The Peasant and tho Priest.

An Irish peasant once complained to tho
Catholic pricst of his parish that some
pcrson had stolen his bost pig and suppl
Gated his reverence to help him to the dis
covory of the thief. Tho priest promised
his best cndeayor, and his inquiries soon
leading him to guess the offender he took
the following amusing method of bringing
the matter homo to him. Next Sunday
aftor the service of the day hc called out
with IA loud voice, fixing his cyc on tho
suspected individual, "Who stole Pat Doc
lan's Pig"
There WAS long pause and no answer.
He did not expect thoro would be any and
descended from the pulpit without saying
u word more.
y second Sunday arriving without the
pig being restored his reverence, again
looking stcadfastly at the stubborn pur-
loiner and throwing deep motto Of anger
into the tone of his voice, repeated the
question: "Who stole Pat Dooans pig?
l say, who stole Pat Doolans pig?"
Still there was no answer, and tho ques-
ton was left as before TO work its effect in
secret on the conscience " tho guilty indl-
vidual. The hnrdihood of tho offender,
however, exceeded all tho honest priest S
calculations.
n third Sunday arrived, and Pat Doc
Ian was still without his pig. Some
stronger measures now became necessary
After service was performed his reverence
dropping tho question Of "Who stole Pat
Dooan's pi9?" but still without directly
accusing any ono Of theft roproachfully
exclaimed, Jimmie Doran. Jimmie Do
ran, you trnte mc with contempt" Jim
mic Doran hung down his head and next
morning tho pig was found at the door of
Pat Doolan S cabin. Household Words.

The anxiety of the free silver dem

publican camp recalls Aesop's fable Of
the fox who wanted the raven to sing.
AS related by the great moralist, the
story is as follows:
A raven having stolen q piece oil
meat perched in a tree and held it In
his beck. A fox, observing the black
plumed bird, longed to possess himself
Of the meat, and by q willy stratagem
succeeded.
How handsome Is the raven" he ex'
claimed, Tin the beauty of his shape
and in the fairness of his complexion,
Oh, If his voice we're only equal to his
beauty he would deseryedly be called
the king Of birds!"
This he said deceitfully, but the ra-
ven being anxious to refute the impu.
tation upon his voice, set up q loud cav
and dropped the meat. The fox quick.

raven:
