l of Magdalene Hall.

[K] A copious Latin epitaph was inscribed on his tombstone, of which Mr.
Orme speaks, in 1826, as "still in fine preservation." (Memoirs, p.
346.) We are sorry to say that three letters, faintly traceable, are all
that can now be deciphered. The tomb of his illustrious colleague,
Goodwin, is in a still more deplorable condition: not only is the
inscription effaced, but the marble slab, having been split with
lightning, has never been repaired.

[L] In his delightful reminiscences of Dr. Chalmers, Mr. J. J. Gurney
says, "I often think that particular men bear about with them an analogy
to particular animals: Chalmers is like a good-tempered lion;
Wilberforce is like a bee." Dr. Owen often reminds us of an elephant;
the same ponderous movements--the same gentle sagacity--the same vast
but unobtrusive powers. With a logical proboscis able to handle the
heavy guns of Hugo Grotius, and to untwist withal the tangled threads of
Richard Baxter, in his encounters with John Goodwin he resembles his
prototype in a leopard-hunt, where sheer strength is on the one side,
and brisk ability on the other. And, to push our conceit no further,
they say that this wary animal will never venture over a bridge till he
has tried its strength, and is assured that it can bear him; and if we
except the solitary break-down in the Waltonian controversy, our
disputant was as cautious in choosing his ground as he was formidable
when once he took up his position.

JESSE LEE AND THE LAWYERS.

Jesse Lee, one of the first Methodist preachers in New England, combined
unresting energy, and sensibility, with an extraordinary propensity to
wit. Mr. Stephens, in his new work on the _Memorials of Methodism_,
gives the following specimen of Lee's _bonhommie_:

As he was riding on horseback one day, between Boston and Lynn, he was
overtaken by two young lawyers, who knew that he was a Methodist
preacher, and were disposed to amuse themselves somewhat at his expense.
Saluting him, and ranging their horses one on each side of him, they
entered in a conversation something like the following:--_First Lawyer._
I believe you are a preacher, sir? _Lee._ Yes; I generally pass for one.
_First lawyer._ You preach very often, I suppose? _Lee._ Generally every
day, frequently twice, or more. _Second Lawyer._ How do you find time to
study, when you preach so often? _Lee._ I study when riding, and read
when resting. _First Lawyer._ But you d
