TAILOR PHILOSOPHY.
A young man from the agricultural districts was lately in a tailor's shop getting measured for a vest. "Married or unmarried ?" queried tho tailor, after taking down the number. " Unmarried," said the young man, with a blush. " Inside pocket on the left hand side then," observed the tailor, as if to himself, making a memorandum to that effect. After a few moments pause the young man was prompted to ask, " What difference does my being married or unmarried make as to the inside pocket of the vest?" "Ah, my dear sir," observed the tailor, with a bland smile, " all the difference possible, as you must see. Being unmarried, you want the pocket on the left side, so as to bring the young lady's picture next to your heart." " But doesn't the mariied man also want his wife's picture next to his heart ?" queried the anxious youth. " Possibly there is an instance of that kind," said the tailor, arching his eyebrows, " but I never heard of it."
