EDITOR THE DIAMOND DRILL,
DEAR SIR:--I have before me a copy OF

Senator Doran, February 10, 1891.

How the Dominic Rebuked an over
Frank Parishioner.
There is Unitarian clergyman who is
not without power of keen retort, and
who is none the less gifted with the
grace to command his tongue rather
than allow his tongue to command him,
says the Boston Courier. He has in his
congregation one of those women who
make pretense Of frankness an excuse
for rudeness, and who are given to
Boosting that they are plain-spoken
when the truth is that they are simply
ill-bred and insolent. This especial lady
is wealthy, and there are not many in
the list Of her acQnaintances who dare
rebuke her, albeit they do together con-
sole each other for the wounds they
suffer from her tongue by abusing her
roundly.
1t CHANGED that one evening the lady
and the clergyman were partners at whist
at the house of q common friend and so
successful were they that they won al
most every game for the evening. Like
people who are fond Of having their
own way the lady was in high humor
over this success, and when the play
was over she pushed back her chair
from the table with the characteristic
and graceful remark to her partner:
You do play good game of whist,
Mr.. Blank. If you only preached as well
as you play whist it would be treat to
go to church to hear you"
The clergyman was quiteaequal to the
occasion. He kept his temper and his
face under perfect control as he re-
piled:
Thank you, Miss Sharp; but you
know anybody can learn to play whist,

ON A NIGHT TRAIN.

How the Passengers Were Kept Awake by
Bridal Couple.
A Young clam farmer from Canarsie,
accompanied by his 250-pound wife,
created much amusement on q bridge
train coming to Brooklyn last Sunday a
little before midnight. The cars were
IS well filled as is usual at that hour.
The rustics drew attention to them
selves by the loud tones Of their con-
versation, 'Now, baby" the man was
saying, "you know | amt a bit stingy
and / wouldn't care for the money at
all, but [ don't want any catfish of q
toll-grabber to do the dead swindle on
me-Sunday nights, anyway"
"Oh, never mind, Reuben" said
"baby" consolingly.
"Well, now, baby, you can see for
yourself There's 81 cents out Of dol
lar Do you see that? That shark has
kept back ten cents on me. 1t amt the
money | care for, baby. Here, do you
want it"'
"No; 1 don't want it. l wish you
would keep quiet"
"Well, if you don't want it, here
goes" scattering the change on the
floor.
Baby maintained a stolid silence,
gazing TueIullV at the COIN on Jne moor.
Finally Reuben realized that he had
been guilty of criminal waste, and he
said: "Well, if you don't want it, I'll
take it" and he began clumsily to pick
the money out u the spaces in the mat
ting. At this point a general laugh arose
from the other passengers. When the
Brookly station was reached the farmer
was still mourning his missing dime, and
when | left, his ponderous wife was
struggling to prevent him from taking
the next train to New York to get hunk
with "that pirate" at the toll.box-
