ALLIED her for the Preacher.

A Methodist minister travelling i'm
Michigan was entertained by family
whose hospitality was greater than their
means, and who were short of meat. In
order to spread good dinner for the par
son, it was decided to STAY the pet hen
which belonged to the little boy of the
family This was sacrifice, but the
interests of religion and hospitality
seemed to demand it, and so the birds
neck was wrung. After dinner the minis
ter was asked to lead in family devotiOns,
which with true clerical courtesy he con-
scented to do. The Fl, mily being called
together, all knelt down on the floor,
which was of of boards, literally adorned
with knot holes. While the prayer was
going on, a lonely little chicken, one of
the children of the deceased hen, came
running under the house, lamenting the
loss of its mother. The afflicted little lad
put his mouth to the knot hole. and
alphabetically said to the chicken:
"Peepy. peepy, didn't kill your mother.
They killed her for that big old preach
er's dinner. That "big old preachel"
was startled out of all sense Of prayer
fulness, and suddenly brought his devO-
tional exercises to close.

the City COuscil attended TO certain

assert, is an open sewer. They insist
that the course OF the run should bo
changed, that it should be carried by
means of sluioe bridge over the race
