Then they sought out place where they
could display their reckless disregard for

quiet or they would ''clean his place out. :"
And so you SHALL" replied the in

poked them i'll the ribs, hit them on the

beaten them black and blue he repeated
his demand that they should scrub the

The PARSONS Mistake.
. "1 = ~ > nv
Ne1o YOrk SnR0aN Nerclrn.


ParsOn Pyne, who used to be settled on
fashionable congregation in the City of
Washington, had a chrOnically indisposed
lady of great intelligence and sweetness
of character in his flock. He used to
dread to visit her, so long was the cata-
lOgue of ills that she was wont to unfold
before him. OF course, he was expected
to sympathize, and he did his best. But
it was WEAKNESS to his impatient spirit
and at times he found himself advising
numerous doses to the lady when she had
detailed her symptoms and asked his adj
vice. 1t happened at last that the parsOn
fell sick and had long siege of typhoid
fever. When he had slowly recovered he
was in haste to resume his pastoral work.
and determ In I'd to visit the SICK first. He
made inquiry Ofa lady parishioner as to the
invalids, and was told that Mrs. Squire
the lady spoken of aboYe-had been sick.
Was it her chronic use of patent medi-
cines? No" the lady replied, slightly
stammering and blushing. She believed
that Mrs. Squire had a run of low fever
and other complications. This was
enough. If she had really been sick she
must have the consultations of religion as
soon as possible.
Arrived at the lady's house. Parson
Pyne sent in his card, and Mrs. Squire
came down stairs the picture of health
The dominic congratulated her on her i'm
proved appearance. She had never SEEM
ed so we'll and happy in her life. But |
hear you have been sick" he added, land
| called to bring you the sympathy which
you do not appear to need" "You have
been sick, Doctor, understand, and seri-
Ously.' Yes said the dominic, with a
sigh; 'that is the reason | can sympathize
with you so readily. l know all that
you must have suffered. l have just
had the trouble and passed through all
the symptoms and suferings myself"
The lady looked at him earnestly for a
moment, and as if she were disposed to be
angry. Then she seemed to think better
of it; her face frightened and she rose,
went to the parlor door and cried: "Kate,
come here-just as you are" The parson
sat quiet and amazed as the footsteps
came nearer. Then the door opened
and Kate, the nurse, entered,
bearing in her arms a chubby, growing,
siX-weeks-Old infant. A light began to
break upon the dOmine's soul and a cold
sweat stood out upon his forehead.
''There, parson, that is what allied me-"
cried the laughing lady; where are your
symptOmsY'
The good parson blushed and fled; but
the story followed him, and every male
member of his flock called to ask him
what had allied him and where were his
symptoms" From that day to this he
has never ventured to ask any lady about
her ailments, and he has fOreswOrn the
company of babies.
