THE OLD BLACK BULL.
OLD JOHN BULKLL'Y (grandson
ot tlio once 1:1111011.4 President
Chnuiicey), was a minister of tlie Gospel,
nnd one of tlio best educated men of his
day in tlie Wooden Nutmeg State, when
the immortal (or ouht to be) Jonathan
Trumbull was " round," nnd in bis youth.
Mr. IJulkley was the lirst settled min
ister in the town of his adoption, Col
chester Conn. It was with him us af
terward with grind old Bro. Jonathan
jovcrnor 1 ruiiibull the bosom friend ot
Jeneral Washington good to confer on
lmost any matter, scientific, political, oi
religious any subject, in short, wherein
common sense and general good to all
concerned was the issue. As a philosoph
ical reasoner, casuist, and good counselor,
he was " looked to," nnd abided by.
It so fell out that a congregation in
Mr. Bulkley's vicinity got to loggerLeads,
and were upon the apex of 'raising the
evil one," instead of a spire to their
church, as they proposed, and split upoti.
The very nearest they could come to a
mutual cessation ot hostilities was to ap
point n committee of three to wait on Mr.
Uulklcy, state their ease, get, laui to ad
judicate. They waited on the old gentle
man, nnd lie listened with great attention
to their conflicting grievances.
It appears to me," said the old gen
tleman, ' that this is a very simplecase
trifling thing to cause you so much vex-
ition."
So I say says one of the committee.
1 don't call it a trifling case, Mr.
IJulkley," said another.
" .No Case at till, responded t lie third.
'' It ain't, eh '(" fiercely answered the
first speaker.
" .No, it am t, sir I quite as savagely
replied the third.
It is anything but a trilltngcase, any
how," echoed ii limber two, " to expect to
raise a minister's salary and that new
steeple, too, out of our small congrega
tion."
" There is no danger of raising much
out of you, anyhow, Mr. Johnson," spitc-
lully returned number one.
" Gentlemen, n you please beseech
ingly interposed the sage.
I did not come here, Mr. IJulkley, to
quarrel," said one.
" V ho started tins f sarcastically an
swered iMr. Johnson.
" Not me, anyway," number three re
plied. ' You don't say I did, do you ?" Eays
number one.
" Gentlemen gentlemen !"
" Yes, Mr. IJulkley," says Johnson,
" and there's old Winkles, too, and hero's
Deacon Potter, also.
" 1 am here, stiffly replied the deacon
" and I am sorry tlie Key. iMr. lulkley
finds me in such company, sir.
"Aow, gentlemen, brothers, it voii
please," said Mr. Bulkley, " this is ridic
ulous!" " So I say," murmured Mr. Winkles
" As far as you are concerned, it is ri
diculous," said the deacon.
This brought Mr. Winkles up stand
ing. "Sir," ho shouted, "sir. !"
" But my dear sirs" beseechingly said
the philosopher.
"Nr! continued n mkles, " sir, 1 am
too old a man, to good a Christian, Mr
Bulkley to allow a man, a mean, despica
ble toad like Deacon i'otter
" Do you call me a despicable toad?"
menacingly cried the deacon.
"Brethren," said Mr. IJulkley, "if
am to counsel in your diilercnce, I must
have no more of this unehristiaulikc
bickering."
" 1 do not wish to bicker," said John
son.
" Nor I don't want to sir," said the
deacon, " but when a man calls me a toad
a mean, despicable toad"
" Well, never mind," said Mr. IJulkley
" you are too much excited now ; go home
again and wait patiently; on Suuday
evening next 1 will have prepared and
sent to you a written opinion ol your
case, with a full and lreo avowel ot most
wholesome advice lor preserving ycur
church from desolation and yourselves
from despair." And the eommitteo left
to await his issue.
Now it chanced that Mr. IJulkley had
a small farm, some distanco from the
town of Colchester, aud found it necessa
ry, tlie same day lie wrote- tlio opinion
and advice to the brethren of the disaf
fected church, to drop a line to his farmer
regarding the fixtures of said estate
Having written a long and of course elab
orate "essay to ins brethren, no wound
up the day's literary exertions with adis
paten to the larmcr, and alter a reverie
t ) himself he directs tlio two documents
and the next moment despatches them
but by a mis-direction, sends each to its
wrong destination.
On Saturday evening a full ind anx
ious nyuod of the belligerent churchman
took place in their tabernacle, nnd puct
ually. as promised, came a dispatch from
the Plato of the time and place Rev.
John IJulkley.
All was quiet and respectful attention.
The Moderator took up tho document and
broke tho seal open, and- a pause ensued,
while dubious amazement seemed to
spread over the feature of the worthy
President of the meeting.
"Well, Brother Temple, how is-it
what docs ,Wr. IJulkley say ?" and anoth
er pause followed.
" AVill the Moderator please proceed '"
said another voice.
The Moderator placed the paper on the
table, took oil ins spectacles, wiped Hie
lasses, then his lips replaced his specs
pon Jus nose, and with a very broad
rin, said :
" Brethren, this appears to me to be a
very singular letter, to say the least ol it.
Well, road it read it, responded the
wondering hearers.
" I will." The Moderator began :
"You will see to the repair of the fen
ces, that they be built up high nnd strong,
and you will take special cure of tho old
black bull !"
'There was a general pause ; a silent
mystery overspread 1 he community; the
Moderator dropped the piper to a "rest,
nd gazed over the top ol Ins glasses for
several minutes, nobody saying a word.
" Bepair the fences," muttered the
Moderator, at length.
1 Build them strong and

ch
ocd Deacon Potter.
"Take special care of the old
black
bull !" growled half the meeting.
I hen another pause ensued, and each
man eyed Ins neighbor in mule m ystery.
A tall and venerable man arose from
his scat; cleaving his voice with a hem,
lie spoke :
" Brethren, you seem lost in the brief
nd eloquent words of your learned advi
ser, lo me nothing could bo more ap
propriate to our ease. It is just such a
profound and applicable reply to us as wc
hould have hoped and looked for from
the learned and good man, John IJulkley.
The direction to repair the fences is to
take heed in the admission and govern
ment of our members; we must guard
the church by our Maker's laws, and keep
out stray and vicious cattle from the fold.
And, above all things, set a trustworthy
md vigilant watch over that old black
bull, who is the devil, and who has al
ready broken into our enclosures and
sought to desolate find lay waste the
grounds of our church."
The effect of this interpretation was
electrical. All saw and took the force of
Mr. Buckley's cogent advice, and unani
mously resolved to be governed by it :
hence the old black bull was put horn
hi
combat, and the church preserved
union.
The effect produced on the farmer
the communication intended for
the
church is not stated, but it it is fair
to
suppose that he was somewhat mystified.
Mchcniit All.
A rather hard story is told of Mchcni
it Ali, which illustrates his nice sense of
justice. Making a tour to his provinces,
in great state and with a cavalry guard,
he was stopped by an old woman, who
threw herself at his feet. " Your high
ness," savs she, "one of your soldiers
las bought some milk of mo forsix paras,
and won't pay me."
" Why, won't vou pay fcer?" demand
ed Mehcniit Ali of the soldier.
" Master," says he, " this woman lies
She has sold me no milk, and I owo her
nothing."
" You swear by Allah that you speak
the truth V said the Pacha, to the wo
man. " Yes, I swear it."
" And vou as well?" said ho to the
soldier.
Yes, I swear it."
" Very well," said the Pacha. Then
turning to lus guard, ho added with per
fect composuro " lake this man and
open his stomach."
The Pacha's orders wero obeyed, and
the milk found. The soldier hud just
drank it.
"Tho woman is right," said Mehcmit
Ali, remounting his horse; "let her have
the six paras that are duo her." And
ho continued his journey

scour the woods lias abandoned tho job
owing to tho high prieo of Boap. Tho
last that was heard of her sho was skim

Fishing for a Dog.
fTTM were travelling on ground
we
T t had no right on. The only cx-
cuse was like that of a military necessity
it was far better fishing through the
farms where the trout had been preserv
ed, than in open lots where all could fish.
It was early in the morning. We had
risen at three, ridden ten miles and struck
the creek as the trout were ready for
breakfast. Looking carefully for a shel
tered place to hitch our horses, wc slyly
crept on behind fences, etc., till wc reach
ed the part of the stream not generally
fished. A farm house stood not a quar
ter of a mile away. AVe saw the morn
ing smoke curling lightly from a stove
pipe; saw a man and two boys como out
to do chores ; saw a woman busy about
the door, and a ferocious bull-dog wander
ing about the yard.
If ever wc fished close it was then.
Not a whisper to disturb the birds or
the owners of the land. We crawled
through the grass and dodged behind
clumps of alders, lilting large speckled
beauties out of the water until our bas
kets were full.
This was the time to have gone ; but
the trout were so large and bit so readily
that we decided to string and hide what
we had, and take another basketful. So
at it wo went. No sooner would the hook
touch the water than it had a trout. We
forgot the house, the man, the boys and
the dog. Suddenly there was a rushing
through an oat-field as if a mad bull was
coming. We looked toward the house,
and saw the farmer and his two boys on
the fence, the woman in the door, and the
dog bounding toward us. We saw it all
wc had been discovered ! The well-
trained dog had been sent to hunt us out,
and as the matter appeared it was safe to
bet that he was doing that thing right
lively.
To outrun the dog was not to be thought
of. There was no time to lose, lie clear
ed the fence aud came for us, just as wc
reached a tree, and by great activity took
a front seat on a limb above his reach
Here was a precious go ! A vicious bull
dog under the tree, and the farmer and

Then spoke this ugly farmer man :

We .surmised trouble; quite too much.
for thriflc had that bold man of bull-dogs
and agriculture elegantly walloped inno
cent tourists for being seen on his subur-
in premises. 1 1 is reputation as a peace
man was not good, and there arose a large
heart toward our throat.
Time is the essence of contracts, and
the saving ordinance of those in trouble.
We had a stout line in our pocket and a
largo hook intended for rock buss, if we
failed to take trout. And as good luck
would have it we had got a nice sand
wich and a piece of boiled corn-beef in
our other pocket.
We called the dog pet names, but it
was no go. llien we tried to move down
when he moved up ! At last we trebled
our bass line, fastened the limerick to it,
baited it with corn beef, tied tho end of
the line to a limb, and angled for the
dog !
i'igo was in appetite. Ho swallowed
it, and sat his eyes on us lor more ; but
with no friendly look beaming from his
countenance. Not any !
Then he pulled gently on the line it
was fast 1 Tige yanked and pulled, but
'twas of no use !
Wo quickly slid down the tree almost
blistering our back doing it seined our
polo, and straightway weut thence some
what lively.
Wc found our string of fish, and reach
ed tho buggy and a commanding spot in
the road in time to see the sturdy yeoman
move forth.
Wo saw hint and his cohorts, and fe
male, move slowly, as if in no haste. We
saw them look up tho treo. We saw an
anxious crowd engaged about tho dog.
Wo came miickly homo and kindly left
the bass Hue and hook to tho farmer.

SUNDAY HEADING.
Keep It Before the Mind.
That faith is what saved the sinners.
" Thy faith hath saved thee." " Be'
lieve on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou
shalt be saved." Works are commanded.
They must be done. No Christian can
live without them. But it is faith that
justifies, secures pardon of sin and ac
ceptance with God. It is the arm that
leans upon God, it is the stair with it
foot upon the Bock of ages that support
their feeble limbs. Faith nerves us for
battle. It graspB the sword of the Spirit
which is tho Word of God, and strikes
valiantly at the foe. It wields dextriously
our shield for protection against all the
grey darts of the wicked, u a word,
faith in its broad sense is the whole of
religion, as it is all pervading principle.
and secures all the rest. W hat must I
do for pardon of my sins ? Believe on the
Lord Jesus Christ. What must I do to
be accepted of God '("Believe on the Lord
Jesus Christ. How shall I get strength
for duty and trials ? Believe on Christ.
How shall 1 get rid ot my corruptions?
Believe on Christ. How shall I get wis
dom to know my duty ? Believe on
Christ. Trust, trmt, tkust, is the sum
and substance of the whole word of God.
"Thou God Seest Mc."
One day as the astronomer Mitchell was
engaged in making observations on the
sun, and as it descended towards the ho
rizon, just as it was setting, there came
into the rays uf the teletope the top of a
hill -seven miles away. On the top of the
hill was a large number of apple trees
and in one of tlicin were two boys stealing
apples. One was getting the apples, and
one was watching to make certain that
nobody saw them, feeling certain that
they were undiscovered. But there sat
Prof. Mitchell, seven miles away, with
the great eye of his telescope diiectcd
fully upon them, seeing every movement
they made as plainly as if ho had been
under the tree with them.
So it is often with men. Because they
do not sec the eye which watches with a
sleepless vigilance, they think they arc
not seen. But the eye of Gud is upon them
and not an action can be concealed. If
man can penetrate with the searching eye
which science constituted for his use
the wide realm of the material he ivens,
shall not lie who sitteth upon their cir
cuit be able to know all that transpired
upon the earth, which He has made the
resting place of liis feet.
5" Tho Bible will not be less, but
rather more prized by our occasionally
turning it to open another and equally
divine volume, and read some pages of
the book of Nature. Both are good books
and both are God's books : and He only
looks on this great world aright, who,
valueing it for something more valuable
than the gold men draw from its rockr
bowels, the flocks it pastures, the fich
freights borne on its wave, and tho har
vests that wave on its fields, behold there.
as in a glorious mirror, the wisdom and
power of God his goodness shines in
every sunbeam and falls in every shower.

Courago will most generally come
to us with the occasion. As when at sea
we behold with dread a mountain wave
bearing down upon our bark, threatening
to overwhelm it, but those strong bow
meet it bravely and bear it safely over.
So in contemplating tho approach of afflic
tions and misfortunes, the heart will some
times despair; but when the shock comes
it will find itself sustained by an inward
adaptation to meet it.
Our greatest blessings olten arise from
the disappointment of our most anxious
hopes and our most ferveut wishes. D.
