estechising Jeffrey, the Reviewer.

From late number of ETGser's Magazine,
we copy the following anecdote Of Lord JEFF
.rey -
was amused by a story heari Of SIM
ple-minded country parson. whose parish lay
upon the Firth Of C!yd2, and so became grad
uay overspread with fashionable villas, TO
which families from Edinburgh and Glasgow
rcSorted in summer aud autimu. This wor-
thy man persisted in exercising the same spiri-
tull jurisdiction over these new comerS, which
he had been wont 20 exercise over his rustic
parishioners before their arrival. And in par
ticular, in his pastoral viSitations, he insisted
on examining the lady ard gentleman Of the
ho:se in the ''Shorter Ca:cchsm," in the pre-
sence of their chil,lfeh and servants. Il hap
pencil; one auttiihh; that the late Lord Jeffrey
after the rising Of the Court of Sessions, came
to spend the long vacation in the parish Of
L. Soon after his arrival, Che minister
intimatcd from the pulpit that upon a certain
day he would hold diet ef catcchising' in
the district which included the dwelling Of
the eminent Judge True to his time, he ap-
pearei at Lord Jelfrcy's house, and requested
that the entire establishment might be collect
ell. This was readily d,rie; for almost all
Scotch clefstiiien, though the catechsing pro-
cess las become obsolete, still visit each house
in the parish once n year. and collect the fami-
ly to listen to freside lecture But what
was Lord Jefrey's consternation, when the
the entire household being assembled in the
drawing-room, the worthy minister said, in a
solemn voice, ''Ny lord, always begin my
examinati51 with the head Of the family. Will
You tell me, then, What is effectual calling ? 4"
Never was an Edinburgh reviewer more
thoroughly nonpluse,!. After pause, during
which the servant looked on in horror at the
thought that a Judge should rot know his
catechisrn, his lordship recovered speech, and
answered the question In terms which Gotus
plr.ely dumfIunded the miulstef--

In an article OF our last issIle we recon-
mended dancing as a substitute for prUmiScu-
oals kissing in social parties. For this, the
Rev. Mr. lnman, in public sermon, has al
ministered very severe reproof. He takes
the ground that dancing is inseparable from
drunkenness and quarreling, aud that although
the mere act OF dancing i no more sinful than
the raising and letting fail u his arm, in pub
lie speaking, YET, the practice sliJald be abol-
ished on account Of ITS Indispensable acc"m-
