NOT SO BADLY OFF.
Poor Sam Havilnp is a bit of a phisosophcr in his way, and says that, although badly off in other respects, he has “ little to complain of in the (jrvh lino.” “ You sec,’, he remarks, “ whenever I spend the day out, I can always speculate on a cut from my friends, anti a cold shoulder from others. I sometimes indulge in a few rolls on my way home at night ; and, when I arrive there, my darling wife has generally something hot in readiness for me. Plenty of tongue and cheek is not a bad treat before bed time, and my mother-in-law, who lives with us, keeps me in pickles.”
