a Weak Bell.

The following anecdote of DR.. Ly-
man Beecher was told by a former stu
dent of Lane seminary, present at the
time. Even 10Y he cannot refer to it
without laughter.
There had been an unusual number
of cases of hardness in chapel attend
ance, and the blame was laid upon the
chapel bell. DR.. Beecher waxed sarcas-
tic over the frequent recurrence of this
excuse, until II morning the students,
assembled as usual, found the services
unaccountably delayed. At last DIR.
Beecher, in dressing gown and slippers,
with hair like the quilts upon the fret
full porcupine," came jerkily down the
aisle, mounted the platform and deliv-
cred himself of the following explana-
ton:
Didn't hear the old bell. Makes no
more noise than a lambs tail rung in a

~ STORY.

You know that little dago who
Stood on the burnin deck
Because HRS father was toe dead
To bid him quit the wreck.
Some folks may think 1t fine to write
A pom on what he did,
But, say, he waren't a marker
To our captains little kid.
We was cruisin just off Sandy Hook.
A-shoo;in at a mark,
An little Jack stood ON the bridge
An thought it all IA lark.
"Stay right up there his father said,
An knew the little kid
Would meet no harm, because he'd do
Exact as he was bid.
when, just like that, a shell with fuse
Alight came rollin aft,
An men an boys they skipped one side
lust like as they were daft.
Twas just n silly trick o some
Fresh mischief maxim mid,
But it seemed all lead in earnest to
The captains Little kid.
He gave one hasty look aroun.
His Up curled up in scorn,
Then swung hisself down on the deck.
An true as you were born.
He grabbed that burnin fuse in both
His little hands, he did.
An yankcl it out! Say, did we shout
Then for the captains kid?
The captain came, an he was mad;
How dared You disobey?"
"Well, pops" the little chap spoke out,
"YOu see twas just this way:
You wasn't here; but, pops, | knew
Just wat you would "a did,
An so l took my chances. Was
right The plucky kid.
The captain, wy, he just broke down,
An fairly piped his eye
An nodded Yes" he was that choked
Twas all he could reply.
That's why the men all stick to Jack:
He touched their hearts. he did.
That dago wasn't in it with
The captains little kid!
