It is told of an eccentric and elo-
quent Scottish divine that he once
met couple of his parishioners at the
house of lawyer notorious for his
sharp practice, and Of whose honesty
the minister had no great opinion.
Said the lawyer, iocularly but I'M
graciously, Doctor these are mem
bers Of your flock. May ask do you
look upon them as white sheep or
black sheep?"
81 don't know" replied the reverend
doctor, drily, whether they are black
or white sheep, but do know that II
they are long here they are pretty sure
to be feeced."

Some old.Tlme .Proverhs.

There is no doubt that much of
what is called success in life depends
upon getting we'll into the groove"
and keeping there. Some unlucky
Englishman is responsible for the
saying, IF my father had made me
halter. men would have been born
without heads" but this can scarcely
be called original, as an unfortunate
Arab, ages ago, declared 'If | were
to trade in winding sheets no one
would die" 1t is to men of this stamp
the French apply the proverb, Falls
on the back and breaks his nose;" the
Italians, "He would break his neck
over a stew" "Msfortunes seldom
come singly" has many equivalents in
all languages. The Spaniards say,
Welcome, misfortune, If thou CONTEST
alone" and WHITTIER goest thou, mis-.
fortune? To where there is more?"
