The Rev. B. Jacobs, of Cambridgeport, could, when necessary, administer reproof very forcibly, though the gentleness of his character was always seen in the manner in which it was done. Some young ladies at his house were one day talking about one of their female friends. As he entered the room, he heard the epithets 'odd,' 'singular,' &c., applied. He asked and was told the name of the young lady in question, and then said, very gravely, 'Yes, she is an odd young lady; she is a very odd young lady; I consider her extremely singular.' He then added very impressively,' She was never heard to speak ill of an absent friend.' The rebuke was not forgotten by those who heard it.
