Mrs. Smith.—"Is Mrs. Brown in?"
Jane.—"No, Mem, she's not at Home."
Little Girl.—"Oh! what a horrid Story, Jane! Mar's in the Kitchen, helping Cook!"
PENALTIES.
The Penalty of buying cheap clothes, is the same as that of going to law, the certainty of losing your suit, and having to pay for it.
The Penalty of marrying is a mother-in-law.
The Penalty of remaining single, is having no one who "cares a button" for you, as is abundantly proved by the state of your shirts.
The Penalty of thin shoes, is a cold.
