John Knox's CourtshIp.

John Knox, before the light of the
Reformation broke up, travelled among
several honest families in the west OF
Scotland, who were converts TO the
Protestant religion. Particularly he
visited oft Lord Ochiltree's family,
preaching the Gospel privately to those
who were willing to receive it. The
lady and some of her family were con-
verts. Her ladyship had chamber,
table, stool and candle-stick for the
prophet, and one night about supper
time said to him: "Mr. Knox, 1 think
you are at loss by want OF wife,"
To which he said: MADAM, think no
body viii take such q wanderer as l."
To which she replied; "Sir, II that be
your objection, viii make an inquiry
to find an answer against our next meet
ing" The lady accordingly addressed
herself to her eldest daughter, telling
her how she might be very happy If she
could marry Mr.. Knox, who would be q
great reformer and a credit to the
church, but she .despised the proposal,
hoping that her ladyship wished her
better than to marry a poor wanderer.
The lady addressed the second daugh-
ter, who answered as the eldest. Then
the lady spoke to the third daughter,
about nineteen years of age, who very
family said: s.Madam, I'll be very
willing to marry him. but fear hen
not take me-" To which the lady re-
piled; IF that be all your objection I'll
soon get you answer" Next night at
supper the lady said: "Sir, hsve been
considering upon q wife for you, and i
find one very willing" To which Knox
inquired: '.Who is it, MADAME" She
answered: my youngest daughter, sit
ting by your side at the table,"
Then, addressing himself to the young
lady, he said: my bird, are you willing
to marry mep" she answered: "Yes,
sir; only fear you will not be willing
to take me-" He said: "My bird, IL you
be willing to take me, you must take
your venture of Gods providence as 1
do. go through the country some
times on foot, with wallet on my arm
and Bible in it. You may put some
things in for yourself, and II bid you

concluded. She went with him to
Geneva. And as he was ascending q
hill she got up to the top of it before
him, and took the wallet on her
arm, and sitting down. said: ..Now,

ing dinner to his company, and toward
the end of the dessert Brasseur said to
Lheritier; "I'll lay you wager that I'll
disguise myself so completely that no.
body here shall be able to recognize me
not even you;" on which he slipped
out of the room. Five minutes later
coffee was served. The waiter who
poured it out-a bic young fellow, with
black whiskers, thick eyebrows, crispy
curling hair, and the bronzed com
plexion of a Southerner-hurried no
doubt by the quality of the assembled
guests, committed clumsiness on clum-
siness, upsetting liquor-glass here, q
cup there, and finished by sending a
great splash of scalding Mecca on the
shirt.front of the amphitryon. A storm
of reprobation was raised. "Donkev !
Imbecile! Cretin!n "Can't you mind
what you are about?" ''Blunder- head |!
Brute! Oyster!" The unfortunate waiter
excused himself as well as he could with
strong Marsellaise accent. The Incl
dent was forgotten and the conversation
resumed. But after few minutes, as
If not knowing what he was doing, the
offender took up lump of sugar be-
tween his finger and thumb and dipped
it in Lheritier's cup of coffee. The lat
ter sprang to his feet enraged, seized the
insolent waiter by the collar and pushed
him toward the door. But, with the
turn of hand, the other whipped off
his wig and whiskers, and cried: "Sold,
old comrade! Admit that you have lost
the wager !"-The Theatre.
