 Jassamine and were married with great ceremony. All of the neighbors were invited. Whole calves were bar becued and, t seemed, whole distilleries were turned loose.

A DISASTROUS DINNER.

N was the lntentiOn 10 nave an oio fashioned dinner. MT. Midland and his wife, good folks, pre,t well advanced in years. had been for weeks thinking oi the dinner which they were to give their neighbors. Pauline Midland. beautiful girl, was nearing the age of eighteen, and it was in recognition of her birthday that the feast was to be spread.
 Everything must be as nice as pie, mother" said the old man. sI do hate to see dinner that don't go of all right.
 "Don't you fear," replied the wife. know what a dinner is. Let's see, we want the Mays and the Pollards, and the Haphreys-"
 "And we want old Anderson Drum Icy" interrupted the old man.
 .Who, that big footed old fellow P asked Pauline.
 @You should not speak so," said the mother, chidingly. Brother DruIaIey is a good old man, and stands high in the church. Be ashamed of yourself, my daughter"
 "Oh, he's so awkward, maw."
 "Shet your mouth. If he don't come, nobody shall come, now you got it."
 Old man Midland ginned. He had full confidence in his wife's authority, and as he expressed ii, when she spoke, it was the word with the bark on"
 The day arrived. The neighbors brought their children. They came long before the dinner hour and while en- gagged in delightful gossip, rattled their knitting needles. The savory odor nf baked turkey, roasted pig and fried chicken pervaded the house. Old man Drumley was promptly on hand. A powerful man with a powerful appetite. No oae had ever heard him complain of eating too much; no one ever heard him say that he had enough. He always ate just as long as the company would val, for him. If a digestion like his could be rented, it would be in constant demand.
 When all the chairs were brought into the dining-room where the iong extended table was spread, it was found that still enc was lacking. This necessitated the use of the kitchen chair. It Is an un- lucky fatality that enforces such an ex- igency. There is nothing more treaches. ous than the kitchen chair of an old fashioaed family. Its hind Legs are worn down until the person who sits on it must exercise the nicess precision to keep from tilting over backward. lxael Put man oace said that he would rather d. tempt b ride goat than htchea chair. This chair was thoughtlessly placed at the p,ass designed for old Brother Drum ley. The old fellow took his seat in nafesy and conpizcently eyed a boiled ham.

THE preacher in politics is danger ous factor, not to tho enemy against which he arrays himself, but to the side whose cause he espouses. It is difficult for a preacher to understand the differ ence between . revival harangue and a political argument. When he arises to make a speech in favor of . party, he views the crowd from the standpoint of his own church. In his conception of the great questions of the day, those who oppose his religious faith oppose his political convictions. Assertions from the pulpit meet with DO damaging con- trove1y. If some one should take ex- captions, the cause is immediately set down to difference of creed but when a preacher enters political campaign. he seems to forget that every word is watched by the opposition. His habit of wild and sweeping assertions, which he exercised with such force in the pulpit, is against him as a political speaker. Church and state; religion and politics cannot sit down peaoeahly together in America. The politician who would se- cure the aid cf preacher, should seek to gst him committed to the opposition.
