HEAVE-OFFERING.
Some years ago the clergyman of; tlie parish, accompanied by his staunch ally the clerk, called on a quukor on clerical business. They found 'him about to sit down to dinner, and'presented their demand. " Oh, I see, it is for the Easter offering as thou terms it. Well, wilt thee walk in friend and take a bit of dinner V The invitation whs gladly accepted. After dinner they partook of a glass of genuine home-brewed, and a pipe of excellent returns; but when all was over; 'arid they were about to separate, the gentlemen of the black robe reminded, their kind entertainer once more of the Easter offering, To which Obadiah somewhat dryly replied, "Friend, I have given thee a meat-offering, a drink-offering, and a burnt-offeriiig'; and if thou art not speedily gone; I will verily be tempted to give ■ thee a heave-offering."
