Boy AND BIRD.-There was an old
minister who used to preach In a
church in western New York who
never allowed any levity among his
congregation, and kept rigid watch
over the young people of his charge.
On one occasion foolish youth sat
in one of the front pews and created a
stir by lunging at some object that
flew in through the open window.
The old minister was purblind, but he
peered over his glasses and saw some,
thing flying about the witless youth
who was fighting tooth and nail.
"There! there, sonny" he said,
with authority, "never mind the
bird"
Then he resumed his discourse, but
the congregation seemed more inter-
ested in the youth and his contortions
than in the sermon, and he stopped
and again peered over his spectacles
at the flying object and the boy.
"D'ye hear, sonny!" he said, in a
loud voice. "Never mind the bird"
This was too much for the youth,
who answered in shrill key:
"Tain't a bird; it's whaoking big
humble bee, an I'll be blamed If it's
goin' to come to meetin' when I dew"
The controversy was stopped by one
of the deacons, who removed the
"bird."

"No, ate it."

SOMETHING OF A SToRY.-As an
illustration of the "colossal liars" OF
the west, General McCook relates the
following: He was travelling among
the Rocky mountains and, straying
one morning from the trail, stood for
a moment entranced by the magnifi-
cent landscape spread before him,
when he was aroused from his medi.
tation by the footsteps of one of the
guides who had followed him lest he
should lose his way.
"Is not this magnificent, Bill ?" ex-
claimed the general, anxious to share
in his delight. =.
"It's mighty purity, general" said
the guide, "but kin show you bigger
sights nor this. Why, one time Kan
sas Jim and me had been trampin'
three days and nights, and we came
to plain, and right in the midst Of it
was a forest all turned to solid stun !"
The general smiled and remarked !:
"I have heard of petriied trees before,
Bill"
The guide expectorated without
changing countenance, and continued,
"But that warn't all, gineral; thar
war buffalo on the plain and he war
petri6ed on the clean jump, and his
huffs had kicked up a bit of sod, and
I'm blamed eff that warn't petrifed in
the air !"
The general turned an amused
countenance on the narrator and said !:
"Why Bill, the sod would have fallen
to the ground by force of gravity"
Without any hesitation Bill an
swered, "Well, gineral, the gravity
was petrifed too P'
