A PURITAN PAsToR.-Some one in the
Christifn Union is giving some very
amusing "reminiscences of the Puritan
ministry of New England Among his
stories is one of old parson c., of Bed
ford, in Revolutionary times. He was
very quaint and homely, not to say ir-
reverent, in his prayers. His people re-
quested him on one occasion to pray for
rain, which he did thus: 20 Lord, thou
knowest it is very dry in these parts o
Lord, the grass is all dried up till it
looks like red foxes tails, and the grass
hoppers sit on the fence rails, crying
crying, crying, and the cattle go Loo, loo,
loo (suiting his sound to the sense, and
we pray thee, o Lord, to uncork the bot.
ties of heaven and send US rain" The
good parsons prayer was answered di-
rectly by tremendous rain which flood
ed the country washed away mill-dams,
and tore up things generally. The par
son returned thanks in this style: 20
Lord, we prayed thee for rain, and that
thou wouldst uncork the bottles of heav-
en-; but, o, Lord, we didn't pray thee to
leave the corks out"
His parish took great umbrage at his
style of praying, and held a meeting to
sever mis- relation with them. Parson c.
was present, apologized and confessed
with great humility, and assured them
that the prayer business would give them
no more trouble. As they had nothing
else against him, they forgave him, and
requested him to close the meeting by
prayer, which he did: "0Lord, we pray
thee that we all. pastor and people, may

considerable distances, and is said to
cause blindness if it touches the eyes
One of the snakes was captured by the

by a miner who WIS standing over the
