DEAN RORISON'S REPLY.
A lady in Scotland, who was a large landowner, once consulted with the late Dean Rorison of St. Andrews, about the appointment of a clergyman to one of the livings in her gift. "1 wish you to understand the kind of man I want," she explained. "He must be a gentleman ; he must be musical and cultured. I want him to take an interest in the boys, to exercise a refining influence on the whole neighbourhood. Ho must, of coulee, be a good preacher. Now, Dean, do you understand the kind of man 1 want " The Dean replied : " Yes, madam ; 1 understand the kind of man you want. YYou want" a' St. Francis de Sales, plus a Liddon. plus an Archbishop of Canterbury, for a hundred a year and a damp cottage and you won't get him."
