Small Boy— "Oh, please, sir, your 'orse has been and failed down." Irate Carman — " Yer lie, yer young warmint ! I believe ye've been and shoved him down." Somebody has written a book en* titled, " What shall my son be ?" Upon which some one else frankly replies : "If the "boy is as bad as the book, the chanoes are that he will be hanged." Give us neither poverty nor riobe3 — anyhow not poverty. Smith (who has changed his mind in regard to his dinner)—" Waiter, did you order that fricassee for me ?'' Very polite waiter (with visions of liberal tips to come), "Yes, sir. Kut there's plenty of time to disorder it, sir, if you wish it, sir." Lazy to the Last. — A lady inquired of a neighbour how a certain friend of theirs — notorious for his laziness — who had been ill, was getting along, and the reply was, " I believe he is now able to sit up to his meals, but . still has to lie down to his work." The man who was hemmed in by a crowd has been troubled with a stitch in his side ever since.
CHARLES P. POWLES,
(Late Aasißtant Provincial Treasurer), Accountant and Commission Agent, Licensed Land Broker.
