" What keeps oar friend, Farmer B , away from us?" he asked his clerk ; " I have not seen him these three weeks, I hope it is not so- .. cinianisvn that keeps him away." " No, sir," replied the clerk, •* it is something worse.than that." " Worse than socinianism ? God forbid it should be deism !" " No, sir, its worse than that." *' I trust it is not Atheism ?" " No, sir, it is worse than that." V Worse than atheism? 11 11 Yea, sir ; it is* BHBTJMATISM." The preacher heaved a deep sigh of relief, went river to his secretaire, and prodnced a bottle.
