BY THE REV. URIAit XERXES BUTTLES, D.D.
There is a little old German wo-
man who sometimes speaks in our
meeting, notwithstanding the obedi-
ence of our sect to St. Paul, and her re-
marks are invariably as follows :
"Oh how I wass feel, my preddren
and sisters 1 Ob how I wass feel this
night I am so discouraged! 'Tis well I
say to myself :offen and offen that te
time of our sojonrnin' here is prief, 'tis
• 80 difficult for me to pear te trials and
te thorns in te flesh te Lord ant to tevil
send upon me. I don't know what I'd
do mitou.t religion, for mit it, mein cray-
cious, how I wass feel sometimes 1"
As"de from the chronic trial which
Rabe + is aptly describes as "a disease
calle lack of money," I think the thorn
that digs deepest into a parson's flesh,
and makes him cry, like Mrs. Rosen-
blume, "Mein craycious ` how I wass
feel sometimes," is the communicative
person. .
When I left Betsy's Corners, I said to
myself and Mary Jane, `'I've felt so
times - that people considered mw
sort of sewer into which they had
right to pour their frets, and their feel-
ings, and their spites.. I'm not going to
hear any more such. gabbling, If I have
to tell people flatly, 'Be silent.'
"I hope they won't talk to you, then,"
said Mary Jane, plaintively. "Talk is
a good deal like steam ; it will escape
somehow. If you don't let folks tenet°
you they'll talk about you."
Three days after we had arrived in
our new bonne, and I was doing my
best to make a carpet twenty-five feet
square cover a room twenty-seven by
twenty-eight, the- door opened softly
and a dumpy little' woman waddled 1
in.
"I'm Mis' Rogers," she chirped "one
of your neighbors, and a sister in the I
church. I thought I.d jes' drop in a I
minute. Seems to me 'tain't,ministeri- I
al fur you to be puttin' down carpets. r
Your wife orter do that."
"My wife has the sick head -ache and
is lying down," I said, as politely as I i
ould with my mouth full of tacks. i
Mrs. Rogers. sniffed, "Guess I'll step
in the bed -room an' sett, then," she said, t
anal as the door was wedged open by a
wad of straw I could not save Mary
Jane, though she was suffering agon-
ies.
"I hope yell like it here, I'm sure,"
she went on, after she had settled her-
self in a -squeaking rocking -chair, "but
I guess you'll find this church's your
match, Dr. Dnbkins sed to me, sez he,
"There ain't no use of preachin' ter

spiritbol growth has long's one deacon
owns a r>althouse an' a distillery to 1
Pontiac, an' another won't speak to any
of his first wife's relations.' It's against
my principles ter gossip, so I don't call
no names, but there's queer folks in
Griggsville, an' ef you should hev a call
to go somewhere you'd better consider
it the finger of Providence a pintin', an'

I groaned in spirit, hut I felt it would
be dangerous to attempt to silence Mrs.
Rogers, so I bit hard on the tacks, an
the talk went on.
"Ef I was you I'd clean out that we
myself. Ef them trustees do they'll d
what they never did—keep a promis
I know 'em like a book."
"But, Mrs. Rogers," I expostnls;te
"they agreed—
"Folks works awful easy with thei
tongues," said Mrs. Rogers, chuckling
"They agreed to fix up complete fu
Dr. Dubkins, an' all he got was 'nough
paint to paint the parlor an' settin'-
room, an' put it on himself. Now as
for that'we1i, the Dabkinses were kind-
er slack, ministers' folks most allers
'are, an' the Dubkins boys dropped a
cat down that well an' she drownded,
an' I never heard of their gettin' on her
out."
Mary Jane's head -ache reached a cli-
max at this paint, and Mrs. Roger's
revelations were postponed ; but from
that time till this not a week passes
that she does not come and tell us
every bit of tittle-tattle she has col-
lected since her last call. Some one
may say, Why do you not silence her
with your manner ? Alas, I might as
well try to lift oar meeting -house. If
I put on a manner, as I often have, she
would not observe it, and since an.
event which I am about to relate I have
quietly endured her talk, but not al-
lowed it to influence ray actions.
It has always beau my habit to wear
ministerial clothes. so that anyone could
tell my profession as far as be could see
me. One day Mrs. Rogers came in
looking very mysterious and asked to
see me alone.
"I know you don't wanter be a stnm-
blin' block," she said, "an'. so I thought
I'd jes' tell yer what folks air stiyin' ;
thet is, some of 'em. They say they
hate ter see a man git on.a long-tailed
coat an' a white nee tie, as ef ter say ter
all creation, 'I'm holy.' They think
that's hypocritical an' sanctimonious."
"But Mrs. Rogers," I cried, distress-
ed, "I have never had a thought about
it, save to observe due decorum."
'I don't say yon leveret, but I
thought I'd jes' tell ye," she replied.
My Sunday coat had long ago taken
on a gloss like satin, and I was about
to buy a new one. To buy two coats
was out of the question, and after much
reflection I purchased one . just like
those worn by Dr. Blinker, Lawyer
Lambkin and other professional ;nen .of
my age, and it made nae look tet; years
younger—so Mary Jane said. I was
invited to preach the next . Sunday at
Grampus Hill, and as their pulpit was
vacant, and they paid a large salary, I
was very anxious to please them...I
preached one of my best sermons—
every parson has them—and acquitted
myself to my own satisfaction ; but
when the pulpit committee paid me
they expressed great regret that one lit-
tle circumstance alone prevented ` them
from giving me a unanimous call.
"May I ask what that is 2" 1 4id.
"Well," said the chairman, coughing
behind his hand, "well, Dr. Biittles,
we're a little old-fashioned, some 6f us,
and some of us would not feel safe to
sit underthe ministration of a man
who is so liberal, if I may so empress
myself, as to preach in a—a—well, in a
bob -tailed coat."
But I soon found. that Mrs. Ricgers
was not the only communicative per -
seen in Griggsville. Professor Snooks,
who taught rhetoric and elocution in
the Griggsville Female Seminary, and
who aspired to be a - poet, brought me
his effusions to read, and not only criti-
cised my sermons and delivery but told
me what other people said about them..
