A Sunday Toy.

[Texas Siftings.] An Austin clergyman, on his way home from ohurch, stopped his carriage to rebuke a boy who was industriously firing off a toy pistol. “Don’t you know it is wrong to fire off a toy pistol on Sunday.” “It isn’t wrong to fire off this toy pistol on Sunday?” . “Why not?” bought it with the money ma gave me to put in the contribution box. This is a Sunday toy, this is,” re- : plied the boy ‘playfully shooting a hole in the clergyman’s stove pipe hat, before F he oould get out of reage.
