Preachers as a rule are great admirers of humor, and are often themselves among the wittiest of men. An example is always preferable to precept, and as the value of a remark lies in its application, we here record some of the witticisms of clergymen. The wit of the late Mr. Spurgeon was al- ways clean out, as witness these .,few in- stances. Addressing his students he -used to give them sound advice as to their work ; on one occasion he told them to put plenty in their sermons. After hearing some dis- courses' " he went on, "1 have been re- mindedof the farmer boy's request— " Minus, I wish you'd let that chicken run through this broth once more I" At another opportunity he warned them not to select texts out of keeping with the occasion on which they were to preach, and then he pointed the moral and adorned the tale. "One brother," he said, " preaohed on the loss of a ship with all hands on board from ' So he bringeth them to their desired haven,' and another'on returning from bis honeymoon based his remarks on The troubles of my heart are enlarged, Oh, bring me out of my distresses ?' " Archbishop Magee of York, was famed for his eloquence and also for his witty r e - par t ee, as witness this. He saw the way things were tending, and, in giving his suffragan, the Bishop of Hull, a few words of warning as to his future, said : "They will send for you to open churches, ceme- teries, schools, windows, clocks, vestries, and cloak -rooms, and before long the clergy will want you to come and open an um- brella." A clergyman lost his wife, and on her tombstone had inscribed: "The light of my eyes has gone out." A few years flew by and the late lamented's husband took unto himself another wife. Strolling past .the first wife's grave the attention of a high dignitary of the church, noted for his epi- grammatic wit, was drawn to it, and he was asked what would be a suitable append& to the inacription on the stbne under the altered °intimateness. Quick as thought came the reply, "1 should make the in- soription read thus—" The light of my eyes has gone out, but. I have struck an- other match !" Here we we must cry "Halt !" but from the foregoing illustrations it may be gath- ered that gentlemen of the cloth are not the dry -as -dust kind of folk they al'e often said to be, but are mostly the embodiment of wit. • Who is Your Druggist?

From recent statistics the following inter- esting 'facts have been ascertained. The heaviest men of all are butchers, who aver- age within a few ounces of 170 lbs.; next them come hotel -keepers, whose average weight is 167 lbs.; clergymen are the third heaviest people, weighing 1641bs., all round. But healthful, open-air work, not to labori- ous, with good living, is a great fattener, too. Masons and bricklayers weigh 162 lbs. or only two less than the clergymen. Far- mers, dockers and barristers are all a good average weight, the first weighing 161 lbs., the second 160?s, lbs., and the third 160 lbs. Commercial travelie-s turn the scale at 158 lbs., and, what would hardly be expected, are 3 lbs, heavier than blacksmiths, Who weigh only 155, lbs. Bankers, insurance agents and merehants are all very close to 154 lbs., carpenters and coopers stand at 153 lbs., teach rs and manufacturers , are slightly over, 151 lbs., labourers, druggists and shoemakers average 148 lbs., clerks and shopmen only 1/47 lbs.

You my have heard about SC TT'S EMULSION and have a vague notion that it is Cod-liver oil with its bad taste and smell and all its other repulsive fea- tures. It is cod-liver oil, the purest and the best in the world, but Imade so palata- ble that almost everybody can take it. Nearly all children like it and ask for more. SCOTT'S EMULSION looks like cream; it nour- ishes the wasted body of the baby, child or adult better than cream or any other food in existence. It bears about the same rela- tion to other emulsions that cream does to milk. If you have had any experience with other so-called "just as good" preparations, you Will find that this is a fact. The hypophosphites that are combined with the cod-liver oil give additional value to it because they tone up the nervous system and Impart strength to the whole body. SC0715°6:c04,1811rtedott%:ionto. When witnesses are examined the Court insists that they shall tell only what they know, not what they think or believe. Time and again the wandering witness is brought back to the point by the stern voice of the judge: "Mad- am we are not interested in what yoU think, Ns,* want to hear what you ac- tually know," There's no such trouble experienced with the worthy wom- en vvituesses to the cures wrought by Dr. Pierces Pavorite Prescription They know what they are talking about.

Rustic folk always appealed to him—the funny side of them. He was es- pecially fond of telling of the people who lived near Skaneateles like, particularly of a oertain hotel keeper at Glen Haven, at whose house Mr. Wescott and his family often stayed in the summer there. and lay ut Mrs, idewalk, h ladies es being-, Tip. dalajara rs that merican republic. rn yokes ith sue - friends Ito ask en you und his This man's table lapsed into such a con- dition that no one could look upon the viands and eat thereof. The guests' com- plaints slipped innocuously from the land- lord's back because of his impenetrable con- ceit. His constant and irritating brag was to the effect that his hotel was one of the best -kept and mostluxurious in the coun- try. It pleased certain guests, including the Wescotts, to stay there, and so a plan ITa.,e hit upon t9 better its matters. All would club together and send the seltsatis- fied landlord on a little journey into the world, BO that he might be educated into realizing what a good , hotel should be. When be was gone the guests ate with pati- ence the stale tinted food, knowing the time of deliverance wanat hand. Finally the man returned from his trip, and was met by an expectant throng on the piazza, which seemed to be saying breathlessly, " Well ?" " Wa-al," said their host, thrusting his hands deep in his trousers pockets and toe - tering on his toee. 'I've been away ; I've ben to yer Fifth avenue hotel • I've been to yer Thousan' islands, an' all the rest of 'em, but I can tell you whet, I'll bet this is the only hotel from Maine to Georgy wher you ken get seven kinds of pie for dinner ?" And so saying, he puffed himself still larger with impregnable conceit, and the crest fallen boarders went, back to their husks. SOME OF 1115 SAYINGS. Of a mother, Edward Noyes Wescott said : "She has a baby, a most perauasive one, which permeates and colors her conver- sation so that she seep all things through a baby darkly." At one time he wrbte : "1 have come to think that the thing I most desire I shall never have, so now with superstitious dread I try to cheat fate by refraining from set- ting my heart on anything, less it escape me. ' Again he writes : " If I were ten years younger," that phraise was almost habitual with him, " I might find an interest in flowers here." Ashville, April, 18941 " but all the flowers that I have cared for, or ever shall, bloomed long ago. If there be one immortelic among the lot, I am glad and thankful—and God bless the person who keeps it for my sake." , " But what is co sistency ? It is merely living up to others' conception of our nat- ural course of cond ct. We say of one : " Well, he is the la t person I should ever have thought woul do that !" whereas the mental and moral p ogress or re!iogresaion of that man going on ithin himself has led most logically to th sequence so unexpected to others.

He wrote tltiis once in a birthday book -opposite his own date, September 24th, with an air of ietory and defiance of the future—although such moods were rare. He was more proae to say : "Let - us enjoy ourselves, and let nothing good ,get away, for when we are dead, we are so -very dead," and then would follow a general laugh at his own philosophy.

Its remai:kable success in curing all di ;eases arising from thin blood and inipov,.rlied nerves is proof that Dr. Chase's theory of feed- ing the nerves and blood is the propor one; stimulants only urge on the tired and worn out -nervous system until there comes a complete collnpse.

The Govern- ment charges persons held in qiiarantine $6 a day for board and lodging, and the island on which they are isolated is a eery desolate place, indeed. There is a good deal of unrest in Cuba. Mr. Presnall says the better class of natives, and even the Spanish merchants, are strong- ly in favor of annexation to the United States, but the lower class are out for inde- pendence, and will not be satisfied with anything short of it. A big " indepen- dence " demonstration was held near Ilevan- na while he was there, and he attended it. Strong resolutions were passed, and a com- mittee appointed to wait on Gen. Brooks, the military governor, and statetheir wishes. The Governor replied that the United States Government would not give them self-government till it was well satisfied that they could rule themselves. He saw the funeral ef the late General AguilIe, who was killed some years ago, and whose re- mains were lifted from .their res ing place on the battlefield, and given a publc burial in the cemetery. It had more porip ebout it than he had ever seen befoq, he said. There were six hearses, filled with flowers, in the procession, and the body was carried on a richly decorated gun °infringe. The Cubans who want independenee say they will not raise the body of the late Gen. Gomez till Cuba is free. Business is not good at Havanna, owing , to the poor crop of tobacco and the failure of the sugar crop. He says all the Government positions are filled by United States politi- cians, and the civic Jobs by Cubsne.

AN INCIDENT OF THE "BONNIE BRIER BUSH, FOR DOMINION PRESBYTERIAN. It was a bright Thanksgiving morning, clear and frosty, as I, (With many others, wended my way to We village church to offer praise and thanks to the Giver of all good. The Frost King had been abeoad dur- ing the night, robing the earth in white at- tire and fringing the trees with snovvy pen- dants that gleamed like diamonds in the oun- shine. As our minister spoke of the many reasons each one had for thanksgiving my thoughts flew down the street to a humble abode where an aged Christian Yens being sorely tried in the furnace of pain. Cancer had done its deadly work in one eye, neces- sitating its removal a few days previous: and, knowing the agony she was enduring, in ley human ignorance I said to myself, "There is one woman at any rate who has not much to be thankful for." Prompted partly by curiosity and partly by a desire to carry what comfort I °Mild to this afflicted friend, late in the afternoon I made my way almost reluctantly to her low- ly dwelling. There are times, and this was one of them, when one stands utterly help- less in the presence of humanity, not daring even to touch the fringe of its heavy Mantle of suffering. The door was opened by her son, a strong well-built, genial man, who motioned ree into a little room off the sitting -room. Here in the snowiest of caps lay a poor, wrinkled face almost bidden by a bandage which cov- ered the disfigurement. The honest, toil worn hands, that had bravely worked and fought through fifty years of widowhood to bring up a family on a bush -farm, were fold- ed on the white coverlet. All that hiving hearts and hands could devise for her com- fort had been done. I was very glad fa hear that she bad rested a little during the ieight and in consequence was feeling easier. "How are you, Mrs. M ?" r asked, not knowing very well what to say. " Oh ! I've much to be thankful for," she replied. "The Lord has been very mezieiful to me." All the cheering words I had intended to leave with her vanished at the sight of her peaceful face. The Great Comforter had apoken to her soul and nothing remained for me but to sit at the feet of this aged i3aint and drink in the living sermon. "1 was thinking before I came in that you had very little to be thankful for, Mrs. M." I remerired, but before I had finished speak- ing she interrupted me by repeating: "The Lord has been very merciful to me. There were days when I thought I would dee an' that 1 couldna' thole the pain any longer; but the Lord gied me far mair strength for ma time o' need than I deserved." Her eye filled with tears as a rnemory of those dark days came over her, and she said sadly :'BUt often think it will mak' my life gey dark." " Well, Mrs. M."

It may have been a °heck, but it will only stimulate them for the end they have in view. (Cheers.)

You all remember Br gadier-General Macdonald, who figured so conapicuously a short time since in the battle of Omdurman and the recapture of Khartoum. Well, he was a Sergeant in the ranks with General White in India. Of the latter offioer I may say that ,he has won his cross over and over again. (Cheers.)
