WHAT FINNIE SAIp.-It is related of
that excellent but eccentric man, Finney,
the revivalist, that once when he was
young man, he was led to express his
views concerning mans depravity in TIE
following singular manner. In those
days the good old Dutch people of his
village were in the habit of holding a
weekly prayer meeting in the school house.
which, not being supplied with any avail
able lamps, they used to illuminate it with
candles or lanterns, which they brought
in with them. On the occasion to which
we refer, Finney, who, by the way, was
their chorister, and therefore an indis-
pensable adjunct-had sat for long time
listening to the lamentations of the old
deAcons over their own utterly shocking
deprayity, when suddenly rising and
snatching up his light, he began to fling
his long limbs over tie benches, in the
direction of the door.
This of course did not suit the deacons,
who exclaimed, ''stay with us, brother
Finney, we want to have some more sing
ing before we separate, why do you leave
so suddenly e. ~
"W eli, answered our hero. "if you
are such a set of wretches as you pro-
claim yourselves, have no desire to keep
your company"

strange shifting Of places when that day
does come-much shrinking and wincing
from the general Show-up-much scarlet
shame, and livid remorse when the brow
can no more be covered nor the Past un-

A PORTRAIT OF SIR CHARLES NAPIER.
An English paper uses rather free pencil
in the following sketch:
"a farmer-looing man, with a fat face.
thick lips, and tremendous nose covered
with snuff; large ears, like two flaps of
saddle, and like "Uncle Ned" in lyric
history, with no wool to speak of on the
top of his head, although his phrenologi-
cal developments display an extentive
head placed on the body of stunted al
derman, whose clothes appear to have
been pitchforked on his back, with one
shirt collar up and the other down, his
waistcoat buttoned awry, and his shirt
front smeared with snuff-and you have
the portrait of Sir Charles Napier"
