One Of the characteristics of Mr.. Dan.

Camp-meeting held ct c., there was @
young doctor whom Mr. Dannelly had
known from infancy, who had just re.
turned from Charleston With diploma
as physician. During q service at
which MT. Danueily officisted, the young
doctor did not behave we'll, and the
preacher, true to his instincts, pronounced
in his own wey o scathing rebuke. This
enraged the disciple of E,culapius, who
determined at once to be revepged. Pro.
curing rattan walking cane he ap.
preached the preachers tent whirling
the instrument in his hand, and inquired
at the door for Mr.. Dannelly. He waa
pointed to the bach part OF tho long dark
building to q bed, where the exhausted
preacher lay painting and putting from
extreme heat and fatigue. Approaching
the bedside he demanded in loud and
imperious tone: "Did you mean me, sir,
in the offensive remarks you made from
the pulpit?" The preacher, raioing up
on his elbow, responds with his shrill
voice, now rendered much keener by 8
certain nasal twaug "You, B.. mean
you! Why, if l had little cut tail,
snub.nose fice. and he was to bark at
such a fellow as you, b., would knock
him in the head and kill him. / never
notice such trash rs you, b." B. evapo-
rated.
Mr.. Dannelly had q great dislike to
anything which savored Of pretence, and
usually dealt with it roughly, as the fol.
lowing incident will show:
A certain methodiBt sister, of large
wealth and equal ostentation, had for
three years been very urgent in her in.
vita:i0ns for Mr. Dannelly TO visit her,
and spend some time ut her honse, but
as she lived out OF the line of his usual
travel, he had failed to DO 80. To crafty
the hospitality of the sister, he sent On
appointment to church in the neighbor-
hood, and on Saturday rode 80 40 to
spend the night at her house, but un-
fortunately was taken quite sick on the
way, but finally reached the place quito
indisposed. The lady came out with
unusual demonstrations of hospitality,
e1claiming an abe approached, "Alight
aud come in, dear Brother Dannelly. l
am 80 glad to see you! Come in." His
only response was: "I'm sick. I'm sick.
l want nothing but bed"
"Yes, Brother Dannelly, you shall
have bod. Come in this room and
make yourself as comfortable az possible,
and will go out and attend 70 few
household duties"
The sick preacher WAS aoon in bed,
when his acute ears caught the following,
uttered in loud whisper: "You lazy
heifer, why do you not hurry Don't
you know that Mr.. Dannelly is here, and
nothing done? ?" She takes her exit to
the yard, but is soon back in the Same
adjoining room, when the same loud
whisper arrests the preachers ear: "Why
don't you hurry up, you black wretch.
tell you Dannelly 10 here. Ifyou don't
hurry I'll break your head" Out again
she goes. After a while she returns.
Hurry up, say, black devil; old Dan
nelly is here, and l can't get you to do
aingle thing"
Next morning the preacher is better
The elaborately silver-mounted carriage
stands beside the rickety old buggy, and

gregation in large. The pious hostess,
spleadidIy attired, sits Immediately in
front of the pulpit. The preacher an
his text The heart Of man is
deceitful above all things, and desperately
wicked who can know it?"
The speaker, as was his wont, having
read his text, pauscs and looks all over
the congregation. '"The prophet must
have meant women as we'll 40 men," Then
he makes one of his emphatic grunts and
long pauses. "Now here sits before me
sister L., who, for the past three years,
has been urging me to come and see her,
/ sent this appointment, and got there
yesterday sick. She WAS delighted to see
me-called me dear brother Darnelly. l
told her was sick, and needed nothing
but bed. She then, in hurTying up the
servant, called me Brother Dannelly. In
the couree of the evening, irritated with
the slow movements of the servant, she
abused her and asked her if ehe did not
know that Mr. Dannelly was there.
Still more excited: she said Ddnnelly :;
and finally, in rage, said Old Dannelly,
and at the same time calling her black
devil. First / was dear Brother DanneIIy,
then Brother Dannelly, then Mr.. Dan.
nelly, then Dannelly, and finally Old
Dannelly." The preacher continued
"I'd rathe. Be s stray mound without an
owner and running round ct night to get
my living, and nave an honest heart,
than to glitter in gold, satin, aud silks
With such hypocrisy." The hospitable
sister wilted under the rebuke.
At camp.meetiDg at B., o young
sprig of lawyer failing to observe the
proprieties of the occasion, was publicly
reproved by Mr.. Dannelly, and deter
mined at once to raise quarrel with him
90 as to get q chance TO ''cuss" the
preacher, as he expressed it. 80, going
up to him an he limped out of the pulpit,
said in loud and angry tone: "Come
outside of these tents, sir, and will
give you the best whipping Jou ever
had" The old parson stretched out
his neck, and giving his shoulders
peculiar shake, said, his voice rendered
more shrilI and nasal for the occasion {:
"My nanny hasn't licked me for forty
years, and do you think that am such
o fool as to take tho trouble to 60 behind
the tent to get one nowP I wouldn't go
for two" And limping of, leh his az.
sailant speechless.
At Cokesbury there was quite reli.
gious interest manifested among the stu.
dents. Al this time there was largo
number from abroad in attendance upon
the Cokesbury Manual Labor School.
Several had presented themselves for
prayer, and few professed religion.
Mr.. Dannelly, who lived at Lowudesville,
was sent for 70 assist ut the meeting. It
was Saturday night the house was
crowded, and an intense interest marked
.he faces of all present. The preacher
snnouuced his text, and made q long
pause, looked around and began thus !:
