Some years ago, in Georgia, tha. band of christians known as Ascensionists were having a grand revival. One day when the meeting was in full force storm came up, and young gentleman who was out hunting with his servant took refuge in- side the church door. Being curious to s e the service, the two hunters crept up into the gallery, and there hid in place where they could see without being ob- served.
 Come, Lord, come; our robes are ready. Come, Lord, come," cried the preacher, and all present gave loud "Amen."4 - aaf,
 "Marsa Gabe, " whispered Cufy, lifting his hunting horn to his mouth, "let me glib dem jist one toot." .
 ''Put that horn down, or I'll break your head, replied the master, in whisper.
 The horn dropped by Cuffy's side, and again the minister cried:
 "Come, Lord, come; we are all ready for thy coming. Come, Lord, eome."
 ''Do, Marsa Gabe-do jes' femme glib dem one little toot," pleaded Cufy, wet ting his lips and raising tho horn.
 eff you don't drop that horn, Cuffy, I'll whip you within an inch of your life, D whispered the exasperated master.
 "Blow, Gabriel, blow we are ready for His coming. Blow, Gabriel, blow, plead the minister | Cuffy could no longer resist the tempta- tion, and sent wild peal ringing from end to end of the church. Long before its last echo died away, his master and him. self were the sole occupants of the build ing. .:., s..s

A Modest Young Fellow.

Oh, by love am tired of leap-year,
 Though as yet it's weeks number but few, For there's so many coming to WOO me, That really don't know what to do. There's Bess, who forever is talking
 Of my lovely moustaches and hair; dBlanche, who declares that with emeralds- mean sapphires-my eyes can compare And Ethel, who says I'm distingue;
 And Jennie who calls me her lamb - Oh, by love, it is quite overwhelming
 To fellow as shy as I am
 As modest and shy as am. There's Annie, who models my hand and There's Nellie, who sketches my face; And the charming young widow Bell Lester, Who writes of my exquisite grace; ;- And soon they will all be proposing. Oh, by love, how wish I could sleep, Or lose about half my attractions,
 Till the end of the year that's called leap ; For don't-no, don't want to marry,
 And to have the girls courting me so, Oh, by love, it is quite overwhelming
 To a very shy fellow, you know & A modest young fellow, you know.
