Although the old gentleman with
red face and choleric temper had
opened the car window five times
with much vigor, he had found it
closed every time he walked from
his doze.
He felt perfectly sure that the
person to blame was the man be-
bind him, who gave vent to stihed
groan each time the window was
opened. at last the choleric gentle
man turned in his seat.
"Sir," he said Indignantly, "you

What puzzled Him.

1t is said of the Marquis of
Townsend that when young man
and engaged in battle he saw a
drummer at his side killed by can
non ball, which scattered his brains
in every direction. His eyes were
at once fixed on the CHASTITY object,
which seemed to engross his
thoughts. A superior officer obsery-
ing him, supposed he was intimidat-
ed by the sight and addressed him
in a manner to cheer his spirits.
"Oh," said tho young marquis, with
calmness, but severity, al am not
frightened. / am only puzzled to
make out how any man with such q
quantity of brains ever came to be

Porvorsion of Justice and Equity.

Whosoever pronounceth against
his neighbours intentions otherwise
than as they are evidently express
ed by words or signified by overt
actions is slandcrer, because he
pretendeth to know and dareth to
aver that which he nowise possibly
can tell whether it be true; because
the heart is exempt from all juris-
diction here, is only subject to the
government and trial of another
world; because no man can judge
concerning the truth of such ac-
cusations; because no man can ex-
cmpt or defend himself from them,
10 that apparently such practice
doth thwart all course of justice and
equity.--Isaac Barrow.
