The celebrated MT Hume wrote an essay on the snfiieiency of the light of nature; and the no less celebrated Robertson wrote on the necessity of revelation and the insucieBsy of the light of nature. Hume came one enening io visit Roberston, and the evening was spent in eoaversing on this subject. The friends of both were present. and 1t s said that Robertson reasoned with unaccustomed clearness and power. Whether Hume was convinced by his reasonings. or not we cannot tell; but at any rate he did Tot acknowledge his convictions. Hume was very much of gentleman. and as he was about 10 depart bowed politely to those in the room while as he retired through the door, Robertson took the light to show him the way. Hume vas still facing the door:

 go, sir" said he to Roberston, "I ind the lixh, of nature always sufficient" and he continued.

 Pray. don't trouble yourself. sir." and so he bowed on.

 he street door was open. and presently, as he bowed along the entry. he stumbled over something concealed and pitched down stairs into the street Robertson ran aft"r him with light, and he held il over him, whispered softly and cunningly,

 "Yon had better have little light from above, friend Hume"

 And raising him up. he bade him good night, and returned 10 his friends.
