A Disadvantage of Health.

A visitor among the poor on the east side of the city found unexpected testimony to the disadvantages of health during one of her recent calls. Mrs. B. has a family of a dozen children, and, like most of her class, she had her tale of woe to tell. “How are the children, Mrs. B.?" inquired the caller “All very well, indeed, ma'am, very well, indeed." “You ought to be thankful, I’m sure, with so much .sickness all about.” “Yes, ma’am: I suppose I ought to be thankful—but. I tell you, ma’am, when they’re well they eat an awful lot.”— New York Tribune.
