down to church, too, aud sat on a

against mas cheese. Pa held one

the other, aud pa he always sings
for all that is out, and wheu he

ter prayed, and they got up to sing
again, the man took his hat and |
went out, and when he came by me |

ushers they came around in the
pews looking for a dog. aud when |
the minister got over his sermon
and wiped the perspiatiou OF bis
face, be said he would like to have
the trustees of the church stay
after nesting as there would be
business OF importance TO transact.
