IKE AND THE MULE.

Old Isaac Saunders has just been arraign-
ed before the Court on charge of embezzle.
ing mule from the church. Ike had been
assigned to circuit work by the conference,
but had failed to adhere to his letter of ac-
ceptance. In fact,he refused to preach after
making way with the mule, and the three
churches that alternately were to receive
food from him combined and had lin ar
rested. After the examination Of several
witnesses a colored lawyer for the defence
arose and said:
'De parson has de law all on his side, be-
case he 'ploys lawyer and de church don't.
Dat am powerful factor in his resemblance.
An now l AK de Jedge of dis Court ter let de
prisoner tgo. don't make long speeches,
but I comes down to de pint. Dis man amt

dited me for stealin' a hog. Dis am con-
vinein', and de Court can't step aroun' it."
The Justice also colored man, pondered
a long time, and at length said:
"De attorney hab stated one fack. De
fence hab got all de law, for de uder side
hain't 'ployed no lawyer. An I'll state
right heah dat some powerful argument
will be needed to 'vict dis preacher, unless
he can't show why he 'bezzled de mule"
One of the church members arose and told
how Ike had disappointed the church people
by not coming, and how. after coming, he
had startled them by failing to account for
the church property.
Ike, being called on for statement, arose
and said:
