shortly before my visit stranger clergy
man was preaching, aud the sermon was

The dog grew tired and restless, and
at last thought occurred 10 him upon

Cd that one Of the elder Indian boys was
accustomed 10 hand round the plate for

by the boy, seated himself 10 The aisle
and gszed stesdiastly 10 the boys face,
Finding that no notice was taken. be sat

time, to Mr. Ashton's great Amusement.
Finally, ss this slso failed, the dog put

the sermon was concluded. Did no this
