one before "Good night."
But the prettiest girl resented that

years, and during: that time you have

An Unconscious Toast.
Lord Clyde one day after dinner asked
a chaplain to one of the regiments
in India for a toast, who. after considering
some time, at length exclaimed,
with great simplicity:
"Alas and alack a day! What can I
give?"
"Xothitig better," replied his lordship.
"Come, gentlemen; we'll give a bumper
to the parson's toast 'A lass and a lac
a day.'"
A lac means 100,000 rupees, or $25,000.
which is certainly an Income to
make one happy.?London Chronicle.

"It's all very well," said Grouch, "to
talk about forgiving your enemies, but
it's not easy to do."
"You're right," replied Dubley. "We
shouldn't be expected to forgive our
enemies except when they freely adL
mit that they don't deserve our forI
.glveness." ? Catholic Standard and
