The minister having said five huodred dollars would be required, avery wealthy and equally stingy member ef the church roe: aid said he would give one dollar. Just as he eat down, however, a lamp of plaster fell from the eeiliog aod hit him on the head, whereupon he rose up hastily and called out that he bad made a mistake, be would give fifty dollars.
