Waited For "amen."

The dog oí a clergyman in Yorkshire had certain religious instincts, and when he saw the books brought aut for evening prayer retired to his corner. One evening they vvere brought out while bewas gnawing a bone. Iustinctively he dropped it and withdrew. The cat, being a pagan and caruivorous, took possession of the bone. The dog glowered at her, but budged not an inch. Scarcely had the last "amen" sounded ■when he made one spring. The fute of that cat I have not words to describe. -
