A Hard Case.
' Toor people have a hard time in this
Jitilc world of ours. Kvcn in manors of
religion there is a vast difference between
Lazarus and Dives as the following anee
tlote, sent us by a friend, will illustrate :
. Old Uilly (J had attended a great
revival, and, in common with mamy oth
ers, he , was " converted " and baptised.
Jiot many weeks afterwards one of his
neighbors met him reeling homo from the
turt grounds with a considerable brick in
his hat.
"Hello, uncle Billy, said the friend, " I
thought you had joined the church ?"
' " So 1 did," answered uncle Hilly, mak
ing a desperate attemj to stand Mill
so I did Jeeins, and would a bin a good
lupiLat if they had'nt treated me so ever
lasting mean ul the water. Didn't you
never hear 'Ikmii it Joemes?"
i NW did."
Then J'H toll you 'bout it. You see,
wheii we come to the bu'tising pluw, thar
was me and old Jenks, the rich old 'squire,
u-ar to be dipped at the same time. Well,
ihe minister tuck the 'nquire in fust, Ixit 1
didn't mind that much, as "I. thought it
would be jest as good when 1 cum ; so he
led Jum in, and after dippiu' him he raised
him up in i ley kuerful, and wiped his face
and led him out. Then cum my turn, and
instead of lifting me out like he did the
U(uire, he give me one slo.-h, and left ine
Irawlin' about ou tlie bottom like d d
mud turtle
' Men and women consume too much food
ami too little pure air; they take too much
inedi'.ine and too little exercise.
