pARsoN TOLD THE BIGGEST LIE.

Some years ago, says Harper's Round

bishop who was extremely pompous and
very fond Of impressing upon the minds
Of the poorer people the evil Of dong
wrong, As they never seemed to do
augla but wrong in the worthy mans O.
pnion, it sometimes became irkSome to
these people to hear aim constantly ad-
monlshing them to do right. One of the
bishops habits was TO visit..the miners
a short distance from his city, and his
presence grew familiar to these toilers
During one OF his calls he found "A group
Of them talking together, and after a few
preliminary words ON his customary sub
ject Of doing right, he asked them what
they were talking Of
You see" said one Of the men. we
found kettle. and rs has been er-tlyins
who can tell the biggest loi 70 own the
kettle"
The bishop was duly surprised aud
read the men ii lecture in which he spoke
Of low strongly the offense Of lying had
btcn impressed upon him when he was
young, and how he had never told lie in
the whole curse Of his life. He had hard
ly finished when one of them cried out:
"Gi'e him the kettle, jim! Gle him the
kettle"
