Napoleons of Finance.

One day Rev. Mark Guy Pearse, in a tramp through Cornwall, came to a little village in which a tea meeting was going on. Mr. Pearse entered the little chapel and joined in the tea. He was in the most unclerical of costumes, which was an act ol sense on his part, but during the process of tea one or two of the “leaders” managed to recognize him. Whereupon one of them approached him and said, in anxious whisper: “Be you Rev. Mark Guy Pearse?" “Yes, I be,” he answered. ‘Tthought as how you was. Now, do you 6ee, we want to raise a little money, and a thought have struck us. Now, dc ’ee just come out quiet like and saj nothing to nobody, and then we will put ’ee in the vestry, and we will go into the chapel and say: ‘ Rev. Mark Guy Pearse, author of “Daniel Quorm, ” is in the vestry, and can be seed at threepence each, the proceeds to go for the good of the cause.’”— New York Tribune.”
