QUITE FAIR.—A loquacious lady witness, whom the op-
posing counsel could not silence, had so long kept him at bay,
that, by way of brow-beating her, be at last exclaimed, " Why,
woman there is brass enough in your face to make a kettle !"
" And sauce enough in yours to fill it," was the rejoinder.
The following curious anecdote is in circulation among our
gossiping townspeople :—The celebrated Dr. Hook, the vicar
of Leeds, attended divine service in the evening at the Galilee
Chapel, in the Cathedral, on Sunday last. Mr. Townsend
was the preacher, and his subject was taken, according to his
usual custom, from the service of the day ; and his text was
the difficult passage in Ephesians, chap. iii., verses 14 to 19,
which he discussed with his usual energy. On Dr. Hook's
opinion being subsequently asked respecting Mr. Townsend's
sermon, he is said to have answered that it was a very fair
sermon, but that the preacher went out of his depths. On
this reply being communicated to one of Mr. Townsend's
clerical friends, " Oh !" he answered, " I am not surprised
at that remark. Nothing is more usual than that Mr.
Townsend should go in his sermons where Dr. Hook could
not follow him." Whether this observation was more corn-
plimentary to Dr. Hook or to Mr. Townsend, we leave to the
judgment of our readcrs.—Durha;:l Advertiser.
PovEaTY.—We always says, " Do not be ashamed of po.-
verty—it is no disgrace ' • " and most truly have we spoken,
poverty is no discrace ; but why do we who preach, treat it
as if it were a pestilence ?—shrink from it—proclaim it—in_
sult it—chastise it—betray it—loath it—abandon it ? We
shame to greet that " shabby looking man, or bow to that
" ill-dressed" woman, because we have not industry to se-
parate the chaff from the wheat, because we are too prone to
honour the garments woven by men's hands r,abtehegrratvletains theh
creature stamped in God's own image—because we want
it o-
ral courage to walk erect in the right path, unless it be
the chosen highway of the great and powerful. i
