"Thomas," said a sponging friend of the family to the footman, who had been lingering about the room for half an hour to show him to the door—" Thomas, my good fellow, it's getting late, isn't itP How soon will the dinner cone up, ThomasP" "The very moment you be gone." A candidate for a vacant vicarage announces an invention of his own which may prove to be useful. It is a peculiar arrangement of the pulpit, with a clock to Rive warning. When, at the end of half an hour, the clock sounds au alarm, if the preacher does not conclude within three minutes down comes the pulpit with the panon and the test of the appendages.
