise you
to go home as fast as you can. and abstain,
in the future, from doing favors to rascally

A HINDOO STORY.

A tiger, prowling in the forest, was attracted
by beautiful calf It proved to be bait,
and the tiger found himself trapped in a
spring cage. There he lay two days, when a
Brahmin happened to pass that way.
90, Brahmin" piteously cried the beast,
"have mercy on me; let me out OF this cage"
"Ah but you will eat me-"
"Eat you! devour my benefactor |? Never
could I be guilty Of such deed" responded
the tiger. -" :. :.
The Brahmin being benevolently inclined, ,
was moved by these entreaties and opened
the door of the cage. The tiger walked up to
him, wagged his tail, and said, "Brahmln,
prepare to to die; I.shall now eat YOU"
20, how ungrateful how wicked am not
your saviour?" protested the trembling priest.
"True, said the tiger, livery true; but 1t Is
the custom of my race to eat man when we
get chance, and I cannot afford to let you
Co." y
"Let US submit the case to an arbitrator"
said the Brahmin. "Here comes fox. The
fox is wise; let us abide by his decision"
Every WE'LL" replied the tiger.
The fox, assuming judicial aspect, sat on
his launches with all the dignity he could
muster, and looking at the disputants he said !:
"Good friends, 1 am somewhat confused at
the different accounts which you give of this
matter; my mind is not clear enough to rem.
der equitable Judgment. But if you will be
kind enough to act the whole transaction be-
fore nv ewes, I shall attain unto a more def
mite conception of the case. Do you, Mr..
TIGER show ME how YOU approached and en-
tered the cage, and then Mr.. Brahmin will

r@. A party of soldiers were sitting together
talking of their adventures during the war,
and, as is generally the case, some pretty hard
yarns were told. The conversation finally
turned on promotions, when a tall Teutonic
broke forth with: "Ill tell you something
about that, boys. When joined the cavalry
1 hadn't been long in this country, and didn't
understand much English. We we're sent up
in the Valley, and at the battle of Winches-
ter We were ordered to charge battery. Well,
the captain gave the order to charge, and
away We went in fine STYLE The Johnnies
opened on us with grape and canister. Many
q horse tumbled over, and plenty of saddles
were emptied. That didn't make any differ
ence; we went straight ahead. Suddenly the
captain gave the order to retreat. The whole
company turned and went back except me.
You see didn't understand the order, so I
kept on and charged right in among them
and, by Joe, i captured the whole battery and
brought it in myself. Now, III tell you how
it turned out. The next day the captain was
made a major, che first lieutenant was made
captain, and-"Well, what did they do with
you ?" enquired listener. "Why, they put
me in the guard house because wouldn't tell
n lie"
