THE PARSON'S WIFE.
"In the East End of London a clergyman was charged with having violently dragged his wife from a certain meeting and compelled her to return hime with him. The clergyman let the story travel along until he had a fair opportunity to give it a broadside, and then replied as follows: 'In the first place, I never attempted to influence my wife in her views, nor her choice of a meeting; secondly, my wife did not attend the meeting in question; in the third place, I did not attend the meeting myself. To conclude, neither my wife nor myseli had any inclination to go to the meeting. Finally, I never had a wife.'"
