ET About the time that Qneen Victo-
ria assembled the throne, there resided in
the town OF Stafford. an eccentric old
minister Of the church Of England, OF
whom many amusing anecdotes are re-
lated.
He had been married three times, but
has been unfortunate in each Of his mat
rimonial ventures. His first wife was an
extremely gay. fashionable, worldly wo-
mau--the second was very feshy and too
fond of good living--and the third was q
perfect virago. The old gentleman once
thus expressed his opinion Of his three
better halves: 81 am afraid" said he,
f" that my chance Of salvation is very
slim lor although solemly promised
and vowed in baptism, that l would re-
nounc "the world, the 6esh and the devil
yet / hav eembraccd them all In the per.
son Of my three wives"
On one occasion the old gentleman
was sitting by the fire with his wife No.
81 and the cat aud dog were sleeping
comfortably together on the hearth rug
to which the lady called her husbands
attention, saying, my dear! Why can
not you and get along together ne quiet
ly aud peaceably as they do ?" HumphT

If any sheep is hurt catch 1t at once
and wash the wound with a healing lotion
