" Come, come, my friend, donoLbe despondent. You knowthelinos,beingapvinter,aboutthovileBt sinnerreturning. I think you are in a hopeful condition, a very hopeful condition. P.P. : Ah ! but I've been such a Sabbathbreaker." M : " Working on a Sunday paper, I presume?" P.P.: k£ Oh, no. The men who work on Sunday-papers don't break the Sabbath. Their work is done on Saturday night. I work in a daily paper, and the Monday morning issue is all set up on Sundays. But I'm determined to leave the business ; I'll break the Sabbath no more by setting typo." M. : "I rejoice to find you in such a frame of mind. You will be a bright and shining light in the Church one of these days. And you have had to set type on Sundays, my poor friend —reports of dogfights, pugilistic mills, &c , I suppose? P. P. (weeping bitterly): " No, sir, principally reports of ministers' sermons, in solid minion."
