Rev. ]. E. Malov, of Colora, was down in Balti

On account of the environments surrounding
his birth, which are to his credit, and his nat
ural instinct for the seeking of crumbs we must
congratulate our friend ''Aus.'' Shake.
What's the difference between q doctor and a
preacher? One is a great assistance in bringing
| us into the world, while the other is of use in
| showing us out.
VIM. Richardson, who has been confined to his
home by illness since the 4th of July, while
doing in rocking chair fell to the floor, caused
| by the giving way of rocker. and injured his
right arm so that for the present, at least, it's
| useless
Now it came to pass that in the land of the
birth of Ans. Crothers there was church, the
| members of which needed a religious awakening
And they did send unto the land of peaches,
berries and crabs for young leader, that he
might "Pilot' them the road to the cross, yea
even as he did unto the folks on the Eastern Shore
| And he came into their midst, was given hearty
welcome and babe enter. And he did charge and
beseech them Especially the single girls) of the
path of duty and to follow him. Now it came to
pass that couple of girls fell in love with the
| divine and he with them, for 10 and behold, he
told them of his single bessedness that they Were
the lily of his life; like unto the sweetness OF the
| honeycomb, and that love for them was stored in
his heart like unto the dam at Hunters Mill (but
he sayeth nothing about the slush at the bottom),
and things waxeth warm. And he doth yet preach
| the gospel and love. but more love than gospel
which tickleth the girls.
And there were many in the church TO near ana
| believe what he sayeth unto them.
| Now it came to pass that at one of the services
| a lady and little boy did enter the church and
did take unto seat the door. And in little
| while the youngster looketh up and seeth some
| thing in the pulpit and doth cry like unto loud
childish voice, There's papa,-papa!
That something in the pulpit doth faint and
doth drop to the platform and it doth create
| sensation and commotion. And the something
was tenderly picked up and carried to the open
air where cold water thrown upon his brilliant
| eountenance, after the youngster had thrown cold
| water upon his hearers And his wife did ask OF
| him what he intended to do, whether he was
| going to continue his already six weeks of de-
sertion, or whether he would depart unto the land
of truck farms with her. And he sayeth unto her.
| l will go with thee.
| PS-Upon the saying of this, the devil dumped
| another keg of tar in his pot. eot down another
| bag of feathers and poked another chunk of wood
| in the fire and ordered an imp to turn the grind
| stone and work the bellows while he sbarpened
his pitchfork and welded new steel point upon
| the end of his tail.
