Without Price.

When Bonamy Price, the English economist, was in Washington several years since he dined with Secretary Bobeson, when President and Mrs. Grant were present, and proposed, much to his host’s dislike, that each one should write down his or her 1 ideas about heaven, which he intended to

compare, and, by showing how they differed, prove that there was no such place. The situation was becoming alarming, especially to the ladies, and the hostess was about to give the signal to leave the table, when Mr. Robeson, out of patience, arose and thus addressed the Professor: “I have an idea of heaven, and have written it down. ‘Heaven is a place without money and without Price.’ ”
