Inspector Malone called at the hotel

he would be happy to see the inspector

him pleasantly and asked, "Do you in

secretary only returned from London by

The Minister'S Cow.

An exchange tells this droll story of
clergyman's experiment and how it
ended:
Some years ago there lived in Central
New York very worthy and respecta-
ble divine known as Father Goss. He
had hired man named Isaac, who al
ways obeyed orders without question.
Father Goss bought COW one day
which proved refractory when MIXED,
refusing to surrender the lacteal fluid,
although Isaac used all the persuasive
arts of which he was master. He finally
reported her delinquencies to his master.
Well, Isaac" said he, "go to the
barn and get those pieces of new rope"
Isaac obeyed; the COW was driven
into the stable' tied with a piece of the
rope, when the Rev. came out, armed
with knife.
"Now," he exclaimed to Isaac, 81
will get on the cows back and you tie
my feet beneath her, then you go on
with your milking, and with my weight
on her back she must give down her
milk"
Isaac obeyed. The feet were tied, the
pail got and milking commenced.
But bossy objected, and plunged wild
ly about. The stable was low, and the
Rev's head was fearfully thumped.-
"Oh, Isaac, Isaac 7" bawled he " cut the
rope"
Isaac seized the knife and cut-not the
rope which tied the masters feet but
the one that tied the CIV. The stable
gate was open, also the yard-gate.
Away darted the frantic COW, the ter
rified man on her back, helplessly roar
ing: Stop her, stop her ~
While madly eareering down the road
he met parishioner, who excitedIy
called: Why, Mr.. Goss, where are
you goingYn
"Only God and this COW know p
groaned he; II DON'T"
The animal was finally caught and
the man released much frightened but
unhurt.

done more than any other journal to
elevate the literature OF sport In
America. It has ever championed
morality and right and has always
set its face against debasing sports.
It IL conducted by gentlemen who
are recognized as authorities in their
specialities, and consequently its
circulation is large and its influence
great. 1t is eminently practical, its
views on Breeding, the Turf, the
Kennel, Shooting, Athletics, the
Stage, &C., being formed from actual
contact with the leading opponents
Of these pursuits and pastimes in all
parts Of the country and the world.
No journal Is more extensively quo

It derives its chief support from the

The First Prayer In Congress.

In Thatchef's Military Journal,
under date OF December, TIT, is
found note containing the identical
first prayer in congress" made by
the Rev. Jacob Duche, gentleman
Of great eloquence. Here It is-a

Q Lord. our Heavenly Father, high
and mighty King Of kings, and Lord
OF lords. who dost from thy throne
behold all the jewellers OF the earth,
and reignest with power supreme and
uncontrolled over all the kingdoms,
empires, and governments, look
down in mercy, we beseech Thee, on
the American States, who have fed
to Thee from the rod OF the opprcss-
or, and thrown themselves on Thy
gracious protection, desiring to be
henceforth dependent only on Thee.
To Thee they have appealed for the
righteousness OF their cause; to Thee
do they now look up for that coun-
tenance and support which Thou
alone canst give. Take them, there
fore, Heavenly Father, unto Thy
nurtur:ng care. Give them wisdom
in council and valor In the filed. De-
feat the malicious OF our adverse
ries; convince them OF the upright
consness OF their course and il they
still persist in sanguinary purposes,
oh! let the voice OF Thine own uner-
ring justice, soundingin their hearts,
constrAin them to drop the weapons
Of war from their unnerved hands in
the day OF battle. Be thou present
10 God OF wisdom, and direct the
councils Of this honorable assembly.
Enable them to settle things on the
best and surest foundations, that the
scenes OF blood may be speedily
closed, and order. harmony and peace
may be cffectually restored, and truth
and justice. religion and p!ety, pre-
vail and flourish among Thy people.
Preserve the health OF their bodies
and the vigor OF their minds: shower
down upon them and the millions
they here represent such temporal
blessings as Thou seest expedient
for them In this world, and crown
them with everlasting glory in the
world to come. All this we ask in
the name and through the merits OF
Jesus Christ Thy Son, our Savior,
Amen.
