A New Application of Scripture.

There was rejoicing in the village at the killing of a pig. Being dead, it was cut up; a neighbor’s cat stole secretly into the larder, and annexed a piece of of pork, which she brought in triumph to her mistress. Next day the clergyman of the parish visited the old woman, who recounted to him the remarkable sagacity of the beast. “It was quite beautiful, sir,** she said piously, “to’seethe way the sweet creature brought me the piece of pork; it brought to my mind what we read in the Bible about Elijah and the ravens.” —The Realm.
