He Left Him in a Bad Place.
I will give one instance of the ever ready wit of Dr. Barrow. Meeting the Ea.rl of Rochester otic day the witty peer exclaimed, "Doctor, I am yours to the shoo tie." To which the clergyman replied, "My lord, I am yours to the ground." The peer continued, "Doctor, I am yours to the center." "My lord," retorted the doctor, "I am your 3to the Antipodes." Determined not to bo outdone by a parson, his lordship said, "Doctor, I am yours to the lowest pit of hell." On which Barrow turned on his heel and said, "And there, my lord, I leave you." True wit combined with reproof.—New York Home Journal.
