Gould Hardly Believe His Eyes.

A well-known lawyer, when about to start on a railway journey, found that the clerk had given him a shilling too mneh. He accordingly returned to the booking office, and, informing the clerk of his mistake, handed back the money. For a moment the clerk stood speechless, then recovering himself, exclaimed : “Please stand still one moment and let me look at yon.” After a pause, he added, in an awe-stricken voice, “and a lawyer, too!” Because a wife does not speak out against some of your habits is no proof that they do not make her unhappy. It is an impossibility for any man or any number of men to put asunder what God hath really joined together.
