 He waited few moments until the glance of the man referred to fell on him, and then with much deliberation drew forth his watch and looked at it.
 The man across the aisle saw the movement and instantly lifted his own watch from his vest pocket

A Contrast.

An amusing story is told of old Dr. Emmons, a clergyman who was equally famed for the extreme neatness of his person and for his carelessness in regard to his "establismelt."
 He started one day to exchange" with brother whose reputation was, so to speak, the complement of his own. The two divines met on the road, about half way, and stopped to indulge in fra ternal chat. Dr. Emmons' horse looked as if he had never known the touch of a currycomb; tae dnst of bygone days whitened his oli chaise, and several seedy haystalks dangled conspicuously from the top and sides.
 The old minister himself, however, faultlessly neat from head to foot, was shining figure in the dingy equipage.
 Not single hair lay ''agee" in the glistening coat of the other minister's steed, and the sunlight glistened on the

 Unaware of this fact, he gazed at Dr. Emmons' turnout with increasing disap- proval. As he was about to drive on he fired this parting shot at his friend:
 Brother Emmons, should think you would be ashamed of your horse"
 "And l, my dear brother" was the quick response of Dr. Emmons, should almost think yonr horse would be ashamed of you"
 After which interchange of shots the two old friends parted in perfect good humor.-Youth's Companion.
