I overheard a delightful retort in a railway carriage on the Paris Ceintnre (the suburban railway) the other afternoon. writes a correspondent in the London Express. My fellow travellers were an elderly priest and three young men. •who had the had taste to chaff him. The priest was evidently curate of a small country parish, and had both the ess and the shrewdness of the count ryma n. "Have you heard the news’” one of the young men asked the cure. "No, he replied. “I left- home early, and have been out all day, so that I have had no time to read my paper.” ••Mell, then,” said the young man, "you will lie glad to hear that the devil is dead." His companion roared with laughter at the poor joke, but the laugh turned against the joker when the priest, producing half a franc from his pocket, said: — "Mill you accept this, my friend; We are told to be kind to the orphan."
