A Diplomatist.

“Madam,” said a woman addressing the matron of a charity hospital, “can you lend me eight ragged children this afternoon ?” “Eight ragged children! What do you want with them?” “Well, you see my husband is in the penitentiary and I want to get him pardoned. Want the children to go with me when I call on the Governor.”— Arkansaw Traveler. Thackeray says a woman may be loved for three things—her intellect, her beauty, or her qualities of heart. A man who recently married a rich wife says she might also be loved for her bank account.
