The Deacon and His Calf.

LAST Sunday, just as one Of our straight
est deacons was getting ready to shake the
lines over his horses back and say ge
dap" his wife happened to remember
that the calf hadn't been fed The deacon
looked at his Sunday clothes and observed
that he did not deem it incumbent upon
him to suffer for the negligence Of others;
to which the deacOness replied that such
language in the presence Of the children
on a Sunday morning, and from pillar
of the church, was enough to shake ones
belief in the professions that had been
made by some one she could name. The
deacon then handed the lines to his old
est boy and climbed over the wheel with
out saying word. He went around to
the back door and took the front-dOOr key
from under the mat, came around to the
front door, and as he was trying to put the
key in the hole the key slipped from his
hand and slid down into the mud Finally
he got into the kitchen and started for the
barnyard with the milk. He set the
pail down on the ground and called TO
the calf, but the beast whisked its tail In
the air and beloved at him. Then he
captured the animal and pulled it alongby
the ears and jammed its head into the pail,
but the calf gave a spring, sending the
milk in cloud of spray over the deacOn's
shirt-front. In trying to recapture the
beast the deacon dropped his hymn-book
out of his pocket, and before he could res 4
cue it the calf stepped both feet on it and
tore the cover off. The deacon got mad.
He took hoop-pole and belabored the
calf. One end of the pole struck the shed,
and bounding up knocked the deacon's
plug hat off. 1t rolled directly under the
calf, who set his foot through the tile, and
then went tearing around the yard with
his tail in the air and that hat fastened
lust above the knuckle joint. The deacon
went into the house, and as he unbuckled
his shirt-collar he called out: Maria Won
go on to church, and if ANYBODY asks
after me tell them | stayed at home to feed

A Defer of Instinct.

TIE Pail Nall Gazette says: "In the
present day a conviction seems to be
dawning on the minds of many that it is
well not to stake too much on the certain
operation Of instinct of any sort. An i'm
petus will perhaps be given to this tenden-
cy toward caution by the action of a rat
not indeed a seceder from the opposite
camp, but b0na.fde rat-who had de-
clined to follow the course assigned to
him by the best biologists. This rat was
destined the other day as breakfast for s.
serpent in the ,Tarden dies Plantes at Paris,
and was with this purpose introduced into
the cage Of the reptile. 1t was unques-
tionably the rats duty, on being brought
face to face with the serpent, to have be-
come fascinated and to have obeyed the
instinct which is supposed to deliver
such small deer an unresisting prey to
the destroyer. Far from fulfilling the
duty additionally incumbent upon him,
this daring innovator flew at the throat of
the snake and bit it so severely as to pro-
duce instant death and loss to the garden
of about 1000 francs worth of serpent
This unexpected result has, however, had
the good effect of determining the man.
ayers Of the Jarden DIES Plantes to feed
their reptiles upon dead animals only, the
fascination theory having proved an
utter failure"

The Rev. Mr.. Hammond is a reyi-
valist Of religion, not Of poetry.
With heavenly aid he can make the
wayward sinner turn, but though all
the muses. lend him grace, he fails to
cheer the iaded reader with his miles
of blank verse. Mr.. Hammond has
given to the world metricaI account
Of his wedding trip to the Holy Land,
and though
"They were written cOn amore,
Some by sparkling Pharpar's waters"
the verses have none of that magnet
10 effect which attends the personal
appeals of the distinguished divine.
Like the good Moody, Brother
Hammond jerks sin out Of sinner
with neatness and dispatch, but on
Mount Parnassus he is the veriest
pigmy. Let us quote a PASSAGE
When at length the eagcr pilgrims
Stood beside tho massive pyramids,
Oh how different seemed their aspect
From their appearances In the distancol
Cheops claimed their first attention.
Covering at least fifteen acres.
Towering, o how high toward heavenl

Ida, from the Susquehanna,
Full of zeal, said ~ will do IT,"
Edward thus was much delighted .9
With his Wife, so energetic,
Who was ready to so with him
To the top OF giant Cheops.
In form this verse is something like
"Hiawatha, "but only in form. We
think that Brother Hammond might
have greatly improved his description
Of this visit to the pyramids, II, after
prayerful consideration, he had bade
the tuneful nine turn tail, while he
made use Of simpler prose- Il would
then have read: cat near view the
aspect Of the pyramids was different
from their appearance in the distance.
Cheops, which the pilgrims first ex-
amined, covered at least fifteen acres
and is very high. The writer deter
mined to ascend TO the summit, and
was much delighted that his wife and
a lady from Florence determined to
accompany him." But tits too much
TO expect a man, oven a white-ohoker
to refrain from gush upon his we'd
ding-tour. There is a power Of grace
in Brother Hammond, and we have
no doubt Of his ultimate salvation,
but at the last dsy, before final judg-
ment is pronounced, that book will
