WHY CABBY WEPT.
A cabman once drove a lady and her little girl from Euston to Charing Cross. On the way a particle of dust entered the eye of the driver, causing him considerable annoyance. On arriving at their destination the lady gave the cabby just the bare fare, and then, this being the first opportunity the cabman had. he took out his handkerchief and attempted to extract the cause of his pain. The little girl, perceiving this, spoke a few words to her mother, and then ran back to the Jehu, saying: “Please, cabby, mother says you are not to ery; here is another sixpence.”
