A certain lady was one day much annoyed by the ringing of her door-bell by the mischievous boys m the vicinity and determined to be made-, no more a fool of by going to the door. In the course of the afternoon, however her minister called to see her, dressed m his nicest manner. Ho ascended the steps and gently drew the bell handle, when the lady shouted from the entry, 'I see you. inj' lad ! If I ea'tchyou, fw- wring your neck."
