A GENTLE REBUKE.-Without wish.
ing to be really impolite, there are
many persons, who fearing to appear
forward suffer the moment for dong
little civilities to pass by until their
remissness is signally rebuked by some
promyt bystander. An instance of this
kind is said to have occurred in New
York, a few Sundays since, in the
church Of an eminent divine who was
at one time settled in Philadelphia,
and who is distinguished alike for his
talent and independence. On the day
to which we refer, while the Rev.
Doctor occupied the pulpit, poor old
woman entered the church and totter-
ed down through the aisle, looking to
The right and left, as if appealing to
The politeness Of some one for a seat.
But no pew door was opened, and hav.
ing got as far as the pulpit, the old Ia
1y hesitated as if about to turn on her
traces. Without an instant's hesita-
ion the Doctor descended from the
pulpit, opened the door Of his own
pew, and having introduced the old Ia
1y into it, he returned to his eminence
