Tongue Slips.

Representative Washburn, toastmaster at the propagation dinner of the Legislature recently, told a story of a pastor who, coming to a new parish, got his words slightly twisted in his announcement. Said he: “I have come here to heal the dead, cast out the sick, and raise the devil.” Another ministerial friend of Washburn’s, speaking to a congregation, remarked: “I am sorry to see so many absent faces I used to shake hands with.”—Boston Record.
