The Deacon attacks an Old Saylsg.

voiced lady was talking with the little
schoolmistress and himself about q GER

lady exclaimed >- ~ - H..
Pooh good influence isn't what
she needs. A bird that can sing and
won't sing must be made to sing that's

With these words the lady glared at
the schoolmiAtsess. who made no reply.
aud then with an air o: conscious VIC
tory, she turned to the Deacon, repeat
ing: ...- ., a-. 49,, ~.
"Yes, sir that's my doctrine"
A capital doctrine" said the Dea-
con, with bow, but there's flaw in
your illustration, ma'am."
But " almost screamed the lady,

. there's no other way. p A bird that can
sing and won't sing must be made to
sing. You'll admit that, I hope? 1t

" Granted" said the Deacon, with a
voice as soft as the wish Of water
Ii "most certainly, bird that can
sing and won't slug must be made to
sing; but how are We going to do it?
The fact is. my dear madam" con-
linued tho Deacon, "some of these old
sayings sound very we'll, but there 8
nothing in them. Id like to see the
person who can take q bird that won't
sing and make him sing. Now your
bird that cau't sing and wi sing, is
