Doctor of Divinity and a High Church Ritualist recently had a very elaborate and highly-colored stained glass window put into his church representing incirtonts said to have transpired at the birth of Jesus Christ, the subject being taken from the well-known hymn beginning, "While shepherds itched their flocks by night." Some parishioners, ssing by, walked in to see the new window, when one of th'em suddenly exclaimed, " Wey, noo, aa's sure its a real bonny window, an' us chops is aalwis larnin' something new ; for, by gox, aa diddent knaa thit thor was magenta coos i' the time of wor Saveyorl" The times are so hard that an Irishman says he kai holes of an old waistcoat.
