ANSWERED THEM RIGHT.
A correspondent of the Intelligencer
relates the following story of an eccentric
minister, John Gray : “ Once he was im
portuned by one of his most hospitable
parishioners to remain for dinner,
‘ though.’ said the good woman, ‘I havo
nothing fit to give you ; the dinner will
be light.’ Seated after a little at the
table, he was requested to give thanks.
The board was loaded with the most
inviting dishes. ‘All, madam,’ said the
pastor, ‘ you told me the dinner would
be nothing much : why ask me to give
thanks ?’ It brings to mind an anecdote
related of one of the early ministers of
our Church of a nearly similar character.
He was preaching in South Carolina and
staying with a lady who was famous for
making good biscuit, but also for say
ing to every guest that they were not fit
to eat. This time as they sat down to
the table she began to say she was deep
ly disappointed, for it had been her wish
they migh t be.’ This was not what was Red Hill, Sampson Co., N. 0., first
looked for, and flashing up in exteYnpor- j § nn( j av j n j u | v
aneons disgust, tb e-host ess repliedWell
they are good enough for yon anyhow.’
The moral of both s ories is that it is
jMars
better to tell the truth than to look for
thanks aii*4,compliuients with a falsehood
as the medium of their communication.”
These stories retrifud us ot one we heard
several years stride : A minister chan
cing to call upon one of the sisters of
his flock about tea-time, was invited to
the table. The gotfd woman had scarce
ly got seated before she commenced ma
king apologies for The food. After the
parson had partaken of nearly every
thing upon the table, all of which she
declared “ very ,pqor ”ancl “ positively
not fit to eat,” she passed him the pie,
raying, “ Now, parson; will you try and
eat a piece of tnygpoor pie?” Evidently
disgusted with so many sham apologias,
he replied, “No,!thank yon, ma’am; 1
never eat poor pif|!” Exchange.

Causes of Death in Great Britain
—Prof, de Chaumont, of London, states
that of the 700,000 deaths per annum in
Great Britain, recorded by the Registrar
General, consumption caused ahou.1 70.000:
diseases of the respirator}- organs, 100,-
000; diarrhoea, 33,000; enteric fever, 11,-
000 ; scarlet fever, 25,000 ; and diphtheria
3,500. Some of these diseases might be
prevented altogether if dwelling houses
were put in a good sanitary state, and
others might be modified to a very mate
rial extent, the whole of them being pro
pagated by foul air and foul water.
