Presently, huwovr, a poor Samaritan Sa-maritan came by, and taking pity on tho wounded man's plight, holped him on his mule nnd took him to an Inn, where ho ordered food nnd drink and raiment for the man, directing tho Innkeeper to send the bill to him. "And dls am a truo story, broth'ren," concluded the preached; "for de Inn nm standln' dero yet, and In da do'wny am standln' do skel'ton ob de Innkeeper, xvaltln' fer de Good Samaritan Sa-maritan to come back an' pay do bill."
