PI'nn this aIan.Y

The Synod of Kentucky was in ses-
sion. The subject Of raising the salaries
of certain professors was under discus.
sion. The Rev R. J Breckinridge, D.
D., was on the floor, making speech
in opposition to the measure. 1t has
been said that ministers Of high stand
ing and large means, clothed in fine
linen, and iaring sumptously every day,
did not sympathize with those whose.
salaries were small. To this DR..
Breckenridge was replying He scout.
ed the idea that ministers live tor mon.-
ey, or desire the luxuries of the world.
As for himself, he ch lllenged any man
to say that he lived more frugally than
himself. Drawing himself up to his
full hight, aud standing six feet high at
least, he displayed his proportions, and
exclaimed
''As to fine men, ifthere is a man on
this floor who dresses more plainly
than | do, | offer to exchange clothes
with him this moment"
Directly in front Of the Moderator,
and in sight of most Of the members,
sat the Rev. II. Hopkins, one Of the
planting clergymen-a short, thick-set,
and rotund brother, whose circumfer-
ence exceeded his altitude, and in this
respect no man in the house presented
SO strong a contrast with the tall and
courtly Kentuckian. But the propo-
sition TO swap clothes had hardly es-
capped the lips of the speaker before
Hopkins wriggIed himself out OF his
seat, and on his feet cried out
4 "Mr. Moderator, I'm this man."
Tho effect was instantaneous and
tremendous The image of Breckin'
ridge with his long arms and legs pro-
truding from Hopkins toggery, was
up before the eyes of the Synod. They
could see nothing else, think OF no.
thing else and for a while they gave
, away to uncontrolled laughter, in
which no one Joined so heartily as th'
, discounted speaker.
