THE rkrTENED CALF.

A good storygis told concerning
an English town-bred curate, who
had consented to dc duty on Sun.
day for his friend, the rector of
county parish s,the midlsnds, The
SUI ject Of the morning sermon was,
the parsble Of the Pfodigai Son,
Snd in the hope of impressing
upon his hearers the JOY which the
patriarch felt on the return of his
son, as instanced by his ordering
the fatted, calf to be killed, the
young curate felt a pardonable
pride in dwelling upon . subject
which could not fail to be compre-
heneible to the dullest plow>boy in
the congregation. /" Remember"
said he, there was on ordinary
calf which was to be killed it wac
no common calf or beast suffering
from murrain? no half-starved calf
slowly awaiting death. No!it was
not even morely a fatted calf; but"
bectming more impressive, sit was
the fatted calf which had been
priced and loved by the family for
many years." A sea Of wide eyes
and Gaping mouths arres ed for q
moment the eloqueuce Of the
aedgling parson. and in the next
there was such q shuckling and
grins, flutterirg old heads below os
had not b Zen witnessed, even in
