The Provost Wa. Angry.

Our minister was learned and warm
hearted, but somewhat cratic and alb
sentminded. He had a pony that had a
great aversion to donkeys, and It was
with the greatest difficulty that it could
be got to pass one of those animals on
the road.
One day when riding to Forfar he
met ear Quilkie an itinerant earthen-
ware merchant whose stock in trade
was drawn by a. donkey. The pony
reared and backed and was only got
past after a great struggle.
The minister. at the turn of the road
d little farther on and before his mind
was quite composed. met the provost Of
Forfar.
"a fine day. provost" said the minis
ter.
: Eyes, fine day. Mr.. Allan" replied the
provost.
do you think, provost, I'm likely to
meet any more asses on this road"
The provost used strong language in
reply, though there was no cause for it.
