Iii I one of the larger towns, of Vorcester County, Mass., jused to live a clergyman, whom we will call Ride well. He was of the Baptist persuasion, and very rigid in his ideas of fnoral proprietyj He had in his employ an old -negro, named Pompey, and if this latter individual was not so.strict in his morals as his master, he was at least very cun ning, arid passed in the reverend household forja pattern of propriety. Pomp was auseful servant, and the old clergyman never hesitated to trust jhim with the most important business. j Now it so happened that there were, dwelling in and about the town, sundry individuals, who had not the fear of the dreadful penal ties which Mr, Ride well preached ihfnit.1 hetoie tfeeir eves, fori it was :" j " " the wont of these people to "ate TnY Sabbah evenings level piece of $id in the outskirts of the town, aud there race j horses. This spot was hidden from view by Li dense piece of woods, and lor tong while the Sunday evening race. w ere carried on there without delec on bv the officers, or o hers who robt'.- avt! stopped litem, j 1 that the urood I o cougre upon a rifd " 7 1 "-...-; , .... . - !., i course ot wickedness he followed up for two months, making his appear ance upon the raeing-ground every Sunday &flernooriv as soon as he coulcl aftt-r "meeting was pttt." Afcd during this jtime Pom pey was . not the ouly one who had learned to love the racinpr. No, for old.Mor tcan himself ! Had come to love the excitement of the thing, too, and his very motion when upon the track showed how zealously he entered into the spirit of the game. But these things were not always to remain in secret. One Sunday a pious ti-eacon beheld this racing from a distance, and straightway went to the parson with the alarm ing intelligence. The Rev. IMr. Ridewell was utterly shocked. hHis moral feelings were outraged, and he resolved at once to put a stop to the wickedness. During the. week he made;imany inquiries, and he learned that this" thing had been practised all j summer on e very Sab bath afternoon. He bade his parish ioners keep. quiet; and he told them that on, the next Sunday he, would make his Appearance on" the very spot and caUA them in their deeds of iniquity. On the following Sabbath, after dinner. Mr. Ridewell ordered Pomp to bring up old Morgan anJ put him in the stable. The order was obeyed, though not without many misgivings on the part of the faith ful negro. As soon as the after noon services were closed, the two deacons aud some others of the members of the cburch,accompanied the minister home, with their horses. "It is. the most fragrant piece o abomination that ever came to my know ledW" said the indignant 0 , clergyman as they rode on. "It is, most assuredly,." answered one" ot the deacons.

Here he found some dozen horses assembled and the racing was abowt to, commence. Pomp mounted his beast and at the signal he started, did Morgan entered into the' spirit of the thing, and came out two lods ahead of everything So Pomp Won quite a pile, and before dark he was Well initiated in horse-racingl j Pomp succeeded in getting home without: exciting any suspicions, and he now longed for thq Sabbath after noon to come, for he was deter mined to try itj again. He did go aain, aiid again he won and this land against them. O that my own should be desecrated thus !" for it '- . . t ' -o ' coition ' oi his; own was iiiuwcu fa.m. 1 AsV the good clergyman thin 'Who-oa ! who-pa-oa J." cried jhe parson at the top of.his voice. ; "By the powers old fellow, you're a keen one !" shouted one ot the wicked men, who had thus far man aged to keep close, by the side of the i.arsoh.s " YTou ride well." . "VVhofho-ho-o -o ! who-pa-oa-oa !" yelled the clergymail, tugging at the reins with all hs might. " But was all of no avail. Old 31orgau had now reached ahead of all competitors, and he came yup to the judged stand three rods ahead, where the petrified deacons .were standing with eyes; and mouths wide open. . r j ' . ' uDon't stop,' cried the judge, w:ho hkd noW: ;recognized Parson Rider well, and suspected his business, and who also saw 'into the secret of old Morgan joining the race. "Don't stop," he shouted again ; "it is a two- mile heat this time. : Keep right on parson. Yrou are 'good for another mile. jSow you go arid off- u is These last words were J of course known to the horse, and .- no sooner did Morgan hear them than he stuck his nose again, and again started off. The parson did his best, to stop the bewitched animal, but it could hot , be done. The more he struggled arid yel ltd, the faster the horse went, and ere many moments he was again at the starting point, where Morgan now; stopped of his own accord. There; was' a hurried whispering among the wicked ones nnd n. succession of verv. curious . ; j , . winks and knowing nods seemed to indioato that they understood. "Upon my soul, parson," said the leader of the abomination, approach in"-"the spot where the minister etil sat in his saddle, he having not suffi ciently recovered his presence of mind to-dismount, "you ride well. Ve had not4 looked for this honor:'' "Honor, sir !"; gasped Ridewell, looliing blankly into the speaker's "Av for 'tis an honor. -You are j the first clergyman .who has ever joined us in our Sabbath evening entertainments. ' . "I I, sir ! 1 joined you?" ; "Ha, ha, ha1. Oh, you did it" well ! Your good deaeonsjthink you really tried to stop your horse, but I saw through it; "I 'saw how slily you put your hoise up : But I don't blame you for'feeling proud of old Morgan, for I should feel so myself it I owned l im. But you need not fear ; I will tell all who may ask me about it that you did your best to stop the beast : for I would . rather . stretch the truth a little than have such a good jockey, as you are suffer." This had been spoken so loudly that, the deacons had : heard every wrd'. and the parson was bewil- dered;'buthe soon came to him self, and with a flashing eye, cried :J "Villians. what mean, you? Why or shpok their heads in doubt. 1 "It's very strange," said one, "Very," answered a second. ' " Remarkable," suggested a thirdu- j' un my soul, Drethren," spoke Ridewell, "I cahV make it out." The brethren looked at each other, aftd the deacons shook '..their. . heaxte 'I , s. ? f ; ... in a very, solemn and impressive manner. . .:.;'- ' f - - So the party rode back; to the clergyman's house, but none of the brethren would enter, ( norf would they stop at all.. Before ilonday had.drawn to a close, it was gener ally known that Parson Ridevell deed his hoise on the Sabbath, and ! meetincr .of the church was ap- pointed for Thursday. Poor Ridewell Was almpst crazv with vexation ; but before Thursday cambj Pompey found out how mat ters stood, and he assured his master . - ' . : 'l ft that' he would' clear the matter up ; and after a day's search he discov-1 ered the astounding fact tHat some of those wicked, men had fbeen in NJi GOODS !

' -So Parson Ridbwell was cleared, bat it was a long while before he got over the blow; for many were the wicked wags who delighted to pes- him by offering to "ride a race h him," to "bet on his Bead," or "put him against the world ou a race. put iviuewen his heart ' crew warmer, and finally ' ... .1 . 9 .

"And off. it V . i ' And the word for starting was eriven.

When we heard that you had determined -to try if your horse could not beat lis ail, we agreed among ourselves that if you came we Would "let you in. -AYe have done so, and you havse won the race in a two-mile heat. !Now let that satisfy you.1 By the ho key, you did it well.

As the wretch thus spoke, he turned his horse's head, and before the astounded preacher couljd utter a wordl'the "whole party haji ridden away out of hearing. ! it was some time before one of. the church men could speak. .
