"Good" of the Gibbet.

A miserable Creature stole a watch under the gibbet at the late hanging. Alderman Humphery, on the Bench, said—"You came out to witness the execution of a fellow-creature, but it does not appear to have done you any good." How odd! Certainly, no good: for the thief, with his hand upon the watch, only thought of time, the hangman vainly preaching eternity.


When!—When a woman listens to you, she is criticising you.
