COMPLIMENTS OF THE DOMINIES.
Many years ago, when Father Rogers, the pioneer clergyman of Franklin county, was pastor at Farmington, Rev. Simson Hackett ministered to the church at Temple. Parson Rogers' voice was strong, his manner quick, brusque and hearty. One Sabbath afternoon these two had exchanged and met on their way home. ‘ Ab, Brother Hackett,’ said Parson Rogers, ‘ I've given your people a good waking up.’ ‘ Then lam your debtor.' replied Parson Hackett in his peculiar thin, mild weak tone. ‘ for I found your congregation had indulged in sleep so long that they could not be roused.’
SHE : ‘ I don't like a front seat. I can't see the other women's hats.’ He : ‘ But we can see the stage ; that’s something.’
