THE DMA CON'A- MIHHA A pood many years ago, when the Methodist were rather unpopular in the Eastern States, witty divine of that .'denomination was serving his second ^'car in a country town in New England. It was rather remarkable in those days for the Conference to send the same minister two successive years to the srmie church, especially in a country town hut it was done in this instance, and it seemed to be entirely natisfactory to all concerned. The clergyinau enjoyed the confidence and love 1 his own church and narish, and he had, by his piety and fidelity to the cause of Christ, won the respect of all good people who knew hirn, outside of

Jiis own parish. .So the other two churches, Congregationalist and I5aptist, had begun to manifest a spirit of tolerance towards him and his church, quite unusual for them.

About thanksgiving time, a regular attendant of the Uuptist church died the liaptjst minister was sick, and the Congrogntionalist minister was out of town. I'nder these circumstances, it was decided to invite the Methodist minister to conduct the funeral exercises. Tho invitation was accepted, and at the oroper time the good clergyman started for the house of mourning. He had some four miles to travel on foot, and to save distance left the road and went across the fields and through woods. Near this bv-way where lie was traveling there lived an old lady, a member of his church. As he was HO near, lie thought he would call a moment. The old lady did not get out to church very often, it was so far from her home, and she was lame, too she was, therefore, of course overjoyed to nee her minister, and what he had intended should be a momentary call was prolonged into quite a visit, in spite ul all tiio efforts to get away.

The old lady was making sausagos when he called. At last he told her he mnxt go, but alio said ho must wait a minute while she put tip a mess of sauHiigcs for him to carry home with him— enough for his family's dinner. He tried to explain to her the impropriety of the pi in under tho circumstances, but she was inexorable tako the sausages he muat, and sho could llx them so they would be uo ineonvenieiico to him, and the matter need not come to the knowledge of any one else.

Tho saus iges were neatly done up in white cloth and snugly pinned—two parcels—and put in the pockets of his swallow-tailed coat behind, a parcel in each pocket. Then he hurried away. Jnno.-cut, kind-hearted old lady! sho did not Imagine what grief, shame, mortification and sorrow of heart this little act would cause her pastor and he, in his hurry to make lost time, little dreamed what awaited him in conseouenco of the old ladv's gift!

When ho arrived at tlie house cf tho deceased, he found lnrge company wailing. The neighboring farmers from far and near had assemblod to pay their tribute of resoect and esteem for the dead some had come with carriages, and their horses were hitched to Miirroundinir trees, fences and posts. Tliev hail allowed their dogs to follow Ih 'in. There was a large gathering of men and boys about tho dooryard, wailing for tin* minister, who was late the womeu had mostly gone inside, and the dogs wero exchanging civilitios, or incivilities, in true dog stylo, as they happened to take a liking, or a disliking. to ea-'h other—trotting about with their tails rolled up in rigid coils, scratching the ground aside at times, causing the dust and dead grass to fly, ami casting approving glances, or uttering low growls of warning, according as they felt towards each other.

When the minister arrived he was recognised, shook hands with such as he was acquainted with, and was introduced toothers. He had hurried to get there in time, got heated up, and wanned up the sausages in his pockets. They were very savory, and were emitting*a fragrance that soon came in contact with the olfactory nerves of the hungry -dogs. The latter left ott* their attentions to each other and began to snutV for tho source of the pleasant odor, which they hijjhly appreciated and they soon traced it to the minister. They clustered iftout liitu in a very frieivlly manner, but no notice was taken of them and when he went into the house, they weut to.

A prayer was offered at the residence, during which the dogs smelled out the whereabouts of the savory meat exactly, and in tho doing of this they greatly annoyed the minister, and e.iused his cheeks to burn and heart to ache. After the prayer, the corpse was carried to tho church", which was near by, and thither the whole company followed, where the service* won' to be protracted. The dogs went, too, and soon after the minister took his plnee in the pulpit thev began to skirmish round hl« i-oat pockets. If it H«d IKHMI any whew except In church, or on any o.vi*ion but a funeral, the dogs would have lx«cn cudgeled atul sent howling away but as it was, no one wished to disturb the |tiiet sanctity of the place by the yelping of dogs. They seemed to comproiiotul tho sWiittlloii *MKI tn® most of it. They went up Into the pulpit—a single one at a time—two and three *t a time. Sometimes two companies would meet o'lsing from opposite sides of the pulpit, but all centering behind the minister, whose only means of defense was In kicking out behind at them, by guess but the dogs were wary, good at dodging and none grit hit.

Thus theuerviee went on. The mental anguish of the good minister cannot l»e described but there was no alternative—he must procwd as best h* could. At last to his 01/ relit/, he was about 10 clo*e his jwu: of the service bv pronouncing the '. niedictlon—had already closed his eye and raised his hands for this j»urpo"«*—when a worthy deacon of the Baptist Church wished to have the minister read a noticc. The Deacon was a tuau of rather diminutive siwy and walked as lightly as scat. I!e had approached the pulpit with the notice in uin hand, unperwived by the minl*~ ter, and wit* on the within r- acht wheu the minister r.u-xl his !.=.nd»

The Deacon, to attract his attention, twigged his coat tail. Of course the minister thought it was a dog, and that it was necessary for him to ltick once more, which he did. The Deacon, not on the lookout, like the dogs, received the minister's foot in his side and tumbled headlong down the stairs.

There was a scream, and a rush of the Deacon's family a general uprising of the whole congregation, and exit dogs. In the midst of this confusion, the minister waved his hand to restore order. After the people were seated and quiet again reigned, he told the people the story of the sausages in all its particulars, which seemed a satisfactory explanation, and the funeral

Enown

roceeded but that minister was never to carry sausages in his coat pocket again.

OXE of the most touching and dreadful domestic tragedies ever enacted occurred about a week ago near Navasota, Grimes county, Texas. In the midst of a neighoorhood infested with robbers, resided Mr. and Mrs. Goodrich, a tender and affectionate couple. One night, feeling assured she heard burglars in the liouse, Mrs. (ioodrich aroused her husband, who, arming himself with a pistol andbowie knife, went in pursuit. In the darkness he struck one who fled outside. Another at the same time passed him and sought refuge in the house. In order to intercept him Mr. Goodrich passed around outside the house, to his bedroom window, which he knew was raised, and out of which he expected the burglar would issue. Meanwhile Mrs. Goodrich suffering from faintness (which may have been superinduced by the chloroform the burglars had with them arose from the bed where her husband had left her, and groped her way, through the thick darkness, to the window, for air. At that very moment her armed and excited husband reached the sill from the outside. Seeing the obscure outlines of a human form there, the wretched husband mistook them for those of the second burglar, and with knife and pistol immodliately began an attack whose horrors pass conception when it is remembered that it was directe a against the rm cf his wife, between whose self and him existed such faithful and tender love. The discovery of the mistake came all too late. The ill-fated woman died with her arms around the neck of the worsefated man, breathing into his ear, with her last quivering accents, whispers ol forgiveness, fidelity and love.

Tin-: Indian of a by-gone day used to stand on a bluff, with folded arms, and gaze sadly upon tho iron lioss as it snorted through his hunting-grounds. Now he d—ns the baggage-man because ho doesn't chuck his carpet-bag in a hurry, shakes hands with the conductor, borrows a chaw from the brakesman, and, reclining upon two seats, masticates peanuts and reads the Police Gazette, as the express bears him "to the portal of the West wind. Of the Northwest wind, Keewaydin."

THK Dubuque 'Ionics says: "There is a difference between a frog and a toad. There is a difference between a preacher and a pickerel. A Humboldt county preacher, on the lookout for a frog tor bait, found a toad, loaded a hook with it, and went pickerel fishing. He caught 110 pickerel, because, although he didn't know the difference between a frog and a toad, the pickerel did, and that's tho difference botweon a preacher and a pickerel.
