A woman clad in deep mourning
went through the menagerie yester-
day, stopping to admire each of the
animals in turn, and every now and
then applying her handkerchief as
siduously to her eyes, says the Bur
lington Free Press. When she came
to the camel, it was evident that she
had come to stay. She sat down on
one of the posts that held the rope
and began to catechise the attend
ant.
"This is the camel, amt it?"
"Yes'm-and the finest specimen
in this menagerie or in any raenag-
erie in the country"
do tell How that reminds me
of John? John was always at the
head of the heap. Now, do tell me
some of the peculiarities of the cam
ell, won't you?"
"Yes, ma'am. He has a long
neck"
Just like John He had tie
longest neck you ever saw on man.
Gracious / wish you could haye
seen the standing collars he used to
wear. Come, now, tell me some
thing more"
''The camel has the largest natur-
al hump of any animal in existen-
ence."
"Just like Johnl You never saw a
man that could hump himself as
John could, when he had mind
to-"
"The camel is also great travel
er."
''Just like john l never could
keep him at home nights"
'He is called the ship of the des-
ert."
"Just like John He could get
more pie aboard than any other man
in Vermont"
Just then the lions began to roar
and the woman started on a dead
trot to see now much meat they
could eat at one meal.
Say" cried the attendant of the
camel There's one thing 1 hain't
told you about this animal-the
most important of ali. "
whats that" cried the woman,
turning around in her tracks.
HE can go for weeks without
drinking drop of water"
"Just like Johnl" exclaimed the
excited female. You never saw a
man"
But the lions began toroar so loud
that her voice was lost to the attend
ant of the camel and he forgot all
about the little incident, until later
in the day, when he saw a female in
black in front of the monkeys cage,
and heard her explain, by way of
comment, or some remark of the
keeper:
"Just like Johnl 7"

A Young Parsons Retort.

Bishop Wilmer, Protestant Epis-
copal, of Alabama, is one of the read
lest men with retort to be found in
the States. His first parish was in
Virginia. At a certain company,
where all the gentlemen ofthe neigh
borhood were, the young clergyman
was present. There was also pres
ent man noted for his in6delity
as to Christianity, and for the rough
ness of his manners and speech to
those by whom it was professed.
This skeptic soon began to talk at
the youthful parson, who prudently
made no reply. The enemy became
more aggressive, and, addressing
him directly, said:
Mr.. Wilmer, you don't seem to
like to talk about religion and the
Bible"
"Yes, sir" he replied II do like
to talk about it to people who are
earnest and respectful in their treat
ment of it,
We'll, reJolned the assallant, II
you will answer me one question |
will let you off.
Mr.. Wilmer said
''Sir, l do not know that / care to
be let off from anything but ask me
the question, and if it is a proper
question, and If | know the answer
| will give it to YOU"
"Well sir, | have asked all the
preachers | have ever seen, and none
Of them could tell me, and now |
ask you: What become of the body
of Moses when the devil and the
angels had contest over
it?n
1t was trying question for the
young Theologian. and a trying oc-
casion, for the assembled company
all silently awaited his reply. He
quickly arose from his chair, walked
across the room, stood directly in
front of his antagonist and said.
firmly and respectfully: "Sir, that
question does not concern you in the
least
why not, sir ?"
Because tits perfectly certain no
arcli8ngel will have any contest
with the devil over your body"
The infdel confessed himself
whipped, and, joining in the laugh
at his own expense, said he would
bet $500 on his parson against any
other preacher in the country.
