AN ECCLESIASTICAL SYMBOL—A lady with
whom we have the honour to be acquainted, found some Ma-
-1 catty a short time ago is keeping her countenance in the
presence of a stately rector, who, having espiained to her the
symbolic teaching of the tridental parts of his church, led her
outside the door of the porch, and celled sheathe to • does
head, with a huge iron ring hangirg from its mouth, whisk
served u a knocker. " What may this teach r *lured
the lady. "Without are dogs," was the reply.—London

behaviour was diecreet towards strangers; but imprudent
in her family. Abroad her conduct me Infinenoedmil
good breeding; but at home by ill temper."
so the epitaph runs en to considerable length, achnow-
ledging tbe good qualities of the poor women, but trilling
each by setting against It some peculiarly =amiable trait. I
edam that my feeling is quite turned in her favour by the
isaaaly w which her brother (the author c f the in-
' scelptlon) lug thus made upon the poor dead woman. If
yen cannot honestly say good of • human Wag on hie
gravestone, then say nothing at all.—.Fluser's Magnums
