MISCELLANY.

ANEoDoTE OF DIR. JOHN BRowN.-When
John Brown, ID. d., first settled in Haddington,
Scotland, the people Of his parish gave him q
warm reception ;only one off the members oil
that large church and congregation stood out
in opposition to him. The reverend doctor
tried-al the means in his power to convert the
solitary dissenter to unity of feeling but all his
efforts TO obtain an interview proved abortlve.
As Providence directed however, they hap
pened one day to meet in the street, when the
doctor held out his hand saying" My broth
err, / understand you are opposed to my set
ting at Haddington." " Yes sir" replied the
parishioner. Well, and lift be fair question,
on what grounds do you object to me ?" Be-
cause sir" quoth he, :" don't think you are
qualified to I'll so eminent post" "That is
Just my opinion" replied the doctor; "but sir,
what is the use of you and me setting up our
opinions in opposition to whole parish?'
The brother smiled, and their friendship was
sealed forever. A soft answer turns away
wrath.

ABOUT BRUsHEs.-A paragraph is going
the rounds stating that General Grant 1.-THE
hero of Vicksburg) never carries any baggage
for his own benefit excepting toothbrush.
The subject being under discussion at tea
table at Rochester, says the Democrat, a
doubt was expressed as to the reliability OF the
assertion. A gentleman suggested that the
General evidently intended to scour the face
of the country. A lady rejoined thath meant
to fly in the teeth of the enemy ; but the eli
macteric, observation was to the effect that he
only wanted a little brush with the rebels
