took the greater prominence in the projecting
Of the extra meetings, and have maintained
the same all through. The Methodists feel
that it is unfair and undesirable to be accredi-
ted with the monopoly of this movement.

THE STUPID WITNESS.

There is point beyond which human for
bearance cannot go, and the most even of
tempers will become rullled ut times. At
the assizes held during the past year Mt Iii n
coin, England, both judge and counsel had
had much trouble to mako the timid wit
nesses upon trial speak suili GENTLY loud to
be heard by tho jury, and it is possible tina
the temper of the counsel may thereby have
been turned aside from the even tenor of its
way. After this gentleman had gone
through the various stages of the bar plead
ing, and had coaXed, threatened and oven
bullied witnesses, there was called into the
box young ostler, who appeared to be sim
plicity personilied'
"Now, sir" said the counsel, in a tone he
would ut any other time have denounced ms
vulgarly loud, 81 hope we shall have no dif-
ficulty in making you speak up"
81 hope not sirp' was shouted, or rather
beloved, out by the Witness in tones which
almost shook the building, and would have
certainly alarmed any timid or nervous
lady.
GLOW dare you speaL in that way, sirP"
said the counsel
"PIense EUR, | can't speak any louder,
zur,n said the astonishod witness, attempt
ing to shout louder than before, evidently
thinking the fault to be his speaking too soft
ly.
"Pray, have you been drinking this morn
ingp" shouted tho counsel, who had now
thoroughly lost the last remnant OF his tenn
per-
"Yes, zur," was the reply,
"And what have you been drinking|
"Corfee, CUR"
"And what did you have in your coffee,
sirPn shouted the oxasperated counsel.
"a spoon, eur" was the answer, innocent
ly spoken, amid the roars of the whole court
excepting only the now thoroughly wild
counsel, who flung down his brief and rush
ed out of the court.
