Quincy Equal to Chicago.

“My dear,” wrote a Quincy lady who was visiting in Chicago, “one of the pleasures of city life is that I can attend a lecture every night, and you know how I dote on lectures.” And the brute wrote back: “My dear wife, I know you dote on lectures; but, when you are here, Quincy is as good as Chicago. I can not only have one every night, but a couple in the morning before breakfast.” —Chicago Ledger, Mistress (to new servant) —“We have breakfast generallv about 8 o’clock.” New Servant—“Well* mum, if I ain’t down to it don’t wait.”—Harper’s Bazar. 16. To compare our manifold blessings with the trifling annoyances of the day.
