A MINISTER'S WALK AND CoNvERsArIoN-
The Editor Of the N. G. Presbyterian, who Is at
the Virginia Springs, has heard a 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 public room
Of the hotel. They had been sitting with other
company, and after While the Dr. rose and
walked across the room with the usual limp in his
gait. Mr.. Orr immediately recognized him, and
asked If he were not the Chaplain at the Univer-
sity Of Virginia ut such time, naming the year
The DR.. replied that he was" was there, -
said Mr. Orr, ga student at the University,
and knew you by your limp" Well, said
the Dr., lit seems my hmping made deeper
impression on you than my preaching" The
jDke placed Mr.. Orr in an awkward predica.
to extricate themselves but no replied with
ready wit: "Ah, Dr., II is the highest compii-
ment we can pay q minister to say he is known
by his tcalk rather than by his conversation

~ In the early days of Pennsylvania there
was law which stated as follows: "That IL
any white female, OF ten years or upward, should
church, court house, tavern, ballroom. theatre.
or any other place Of public resort, with naked
shoulders, "a. g., low-necked dresses,) being
able toPurchase necessary clothing, shall forfeit
and pay fne, not less then one nor more than
two hundred dollars" The closing paragraph
Of the law, however, permitted women Of aues-
tionable character TO bare their shoulders, as q
badge Of distinction between the chaste and
unchaste.

CAUGHT ON THE JURr.-The following, which
we have heard told as fact, some time ago,
may be beneficial to some gentleman who has a
young uns Ispecting wife:
A certain man, who lived about ten miles
from K, was in the habit of going to town
about once week and getting on a regular
spree, and would not return until he had time
to ''cool of, !" which was generally two or three
days. His wife was ignorant of the cause of
ms staying out 30 long, and suffered greatly
from anxiety about his welfare. When he would
return, Of course his confding wife would in
quire what had been the matter with him. and
the invariable reply was, "that he was caught
on the jury and couldn't get OFF,
Having gathered his corn and placed it in a
large heap, he, according to custom, determined
to call in his neighbors and have q real corn
shucking frolic. So he gave Ned, faithful
servant, jug and an order to 20 to town, and
get gallon Of whisky very necessary arti-
Gle on such occasions. Ned mounted a mule
and was soon in town, and, equipped with the
whisky, remounted to set of for home all buoy
AIT with the prospect Of fun at "shucking"
When he bad proceeded a few hundred yards
from town he concluded to try the "stuff," and
not satisfied with once be kept trying until the
world turned round 60 fast that he turned off

was getting old and must soon die, and that she
had nothing to give him for waiting on her son
save the old family Bible. He gladly received
il, and brought it TO Tennessee with him on
horseback. He told me that he would not tax q
three thousand dollars for il. The gentlema n
