Two R1IrTOn'rs Couit"rous.-There
is ia story that Lord Melbourne was
ono pressed by an inquisitive lady,
whom ho had taken down to dinner,
to give her his exact opinion on the
doctrine of the Trinity. He an
swered that his views on this most
important question wore those hold
by every sensiblo man. "But what.,"
askc'd his cross.-examinor, "are t)0.o
views ?" "That, madam," lhe re
p)liev, is what no sensible man ever
discloses." Prof. Jewitt once n'ade
a rejoinder not unlike this. A dep)u
tationi, headedl by tihe Oxford VicoA
Chancellor, waited upon" him to
