rett Wendell about Or. William Ever.
EFT: The latter was going out to
BrocktoE one night TO deliver an nd.
dress and ran across Mr.. Wendell In
the Old Park square station. Come
along, Wendell" he said. IL am going
out TO Brockton to speak. and | want
some one respectable TO sit on the plat.
form with me-" So the professor went
along.
When Everett arose to speak, the
hall. which was large one. was only
passably well filed, and even the com.
paratively small number present began
to grow smaller as one by one people
slipped away. Mr. Wendell began to
think that Brockton must be- singu-
larly cold hearted place when sudden
ly he noticed people coming I'm by twos
and threes and silently taking seats
wherever they could find them. Soon
the hall was full. with standing room
only. but still they came till the aiSl6s

A story Is told OF an English clergy
man who owed his appointment to a
rich living to a lucky pun. lie was
tutor to the son of n uohleman aud
had not long taken orders when he
attended the funcra! Of the rector Of
the parish I'm which the nObleman's
seat was situated.
The father OF his pupil was patron Of
the living and was also present at the
funeral OF the deceased rector. There
was young clergyman present also
whose grief was 50 demonstrative that
the noble patron was much affected by
the sight and asked if the young man
was Il son of the deceased gentleman.
ooh, dear, no. my lord-no relation at
all" said the tutor.
mo relation exclaimed the noble
man In a surprised tone.
None. my lord. he is the curate. and
think he is not weeping for the dead,
but for the living"
His lOrdship. who was something OF
wit and a cynic himself. was so de-
lighted with the bonmot that he con-
ferred the living upon the ready pun
