An Cprodly Grin.

A Newburg minister was preaching
the ether day. A young girl annoyed
him by grinning. He said: There is in
this audience a young lady-no, young
glrl-whose head resembles an empty
basket. She has done nothing since she
entered the church but grin. want her
to know that all of life does not consist
of having fine bonnet" OF course the
girl shouldn't have grinned; but. all the
same. if she has any big brothers they
might properly put in 10 minutes in
demonstrating with that preacher. Fresh
ness in the pulpit should be discouraged.
