The clergyman,s Retort

There is a 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 pre-
tense of frankness an excuse for
rudeness, and who are given to boast
ing that they are plain-spoken, when
the truth is that they are simply i'll
bred and insolent. This especial lady
is wealthy, and there are not many
in the list OF her acquaintance who
dare rebuke her, albeit they do to-
gether console each other for the
wounds they suffer from her tongue
by abusing her roundly.
1t CHANGED one evening the lady and
the clergyman were partners at whist
at the house OF common friend, and
so successful were they that they won
almost 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. II you only preached as
well as you play Whist it would be d
treat to go to church to hear you"
The clergyman was equal to the oc-
casion. He kept his temper and his
face under perfect control as he re-
piled:
"Thank you Miss Shaw; but you
know anybody can learn to play
whist, while genius and good breeding
come by grace OF God"

A THEORY is current among some
philosophers that person can gradu-
ally grow to look like his or her most
intimate companions. Thus husbands
and wives often grow to resemble each
other, girls not related to each other
after years of intimate association by
dressing alike and thinking alike have
been known to grow to look alike.
Hunters and stockmen who have made
companions of their dogs or stock have
gradually grown to look like them. To
associate with the beautiful and employ
the mind with thoughts that are eleva-
ting are other means of changing feat
ures that may have been warped by
assembling nature.

If you have a little farm OF bust
ness, or steady work and out OF debt,
do not fret and work yourself and
wife into the grave for the sake OF
making money. You have but one life
to live and that is very brief at least.
Take little comfort and pleasure as
you go on day by day, and try to do a
little good to others. A morbid in
satiate desire to possess the earth and
to grab everything in sight, is at the
foundation Of more misery than almost
any one thing. Wealth alone will
never keep your grave green after you
are gone.

THERE is a general impression pre-
yalent that all gold is alike when re-
fined, but such is by no means the
case. An experienced man can tell at
a glance from what part of the world
a gold piece comes, and in some cases
from what part of particular gold
district the metal was obtained. The
Australian gold, for instance, is dis
tinctly redder than the Californian,
and this difference in color is always
perceptible, even when the gold is
1000 fine. Again the gold obtained
from the placers is yellower than that
which is taken directly from quartz.
