A1l ON Account or a Hen.

Twas only little hen, with Topped
comb and flushed face, that broke up
the pastorate of an able Maine parson.
She used to sneak under the fence, you
know, just the way hens do always, tip
toe across the grass border with the min
uet step and then the elders garden had
to take it. OF course it was aggravat-
ing. Did you ever watch hen at this
job?
She trips carelessly into the middle of
the garden bed; she cocks her head; a
careless look comes into her eye; she bal
ances partners with flip and scrape to
the right, f1irt and a kick to the left, a
double shuttle and grand skirt dance
flourish. Then she looks for grub.
Well, that person saw the whole thing
for days; same hen, same gestures, and
she came in miraculously, astonishingly,
through a new hole every day. Then
came at length wrath and a girding of
the loins; gun, bangl-dead hen float
ing upon the placid breast Of river
eddy. The current washed the corpse
upon the neighbor's strand and then the
neighborhood heard the tale The atroci-
ty was famed vigorously and the poor
parson found that he was not to be an
assassin and the leader of the parish at
the same time. Therefore his farewell
sermon.-Dexter Gazette.
