What? Why, John went TO see his
Mary Ann last Saturday night, and
you see the old man got a new dog
which is a rather cross, snarly cuss,
and as John approached the house the
snarly little cuss went for his walking
sticks and John, you know, hadn't his
double.barrlcd shotgun and revolver
along so as how he was putty much
frightened an he hollered Mary Ann
MARY ANN MARY ANNIE Take
this cussed animal inter the cellar aud
shut him up in meat barrel or he
will chaw my affections for you inter
pieces; and he yelled til he tore his
mouth back that you can sec the lid OF
his dinner basket whenever he opens
his mouth. Mary Ann put the purp
int solitary confinement on regulation
rations until after the wedding day.

MISCELLANEOUS.


An English town missionary, n short time
ago, related remarkable incident. There
was clearinghouse in his district which he
had long desired to enter but was deferred
from so doing by his friend who feared that
his life would he thereby endangered lIe boz
came ut length so uneasy that he determined
to risk all consequences and try TO gain admis.
sion. SO one day he gave a somewhat timd
knock at the door, in response to which n
coarse voice roarcd out who's there" and at
tho same moment u Notwithstanding woman
opened the door and ordered the man Of God
away.
Let him come in, and sec who he Is, and
what he wants" gfowled out the Same voice.
The missionary walked in, and bowling politely
to the rough.lOOking man whom he had just
heard speak, said:
81 have been visiting most of the houses in
this ncighborhood to read with and talk to
the people about good things. | have passed
your door us long us feel | ought, for wish
also TO talk with you and your lodgers"
Are you what is called town-mssion-
ary2"
81 nm, sir" was the reply.
We'll, them said the hcrco.looking man,
sit down and hear what am going to say.
! will ask you question out Of the Bible. III
you answer mo right, you may call 1t this
house and read and pray with us or our dodgers
as often as you like; If you do not answer mo
right, we will tear your clothes oil your back
and tumble you neck and heels into the street.
Now what do you say TO that-for am II man
of my word ?"
The missionary was perplexod, but at length
quietly said
81 will take you"
"Well, them" said the man, "here goes.
Is the word girl is any part Of the Bible2 If
so, where is 1t to DO found and how often
That is my question"
well, sir, the word girl is in the Bible, but
only once and may be found in the words of
the Prophet Joel, iii. 3. The words are:
And sold girl for wine, that they might
drink"
"Well,' replied the man "Tm dead beat.
burst to have bet five pounds you could not
have told" And | could not have told, yes
terday," said tho visitor. For several days L
have been praying that the Lord would open
me Il way into this house, and this very morn
ing, when reading the Scriptures in my family.
| was surprised to find the word girl, aud got
the Concordance to see if it occurred again,
and found it did not. And now sir, believe
that God did know and does know what will
come to pass, and surely His hand is in this
for my protection and your good"
The whole of the inmates were greatly sur
prised, and the incident has been tho means Of
the conversion Of the man, his wife aud two
of the lodgers.- Wesleyan.
