Bramley's NarroW Escape.

The people of little town IN War
wick county have been hanging right
over the brink of q church scandal,
but are not aware of the fact. just
before the close Of the services last
Sunday a good brother walked for-
ward to the pulpit, handed the minis
ter an announcement, as he thought,
and asked him 10 read it to the con-
gregation before he dismissed them.
Just before time was called on. the
Doxology the minister said Broth
er Bramley has handed in the follow
ing" and in a clear voice lie read the
note, which was as follows
My OWN PET BRAM-Are you never
coming to see me again ? | am dying to
see my darling once more and gaze into
his beloved eyes. The old mummy that
calls herself your wife will never find it
out. How can you endure her? Come,
darling, to one who truly loves you.
Your own and only MARY.
The good brother had handed in
the wrong announcement. At the
close of the reading the minister
looked horror-struck, the congrega-
ton stared at Bramley with cold,
hard stares, and his wife rose up in
her seat and glsred at him like IT,
gress. He was equal to the occasion,
however, and rising calmly and with
a look Of resignation on his face he
said:
Brothers and sisters, it may appear
strange to you that l should ask our
beloved pastor to read such terrible
thing as that from the pulpit, but the
best way to fight the devil is to fight
him boldly face to face, The writer
of that vile note is unknown to rae,
! but is evidently some depraved child
of sin who is endeavoringto to besmirch
my Christian reputation. I shall use
every endeavor 10 ferret out the writ
er, and, if discovered, will fearlessly
proclaim her name and hold her up to
the contempt of all good Christian
people,"
He sat down amid murmurs of ap.
probation and sympathy.

Suspicious Symptoms.

A minister who was, perhaps, not
too careful in his habits was induced
by his friends to take the teetotal
pledge. His health appeared to suf-
fer and his doctor ordered him to take
one glass of punch daily.
ooh" said he, IT dare not. Peggy,
my old housekeeper, would tell the
whole parish"
"When do you shave" the doctor
asked.
"In the morning"
"Then," said the doctor, "shavo at
night, and when Peggy brings you
up your hot water you can take your
glass of punch just before going to
bed"
The minister afterward appeared
to improve in health and spirits. The
doctor met Peggy soon after and
said:
II am glad TO bear, Peggy, that
your master IS better"
Indeed, cir, he's better, !ut his
bralns affected there's something
wrang wi his mind !"

A Meeting.

Quite carelessly turned the newsy sheet;
A song full wrote many year ago
Smiled up at me, as in crowded street
One runs across o friend he used to know.
So full it was-that simple little song
OF all the hope, the transport, and the
truth
Which to the impetuous morn of life be-
long,
That once again seemed to grasp my
youth.
So full it was of that sweet fancied pain
We WOO and cherish ere We meet with
woe,
felt as one who hears plaintive strain
His mother sang him in the long ago.
Up rom their graves, the years that lay
between
That songs birthday and my stern pres
ent, came
Like phantom forms, and swept across the
scene,
Bearing my broken dreams of love and
fame.
Fair hopes and br light ambitions that
knew
In that old time, with their ideal grace,
Shone for one moment, then were lost to
view
Behind the dull clouds of the common,
place.
With trembling hands I put the sheet
away.
All, little song! the sad and hopeless
truth
Struck like an arrow when we met that
day
My life has missed the promise of its
youth.
