A MISTAKE.
A minister was once preaching at a little chapel on the subject of "giving." During the sermon his heart was rejoiced by the tact that a member of tiie congregation went to the side ot" the chapel and placed a coin in thR box, and a little later another did the same. Surely, the minister thought, my sermons hare never met with so practical a i espouse before. On leaving lie was accoet.d Pby oue of the bietbreu, who said: "I hope we didn't disturb yon, sir, but ours is a penuy-iu-the-slot meter, and we should have beau in darkness if we hadn't attended to it.
