NOT AN ANGEL.
The Bey Mr H. waa a good man— that is, as good as a tobacco-chewer can be— but rough in his ways. One day he was caught in a shower in Illinois, and going to a rude cabin near by, he knocked at the door. A sharp-looking old dame answered his summons, and he asked for shelter. "I don't know you," she replied suspiciously. " Hemember the Soriptures," he replied ; "be j not, forgetful to entertain strangers, for i thereby some have entertained angels unawares." •' You need not say that," quickly responded the other ; "no angel would come down here with a big quid of tobacoo in big j mouth." She shut the door in his faoe, , leaving the good man to the meroy of the rain and his own reflections.
