WON PROMOTIONS BY PUNs.
cIergymen Who have Been Rewarded
for Their Facetiousness.

T. P.'s Weekly-Canon Melville,
who died the other day in his ninety.
second year, owed his earliest promo.
ton to a pun. When the late earl OF
Dudley, who knew Mr.. Melville sut
ficiently to remember that his Chris
tian name was David, had a living at
his disposal, he received a letter con-
tanning only the words: Lord, remem-
Der David" The earl's reply was no
less terse and scriptural: Thou an
the mani"
Perhaps the earliest instance of
ecclesiastical promotion won by a pun
is that of a curate named Joseph, who
was prompted by Swift to take this
text for a sermon preached in St
Patrick's cathedral, Dublin, before the
viceroy, Butler" the duke Of Or.
mond: "Yet did not the chief Butler
remember Joseph, but forgot him"
Rev. DR.. Mountain, who was the son
of a beggar, owned nearly every step
of his successive promotions in great
part 10 his facetiOusness. and won the
last step of all by a single jest.
When he was consulted as bishop of
Durham by George II. as to the fttest
person to fill the vacant archipiscopal
see OF York, he replied: "Sir, hadsI
thou faith as a grain of mustard seed,
thou wouldst say to this mountain
dramatically striking his breast,
BE thou removed and cast into this
sea (see).' That George II. should
so understand and appreciate the
joke as to accept its suggestion is
perhaps the strangest part of the
story.
Apropos of puns, promotion and the
see OF York, here is a good story of a
living given by an archbishop of York
in reward for an impertinent personal
pun. The archbishop, Sir William
Dawes, entertained his clergy al
dinner shortly after the death of his
wife, Mary, who appears to have been
a regular Mrs. Proudie at once to his
grace and to the diocese. At dinner
the archbishop apologized, with a sigh,
for things not being in the apple-pie
order that prevailed when his dear,
dead wife, Mary, was alive. Being
himself an inveterate punster, he
added, with a sad shake of his head:
She, indeed, was Mare Pacificum!"
A curate who knew too we'll what a
tartar the deceased lady was, re
joined, AYE, my lord, but she was
first Mare Mortuuml" and was
absolutely and Immediately rewarded
by the archbishop for this impertinent
pun with a living of $500 a year.

Stephen rose softly and watched
him from behind the window curtains
until Gideon had vanished amongst
the trees; then stephen went out and
smiled down upon his mother with the
air of a man who had just succeeded

the good of mankind at large.
