A MINISTER'S WALK AND CONVERSATION.
The editor of The North Carolina Presbyte-
rian, who is at the Virginia Springs, has
heard good story Of Speaker Orr and the
Rev DR.. W, of Lexington. Not long
since, the story goes, they were both at the
Warm Springs, and met in the public room
ofthe hotel They had been sitting with
other company, and after a while the Doctor
rose ana walked across the room, with the
usual limp of his gait. Mr.. Orr immedi-
ately recognized him, and asked him il. he
was not the Chaplain at the University of
Virginia at snch time, naming the year.
The Doctor replied that he was
II was there" said Mr.. Orr, ga student
at the University, and knew you BY your
limp"
"Wen," said the Doctor, eft seems my
limping made a deeper impression on you
than my preaching" 4.
The joke placed Mr.. Orr in an awkward
predicament, and most men would have been
unable to extricate themselves, but he re-
piled with ready wit
s''Ah Doctor, it is the highest compliment
we can pay minister to say that he is
known by his walk rather than BY his con-
yersation."

Truth.

Truth is brilliant star, whose lucid ray
Illumines clearly all on which it shines,
For the inquiring soul points out the way,
And leads the mind to that for which 1t
pines,
BY its pure light all error is dispclpd,
The judgment can assume its proper sway,
And prejudice and passion by it quelled,
Unto their sovereign, Reason homage pay,
When all created things to ruin fall,
And Time itself at length shall cease to be,
Immortal Truth shall then surviving all,
Blooming, live on throughout eternity.
For why? Truth is part Of God,
And hence we know that it can never die,
But flourishing in verdure, like the Rod
Of Aaron, it will bloom beyond the sky.

EN' A professional juryman at Troy, N.

his own ofmaking it pay. He finds out the
name Of every party and attorney that has a
case to be tried. He waits upon them indi-
viduallyand blandly requests the loan of a lit
tie money. AS an assurance of his ability to
repay it, he advises the parties that " be is on
the jury, and will return the loan when the
Court breaks up" People anxious to secure

good investment if never paid.

SENsE.-A rough common sense pervades
the following, in which there is certainly
more truth than poetry:
UreaU men never swell. 1t is only
three cent individuals who are salaried al
the rate of two hundred dollars year and
dine on potatoes and dried herring, who put
On airs and fashy waistcoats, swell, puff,
blow, and endeayor to give themselves a
consequential appearance. No discrimina-
ting person can ever mistake the spurious
for the genuine article. The difference be-
tween the two is as great as that between a
bottle of vinegar and a bottle Of the pure
juice of the grape.
