MErHoD.-A lady was complimenting a
clergyman on the fact that she could al
ways recollect and recite more Of the mat
ter of his sermons than those OF any other
minister she was in the habit of hearing
She could not account for this; but she
thought the fact was worthy Of observation.
The reverend gentleman remarked that he
thought he could explain the cause. "l
happen" he said, " to make a particular
point Of classifying my toplcs--lt is hob
by OF mine TO do so; and therefore | never
compose a sermon without first settling the
relationship and order Of my arguments and
illustrations. Suppose, madam, that your
servant was starting for town, and you
were obliged hastily TO instruct her about a
few domestic purchases, not having time
TO write down the items; and suppose you
said " Be sure TO bring some tea, and also
some soap, and coffee too, by the by; and
some powder-blue and don't forget few
light cakes, and little starch, and some
sugar; aud, now | think Of it, soda-you
would not be surprised if her memory fail
ed with regard TO one or two of the arti-
cles." But if your commission ran thus /:
!" Now, Mary, tomorrow we are going to
have some friends to tea, therefore bring a
supply Of tea and coffee, and sugar and
light cakes; and the next day, you know,
is washing-day, so that we shall want soap,
and starch, and soda, and powder-blue
it is most likely she would retain your or
der as easily as you retain my sermon. p
