"Misser Saint Paul, would you mind telling me whether you ever got answers to those letters you wrote to the Ephesians?"

I dropt into the post-office this morning for my mail, and just inside the door I found a little boy crying very bitterly. Naturally I asked him the cause of his trouble, and lifting his tear-stained face to mine he said:

"I had two quarters, and a feller come along just now and took one away from me."

"What!" said I, "right here in the post-office?"

"Yes, sir."

"Well, why didn't you tell some one?"

"I did; I hollered, 'Help! help!'" (Said very weakly.)

"Well," I said, "is that as loud as you can holler?"

"Yes, sir."
