A Practical Teat.

He had heard the old man was a Baptist, and although he bad nothing to say against the belief of this sect he Implied that perhaps the established church was the better road to salvation. The old man, after listening to the vicar’s fears on his behalf, said: “From this village to the market town there are three roads. There’s the straight road along the valley, the old coach road over the hills and the main road running alongside the park wall. When I get my wheat to the market town they don’t say to me, ‘Hullo, John, which road did you come by 7 but ‘What’s your wheat like 7”
