MOODY AND SANEY.

The following incidents in the experience of the revivalists. are from Tinsley's Magazine:—"ln the enquiryroom Mr Moody had been attending to a lady who was very demonstrative in her evidence of sensible conversion, jerking in ! tli at peculiar way which Mrs Girling's Shaker congregation are liable to. Having quited her, he passed on to a labouring man, who was still more emphatic in his movements, stretching his arms and legs out in the most approved fashion, and appearing to be clutching at something which eluded his grasp like Macbeths airy dagger. "Have you found ,my friend " ? said Mr Moody, naming a name with which we scarcely like to make so free as he does. "No, it ain't he," replied the man, , but it's my hat," prefixing, I ./ijaucb. regret to say, a most objectionable epithet to that article of atire. "My hat is under that feller opposite, and I can't reach it I " Mr Moody was for once nonplussed, and passed on. Not so when an old aristocratic lady came into' the enquiry-room and elbowed her way up to Mercury himself, declining to deal with Jupiter or any of his satellites. •* Mr Moody," said the forward old dowager, " what am I to do ? I don't believe in a future life, or any of those sort of things, you know," running glibly over the clauses of the Christian creed. Mr Moody stopped the conversation in which he was engaged, and in a stentorian voice, which, rang through the whole enquiry-room, called out to Jupiter and his satellites, " Here, come you all, make a ring." And they did so, after the fashion of the young bloods at promenade concerts, leaving the

gorgeous old lady alone in the midst. ••Now," said he, when he had made her the cynosure of neighbouring eyes, " now all kneel down with me, and pray for this very ivicked old woman."
