A Scotch minister administering a rebuke to his man John for getting occasionally elevated in the course of his peregrinations on session business, John excused himself on the plea thatthe country folks pressed him so heartily to take a dram, ' Well,' replied tho minister, in a tone of grave rebuke, 'I also visit my people, but they nover think of pressing me.' ' Ay, but,' says John, ' that may be because you are no sae respeckit in the parish as I am.' Gardeneri mind their peas, and actors their cues, but churchwardens, instead of minding their p's and q's very often give their attention to their pewß and keys.
