How do you know but she slapped his face for him!— Ladies Treasury. Weeping is not unfrequently produced by extreme pleasure, joy, or happiness, it might be so in Jacob’s •case. —Hardwicke’s Science Gossip. The cause of Jacob’s weeping was the refusal of Rachel to allow him to kiss her again.—Nonconformist. It is our opinion that Jacob wept because he had not kissed Rachel before, and he wept for the time he had lost.—The City Press. The fellow wept because the girl did not kiss him.—Pall Mall Gazette. Jacob wept because Rachel told him to do it twice more, and he was afraid to.—Methodist Recorder. Jacob cried because Rachel threatened to tell his mama.—Sunday <Jazette. He wept because there was only one Rachel to kiss.—Clerkenwell News. He wept for joy because it tasted so good.—Jewish Chronicle. We .reckon Jacob wept because Rachel had been eating onions'— British Standard.
