THE NUNS AND THE P0PEs MOUTH

A funny story is appearing in some of
the continental papers concerning some
nuns and the Pope. The nuns presented
the latter with a piece Of beautiful en-
broidery on which a portrait Of the
Pope was worked. An eminent dignitary
was engaged to present the gift, but the
Pope complained Of the mouth being
made too large. The witty priest ext
your holiness will pardon the nuns; wo-

AS for where'd he got his idees he had
at the offstart, why, I'll have to-well,
the people in the settlement says, and
my old oman among 'em, they all says
he never got 'em from nobody but Vile

he had destroyed it, or that he meant

mo, not as / member. He were not

a-doin' and were a-meanin' to do, and
never ast him, it not bein' any o. my

'I was not in court when the will
was proved. You were, l heard, and
testified to the old gentleman's entire

"Oh, yes; I were the only witness
there. Billy Lilly he was dead, you
know, and that rattlin' Owen Car

were laid up with one o. his rheumatic

Amerson's mind were as sound as it
ever were, certain and sure, and it kept
so long as ! see him to talk with him,
if I'm any jedge."
''Yet he told Cullen, several times, a
month before he died, and in the pres

him against it, saying as they were
only two, both of age, they could di-
vide the estate between themselves"
'Is that so?'' he asked, in much sol

''It is.''
"Well, then, theirs obleeged to be

1.-The difficulty, Mr.. Flint, is in estab-
fishing this. Cullen is dead, and could
not testify il alive; neither can his
wife. The law, as | told you, will
stand to will that is fairly made, but
the law never lends countenance to
