Beauty

Is desired and admired by all. Among the things which may best be done to enhance personal beauty is the daily use of Ayer'’s Hair Vigor. No matter what the color of the hair, this prepa- ration gives it a lus- tre and pliancy that adds greatly to its charm. Should the hair be thin, harsh, dry, or turning gray, Ayer’s Hair Vigor will restore the color, bring out a new growtb, and render the old soft and shiny. For keeping the scalp clean, cool, and healthy, there is no better preparation in the market. ““T am free to confess that a trial of Ayer’s Hair Vigor has convinced me that it is a genuine article. Its use has

not only caused the hair of my wife and daughter to be

Abundant and Glossy,

but it has given my rather stunted mus- tache a respectable length and appear- ance.’’— R. Britton, Oakland, Ohio.

‘““My hair was coming out ( without any assistance from my wife, either). I tried Ayer's Hair Vigor, using only one bottle, and I now have as fine a head of hair as any one could wish for.”’ —R. T. Schmittou, Dickson, Tenn.

‘*T have used Ayer’s Hair Vigor in my family for a number of years, and re- zard it as the best hair preparation I now of. It keeps the scalp clean, the hair soft and lively, and preserves the original color. My wife has used it for a long time with most satisfactory re- sults.’’— Benjamin M. Johnson, M. D., Thomas Hill, Mo.

** My hair was becoming harsh and dry, but after using half a bottle of Ayer’s Hair Vigor it grew black and glossy. I cannot express the joy and gratitude J feel.’’ — Mabel C. Hardy, Delavan, UL.

Clerical Anecdotes.

Next to the proverbial Hibernian, clergy- men have been more associated with wit | 46 and humor than other species of the genus | homo. Bishops, priests, deacons, preachers, and even elders, have figured prominentiy | and frequently in capital stories whose fun and merriment, if we except the Jast! named, they have entered into with the! keenest zest. Who that is familiar with the never-to-be-forgotten Reminiscences of the late Dean Ramsey, or reads the wit}

and humor coluains of sone of our epheme- ral literature, is ignorant of this fact !

It is observable that by far the greater number of clerical anecdotes have refer- ence, either remvutely or immediately, to the sermon or catechetical instruction, while the remainder arise either from per- sonal habits, surroundings, temperament, character or even’ personal appearance, of which last the following incident affords an amusing proof :—

It is related of a late amiable and sain ‘ly dignitary of the Church of England, whose facial features were not eminently prepos sessing, that while walkiog along one of the principal streets of the metropolis on a certain occasion, a little girl of about ten years old suddenly ran up to him, and, to his astonishment, offered him an apple. The fruit was not refused, but as the child was entirely unknown to him, the reverend

gentleman sought the reason which had prompted herto single him out of the

crowd to bea recipient of her generosity. Her face was instantly suffused with a glow of mingled amusement and astunish- ment, and, having muttered something about the ** big man monkey she had seen in the Zoo,” she rushed away laughing merrily. This story was related to the writer on good authority, and it is said that the cleric referred to never lost an oppor- tunity of telling ir.

1 have thought the anecdotes which fol- low might be interesting to the readers of THe EXAMINER.

A newly-fledged cleric bad ascended the pulpit of a church in the West of England for the purpose of delivering an oration, and being of the ** High Church” per- suasion, having very carefully placed his manuscript on the pulpit desk, he turned to the east for the ascription. On re gain- ing his original position he was horritied to find that the precious manusciipt had mysteriously disappeared. The unfortu- nate youth was at his wits’ end, and seemed to realize fully his painful position. He looked everywhere ior the truant, not even, in his despair, forgetting the roof, but all to no purpose. The congregation had been silent, and, it must be said, amused spectators of the strange manner in which the sermon had disappeared, but no one possessed the courage to go to the relief of the much distressed preacher, until at length a rough countryman, to whom the situation had beceme intoler- able, shouted out in startling tones: ‘** Can't yer find’n, sir? He’s in th’ purty thing behind yer back!” meaning the academical hood in whose stiff, new folds the manuscript had been caught during the orientation of its owner. A_ painful ex- perience, truly, but irresistibly funny for all that.

Clergymen, like other mortals, some- times get ** mixed,” as the following batch of anecdotes pretty plainly indicate.

A highly cultured Maine clergyman one morning announced that his text might be found in the Gospel according to Acts! It was another Maine divine who brought a glowing period to a close by the startling statement that *‘thus Svucrates drank the fatal wormwood |”

These, after all, were mere slips of the tongue, and happily totally devoid of ir- reverence, [ doubt if as much could be said for the following:—A Yorkshire clergy- man had been taking an eager part in a cricket match on Saturday and next morn- ing thoughts of the stirring contest would creep in; four much to the amazement of some hearers he said very solemnly, after reading the first lesson, **here endeth the first innings!” This brings to our mind an almost similar story which was told of a clergyman during the period when every- one was excited over Sullivan’s opera ‘* Pinafore,” who as onished the worship- pers in a Londen church with the following rendering of the tenth commandment : ‘Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's wife, nor his servant, nor his maid, nor his sisters, nor his cousins, nor his aunts,” &e.

This, if true, is certainly shockiog; but, if untrue, it affurds a striking instance of the readiness of a certain section of sucicty to place to the credit of the clergy, the preachers and upholders of reverence for divine things, every story which savors, however slightly, of the contrary.

While on the subject of sermons an- other very amusing incident may here find a place. An old parish clerk was courte- ously thanking a church dignitary for kind- ly taking, on emergency, the service and sermon in a Village church: ‘** A worse preacher would have done us, sir,” he said, ‘‘if we had known where to find him.” A faithful and accurate description vi the manner in which this very doubtful compl ment was received by the dignitary in question, would form a fitting appendix to this grimly humorous story. We now give a few anecdotes in which bishops are the principal actors.

The late Bishop Blomfield, of London, was sistening to a lengthy sermon. A companion seeing his lordship nodding, and fearing that he mig! at snore, which would be quite inepiseopal gave him an occasional nudge. When the discourse was ended. the Bishop shook his neighbor warmly by the hand and said, **One of the most awakening sermons I ever

heard !”

A short time previous to the demise of the lute lamented Bishop Jacobson, of Chester, it happened that on a particular occasion when his lordship was present at ‘the Cathedral, that the sermon was preach- ed by aclergyman whose “views” were

service when the Bishop was unrobing in the vestry, two of the Canons were discuss- ing the merits of the discourse within hear- ing of His Lordship. One thought it was

‘rather high.” ‘* How strange,” replied the other, ‘* I considered it rather low !” | The Bish op, on being appealed to for his opinion, quickly replied, with a merry ee in his eye, ** I think it was rather

ong.

The late Bishop Thirlwall, of St. David's, was deaf. It is said, however, that he thought little of his infirmity. Once when he was walking in the road, a friend who knew of the Bishop's infirmity, remarked, “It’s wet, my Lord Bishop” ‘Bh #” said His Lordship. ** It’s wet, My Lord.” ‘** Kh?” repeated the Bishop. The obser- vation had to be repeated several times be- fore the Bishop couid catch A’s meaning. * Strange how little one loses by being deaf !” he exclaimed.

Of late years it has become customary, when imparting religious instruction to the young, for the catechists, who are in most casesclergymen, to usea blackboard in order to illustrate theirsubject, and, by that means, wake a more vivid impression of it upon the minds of the catechumens. But as, notwithstanding the fact that they are now- a-days expected to be encyclopedias, and able to do everything, clergymen are not always born artists, the blackboard has as frequently been used to the discomfort and confusion of the catechist as to the profit of the catechised. This isshown by the fol- lowing anecdotes :—-

The Rev. Mr. G—— was, a few years ago, catechising a class of boys at Cowley, near Oxford, using a blackboard, and, if my memory serves me aright, for the first time. The subject was anything, but any way it happened that during the lesson it became necessary to present an illustra- tion of aclubon the blackboard, After very careful drawing the club was duly ex- hibited, and, it must be said, to the suatis- faction of the clerical artist. The question was put to the class, *‘ Now boys, what's that?’ To the great astonishment as well as disappointment of the reverend catechist, the only response was a profound and prolonged silence. At last a small boy piped out in a shrill and sygueaky voice irom a corner of the class, ** Please, sir, that’s a codfish!” Mr. G—’s diseomfiture was complete; and when, afterwards, he related his experience to one he said that he then and there registered a vow that he

would forever renounce and despise black-

boards.

Similarly, another clerical catechist quite recently essayed to treat his children of the Sunday school to a blackboard exposition vf the lesson. So, for a beginning, aud by way of graphically illustrating his remarka, he took a piece of chalk and sketched a re- presentation of two hearts joined together. ** Now, then,” he said, turning to the class, ‘*whar have [ drawn?’ ‘I know,” called a very tiny boy on the front seat. ‘* Well,” the clergyman kindly said, ‘** what is it ?”’ The littie boy shrieked out ** A termater !” Poor child, he meant a tomato.

Boys, particularly those who are ccrrect- ly denominated small, are rarely eminent for mental lucidity on any subject; about the clergy and ecclesiastical :natters gener- ally they are usually densely ignorant. We will conclude this paper by furnishing Fr few amusing instances of such ignorance, whose accuracy is beyond suspicion.

Ata recent clerical convention in New York a clergyman narrated a story of two boys in his district, one of whom said to the other, asa donkey passed by: ** Do you know what that is?’ ‘* Why, yes,” answered the cther, ‘that’s a donkey; I have seen lots of them in the ‘ Theolog.cal Gardens.’ ”

A boy who was asked to state in his ex- amination paper what he knew about the Rev. John Wesley, wrote: ‘* Wesley was the founder of the Wesleyan Chapel, who was afterwards called Lord Wellington; a monument was erected to him in Hyde Park, but it was taken down lately !”

It was another boy who stated that ‘* Luther introduced Christianity a thou- sand years ago; his birthday was in Novem- ber, 1884. He was once Pope; he lived in the time of the Rebellion of Worms.”

Cornwall Notes.

Farmers are busy digging potatoes, which are said to be a fair crop, although somewhat damaged by rot.

Mr. Henry Drake has a fine new house almost completed.

Mr. Geo. Pethick has also been repairing his residence, which, with its newly shingled roof, is now quite attractive.

One of out esteemed citizens is expected to ‘hep the conjugal twig” soon with a young lady who lives on the hill. We wish them much joy.

Some of our young people who visited the Fair in Ch'town made the acquaintance of the pea under the nutshell trick; and we regret to say that a prominent teacher in our Sunday School lost a brand new five dollar bill at the gay and festive sport.

Our popular young friends, Dr. McDon- ald, W. W. Muir and Miss Jennie Me- Donald, left this week for the Far West. Success to you my children.
