ANCHRONISMS.

It was a winter day in summer The snow was raining fast, A barefoot boy with his shoes on Sat standing in the grass. While the organ peeled potatoes, Lard was rendered by the choir; While the sexton rang the dishrag, Some one set the church afire. “Holy Smoke,” the preacher shouted; Just then he lost his hair. Now his head resembles Heaven, “For there’s no parting there.”
