AN EQUIVOCAL INVITATION.
One of Sir Boyle Roche's invitations to an 1 Irish nobleman was amusingly equivocal. " I hope my lord, if 'you ever come within a mile of my house that you'll stay there all night." Nor was bis rebuke td his shoemaker, when he had the gout, wanting in natural humour. ' ' Oh you're a precious block* cad to do directly . the leyerse of what, I desired you. I told you to make one of tbe shoes larger than the other, and, instead of that, fcyou have made, one of them smallet ' ' than the other — the ' very opposite."
