Peter was aroused hy a knock: ing on the gate of heaven, and upon inquiring who was without received the reply, "George Washington." "What have you done to merit heav- en?" asked the saint. "I helped to establish a grest na- tion," was the modest rejoinder, whereupon the father of his country was invited to enter, A few after a tall, cadav- orous individual presented himself at the pearly gates and requested admis- sion, "Who are you?" asked St. Pe ter. "I am Abraham Lincoln," was the reply. Of course the great eman- cipator was assigned to one of the seats in heaven. After the passing of a few more de- cades there came a terrific hammering upon the golden gate, and St. Peter in much trepidation hastened, to as: certain the cause of the racket. Look- ing timidly out; he saw a pompous imdividual in a rough riders' uniform, and brandishing a big stick. "Who are you?' sasked St. Peter, tremulously, "None | Jour business who I am," cane: the tart reply, "Just tell God {I'm here." ..0 * Macdonald Matters. Macdonald, May 6.--Hev. U. Ww.
