T H E D R E S S E D T U R K E Y . One o f the parish: sent o n epiom — - A. farmer kmd and able— A nice fat turkey, raised on corn, •To grace the pastor’s tables The farmer’s lad went with the fowl, • And thus addressed the pastor:... s ‘‘Dear me, if. I ain’t tired!' Here is] A gobbler from my master. ’ ? The pastor said: *Thou ‘ shouldst not thus Present the fowl to me.; Come, take my chair, and for me act, . And I will act for thee.’* The preacher’s chair received the boy, . The fowl the pastor took— W ent out with it and then came in. • With pleasant smile and look. ■ - ■ A n d t o k i s y o u n g p r o te r n , h e sa i d ; . • . ‘ \Dear sir, m y honored master Presents this turkey^ and his best . Eespects to you* his pastor.” hCood!” said the boy-; “your master is A gentleman and scholar! ■ Ity thanks to him, and.for yourself. • ' Here is a half a-dollar 1” . .. • The pastor felt around-his mouth A most peculiar twitching: ■ And to tho-gobbler holding fast,. - He ‘‘bolted” for the kitchen, He gave, the -.turkey to the cook, . And eame back in a. minute, Then took the youngster’s hand and left .: A lialf a dollar in it.
