An Odd Person.

Some young ladies were one day in the house of the Rev. B. Jacobs, talking about one of their friends. As he entered, he heard the epithets "odd," "singular," and the like, freely applied to somebody. He asked and was told the name of the young lady they were speaking of.
"Yes," he remarked very gravely, "she is a very odd lady; she is a very odd young lady; I consider her extremely singular;—she never was heard to speak ill of an absent friend." The rebuke was not forgotten by those who heard it.
