It is not Turkey that gains an advantage

A dispute arose between three noble
men, one Irish, one Scotch, and the other
English, as to the respective traits of their
respective countrymen.-A wager was
laid, the Irish were the wittiest, the
Scotch most cunning, and the English
most frank. They agreed to walk out
in the streets of London, and the first one
of either nation met, should be inquired
of as to what hs would take, and stand
watch all night in the tower of st. Paul's
church; pretty soon John Bull came
along, and was accosted thus -
"What will you take, and stand all
night in the tower OF st. PauPs ?''

Last, but not least, Patrick was inquir-
ed of as to what he would take, and
stand all night in ST. Pauls tower. To
which Pat wittily answered -
"An sure, an l think 1 should take
a devil of cold % The wager was
won.
