A Quaker Argument. — " Ah, " said a sceptical collegian to an old Quaker, " I suppose you are one of those fanatics who believe the Bible ?:." The old man said, "I do believe the Bible. Do you believe it ?"• " No, I can have no proof of its truth. " " Truth ! " inquired the old mm " does thee believe in France?" "Yes> for, although I have not seen it, I have seen others who have. Besides, there is plenty of corroborative proof that such a country does exist." " Then thee will not believe anything thee or others has not seen ?" " No." " Did thee ever see thy own brains ?" • " jSTo." " KJnowest thee the man who did see them? Dost thee believe thee has any ?" This last qiiestion put an end to the discussion.
