The late Rev. Dr. R— had a somewhat lofty manner of expressing himself. In the course of visiting his parish he called at the cottage of an elderly female, who familiarly invited him to "come in by and sit doun." The Doctor, who expected a more respectful salutation, said, in stately tones, intended to check any further attempt at familiarity, "Woman, I am a servant of the Lord come to speak with you on the concerns of your soul." "Then ye'll be humble like your Maister," admirably rejoined the cottager. The Doctor felt the reproof deeply, and never again sought to magnify himself at the expense of his office.

(C. Rogers, LL. D.)
