To hts n surprise an embarrassing silence ensued, during which he vainly si sought to find something to say. fi "Doctor Blank," began the la ii dy at last in faltering tones, "do p vou think?can you imagine si conditions under which a?a woman is?justified in propos c ing?" si \Why, yes," said the minister. 44 after some deliberation. 1< "Thou art the man!" said the I lady, resolutely. b Moreover, it appears thqt she a was right, n Yalks Ten Miles and Superintends Two Sunday Schools Plumtree, N.

Not long ago upon the occasion of the graduatin of his eldest son, he asked: "Vel, Vilhelm, vot do you know? Vot did dev teach you up in school?" 4'Oh, Latin and Greek," answered the youth, "and German and algebra." 4 So, so," mused the old German. "And vot's der algebra for cabbage now?"
