Rough on His Lordship.
The verger of the little old country church was Bhowlng a party of visitors around. He pointed out the place where Cromwell’s cannon balls would have hit the church, only it wasn’t built then, and all the usual sights of.the place. Then they ascended the belfry. There the verger drew a long breath, and the visitors crowded around eagerly. Evidently they were to see the sight of sights. "Now, this 'ere bell,” said the verger, proudly; "a bit remarkable this bell is, It is only rung on the occasion of a visit from the lord bishop, * fire, a flood or any other such calamity!”
