A CLERICAL ANEcDoTE.-The Rev. Dr.
P, of Brookline, belonged to the old
school divines, and while attending to his
usual Sabbath ministrations, managed to
discover who of his congregation were ab
sent, his first duty on Monday morning be,
ing to call on the absentees, and to find out
why they were not at church.
Among those whose places were often va
can't, was one man who cared but little fol
the sanctity of the day, or the reproof Of
the minister.
On taking his usual Monday morning
rounds, Dr. P was sure to visit Mr.
c., as We will call him. Said the good
man:
why were you not at church yester'
dayT
sHad other business to attend to- was
the blunt reply.
sMr. Co. said the clergyman solemnly,
there will be no preaching in hell
well, it won't be for the want of minis.
ters,' was the quick rejoinder.
This was hard cut, and the good old
doctor shook his head, and went on his way,
ruminating, doubtless, upon the doctrine
of total depravity.

He REMEMBERED THE TExT.-A pious
old lady, who was too unwell to attend the
meeting, used tosend her thick-headed hus'
band to church to find out the text the
preacher selected as the foundation of his
discourse. The poor Ounce was rarely for
tunate enough to remember the words Of
the text or even the chapter and verse
where they could be found; but one Sum-
day he ran home in hot haste, and with a
smirk of satisfaction on his face, informed
his wife that he could repeat every word
without missing syllable. The words were
as follows: 'An angel came down from hea-
ven, and took live coal from the altar
know every word,' replied the hus-
band.
Il am anxious to hear it, continued the
wife.
They are nice Words observed the hus-
band.
Il am glad your memory is improving,
but don't keep me in suspense, my dear,
said she. ......
Just get your big bible, and Twill say
the words, for know them by heart. Why,
I said them hundred times on the way
home
well, now, let's hear them
