Haunu Aue Pensions.

ties, .honors. riches, pensions and most
other good things are, as rule, post

that three had previously been born

late to change"
Make no change" said her hus-

The essayist had the post of honor
at the right of the lady of the house,
and she presented him With a dish of
the peaches. After a while she said
to him, "Dr. c., won't you allow me
to give you some more of these
peaches?"
Thank you." he replied. "They are
excellent"
A little later she said, "Dr. c..
may l not give you another peach? -
"No, I thank you." said he apollo
getcally, "but will take little more
