A clergyman said that he once visited a acly of his parish, who had just lost her husband, in order to offer consolation; and under her earnest inquiries as to the reunion of families in heaven he strongly asserted his belief in that fact, and when she asked with anxiety whether any time Must elapse before friends would be able to find each other in tho next world, ho emphatically said, " No! they will be united at once." He was thinking of the happiness of being able to offer the relief of such a faith, when she broke in upon his meditations by exclaiming sadly," Well, his first wife has got him % this time!" ■ '.'Who was the first man recorded in history who did not pay." said Liston, the actor, who was handing an order to a friend. "Why really I never gave it a thought," replied his friend." Why, i Joseph if course," said Liston; " did not his brothers put him into the pit for nothing."
