Practice and Prea ching Both.


A clergyman, who was captain of a
little squadron stationed in the Mediter-
ranean for five years. related the follow
ing interesting anecdote, which occurred
during that time:
The commodore was frank and gen.
erous man, who treated me with marked
attention. and used to preach in all the
ships but one. This was small frigate,
and its captain was an irreligious and
profane man. He used to say he want
ed no Methodist parson for the pilot,
and he embraced every opportunity of
annoying me. Being person Of violent
temper, he took offence. and insulted the
commodore, who meant to send him
home. When heard of his intention,
/ waited on the commodore, and said
wao come to ask particular favor Of
him.

happy to oblige you. What is it?
THAT you will overlook the conduct
Of Captain S. said I.
Nay, nay; you can't be serious. Is
ne not your greatest enemy? and | be-

not wish to see you on board his ship.
That's the very reason why l ask the
favor, commodore; | must practice as
we'll as preach
well. WE'LL It's an odd whim; but,
if on reflection, can grant your request
