“No Physic, Sir, in Mine!”

A good story conies from a boys’ boardingschool in “Jersey.” The diet was monotonous and constipating, and the learned Principal decided to introduce some old-style physic in the apple-sauce, and await the happy results. Ono bright lad, the smartest in school, discovered the secretmine in his sauce, and pushing hack his plate, shouted to the pedagogue, “No physic, sir, in mine. My dad told me to use nuthin’ but Dr. Pierce’s ‘Pleasant Purgative Pellets,’ and they are doing their duty like a charm!” They are anti-bilious, and 'purely vegetable. Mrs. Sudden Rich says that she writes a diphthong between “Sudden” and “Ilich ” now.— Boston Journal.
