A Mistake.
A mistake recently happened in a church at Syracuse, N. Y., which has been much afflicted in its two last pastors, one of whom has died and the other became so debilitated that he his gone south to pass the winter At a prayer-meeting one of the brethern, who had just received a letter from lhe absent minister, arose to report, but by a singular infelicity got the deceased pastor’s name into the place of the debilitated one,’ and remarked: “He says the weather is very warm—indeed, unusually and uncomfortably warm in that locality.”
