1t is easy for a man to repent stealing hogs

1t is easy for dog to believe in the honesty

Next to laziness the hardest thing on earth
to resist is the impulse To take sides in fight
The only time silence may be said to b

Maj Perry, the illiterate and ignorant
Edgefield county, S. c., negro, who,
while in what appears to be trance
sleep, breaches learned and eloquent ser
mons, is still attracting a great deal of
attention, and several enserprising citi-
zens of Edgefield county now have the
human phenomenon in charge and are
exhibiting him TO large audiences. The
modus operandi is as follows:
Perry goes to bed and lies outstretched
in full view of the audience, and by the
time the spectators have assembled 10
fast asleep. After a few moments of APP
parently sound slumber his muscles be-
gin to twitch, his limbs to contract, and
his body becomes contorted in unseemly
shapes. This spasm soon passes off. and
then lie begins to preach. He takes his
text from the Bible, naming book. chap
ter and verse, all the time lying flat on
his back, with his eyes shut, and for half
an hour or more breaches, using strictly
grammatical and even eloquent lam
guage. At the conclusion of his sermon
he sings hymn to an old air, but the
words of it entirely new and of his own
composition. Then comes prayer. and
he dismisses the congregation Louis
