The venerable Dr. Smith was preaching to
his rural charge one of the warmest of last
summer's nights, and.. while._lie_iss_waxing
warmer in hie diecourso, ho observed'also that
ono of the largo lamps at his hand was waning
and ready to expire., Just as he discovered it
he was exclaiming iu reference to the imprac
ticability of escape from the law. e . Which
way shall he turn!" and saying that, he 'pus
out his hand to give the lamp a turn to brigh
ten up the dying luininary, but 'an officious
deacon near the pulpit seeing that he - was
turning the wrong way,- and would have it
out in a minute, cried out—" Turn to the right.
Dootor turn to the right!" The sudden an
swor to the pastor's question put him out
completely, and the lamp at the same time.
