Take China, said a homoeopath to an ague 
shaken mortal. And the driviling idiot imme¬ 
diately repaired to his home and devoured a 
tete-a-tete set. He’ll shake no more. 
The Rochester (N. Y.) Express says, “ The 
story is told, and it is said to be entirely true, 
that at the recent dedication of a Baptist churoh 
in this county, the ceremony of immersion wsb 
performed for the first time in that church by a 
well-known Baptist minister of this city. When 
he had entered the water, and while waiting for 
the candidate, the minister suggested that some¬ 
body should sing an appropriate hymn. One of 
the deaconB who stood near by,heard the sugges¬ 
tion, and, without thinking, struck up the famtlar 
hymn, • Pull for the shore. ’ The hymu proved to 
be so suggestive that neither the minister nor 
congregation could restrain an audible smile for 
some time, and the cermony had to be post¬ 
poned until the preacher could recover hiB grav¬ 
ity. ”
