A Religous Fish.

A short time ago, my host Stewart, of the Denton Hotel, purchased a rock fish weighing about sixty pounds. Upon opening it he found in it a certificate of membership of the Methodist Episcopal Church, which is as follows:

Member

Methodist E. Church,

Founded A. D. 1784.
Quarterly Ticket, 18

Our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory.

The paper was of course in a crumbled and wet condition, but upon exposing it to the sun, and ironing the kinks out of it, it became quite legible.
