Better to live in long cabin all your own

Better to sit, by pine table for which you

Better to use the old cane seated chairs and

How DoCToRs DIFFER.-Among the edify-
ing proceedings of the recent Episcopal Dio.
cesan Council at Milwaukee for the election Of
a bishop Rev. Mr.. Vsrmiye said that six
doctors of divinity had lied. IF he had said
that one doctor was mistaken it would have
been all right, unless he was wrong, but to
charge six d. D. with lying was g fat burg
lary," even though he was right. In spirit
of proper indignation the Rev. DR.. Magofin
declared that such language was outrageous
and asked the reporters to notice it. They net
only noticed this, but so many other noisy and
disgraccfuI proceedings that we are inclined
to think, the clergy of the diocese of Wiscon-
sin need discipline in both morals and man
ners.-N y Herald

him to get out; to which Bitters replied by
swapping at his fingers, as he attempted to
