Brother Gardner OF the Lime.kiln Club
Is SOrely Puzzled.
From the Detroit Free Pi

From the Detroit Free Press.
Las mite, 'twixt de hours of seven and
eight o'clock, | went ober to de Widder

bald head rose to within eighteen inch

woman sent me ober dar to tell her to

water she could. | sot down by de
grateful stove, an when | seed dat de
widder had bin readin' noospaper, |
softly asked her:
"Missus Johnsin, am you a-wah dat
de Fall campaign hez opcned?'
An she replied dat she was a-wore."
An did you know, 'cordin to de pa
pers, dat among de candyates am 70
murderers?'
'Bress my SOUL but | 'spected it
'spected it for ober month"; she yell
led, as she histed one Of the pickanig-
gers outer de way.
An do you know dat six mo candi-
dates am forgers an purjurers% |
sweetly continered.
'Bress my soul! but I'll took in dem
chickuns soon's you gone away! she ex-
claimed, as she frowed a glance of
scorn at de chill'en playin' horse wild de
spider.
"'An' mong de lesser candydates,
Missus JOhnsin. am numbered gem'len
who steal poses when dey git a cahnce,
an odders who rob orfun 'sylums an
prowl frew grave yards.
"-I knowed it! | knOwed it,-ize bin
h 'arin de strangest kin o noises roun

she whispered, as she bent ober to look
under de bed.
Den dar was a paws. De ole clock
ticked away in de solmnest manner, an
de chill'en knocked, de handle off de
spider as dey took circle 'roun' de big
blue rockin' char. Bime by de widder
kinder aiged aroun' till she showed de
dollar rings on her fingers an de big
yallar bow at her froat, an she said:
'Brudder Gardner, it seems to me
dat de time hez arroye to purge Merl-
can politics of its fraud an corrupshun.
How am you gwine to vote?
Gem'leen, spit on de hot stove, an
spit ober it, an | seen de widders big
eyes wild DER canvass backgroun' look
in right at de end Of my nose, and |
couldn't Git dis old mouf open to save
me! | walked out Of dat wild her quesh-
un unanswered an de chill'n tyin, de

ober it all mite long, and Ize finkin ober
it yet. Sir Iasaac Walpole, you am an
/ ole man. You hez bin run ober by 4
butcher-ca cart, bit by rattlesnake, an
lost in de woods, an you am competent
to speak on dis subject. Disprees your
views, Brudder Walpole."
The ole man rose up in a humble,
hesitating way, and mildly said:
Gem len, | shall nebber cast my
vote for criminal, an | move dat de
club insert de follerin' advertisement in
de papers:
"WANTED-A political candidate
who has not been charged with murder,
arson, robbery, burglary, forgery, en-
bczzlemcnt, fraud, drunkenness ct al,
is invited to send his address, affidavit
and references of character, to the De-
troit Lime-kiln Club"
Brother Gardner's face lighted up
like the bottom board Of fence op-
posite bonfire, and the club adopted
the idea and ordered the secretary to
have the ad inserted in red ink if
possible.

EXERCISES IN PRoNUNCIATIoN.-A
Indian was attracted by the aroma of
the coffee and the broth, arising from an
isolated bivouac, and moving down the
path he met bombastic bravo who was
troubled with bronchitis, for which he
was being treated by the allopathy sys-
TEN. The Indian being in dishabille,
was received in disdain by this black
guard, who called him a dog, and bade
him with much vehemence and contume-
ly to leave his domain, or he would dem
onstrate by his carbine the use of
coffin ana cemetary. The Indian calm
ly surveying the dimensions of his Eu-
ropean opponent, and being sagacious
and robust, and having all the combat
iveness of combatant, shot this rufian
in the abdomen with an arrow.

THE NEW CHURCH DOCTRINE.
by WILL CARLETON.

There's come a sing'lar doctrine, Sue.
Into our church to-day;
These Gurus words are what the new
Young preacher had to say:
That literal everlastin' fire
Was mostly in our eye;
That sinners dead, If they desire,
Can get another try;
He doubted if a warmer cline
Than this world could be proved;
The little snip-I fear some time
He'll get his doubts removed.
I've watched my duty, straight an true,
An tried to do it well;
Part of the time kept heaven In view,
An part steered clear O. hell;
An now half of this work is naught,
If must list to him,
An this ere devil have fought
Was only just whim;
Vain are the dangers have braved,
The sacrifice they cost;
For what fun is it to be saved,
If no one else Is lost?
Just tthink!-Suppose, when once view
The heaven I've toiled to win.
A lot of unsaved sinners. too,
Comes walkin' grandly in!
An acts to home, same as If they
Had read their titles clear,
An looks at me, as if to say,
"We're glad to see yOu here"'
As if to say, While uhave ben
so IaSC 10 Toe InC marx,
We waited till it rained. an then
Got tickets for the ark!'
Yet there would be some in that crowd
I'd rather like to see:
My boy Jack-it must be allowed,
There was no worse than he!
I've always felt somewhat to blame,
In several different ways,
That he lay down on thorns o. shame
TO end his bOyhOOd's days;
An I'd be willin' to endure,
If that the Lord thought best,
A minutes quite hot temperature,
TO clasp him to my breast.
Old Captain Barnes was evils SON
With hetcrOdOxy crammed;
used to think he'd be the one,
If any one was damned
Still. when saw a lot o. poor,
That he had clothed and fed,
Cry desOlaiely round his door
AS soon as he was dead,
There came thought l couldn't control,
That In some neutral land,
I'd like to meet that scorched up soul,
An shake it by the hand.
Poor Jennie Willis, with cry
Of hopeless, sad distress,
Sank sudden down, one night, to die.
All in her ballroom dress;
She had precious little while
To pack up an away;
She even left her sweet good smile
Twas on the face next day;
Her soul went Off unclothed by even
One stitch of saving grace;
How could she hope to go to heaven,
An start from such q place!
But once, when lay sick an weak.
She came an begged to stay;
She kissed my faded, wrinkled cheek
She sOothed my pain away;
She brought me sweet bOquetS of flowers
AS fresh as her young heart
Through many long an tedious hours
She played a Christian part;
An ere l long will stan aroun
The singin' saints among,
Eli try to take some water down.
To cool poor Jennie's tongue.
But tears can never quench my creed,
Nor smooth Gods righteous frown,
Though all the preachers learn to read
Their Bibles upside down.
1 hold mine right side up with care,
To shield my eyes from sin,
An coax the Lord, with daily prayer,
To call poor wanderers in;
But If the sinners won't draw nigh
An take salvation's plan,
I'll have to stand an see 'em try
To dodge hell if they can.
