An Exchange OF Courtesies.

A story is told Of an exchange of
courtesy between a Scotch minister and
his parishioner, which Is Characteristic
of both. The minister was introduced
into a country living, and, in his round
of parochial visits, called at the cottage
OF a little tailor. Taking seat unin-
vited, he proceeded to talk, but found it
hard work, as he met with no response.
The tailor sat upon the table, stitching
in sulky silence. At length he spoke.
Sir, he said, 81 regard it rs an I'M
warrantable intrusion your entering my
house, and l ask you In wha5 capacity
you come ?" "My good man." was the
reply, 81 come as your parish clergy
man-it is my duty to know all my
parishioners. l know you don't attend
church, but that is no reason why we
should not be friends. To which the
tailor responded Il dinna regard ye

of Satan if ye come as a gentleman,

to receive you, which could hardly be
called courteous, but the talors polite
ness was outriyaied BY his minister's.
