A GOOD REASON.
A Scotsman went one evening to call upon an old friend, who received him in. a rocking-chair. The visitor "was surprised that his host did not rise to greet him, but continued to rock backwards and forwards in the chair. “Ye’re not ill, are ye inon?” he asked. “No, Mae, I’m quite well,” replied the other. There was a moment’s silence, while Alae stared at the rocking figure with a puzzled expression. ‘•'Then why re ye behavin’ like that mon ?" . His friend explained: — “Ye know Allister, the jeweller? Well, he sold me a silver watch cheap, an’ if I stop rocking like this., you watch | winna go.” tiiimitHHitHiii i ifiHiijiiiuiKiHuniiuituiu Hhiiuiuttuiittii
