Scott gave an Irishman a shilling, when a sixpence would have answered. " Bemember Pat," said Scott, '■ you owe me sixpence." '• May your honour live till I pay you ! " was the reply. Said a pompous husband, who--wife had stolen up behind ami him a kiss—" Madam, I consider such an act indecorous." " Excuse me," said the wife, " I didn't know it was you." Johnson—'• letter be cart ful with your saw. If not ; you'll run into a nail." Jackson—'* Oh I don't care how I use this saw.* It i-n't mine." Johnson —" Whose is it"? " Jackson —" Yours." The oldest mnemonic eurio>itv is that a woman who never knows her own aire knows to half an hour that of all her female frieiuls.
