The Parson's Suggestion.
It is related of a famous English clergyman that when presiding at a meeting where the necessity of wood-paving a street in his parish was under discussion he became greatly disgusted at the want of intelligence displayed by many of those present. Finally, unable to control the annoyance which a more than usually frivolous objection occasioned him, he said:
"Gentlemen, do not let us discuss the matter further. You have only to put your heads together and the thing is done at once."
