How FALSE REPORTS Mar ORIoiNArE.
A curious illustration Of this is found in
an anccdote told in lecture by Mr.. Spur.
geon, entitled, "Sermons on Candles" "
A minister in America lived opposite one
of the dcacons Of his church. A report
got abroad that the minister had been seen
to beat his wife. and tho matter was
brought before deacons' meeting. There
the minister said he had traced the spread
ing of the report to the dcacons daughter.
The good man, the deacon, said he would
not have spoken. but his daughters name
having been mentioned, he must then state
that when ho was going to bed on Ger.
tain night he did see Through The window.
blind Of the lighted room) the minister
heating his wife, and heard her scream.
The minister, was non.plussed but he
requested that his wife might be sent for
and questioned. When she arrived she ex.
planned the whole matter. She said, Don't
you rccolIect there was rat in the room
that night, that 1t got up on my dress, that
you got frightened, and took up the poker ;
that could not stand still, and ran round
the room, You running after me with the
poker. THIS is the explanation Of the
whole affair."" Well, then, he tthe lectur.
er) would remark to his hearers, the next
time they heard story against a good man,
let them say Mt once, "rherc is a rat at the
bottom of 1t, know" and that some sim.
pie explanation may account for the whole
thing.
