ember of the Society of Frienris was lately travelling
bebetween Darlington and Leeds, in one of the stage-coaches, lie
Ppened to fell in company with an infidel, who made no scruple
of Publicly declaring his impious principles, and proclaiming the
Bible to be a tissue of incOngruities. The Quaker took all this
very calmly, and asked what the' Bible contained that was so
.verY ridiculous. The infidel, in answer, said that no man "of
sense could believe that a stone thrown at a man could sink into
his heed and kill him—alluding to David and Goliah. The
Tea:ark drew from the Quaker this laconic rply, "
Liflroliah's head had been as soft as thine, le see not wherewould
-44'e been the difficulty !"
A. reverend Clergyman, not twenty miles from Perth, while
latelyt on a course of visits to the members of his congrega-
livedl°u, to make shorter work of it, called a few of those who
in the vicinity of one another into one house. Before
.I.9eeedin.' to exhortation, he exercised his vocation as a cate-
Adc4ust, mane other questions he put the following to

one of his flock:.—" Are all transgressions

one or the other, deserves to be kicked out of the creation."

to the charitable visitor to kiss.
this V GREAT LORD MANSFIELD.—A literary friend of

disturbed the peace of this quiet city for a
