A BISHOP’S STORY.
One bishop tells the following story about another: —The palace was at the distance of some miles from the city, and the bishop was accustomed to be driven in and out in his brougham when business took him to the Diocesan Registry. One afternoon, when the carriage came round, it was to® evident that the coachman, was unfit to drive. What was to be done? Dinner waited, and no other driver could be procured. At last His Lordship consigned the coachman to safe keeping, and, favored by the darkness, mounted the box and drove himself home. As soon as the carriage wheels were heard approaching the hall door the watchful and obsequious butler appeared, and descending the steps, throw open the carriage door, and with a stately jet deferential bow waited for his master to alight. As he did not da so, he peered into the carriage, saw nobody, and turned to the box, saying, “ Why, Charles, wherever has blessed old Pomposity got to ? ” —Tableau.
