The Detroit Kvening Jounuil unpremoditatingly gives to the guileless public the following story : Justas Farmer Williams and lus good wlfe Susie were about lo sit down to dinner oue day the early part of the presem week tliey notieed a clerical nppearinugentleuimi enter tbe front gato. Farmer WUMuna ia hu evi-eediugly weü-to do grauger, a little pitst niiddle age, wh(i Uves and owna a goodly nuinber of broad acres in the most fertile portion of Washtenaw cotinty. He h a very deroutchurch inumher and can repeat the ten coiuiuaudmenü and I.ord's prayer from inemorv at a luoment's notice. He is also hospitablc. "Jaw sakes! Husip, who's that?" be exclalmed, as the stranger closed the gate, and witli a sort of religious sorrow spread all over hls ineek and lowly countenanet. slowly picked his way along tlie n.irrow walk toward the front door. "Looks like a proaclier," Susie replied hastily divesting herself of her soiled apron and sraootliing her hair dow In front with bnth tiands. "Jest at dinner timo, too; and no chance to kill a ehicken." By this time the traoffer bad reached the front door aiul was telling "Brother" Williams tliat It was a cool day. Hls white cravat and clerical coat and vest preached a whole sermón on brotherlv love eyery tiuie his arm went np anll down like a putnp-handle u the fanuer's hospitable clasp. Yes, he would come in. lie liad heanl of Jirother Williams, and as he was passing his house just at noon, thonpht h would drop in and ask for a llltle somethltag to eat. Of course he had the beet seat at the dlnner table and the bigo-est huuk of pumpkin pie at the conclusión of the meal. While they lingered around the Uble the stranger proceeded to impart a llttle Information. He had asked grace with a musical iutonation that conlirmed the farmer and hisjgood wife in tlit-ir flrsl opinión. He was certainly a Methodist minister. " Brother Williams," he said, ¦' I aai only a meek and lowly toiler in the vineyard. My misión in lite is spreading the blessed gospel. 1 preach when occasion offers and fill in the time by di. tributing Bibles. I am in the eraploy ol a religious institution which makes a business of furnisiiing the poor with tke blessed word. Ah ! can I trouble yon for my satchel? I would like to makc you a iittle present, In return, for your courtety." 'l'ho honest countenance of Brother William fluslied with gratiiied pJearan he comnlied with the request. "Ah! here is one of the very best Bibles I have with me- gilt edges and all that- and 1 hope you will ahvays keep it to remember me by. Brother Williams was profuse in his thanks and gratitude. "And now, what do I owe you for my dinuer?" tlie god man co:;tinued with ii business-like air. Brother Williams was horrifled. Did the stranger wiah to insult hini? He certainly should never accept a cent for that dinner- not if he died for it. But the stranger was equally finn. HU company requlretl it of him, he saici. Il was a matter of se'f-protection- tlie country was so full of impostor.-. This conquered brother Williams. He accepted a quarter, and the nicck and lowly visitor broughtout a voucher which the farmer receipted Thn the stranger held family worship and deDarted. Thirty days after the visit of the agrei able missionary, Farmer Williams rcceived notlce froin a certain bank wbere he was in the habitof doing business that hls note for $500, properly signrd, ma awaiting payment.
