A Queer Old Man.

An old gentlegnan of 90 summers, Irving in a town m the interior of the State, had himseif measured for his coffin a few days ago. After its completion he was asked why he had so acted. His reply was that coffin-makers charge th ;ir own price after a man is dead. He had also selected his burial place, which

has been staked off. He never goes to church—does not believe in the resurrection, yet reads the Bible more regularly than anyone in the place, having faith only in the first nine chapters.— North Carolina Presbyterian .
