Who will be the first to respond?

The claim set up by Yoorhees that he was the soldier’s friend during the rebellion, reminds «» of aa anecdote of ap old skinflint in Pennsylvania who was known to be very close and tricky in business transactions. Being at a love feast during • protracted meeting he was somewhat carried away by the excitement, and rising to bis feet began to tell his experience, “My friends,” said he, “1 have beeu an humble soldier of the ctosb for thirty years, and—” Here he was interrupted by a good brother, who exclaimed: “Thank God for that, Brother H . I have known you for twenty-five years, but never discovered that you were a Christian before.” Daniel should follow the old man’s example— sit .down and say no more on a strange subject.
