were both at the Warm Springs, and met in
public room of the hotel They had been
sitting with other company, and after a while
the Doctor rose and walked across the room
with the usual limp in his gate Mr.. Orr
Immediately recognized him, and asked if he
were not the Chaplain at the University OF
Virginia at such time, naming the year.
The Doctor replied that he was. II was
there said Mr., Orr, "a student, at the Uni

"Well, said the Doctor, sit seems my limp
ing made deeper impression on you than my
preaching The joke placed Mr. Orr in an
awkward predicament, and most men would
have been unable to eXtricate themselves, but
he replied with ready wit: "Ah, Doctor. it
is the highest compliment we can pay a min
lister to say that he is known by his walk
rather than by his conversation.

was either taciturn or satrical. Butler was
sullon or biting. Gray seldom talked or smil-

eloquent in public addresses, was meagre and
dull in colloqual discourse. Virgil was hea-

heavy, coarse, and stupid he could not speak

dull, his humor saturnine and reserved Cor
nellie in conversation was so insipid that he
never failed in wearying he did not even

such master. Ben johnson used to sit ST.

company with his intimate friends, but in
mixed company he preserved his dignity by
stiff and reserved silence. Fox in CONVERSE

THE HEART OF WoMAN.-There is some
thing very delightful in turning from the I'M
quietness and agitation, the fever, the ambi-
ton, the harsh and worldly realities Of man
character, to the gentle and deep recesses of
woman's more secret heart Within her mus

to which the things Of this turbid and trou-
bled life have no entrance. What to her are
the changes Of state, the rivalres and conten-
tons which form the staple Of our existence
For her there is an intense and fond philoso-
ply, before whose eye substances fit and fade
like shadows, and shadows grow slowly into

is still, and busy when earth's laborers are at
