Disappointed.

In "Yesterday with the Fathers” Dr. William Wiberforce Newton gives an entertaining anecdote concerning one of the "Fathers” and an observant small girl. When preaching, the bishop had a peculiar habit of breathing in air like an organ bellows: and sometimes the** whistling of his air pipes could be beard by the occupants of the pews near the pulpit. A little girl in Old Trinity church, becoming restless during the preaching, asked her mother to let her go home. The mother refused, because she supposed that the bishop was Sf>4il proaching the end of his discourse. After the third refusal from fieri mother, who whispered that the bishop would not like to see a little girl go ont of church while be was preaefe f ing, and that he was almost done now, the child answered in a high falsetto: “ "No, mother, be is not going to stop. I thought so now for three times, hut he has gone and blowed , himself up again.”—Youth’s Companion.
