Our Minister'S Sermon.
The minister said last night. saw he.

rne minlster said last night, says he,
DON'T he afraid Of giyin';
your life aint worth nothin' to other folks,
why, what's the use Of livin'?"
Ana thats what ] say 10 my wife, saysI,
lhere's Brown the miserable sinner,
he'd sooner a beggar would starve than give
A cent towards buyin' a dinner.
teii you our minister 10 prime, he is,
But couldn't quite determine.
when ! heard him a givin' 1t right and left,
just who was hit by his sermon.
vi course there couldn't DO no mistake.
When he talked Of long. winded %prayin',
FOR refers and johnson they sot and scowled
Atevery word he was sayin'.
And the minister he went on to say,
''Ihere's various kinds Of cheatin',
Ana religions as good for every day,
AS II Is to bring to meetin'.
! nont mink much of the mar that gives
Inc ioudest amens Mt my preachin',
Anu spends his time the followin' week
In cheatin' and overreachin'.r
] guess that dose was bitter enough
For a man like Jones to swallow;
But ! noticed he didn't open his mouth,
Not once. after that, TO boiler;
Hurrah, says I, for the minister
or course ] said 1t quiet
Give us.some more Of this open talk,
It's very refreshin' diet.
The minister.hit EN- every time,
Ana when he spoke Of fashion,
Ana higgins out in bows and things,
As woman's rulin' passion,
And comm to church to see the styles,
couldn't help a.winkin'
ANA a'nudgin' my wife, and says I ''That'
you,"
ANA ] guess 1t sot her thinkin'.
says TO myself, that sermons pat,
But man Is a queer creation,
Aud IN much afraid that most OF the folks
Won't take the application.
Now, II he had said a worl about
My personal mode Of %sinnin',
I'd have gone to work to right myself,
And n t set there a. GRIMM.
Just then the minister says, says he,
"And now I've come to the fcllers
who'vc lost this shower by usin' their friends
As a sort o. moral umbrellas.
Go home.' - says he, land find your faults,
Instead of huntin' your brothers;
Go home. - says he. ''and wear the coats
You tried to ut for others"
My wife she nudged, and Brown he winked,
And there was lots o. s%nilin',
And lots o. lookin' at our pew;
1t sot my blood a bilin'.
Says I TO myself, our minister
Is gettin' n little bitter.
I'll tell him when the mcetin's out, that |
Amt at all that kind Of a %crittcr.

A week or two ago n farmer, living
within four or five miles of Pontiac,
called at the City-hall and asked the
Chief of Police if he wanted to hire a
mighty good man at a dollar per day."
The Chief didn't, but the farmer con
tiuued:
"I've got a boy of IS who wants to
learn to be a policeman. He's stout's
an OK, willing, good-natured, and he
knows over thirty niger songs. He'll
work cheap"
The Chief said the quota was full Just
then, and he didn't encourage his WIS.,
itor to believe that his son would ever
make great policeman.
"He's sot on it," protested the father;
"and as times are hard l think he'd
come for so cents a day and board. l
suppose you board all the men, don't
youP"
He went away disappointed but not
entirely discouraged, and yesterday the
mother and son drove in to make an
other effort. The son sat in the wagon,
his oak-colored hair dripping in the
slow rain, and the mother briskly en-
tered the City-hall, found the Chief,
and briskly inquired:
"Do you want to hire q mane"
He said he did not.
"There's my son out there" she
continued, pointing out of the window,
"and he thinks he was born for a po-
liceman. He's been practicing for the
last year, and If his mother does say it,
! think he'd make the best officer of the
