One day he saw a tra-up corning towards the house, and, without waiting to hear what the man had to say, called out : •'Go away, I have nothing ta give you !" " I beg your pardon, gover or," said the tramp ;" I didn't ask you for anything, I only called to warn yon that it is going to rain, and to advise jou to take your church indoors out of the rctt ! "
