Prescott (.Arisoaol E~nferprise.
A fair sized congregation assembled
last evening at the Methodist Church.
The sermon, or lecture, delivered by the
pastor, Rev. DR.. Wight, vas one OF the
most elaborate, learned and profund Of
his deliveries In this village. In one OF the
most interesting OF its parts o slight In
terruption took place; slight In itself,
but causing much annoyance to the
minister and laughter to the congrsRa-
ton in Its consequences.
II was at the close OF the first section
Of q beautiful argument that q dog-a
yellow dog-wedged itself from under q
seat and. wagsing his tail. and nodding
his bead, In significance OF bis happy
mood, rubbed his nose against the
sleeves OF the individuals who occupied
the ends OF seats. Efforts 10 make him
lilo down were unavaiiing.
Children began 10 laugh, and grown
people to litter. The dog seeing those
around him laughing. while looking di.
rectly at him, took II for an invitation TO
frolic. The more those around him
laughed and Uttered. the harder he
vagged his tail and the sprightlier be-
came bis movements; and the higher the
dog pranced the merrisr became the con-
gregation. At this precarious period Of

learned sermon. o tall gentlsman-as tall

and, with o forced smile IN his face,
intended TO deceive the innocent animal,
he beckoned to the dog by swapping
tho second finger OF his right hand
against the palm Of his thumb. and by
shaping with the same hand the upper
portion Of his right lsg-to follow him.
While going through this procedure the
tall gentleman faced the minister and
backed down tho aisle, all the while
looking orthodoxy sweet ct the dog.
The pastor stopped the sermon to watch
the maneuveripgs OF the decoysr and the
decoyed. For the intention OF the tall
gentleman was to coax the dog only as
far as tho door, aud then kick him out.
The dog followed o short distance down
the aisle, and then returned to his sport.

Nichodemus Otis corn, asks Sam Slick
The Gincral was takn' ride with a west
ern man one day over his farm to Bangor in
Maine, to see his crops, fixin' mill privileges
and what not, and the western man was turn
in up his nose at everything Almost, proper
scorney, and braggin' how things growed on
his farm out west. At last the gineral's chem
ezer begun to rise, and he got as mad as a
halter, and concluded to take the rise out of
him."
49," says he, stranger" says he, "you
talk about your Indgian corn, as If nobody
else raised any but yourself Now I'll bet
you thousand dollars, have corn that's
growed so wonderful, you can't reach the top
of it standin on your horse.
Done" said Hoosier, and "Done," said
the general, and done it was.
Now" said the general, /" stand up on
your saddle like circus rider, for the field
is round that corner of the woed there" And
the entire stranger stood up as stiff as polk
err +" Tail corn, guess said he, = If | can't
reach it, anyhow, for I can ena'most reach
the top o. them trees. ! think / feel them
thousand dollars of yourn marchin' quick
step into my pocket, four deep. Reach your

seed corn so tall that man couldn't reach 1t
a horseback ?"
"Try it," said the General, as be led him
into the field. where the corn was only foot
high, the land was so monstrous mean, and sc
monstrous rough, and SO beggarly poor.
Reach it," said the General.

Low WIT IN RELIGION.

"Tis pitiful
To court grin. when you should WOO soul
The intrusion of low wit into the teaching
of religion is unspeakabIy disgusting to a
reverent mind. Namby-pamby songs may
even be offensive. Whatever tends to abase
the majesty of religion, and invest the word
of God and the truth of the Gospel with mean
and vulgar associations, is not only revolving
in itself, but is extremely banefnl in it's infu-
ence. How plain and simple are the teach
ings of Christ. A child can understand Him.
Yet the New Testament is in the highest style
of thought. There is nothing low, nothing
grotesque. What divine seriousness and
beauty belong to the precepts of the sermon
on the mount, and to the parallels of ouI
Lord.
