A GREAT SUCCESS.
—* — Before the collection was taken up at a negro place of worship, the preacher announced that a certain brother had retired to rest the night before without locking the door of his fowlhouse, and he regretted to state that in the morning most of his chickens had vanished. “I don’t want to be personal,” he added ; “but I hab my suspicions as to who stole dem chickens. If I’m right in dose suspicions, dat man won’t put any money in de box which will now be. passed round.” There was a fine collection, not a single member of the congregation feigning sleep. “Now, brederon,” continued the minister, “1 don’t want all yoah dinners spoilt by wondering where dat brother lives who stole dem chickens. Dat brother doesn’t exist, mail friends ; he was a parable fob. de purpose ob finance.”
