He: “Speaking of their marriage, I i think they both made a very good match.' ' She ; How can you say so? Why she's brimstone personified, and he's a perfect stick!'' He Brimstone and a perfect stick : precisely the essentials to a good match.” One of our Bishops recently told the following story. He had gone down into the country to visit a charitable institution, into which poor hds had lieen drafted from the East-end of London, and, in addressing them, he congratulated them on the delights of tlieir new residence. The boys looked unaccountably gloomy and downcast, and the Bishop asked, “Are you not comfortable? Have you any complaints to make? ” At last the leader raised ins hand, “ The milk,my lord.” “ Why what on earth do you mean ? The milk here is t -nfold better than ever you bad London. ” “No indeed, it ain’t !’’ cried the boy. “In London they always buys our milk out of a nice clean shoy, and here—why, here they squeezes it out of a beastly cow.”
