‘ What do you mean by a cat-and-dog life ? ’ said a husband to an angry wife, ‘ Look at Carlo and Kitty asleep on the rug ; I wish men lived half as happy with their wives.’ * Stop,’ said the lady, ‘ tie them together and see how they will agree ’ Doctor— ‘ Why, how is this, my dear sir? You sent me a letter stating you had been attacked by measles, and I find you are suffering from rheumatism.’ Patient ‘ Well, you see, doctor, it was like this—there wasn’t a soul at the house who knew bow to spell rheumatism.’ A Good Reply.—Too often the working man looks upon the clergyman as a well fed, under-worked, over-paid individual. The Dean of Worcestor tells of a curate who, passing through a group of men standing on a street corner, overheard one of them say, * There goes a chap with nothing to do, and gets hundreds for doing it. 5 The curate stopped and made answer : ‘My wages are £3 a week. I have been at work all the morning in my Masters service, in church, in school, in my study, and now I am going to see more sickness and distress in one afternoon than you have seen in sII your life.’ And Lhey held their peace.
