BUDGET OF FUN.

4 A Danbury man named Reubens saw state

to speak an angry word would save great

use, but he remembered his resolution, put

"One, two three, four, five, SIX, Seven,

Then the mad neighbor who had been eye

broke in again
"Why don't you answer my question: you

But still Reubens maintained his equanim

'"Nne ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen

The mad neighbor stared harder than ever

Here the neighbor broke for the house, and
entering it violently slammed the door behind

the enumeration, and so he stood out there
alone in his own yard, and kept on counting
while his burning checks and flashing eyes
eloquently affirmed his judgment When he
got up into the eighties his wife came to the
door in some alarm.
"Why, Reubens, man. what is the matter
with you?" she said. "Do come into the

But he didn't let up She came out to him

other day to the military college of St Cyr

kind hearted governor of the establishment to
say something reassurng to the poor lad, the

In the Nashville american, that the aboii-

!" This heresy consists IN holding, with the
great body OF scientific men, that a method
of evolution has obtained in the history OF
the world, but not in holding that man Is
the product OF evolution. The overt act on
which the accusation Is based Is the publ
cation OF my recent pamphlet, entitled
sAdamites and Pre-Adamites,' though, as
a fact, a belief in the doctrine Of evolution
is not there avoWed nor taught, and the
only position to which sstrict Orthodoxy
could object Is the opinion that perhaps the
