lows "That the clerk OF fthc market shall

The Good Pastor and the Wicked
Wasps.

DR.. Thorn was a pastor by himself.
He was thin as lath. lank as June
shad, and solemn as tombstone
He had no gestures and seldom lifted
his eye from his book. If screwed to
the floor he could not have been more
immovabls. He worked daily like a
ditcher, and got his living mainly
from his farm. When he took his
charge, bis senior deacon struck the
KEYNOTE when he said "The Lord
keep you humble, and we will keep
you poor The minister kept his
farm, and his farm kept him. lie
went from the bayfield, to a funeral,
and was back again before the hearse
started. He called his clerical gar
ments "regimentals," and kept them
hung in the garnet. His "breeches"
were wash-leather, dyed black, lasting
through a generation. Into these en-
during and never-yielding habiliments
the dominic was shook at the begin
ming, and they never stretched so
much room aud no more. One Sun
day morning Mr.. Thorn wentinto the
garnet to array himself. The bell
tolled from the cd tower, and the par
son had no time 10 spare. Mercy !!
what sight A colony of wasps in
the good mans breeches /! The farm
er preacher had had contest now and
then with this insect. He knew how
savage and how venomous a colony of
wasps was. The bell was slowly,
nearing the end, and something must
be done. A long stick and an adroit
manipulation elected the intruders-
except two Migrants who were on q
foraging expedition in the seams
The pastor entered the church on the
last stroke of the bell, and the sermon
was reached without disaster. Then
trouble began, as the wasps intimated
that they were crowded. The stsid
and stiff dominic became agile. He
clssped his hands on his eide, leaped
from the floor, skipped from side to
side, and gave other signs Of bis an.

THE oHURoH SPLIT,

The sisters andthe brethren
Had cons from far around,
Aud he who was to lead them
Was early on the ground
And great delight aud unelion
Took hold OF every soul,
And prayers and anthems mingled
As mighty waters roll,
The sermon was most tender,
And urged them all 10 know
And walk the peaceful pathway
That God had marked below,
The service was half finished
When two small dogs caught sight
Each one OF the other
And started In to nght,
A couple OF the deaeons
Had brought the CANNES IN,
And naturally each wanted
TO see his own dog win,
In vain the pastor shouted,
In vain the sisters squalledi
The dogs went for each Others
The deacons Kissed aud bawled,
The church was in confusion,
The lighters snarled and toreI
The deaeons rolled and tumbled
Around the sacred floor,
And as q dog went under -.
Ills master helped him up,
And when occasion offered
Each kicked the others pup.
The benches all were splintcred,
The stove was overturned,
And the deaeons and their puppies
Were oil four badly burned
And when they saw the damage
That such contest lends,
And holsted up such sisters
AZ had somehow shifted ends,
There was q solemn silence,
TIL Deacon Ames arose,
And said his brother deacon
Had smote him on the nose,
Whereat the brother deacon
Said that was oil lie,
And showed where Ames had punched
him
In his religious eye.
Aud iNrt her lie commended,
His dog was In the right.
A fact that he had proven
by having won the fight.
But this fact Ames disputed,
And claimed his dog had won,
And he could lick the other dog
For money or for fun.
or course the congregation,
To see the matter through,
Took sides and then concluded
TO cut the church In two
And now these rival churches
Denouncc each other we'll
And each condemns the other
TO where the wicked dwell.
All because two deacOns
Got up q row and kicked
Each because the other
Had claimed that his dog licked.
What wonder the ungodly
Prefer an outside perch,
When piety depends on
A dog fight in church.
