DRINK AGAIN.
The Bishop of Newcastle Is an eloquent and persistent advocate of total abstinence. Now and then, from a sense of duty, he arrays himself in well - worn clothes and goes about incognito among the poorer classes on tours of- observation. On one such- occasion he was riding in a third-class railway carriage, of which the only other occupant was a pitman. The miner, viewing the bishop's clerical but "seedy" garments, remarked: "I'se
warrant ye're a poor curate, noo, travelling wi' the likes of hur—" "I once was, my friend," replied the Bishop, "but—" "Oh, ay, I see," cried the other all In good faith, "that wretched drink! Ay, ay! Too bad!"
