CRINOLINE IN THE PULPIT.
English Rector Once Preached a Ser
mon In Its Favor.
Apropos of the crlnolino scare, I
must relate a quaint story told mo by
s gentleman old enough to remember
tho "age of steel," and who was Inti
mately acquainted with the country
parson who preached tho sermon he
quoted from.
His church was a very small ono,
and his congregation a large and .
fashionable one. Tho rector was
neither narrow-minded nor behind
the times, and his taste was catholic
enough to embrace even the crinoline
of tho early 60s. He did not find fault
with their appearance, only with the
undue space they usurped.
On one memorable Sunday morning
he electrified his congregation by dis
coursing on tho subject. He dealt ten
derly with the offending hoop, and
began by making a singularly unprac- 1
tlcal suggestion, with all tho ignor
ance of his well-meaning masculine
mind, to tho effect that they might
wear these appendages during the
week with great eclat, but leave them
off on Sundays.
Then, when the flutter his audaciou
BUggestion had begun to subside, ho
declared himself no enomy to, but
eminently the friend of fashion;
changes of stylo in dress, ho inti
mated, were pleasing to the eye, and
excellent Jor trade; they encouraged
Ingenuity in work and gave lessons in
taste.
"I havo no intention of disparaging
your crinolines, my friends," ho said .
benevolently, "but would rather draw
a lesson from them, and wish with all .
my heart that your virtues may bo as
largo as your skirts, and your vlcea
as small as your waists." Gentle
woman. SOME ADVICE ABOUT READING.
"When You Are Getting, Why Not Get
the Beot."
Let young men and women let other
books alone, say, for five years, and
feed on Shakespeare, Milton and tho j
Blblo not nibble the cholco parts
but thoroughly chew and digest, as !
they read, and tho highest mental
forco and equipment will bo the re
sult. By tho wny, It Is not necessary oven
to go out of Georgia to point tho
moral of this little sketch.
Herschol V. Johnson was a great
thlnkor and a great man. IIo said:
"I know nothing of fiction."
But he know much of Shakespeare,
Milton and the Bible!
Benjamin H. Hill was a great thlnk
or and a groat man.
Ho never read but 0110 novel In his
life, and was not conscious of deriv
ing any benefit, from that I mean
mental growth!
But he know his Shakespeare, his
