My heart bleeds for yon. Come round to the kitchen door”—the tramp rose, with joy on his face —“ come round at once —the grass is longer there 1“ A clergyman twice refused to many a couple who came bef»re him, because on both occasions the bridegroom was intoxicated. The clergyman said to the bride: “ I cannot understand why you come to church with a man, who is to be your husband, in a state like this." The young woman burnt into tears and said : ,"1 cannot help it, sir. Ho won’t come when he’s sober!” Sir Thomas Lipton lias definitely announced that he intends to mako a fourth attempt to win the America Cup.
