EVERYBODY HAPPY.
; A man met a woman carrying,a young baby. As the woman was crying bitterly he stopped and inquired what was the trouble: She replied that sue had brought her baby to be christened, but the clergyman would not perform the ceremony without his fee, and she had no money. The man told her not to be distressed, and handed her a pound note.. "Now, go along at 6nce," he said, "have your baby christened, and bring me back the change. * When she returned with.the money she thanked her- benefactor. "That's all right," he said.,"We should try to do all the good we can in this world. Now we are all happy. The parson has his fee, so he's happy; you've had your baby christened, so you're happy: and I've got rid 6£ a bad note, so I'm happy." . .
