Rousseau and Clergyman.

Rev. Frederick A. Ross had just been examined on a charge of treason, and convicted upon hie own shewing. Under charge of a guard he was about ■ to leave Gen. Rousseau’s tent. Putting on a particularly sanctimonious expression, he took up his hat, turned to the general, and said: “Well, general, we must each do asi| we think best, and I hope we will both meet in heaven.” “Your getting to heaven, sir, will depend altogether upon your future conduct,” the general replied. “Before we can reasonably hope to meet there you and I must become better men.” The effect of this brief rejoinder was Irresistible.
