wit of Horne Tooke.

1t is said that Horne Tooke, who ex-
celled in that duellike controversy ex-
hibited by two disputants when pitted
against each other with only the
breadth of a mahogany board between
them, was exceedingly quick and sharp
at retort. When he made his most
deadly thrusts, it was with a smiling
countenance and without seeming eff
fort or emotion. Replying to man
who contended that only landowners
should be allowed to vote at elections,
he said, pray tell me how many acres
does it take to make a wiseacreY'
When asked by George Ill. whether he
ever played cards. he replied, II can
not, your majesty, tell king from a

comic than his saying to his brother;

Friday Ii the Minister'S Day For

Dor to go into his study, write the ser

following Sunday. In speaking Of this
custom a clergyman says:
when Christianity was first promul-
gated, all preaching was done extern
poraneOusly. Such a thing as prepar-
ing a sermon was unknown. Many
gifted men expressed their views on
various subjects, then added few
words OF good advice to their listeners.
This practice is still continued in the
Roman Catholic church of the present
day, and l think that a very limited
number of the priests ever write ser
mon. Not all ministers, however. ad-
here to this rule by any means. When
Henry Ward Beecher was asked on
what day he prepared his sermon, he
replied, On Sunday morning, of
course
