Hail Heard the Clergyman.
A hard featured man dressed in a
tew suit of very cheap black called at
the house of a well known clergyman,
arid upon giving his name was invited
to tako a seat in the gentleman's stndy.
"I have a few days to spend in town,"
Raid the visitor, "and I did not want to
leave without calling and paying tny
respects to you. I have heard you preach
many a time."
"Yes," said the parson, beginning to
tako au interest in the visitor.
"II e your preaching, and though I
do not belong to your church, yet I muKt
av vou preach tho best btriiion I tiver
heard. "
"Yes," said the parson.
"There are so very few good preach
ers now, very few in whose uprightness
wo can place trust, that when we meet
one of the right kind we like to express
our appreciation."
"Yes, "the good man repeated, and as
the bell tinkled he rose and said, "Come,
my friend, and take eome lunch with
me. "
The visitor was only too happy, and,
seated at the table, began to oat with
an avidity that attracted the host's at
tention. "You eay that you have heard me
preach many a time, ' 'remarked the min
ister. "Oh, yes," the man replied, convey
ing an ample allowance of mashed po
tatoes into his mouth.
"I don't ever remember seeing you at
my church. I suppose you have heard
me in the country?"'
"No," said the visitor, helping him
self to beans, "not in the country."
"Certainly not in town:"
"Well, soiteryes and sorter not. Yon
know, you preached at the prison for
some time. I was there for stealing a
horse and cart and finished my time to
day. Thank you for the bread." Lon

He Mistrusted His Sex.
A Durham miner, aged 73, visited a
Newcastle lawyer, a bachelor, for the
purpose of making his will. The old
man's property consisted of two small
cottages, which had cost him 1S0, and
a little furniture.
Tho lawyer having asked his client
how he wished to dispose of his prop
erty, the latter replied: "11a auld wom
an hes to hev all se lang as she's ma
widdow. Efter that ma bairns gets all."
"What age is your old woman?" ask
ed the lawyer.
"Seventy-two," replied the miner.
"And how long have you and your
wife been married?" asked the lawyer.
"Over 50 years." replied the miner.
Thereupon the lawyer suggested to his
client that he should give the wife the
interest during her life whether she con
tinued a widow or otherwise.
"Hinney, aa winnot. Aa'll hev ma
aan way," said the miner.
"But surely," replied the lawyer,
"you don't expect your old woman, now
72 years old, would marry again after'
your death?"
The miner, looking the lawyer full
in the face, answered with much so
lemnity, "Wey, hinney, thor's nae knaa
