rHn pREAcHER's REPLY.

A German paper contains reply
from Clergyman who was travel
ing, and who stopped at hotel
much frequensed BY what are term-
ed s.drummers." The host, not be-
ing used to have clergymen at his
table, looked at him with surprise
the clerks used all their artillery Of
wit upon him, without eliciling . re-
mark in seIf-defense. The worthy
Clergyman ate his dinner quietly
apparently without observing the
gibes and sneers Of his neighbors.
One of them at last in despair at his
forbearance, said to him:
.'Well, wonder at your patience
Have you not heard all that has
been said against you n
"Oh, yes, but ! am used IL il.

TIE MIsERrEs OF sELF-TMPo r.
TANCE

Observe how self-importance
makes man moody and unhappy.
tie who is always thinking of his own
excellences renders himself thereby
unfit To enjoy the good Of others,
and is prone to imagine that every
token Of affection given to another
is an insult offered to himself. -
Hence he is ,ouchy, sensitive, irri-
table and envious. lie takes of
Tense when none is meaot, and even
when those around him are not
thinking OF him at all he interprcts
their conduct as if il were studiously
discourteous, and goes through the
world smarting from wounds which
have sprung not 50 much from neg
lect of others as from his own over,
weening self conceit. There is no
surer way TO make ourselves misera-
BILE than to think of ourselves more
highly than we ought to think 1t
isolates us from all about us. 1t
cuts us off alike from human sympa
thy and divine assistance. It
makes us very Ishmaels, with our
hands against every man and every
mans hands apparently against us
1t gives a jaundiced hue to the be
havior of those who, so far from
meaning to do evil to us, have our
best interests at heart, and love US
with self>sacrihcing affection. The
man who has wound about him. no
matter where it may be. feels it to
be always in his way. Let him do
what he will, or go where he may,
he cannot move himself bat he is
conscience Of its pain. In like man
ner, he who has this feeling of self
importance is continually smarting.
Somebody has always been slight
ing him. He is constantly com
planning Of having been insulted,
aud when honor is given to another
he feels nothing but that he has
been overlooked Thus he shuts
himself out from every festival, and
mopes most of all when others are
merry. May God deliver US from
this idolatry of self, on whose altar
all true nobleness and real happiness
are completely Inundated !-Reo.
