It was a small country Sunday school,
and at roll call every separate and Indi
vidual member was charitably supposed to
have provided himself, or herself, by ar
dlous labors, with an Illuminating verse
from the Bible for the edification of the
attendant roomful. Bobby, the minister's
son,, was notoriously deficient In this re
spect, and relied trustingly on the bene
factions of his sister.
"Sister," he whispered, as Inexorable fate
approached him "sister, tell me a verse."
But his sister only shook her head. Time
pressed; Bobby returned to the attack.
"But you must tell me one. Papx'll be
to me in a minute, and what'll I doT Please
tell me one."
But the springs of sisterly charity had
gone dry. "Every tub must stand on Its
own bottom." she said.

The lawyer told Mike Dolan, 'his client,
that he had a good fighting case. Mike
mused a minute and then said, tentatively:'
."Do you" think It would do any good to
send his honor a couple o" ducks?" "No,
no!" replied the lawyer; "I know him too
wel). If you did that he would decide the
Jcaie against you, sure as fate." Two days
afterward the case was beard, and Mike,
won It out and out. So he called on his
lawyer, and In the course of settling up af
fairs remarked: "Well, you see, sir, It was
just as well I sent his honor those ducks."
"What!" exclaimed the astonished counsel;
"you sent the ducks after what I said?"
"Yes, I did." replied Mike; "only', after
what you told me, I thought it just as well
to send them from the man on the other
side." Dundee Advertiser.
