A littto nonsense vov and then. Is relished by tbf vieest men.
When the triangle bad called the meeting to order, the coloured master of ceremonies rose with his usual sleekness : " Gem'len, if it wasn't for de wheels on de wagin, de wagin wouldn't move; when de wheels am on, den what ?" " Grease !" solemnly answered a brudder in the rear. " K'rect ! We hez de wagin au' de wheels. We will now pass de hat aroun for de grease." "Hello, I say there, what'r yer looking for ?" asfeed a street loafer the other day of a young man who was rooting abont the rubbish in the gutter. "Oh, I'm trying to find a shilling," tho youag man replied. About five minutes ufter a party of about fourte9n wero helping tliat young man to, look for a shilling. "By the way," at length asked the street loafer, "wheie did you drop your shilling ?" " Drop my shilling," exchimed the youn » man ; "why I haven't a shilling to drop. I said I was trying to find one, thinking I might chance on a stray one." That young man now curries his anu in a sling, and his head is bandaged in more places than ono ; he also uses crutches.
