An Obstinate Organ.—ln a small church at a little village near Brighton, where the congregation could not afford to pay an organist, they recently; bought a self-acting organ, a compact instrument, well suited to the purpose, and constructed to play forty different tunes. The sexton had instructions how to set it going, and how to stop it, but unfortunately he forgot the latter part of his business, and,after singing the first four verses of a hymn, before the sermon, the organ could not be stopped, and it continued playing two verses more : then, just as the clergyman completed the words " Let us pray," the organ clicked and started a fresh tune. The minister sat it out patiently, and then renewed his introductory words "Let us pray," when click went the organ again, and started off on another tune. The sexton and others continued their exertions to find out the spring, but no man could put a stop to it; so they got four of the strongest men in the church to shoulder the perverse instrument, and" they carried it down the centre aisle oi the church, playingj away, into the churchyard, where it continued clicking and playing away. /.
