Beneath Dignity of Minister to Chase Chicken.

Delphi Journal. “For it is written to ye men of the loth; and ye have a fowl and it runneth from thee, chase not, lest the multitude scorn, and the owners of .henneries - behold thee .with supicion.”—Not a Biblical quotation exactly—rather improvised, but good enough for the present usage. " , , Here is the story: Rev. C. L Harper, pastor of the Methodist church, was presented with a fines, plump fowl the other day, but while taking it home, the obstreperous bird sacriligously broke loose from his clutch and ran squawking up the Street. A few rapid steps the minister took in pursuit, and there was that in his eye which betokened unrelenting chase and a quick passing for Mr. Chicken. But the chase quickly became desul, tory, lagged and died altogether. For to the mind of the pastor had occurred the idea conveyed in our quotation above and appetite gave way to fear of the neighborhood tongue. Rev. Harper is himself too fond of a joke not to be ready with his own hearty laugh when the other chap is enjoying one at his expense, so we tell the story with no fear But it is the first time to our knowledge that a fowl, fairly on its way to the oven of a minister, gained even respite, let alone freedom.
