. 'S A Dream. . One Sunday night I had a dream, And it was very queer, 'Twas of a class in Sunday School, And '05 was the year. The Deacon asked the questions, For answers none did fail, The lesson was that well-learned theme Of 'f Jonah and the whale. H A large fish swallowed J onah, ff lvhat fish was it ? asked he 5 ff Professor Moore, please tell us now, Did whales infest that sea? Professor answered straightway from His geographic lore, H It may have been a whale, I think, I've thought of that before. Miss Warren raised this argument,- ff To f faze' I do not wish, But let me tell you now, my friends, A wlmle is not ajishf' 'f That fact is not Siglltffflllt In our discussion here, The Deacon said, 'f So let it go 1 lVe'll drop it for this year. Professor Moore ohjection 1'aised, H But surely, we ought notg For if we skip that point, you know, We'll hrea.k the line of thought. Miss Dodge then straightened matters out. lt seems to me, said she, We should consider Iiihle truths ' l'on which we can agree. H Yes ! said Miss Deane, ff Now 1et's go on And speak of Jonahls fateg But first, please, Deacon, may I ask, Do you know what was the date ? Miss Goldsmith said, '4Let's put that by, Till more time we can findg I really think I need to know The state of J onah's mind. H lVe've lost the rhythm and the rhyme, And can do nothing wellfi Miss Baker said, ff For all I see, We'll have to rest a spell. H Miss Rogers, read the passage, please l The Deacon here exclaimed, H For you express the thought so well It need not be explainedf' Assent was given by Miss Learoydg f' With all of this confusion, We've spent the time that we can spare, And still reached no conclusion. Then Dr. Beckwith did confess In his own concise way, ff I cannot help you out of this, But Mr. Whitney may. The jolly artist gave consent 5 And soon he did contrive To draw a fish so very real They thought it was alive. No more discussion did perplex The lJeacon's placid mind, For all his class had fled away, To safer refuge find. The-superintendent struck the hell : The room to order called, A nd than I walked with wond'ring gasp, 'Twas-Mr. Archihald l 'io1r2.' Bliss Marlin was not a mvmln-r of this somewhat'extraordinary class. She was detained at the library to seo that Mmm Ileckwith kept her ac-counts accurately and in good order. 22
