The Rev. Father De Segur, in his
admirable little book ''ShOrt and Fa-
miliar Answers to the Most Common
Objections urged against Religion"
relates the two following anecdotes a
prS<,Os of the infidele's boast that
"there rs no God" to wit:
They tell story that, IN the last
cenfarg, when irreligion was the fash
ion. a aian of talent supped one night
with s@me pretended philosophers
wie spoke Of God and denied his ex-
istence. As for him he kept silent.
The eleck had just struck when his
opinion was asked. He c~ontented
himself with pointing to the clock
with his finger and repeating those
two lines SO full of wit and good sense +:
"FOr my part, more l think ont, less
can l suppose
That yon clock keeps good time yet no
matchmaker knows."
Pour ma part. plus J'y pense, ct
moins Je puts songer
Que Get horloge Marche ct matt point
d'hOrloger')
The story does not tell what his
friends replied.
Another anecdote is related of the
reply of lady to a celebrated unbe-
lever of the Voltairian school. He
had eDdeavored Intellectually to con-
vert her to bis atheism. Mortified by
her resistance II could not have be-
lieved," said he, "that in q reunion of
people of talent, / should be the only
one not to believe 10 G0d.n
"But you are not alone" replied the
mistress of the house "my horses,
my spaniel, and my cats have also
that honor; only those poor beasts
have the wit not to boast of It.n

laughable joke, selecting as his
victims w. D. Woulard, Geo. W.
Bllbo and Gus Thornhill. Know
ing from disagreeable experience
where a secluded hogebed was lo'
cated-one that was inhabited by
a SOW and her litter of pigs, will
million or more heas for compan
lons-Will informed his friends tina
one Of the pigs alluded to was or
namented with a fifth leg thai
grew from the back of its head
The three unsuspecting curiosity
hunters proceeded at once to inves
tlgate the aforesaid hog-bed. Sui
! flee it to say, the marvellous ANNA
was not discovered; but when thu
gentlemen crawled out it only re-
CURED few moments for them t.
realize the fact that their persona
were actually alive with fieas. Th'
| gist of the joke soon dawned upor
the minds of the unfortunate ex
plorers; and as they proceeded t.
make bee.line to obtain change o
clothing, yells oflaughter from the
bystanders, who were on to the
"racket," fairly split the atmos'
phere. 1t Is said that Will Bador
