MOVING HTAE CROCK or A@tss.,

The good people of the town OF
E. were talking Of moving
their meeting house to "A nope
agreeable locality. Among tho
advocates Of the moveane emit none
were more earncstthRn old DvaoOn
A., who, by the way, had 40
uncomfortable habit of sleeping IN
church. No matter how interest
ing the discourse, the old deacon
was sure to "drop off, at about
such q time, On the Sabbath pre-
ceding the day appointed for NOV
ing the house, the pastor preached
an interesting sermon on Crock OF
Ages" Growing eloquent in his
remarks the good minister finally
asked with great emphasis:
"Who can move it?'
The deacon having been asleep
as usual, woke up just in time to
catch the query, and thinking that
the pastor referred to the meeting
house, arose up in his seat, and ex-
claimed:
"Tll bring over my yoke of
steers. They'll jerk it along the
whole distance if you'll keep
plenty Of hard rollers under it"
The deacon never slept inJmeet|
ing after that.
