HE WANTED ADVICE.
An exemplary minister of the Gospel residing at Raleigh was busy at his sermon the other evening, when a caller came to disturb him. He waf a stranger, and he said hit name was Dolsocker. He extended his hand for a shake, sat down as if in his own house, and presently, began : "I called to Bee if you would give me a little spiritual adWce ?" " Certainly I will, and be glad to," was the reply. " Are you a professor ?" "No." " Then you are thinking of turning your feet into good paths, I hope 1" " Well, perhaps," was the hesitating reply. " Don't you want to be a Christian?" asked the good man. " I'll tell you how it is," said the stranger, after quite a lengthy interval. " I've got a ticket in a lottery, and I wanted to ask you if you thought it would stand any better chance of striking the big prize if I was sort o' good than it would if I kept on being sort o' bad ?" The clergyman didn't labor with Mr. Dolsocker very long.— Raleigh Sentinel.
