! An old clergyman who had held .
cure in the depths Of the country for
the greater part Of his life had oecasion
to consult his bishop on q certain mat
ter, and. in answer to his letter, re-
ceived an invitation to sleep the night
ut the palace. For 400 so years he had
practically led the life Of a recluse, and
1t was after many cogitations that he
decided to take the journey to the other
end OF the diocese, where the bishop
lived. He arrived just in time for 3
O'Clock tea, a meal to which he was q
complete stranger.
After tea the bishop asked him to ao.
company him to evensong. When they
returned to the house. the bishop, re-
marking that it was quite time they
went up stairs, lit a candle and showed
his guest to his room. 1t was then just
: O'Clock, and, though the old clergy
man thought it was rather early to re-
tire, still, admiring the bishop for such
simple habits, he prepared for bed. He
had just put out the light and lain
down to sleep. wishing he had drunk a
little more tea, when a booming noise
rang through the house and smote upon
his ear.
Quick as thought he sprang from his
bed and, shouting "Fire!" at the top of
his voice, rushed out on to the landing
just in time to meet the bishop. with a
lady on his arm, going down to dinner.
The sequel to the story has never been
divulged. -Cornhill Magazine.

Leaving 1t to the Jury.

A story is told of a judge who up to
his death sat on the crown side on the
South Wales circuit. Counsel for the
defense once asked leave to address the
jury in Welsh, and, the case being .
simple one, permission was given with
out demur. He said but very few
words; the judge also did not think
much comment was necessary, but was
somewhat startled by a prompt verdict
of aoquittal.
"What was it," he afterward in.
quired, ''that counsel said to the jury?''
"Oh, he just said I: This case. gentle.
men, lies in a nutshell. You see your
selves exactly how it stands. The Judge
is an Englishman. the prosecuting coun.
sci is an Englishman, the complainant
is an Englishman. But You are Welsh,
and l am Welsh, and the prisoner is
Welsh. Need I say more? I leave it all
to you.'"
The judge did not allow the expert.
ment to be repeated Of addresses to the
jury in a %vernacular which he did not
