Preaching from Notes.

A certain minister of Scotland
had custom of writing the heads
of a discourse on small slips OF
paper, which he placed on the
Bible before him, to be used IN
succession. One day when he was
explaining the second head, he got
80 excited in his discourse, that he
caused the ensuing slip to fall over
the edge of the pulpit, though un-
perceived by himself.
On reaching the end of his sec.
ond head, he looked for tho third
slip; but, alas it was not to be
found. "Thlrdly," he cried, look
ing around with great anxiety,
After a little pause, "ThirdIy,
again he exclaimed; but still nc
thirdly appeared. "Thirdly, | say,
my brethren pursued the bewil
dered clergyman but not another
word could he utter. At this point,
while the congregation were partly
sympathizing in his distress, and
partly rejoicing in such a decisive
instance of the improperly of us
ing notes in preaching-which has
always been an unpopular thing in
the Scotch clergy, an old woman
rose up and thus addressed the
preacher: "If Pm not mista'en,
saw thirdly flee out at the east
window a quarter of an hour syne.'

A Story of 10 Jefferson.

When jefferson was playing his
famous part of Rip Van Winkle
during an engagement at st. Louis
he one night went to the theatre

years nap. Five, ten minutes
elapsed, but he did not awake.
The audience grew impatient. AT
length the gallery waxed uprOar.
ious and yelled their delight at one
of them inquiring eff there was
going TO be nineteen years more
of this sleeping business" Still
Jefferson slept on and actually
snored. Opening a small trapdoor
beneath the stage the prompter
prOdded Rip from below, only to
see him tumble IN his pocket for an
imaginary railway ticket and hear
him mutter, SGoing clear through,

down the house.
