transferred it to Mr. T., the trader, who pro¬ 
poses to keep it alive for perhaps a year or 
two. 
Now the butcher informs the farmer that 
lie can have the hide when the animal is

Who Are Those Arrayed in White? 
They tell a good Btory on the early ap¬ 
pearance of Dr. Bkthune, in a church then 
located on the outskirts of the city of Roch¬ 
ester. The edifice was placed in the center 
of a large square or park, and it being sum¬ 
mer time, the open doors made the green 
aisle carpets appear like a continuation of 
the grassy lawn outside. At least, so the 
matter appeared to a half-dozen geese, who 
quietly walked into the church just as the 
preacher was closing a splendid passage of 
eloquence, and was quoting the lines: 
“ Who nro those arrayed in white?” Ac. 
A green, half-grown country hoy, who sup¬ 
posed the quotation so eloquently propound¬ 
ed required answer, at once replied, in a 
bashful lisp, “Them—them there’s geeth.” 
The wings of the young minister were thus 
abruptly clipped while he was a-Hight, and 
the ones “arrayed in white” were the only 
dignified individuals in Ihc audience.

[ but Jack was ready, and showed by a com¬ 
rade that he received but a dollar and a-lialf 
in change, so he could not have given the 
man the hill. After a little talk the matter 
was allowed to drop by the storekeeper, who 
has probably learned something he did not 
know before. 
Not Good to do Errands, 
A lady went a few days ago to a dress¬ 
maker to inquire after the character of a 
servant. 
“ What I wish most of all to know,” said 
she, “ is whether she is honest, and can do 
errands well.” 
“ As to her honesty, I can answer for that 
replied Madame - hut as to errands, 
she did not satisfy me at all. For instance, 
I sent her a dozen times to your house with

brought me back a single cent.”

The butcher went to the farmer ancl of¬

steer, the farmer to have the hide when the 
animal was killed. As the hide was probably 
worth five or six dollars, the farmer sold at

brute’s hide and convert it into money. 
The butcher drove away the animal, but
