Not Like Boston.
All the anecdotes told in America on , tbc subject of Boston ire attires upon the I presumptuous character of the Bostonian, j who considers Boston the centre of the j universe. Here is one of the many hundreds Max O'Bell heard—A Boston man has lost his wife. As soon as telephonic communication is established between that city and Paradise, he rings and cries—' Hello!' ' Hello!' from the other end. 'Is that you, Artemisia?; 'Yea, dear.' 'Well, my love, and how do you like it up there ?' 'Oh, it's rery nice, of cour?e; but it isn't Boston.'
