CORNERED HIM.
Dr Emmons, the able New England divine, met a pantheistical physician at the house of a sick parishioner. It was no place for a dispute ; but the abrupt question of the pantheist was :
" Mr Emmons, how old are you ?" " Sixty, sir; and how old are you ?" "As old as creation," was the triumphant response. " Then you are of the same age with Adam and Eve ?"
"Certainly. I was in the garden when they were."
" I have always heard that there waa a third party in the garden with them, but I never Knew before that it was you," rejoined the divine.
