A Case of Rank Heresy.

Bob Gimble is a colored man, and coachman to a certain Austin family. He is Of Episcopalian proclivities, and among the other numerous things he keeps is Lent. When the solemn sea,&on was raging last year, Bob carefully abstained from eating meat on Friday, and indulged in other ascetic frivolities. One day he unfortunately met Sam Pender, a colored Methodist, and gave him a Cut direct. Sam was indignant at this treatment, and at once demanded an investigation. ' “Ise no explanation to gib,” replied Bob. “Wiff my own eyes I seed you grease your boots wiff beef’s tallow on Friday. Youse no ’ligious principle inter yer. Youse a Bob Ingersoll moke, an’ if yer spokes ter me agin on de streets, Ise gwine ter flop you on de groun’ and stomp on yer, you .” Texas Siftings.
