" Joe, I do wish you would go and split gome wood. Hero it is nearly two o'clook, and the fire isn't modo." Joe went to cxccute liis conimission, but fearing his phyxioul condiliou was weak, marched to tho ncighboring tuvern to fortify bimself therein. He returued home utterly oblivious to all these thiogs, savo his pet thenries. Seating Limself on hiachair, lio said: "I say (hic) Jane, do you (hio) think the Lord (hic) nioans to buru us all (hie) up in fire?" Hiu venerable spouso, buing cxoeedingly irato, did not unswer. Again he repcated the qucstioa. Still an omoious silence. "Wife, do you think the Lord rueane toburn us up íd fire everlasting?" "No !" iiid tho thoroughly aroused housewife; "uo, you oíd loo!, not it He waits for you to split the wood."
