A GOOD STORY.

Deacon d. was very much inter-
ested ia revival that was taking
place in the neighborhood, and as a
consequence was continually urging
his neighbors to como over on the
Lords side, as he expressed it. He
had frequently importuned an old
neighbor Of his who was not partic-
ularly noted for his profession of re-
ligion, but was nevertheless highly
respected by ell who knew him--to
attend one Of their evening meetings.
Now the piety and honesty Of the
deacon was a matter Of doubt among
his fellow-townsman, and particular
ly with the old man above mention
ed who for convenience, we may call
Uncle Josh consented to accompany
the deacon to one Of the meetings,
and accordingly accompanied him
to the school-house one evening
much to the surprise of all present.
In the course Of the evening the dea-
con arose with . penitential coun-
tenance to tell his experience. He
was the prince Of sinners, he said.---
If he got his deserts he would be
banished forever from Divine favor.
After making himself out 70 be all
that il vile in man according to his
Interpretation Of The that humbleth
himself shall be exalted" he sat
down with the sublime sense of hav-
ing done his duty, and asked Uncle
Josh IL he wouldn't tell his ex-
perience. With some reluctance he
meekly arose amid the breathless at
sention Of the assembly. It was an
unknown occurrence for Uncle Josh
to speak in meeting He said ne
had listened with interest to the re.
marks Of the deacon, and he could
assure the bretheen that from his
long acquaintance with him, he
could indorse all the deacon had said
concerning bis mesnness and vile
ness, for he was certainly the mean
est man he ever knew. The wrath
Of the deacon was terrific. he
shook his fist under Uncle Josh's
nose and exclaimed, "You are con
founded liar, and III whip you so
soon as you can get out Of church J"

THE Two MEN.

OSE of our exchanges puts it in
this way: james Gordon Bennett,
of the New York Herald, last week
gave $50, 900 to the suffering poor
Of New York city. About the same
time Robert Bonner, of the New
York Ledger, gave $4,000 for q
farm near larry town, on which to
keep his horses. In the amounts Of
the two investments there is a slight
difference. In their character the
difference Is unreasonable.

The past week has been God-send

and many are getting ready to plant
corn this week.
The wheat prospect never was better

with hollow stomachs. Feed is very
