much uneasiness that something may be
''nipped" before the proper precautions
are taken to keep him at bay. Such ex-

An Old Horse.

heard a story lately of one of the
experiences of minister which are
sometimes pathetic and sometimes
amusing. An old parson was very
much in need of a horse, and the sis
tiers of the flock determined to raise
the money to buy him the desired ami
NAL. After much exertion they raised
an amount considerably below the es.
timated price, and the beast acquired
was proportionately deficient in the
qualities which make Bucephalus su.
perior to Rosinante.
One day when the horse was tied in
front of the parsonage, sporting mar
drove by and, seeing the outfit, stopped
and remarked to the parson: well
dominic, that isn't much of an ANNA
the sisters gave you, is it2" Don
say word against the horse, said tn,
parson indignantly; that's a better
beast than my Saviour rode into Jeru
salem"
The sport gravely descended from
his carriage, examined the horses
legs, gazed into his blinded eyes ant
looked at his teeth. AS he closed the
horses mouth and turned away, b.
laconically remarked:
Same beast, parson, same beast. >

blakc'S mems.

There used to live in Waldo county,
Me-, an itinerant shoemaker named
Blake, who never lived in any house
over three months at a time, and was
on the go SO much that his acquaint-
ances called him ':Moving Blake" In
addition to large family of boys and
girls, he was always accompanied by
flock of faithful hens that went with
him from place to place.
1t is asserted on good church going
authority that these hens became SO
used to moving that when they saw
the shoemaker's scanty furniture com.
ing out of the house, they would walk
up to the door, throw themselves fiat
on their backs and, crossing their legs,
would lie there until Blake came out
and tied them together with string.
More than a dozen reputable residents
of Frankfort, Prospect, Stockton and
Searsport can vouch for the remark

Eating Us. Drinking.

We are corrected for saying that
the French Canadians eat pea soup.
This correction proceeds from Hamil-
ton, where, we infer, they drink pea
soup. 1t depends upon the kind OF
pea soup You can drink the kind
they serve in the aristocratic man
sions and palatial hotels of Hamilton,
because it has no peas in it, those vul-
gar vegetables having been removed
before it gets to the table. But you
can't drink the good, old fashioned
pea soup that the habitants and other
humble people eat, because it is all
peas. You might as well talk about
quaffng a flowing bowl of porridge.

captain of an American ship came into port a
few days ago with a cargo of New-England apples
and sold them for S11 barrel. He went back
without a cargo because he was not prepared to

he promised TO repeat it at once. What is want

buy and then supplying the demand.
