The Duke and the Snob.

The following amusing story Of an
English nobleman, recently deceased, is
told by correspondent OF eontempor-
ary. "rhe duke, he says, ''was once
in church when a collection was an
noupced for some charitable object The
plate began to 60 round and the duke
carefully put his hand into his pocket
and took out form, which be laid on
the pew before him, ready to be trans.
ferred to the plate. Beside him sat a
little snob, who, noticing this action,
initiated it by estentatiously laying d
sovereign alongside the ducal ilorin.
This was too much for his Grace, who
dipped his hand into his pocket again
and pulled out another form, which he
laid by the side Of the first. The little
snob followed suit by laying another
sovereign beside the first. His Grace
quietly added third form. which was
capped by third sovereign on the part
OF the little snob. Out came a
fourth form to swell the dukes
donation, and then the little snob
trianphantly laid three sovereigns
at once upon the board. The duke not
to be beaten, produced three forms.
just at this moment the plate arrived.
The little snob took up his handful of
soyereigns, ostentatiously ratified them
into the plate, and then turned dehantly
towards his rival, as il he would say, j
think that takes the shine out Of you.
Fancy his chagrin when the duke, with
a grim smile, put one form into the
plate and quietly swept the remaining
six back into his pocketl"
