A worthy old clergyman in a neigh
boring town is very absent minded, and
has short memory. 1t is a common
habit with him in the sermon to forget
something, and then, after sitting down,
to rise up again, and begin his supple
mentary remarks, with the express
sion, by the way" A few Sun
days ago he got half way through
a prayer, when he hesitated, forgot
what he was about and sat down
abruptly without closing. In moment
or two he rose, and, pointing his fore
finger at the amazed congregation, he
said, /" oh, by the way-Amen"
