EQUAL TO THE OCCASION.

Booker T. Washington tells n
amusing story of an old colored
preacher who was endeavoring to ex-
plain to his congregation how it was
that the children of Israel passed over
the Red Sea safely, while the Egyp-
tians, who came after them, were
drowned. The old man said: "My
brethren it was this way: When the
Israelites passed over it was early in
the morning, while it was cold and
the ice was strong enough so that
they went over all right; but when
the Egyptians came along it was in
the middle of the day, and the sun
had thawed the ice so that it gave
way under them and they were drown
ed" At this young man in the
congregation, who had been away to
school and had come home, rose and
said: II don't see how that expla-
nation can be right, parson. The
geography that I've been studying
tells us that ice never forms under the
equator, and the Red Sea is nearly
under the equator. :" "There, now,"
said the old preacher, that's all
right. I'se been 'spectin' some of
you smart Alexis would be askin'
jest some such fool question. The
time I was talking about was before
they had any jogafries or 'quators,
either"

THE PARSONS SOFT TIME.

''The parson has soft time of it, +"
says the village butcher or the oiled
clerk in the old red store. "Why,
he hasn't nothin' to do but write SER

go to prayer meetings and evening
meetings, and praise meetings and
revival meetings, and children S meet
ings, Bible meetings and business
meetings of the church societies and
village improvement societies and So

Nothing to do but to call on all his
people regularly and visit the sick
and look after the poor and enter
tain travelling clerical and semi-cleri-
cal visitors and serve on the school
committee and take prominent part
in all town affairs and in heaven

of every crank, busybody and bore,
to go to conference and ministerial
meetings, to hear long yarns from
seedy imposters whom his heart dis
trusts but who seldom go away emp
ty-the poorer the minister the more
he gives away in proportion to his
means.
Nothing to do but try to be the
peacemaker among his people, to
give up his rare peep into the Greek
Testament and hear some snugy old
woman bewail her imaginary woes !;
to tutor his boys when he can get
the chance; to try to exc out his
slender resources by little work in
his potato patch, his agricultural Ia
bor to drive the old gray mare 20
miles and back so that he can preach
the funeral sermon over an old par
ishioner; to be on the run from
weeks end to weeks end and find
time to write his sermons only through
the pious diplomacy of his wife; to
be preacher, lecturer, almoner, unof-
fetal overseer of the poor, man of
business, general public character,
counsellor and agent and everybody's

A FLOWER SHOW.

Last night while you slept, my deary, in your
coy trundle bed,
And the tired brides slumbered in the branches
overhead;
Then out in the moonlit garden, where the flow

They awoke with fun and frolic to get ready for
their play.
And of all the nightly pastimes that these tiny
Their favorite amusement is to have a slower

Then the. glow worms lend their lanterns and
the fire flies their torches bring,
While the busy little spiders weave magic cir

Then, In grand procession, while mirth and fun
abound,
The ones who play at animals are seen parading
And some are bound with clover chains, SO bold
and fierce are they;
And some In cobweb cages are put safely out the
way.
The Dandy-lion shakes his name, and PAGES up
And the tawny Tiger-liy wears most ferocious
The little baby blossoms climb upon the Ele-
And stroke the shining Dragon-fy without a

The Johnny-iump-up takes the lead as a nimble

But when the pearly East grows pink with the
dawning of the day,
The circus stops abruptly and the flowers quit
their play;
The fairy orchestra is hushed. the lights fade
one by one,
The mimic cages vanish with the rising of the
sun.
In solemn silence all return to their accustomed
places,
And you'd never dream, my deary. just to see
their sober faces,
AS they straighten up demurely in stiff and
stately row,
That they ever held by moonlight, such funny
