Quite Appropriate

A book peddler, who was wearing a small circular piece of plaster on his face, removed it while shaving a few mornings since, and replaced it when his toliet -was made. Contrary to his usual expert ence, as he went about his business during the rest of the day he was everywhere received with smiles which grew broader and broader, until at last somebody laughed in his face. Led by this to look in the glass, he was somewhat taken aback to discover that, instead of the court plaster, he had affixed to his face a little round printed label which had fallen from the > back of a new mantel clock purchased the day before, and -which bore the appropriate inscription, “Warranted solid brass.”—Yankee Blade.
