A Fair Exchange.

The Hon. Joseph H. Coate tells of a meeting at a London club of a Bishop and Lord Rosebery. During the course of their conversation the reverend gentleman observed tdAhia Lordship: "I’ve an invitation to. dine this evening. What a nuisance it is—a long dinner, I mean. There are two things I absolutely dread—a Jong dinner and a long sermon. I contend that, however good they may be, neitheY the dinner nor the sermon should take more than twenty minutes at the most.” Rosebory smiled. "It seems to me,” he said, "that the matter might be nicely arranged by knocking ten minutes off the sermon and putting it on the dinner.” —Harper’s Weekly.
