WHY THEY ARE NUMEROUS.
Poets ore born, and not made, it is said, And I know of no saying that's truer: For if they weren't born, soon all would be dead, And no one would niako more, I'm sure. One of the surgeons of an hospital asked an Irish help which he considered the most dangerfius of the many cases then in the hospital. ' That, sir,' said Patrick, as he pointed to a case of surgical instruments. A Misunderstanding. —Mr Parvenu : Waiter ! Bring me a bottle of champagne. Waiter : Yes, sir. Dry, sir ? Mr Parvenu : It's none of your business whether I'm dry or not. ' Aren't you afraid if you leave your wheel out all night that so much dew will rust it ?' ' Oh, 1 don't mind that ; there's £5 due on it now.' Socially Injurious.—He :' If people said just what they thought, it would do a lot of harm, wouldn't it?' She: 'Well, it would reduce conversation about ninetenths.'
