I am above petty theft. I know that you all have the interest of the community at heart, and I do not blame you ; but there are times when we are all liable to be too rash. If I had stolen the mule, my guilt would oppress me until f would bglo be put out of the world in the most summary way." "The mule was found in your poses sion," said the leader of the mob. "Very true, my dear sir." "Did he jump into your lot ?" "No, sir, I conducted him to the confines of my premises." "Did you buy the animal ?" "No, sir." "Did you trade hint?'' "I did not." "Then who stole him ? Is't down the rope, boys." "Gentleman, I hope you will give me a chance to explain. The mule in question was tho property of one of our distinguished fellow citizens, Maj. Bugle sherry. Borne time ago the j Major and I exchanged a few words of an uncomplimentary nature. I in timated that the Major's blood would be highly satisfactory to me, and the Major said that mv gore would please him mightily. Well, we sepaiated thoroughly agreeing with each other. The next day the Major nn<l I met, I got what is vugararly called the drop ou him, and relieved him of the top of his bend. He was riding a mule at the time, and vhen he fell off I saw that he had no practical use for the animal, so I took charge of him. Now, it' I had dismounted in the way he did, I should have interposed no objection to the Major taking my horse." "I hope, sir, that you will excne us," replied the leader of the molt. "We thought that you stole the mule. ( Your explanation is most sai-fn< t iry, and I hope you'll excuse us. Let us all take a drink." "ARE you still a member of the Temple liabtist Church?" she answered, "but it'* very j pokey, and I'm getting awfully tired of it.'' "Tired of it! You surprise me." "Do I. Then you can't imagine what ; it is. In Mrs.Sprawl's church they're trying the clergyman for bigamy ; at Mrs. Chiszletoa's there's a jolly row among the deacons ; Mr. Jorkios tells tue a big scandal is brewing in their j congregation, and unless something exciting hap|ens in our church pretty i soon I know I shall have to attend di vine services somewhere else."—l'fk'f San.
