COMFORTING.
A young- man named Mooney enlisted in the army. After he had been in India for about five months he received a pathetic letter from his parents, which said that if he did not send them some money they would be forced to go to the workhouse. The young man sat down and answered the letter as follows: "Dear Father and Mother,— Try to keep out of the workhouse for six years and seven months, until I come home, and then the three of us will go in together!"
