OUR VILLAGE SOLOMON.
First Rustic. "D'ye 'ear old Daddy Smith's cottage was burnt down last night?"
Second Rustic (of matured wisdom). "I bean't surprised. When I sees the smoke a-coming through the thatch I sez to myself, 'There's seldom smoke without fire.'"
"Required an English or French resident governess for children from 30 to 45 years old, having notions of music."—Standard (Buenos Ayres).
We are glad they have picked up something during their prolonged juvenescence.
