AN UNGRACIOUS SPEECH.
The Scot had married for the second time. His new mate was sentimental and a little morbid. She could not resist asking her husband now and then if he loved her better than he had loved her predecessor. She would say : “Do I more than fill Jean’s place in your heart, Jock ?” “Arc you share ye’re no regrettin’ Jean, laddie ?’’ , “Jock, do you love me better nor her ?” The man bore several of those examinations patiently. Then he ended them once for ail with a grub’ ,“Tak’ ma word for it, lietty, if. Jean was livin’ yc wadna be here.’’
