the first water. Mr.. Prentices wit is perennial,
always ready for the OCCASION less apt in its appH
cation than pointed n its sting and though infinite in
variety, never forced artificial. He says good
thing, not because he wishes to do So but because he
can't help it. His humcr has nionotony snd never
tres Even collected in these ample pages does not
make you feel that you have too much fit; but,
the contrary every fresh explosion is surprise AMI
enjoyment. Never before have the unprecedented
escspades OF daily journalist been gathered into
volume, which by the vitality of its contents promised
to be of so long date as the present.
