THE LATEST FISH YARN.
A clergyman (no sect mentioned) had been away for a holiday. He was a very popular man with his congregation, and preached sermons which were vefy much appreciated. He was carrying a trunk in which was contained his books of reference. Stepping over the small gang-way leading to the wharf, a slight oscillation occurred, which caused him to drop his trunk, which went out of sight. It was pointed out to him that, owing to the depth of the water, the trunk was irrecoverable. The old gent- sighed submission. Being hungry, he wended his way to a restaurant, and being fond of shrimps, he ordered a plateful. On taking the first one, he found to his great delight, the missing trunk! —Next man in, please.
