All men are doomed to earn their bread
By toll from day TO day;
But here and there is some one now
Who has a better way.
He 5hrewdly looks about him and
Proceeds to form trust
And then, while others earn his bread,
He to5ses them the crust.

A sydney Smith story.


Sydney Smith willingly assisted his
neighbors in their clerical duties, and
an anecdote of one of those occasions is
still current In the district, the authen-
ticity of which is not vouched for. but
which seems good enough to be true.
He dined with the incumbent on the
preceding Saturday and the evening
passed In great hilarity. the squire, by
name Kershaw, being conspicuous for
mis- loud enjoyment OF tho strangers
jokes. 1 am very glad that l have
amused you," said Mr.. Sydney Smith at
parting, "but you must not laugh at
my sermon tomorrow" II should hope
know the difference between being
here or at church." remarked the gen.
tleman with some sharpness. 81 am
not so sure CT that" replied the visitor.
"I'll bet you guinea on IL" said the
squire. Take you." replied the divine.
The preacher ascended the steps OF tha
pulpit, apparently suffering from Sc
we're cold, with his handkerchief to his
face, and at once sneezcd out the name
"Kershaw" several tines, in various in
donations. This ingenious assumption
of the readiness with which a man
would recognize his own name In
sounes impcrceptible to the ears of the
others proved accurate. The poor gen.
tleman burst into a guffaw to the
scandal Of the congregation, and the
minister, after looking at him with
stern reproach. proceeded with the die
course and won the bet.
