ANEcpoTE OF DR.. WEBSTER, A Scorer MIN
lister lie I774, Dr.. Webster Was II popu-
Jar preacher Of the Kirk Of Scotland. IN
Edinburgh. Business brought Linn to Lon
don, and one day, when passing the House
Of Lords, his curiosity induced him to make
an effort to step 10 and see them. Nome
were admitted without an order, except no.
blemeu's servants. Webster being ignorant
OF the rule, requested sduittance.
"What lord DO you belong to-" said the
doorkeeper.
40 the Lord Jehovah" replied Webster.
The Lord jehovah" repeated the keeper,
al have kept here seven years, but hevenev'
err heard of snch a lord; Jack" said he to bis
fellow-keeper on the front steps, "bere's d
chap who says he belongs to Lord Jehovah;
don't you know such u lord?"
"Neyer heard OF him." says Jack.
"But," says Webster, (willing to keep up
the Illusion, 'there is such a lord"
"Pass'em IN" said Jack, 81 s'pose it's SOM
poor Scotch lord"
This occurred at a period when there was
not one in twenty Of all the manufacturing
and rural districts in England, who conid
read the Bible or write bis " name. Sab
bath schools were introduced in 1888. Now
the people are intelligent and happy, and can
not only read and write, but have found out
who the Lord Jehovah" is.-Grant Ihor-

ONE OF THE BOYS.

Neigbbor T--bad a social party at his
house a few evenings since, and the "dear
boy" Charles, a fVc.year old colt, was favor
ed with permission to be seen in tho parior.
"Pa" is somewhat proud of his boy, and
Charles was of course, deliberately gotten up
for So great On occasion. Among other extras
the little fellows hair was treated 10 a liber-
oil supply of eau de cologne, to his huge gra-
tlfcation. As be entered the parlor, and
made his bow to the ladies and gentleman.
"Lookee here" said he, proudly, iii any of
YOU smells q smell. that's me-"
The effect was decided, and Charles, hav-
ing thus in one brief sentence delivered an
illustrative essay on human vanity, was the
hero of the evening.
