AN APT REPLY.

Aclergyman wss once travelling on board oi
10 Western steiner, when among the passen-
gers was a man who took great pains to make
known that he was opposed to religion de.
nouncing Christ as an imPoster. and all forms
OF religion as delusion. He was man oil
ability and education, and great wit. and his
remarks seemed to have quite an influence
on his hearers. The clergyman refrained
from saying anything for time, but finally
decided to silence him. Asking the skeptic

he received an answer:

"Then. sir" replied the clergyman. shave
heard of you before"
"Heard of me? whsre2"

hnrrah, at the expense Of the atheist, who,
COMPOUNDED and being unable to rally, at being
thus unexpectedly called fool, moved away
to another part Of the boat. During the re-
mainder of the voyage, the wisacre was silent

Of the passengers would tease him BY slyly
observing:
