1. T3ie Bishop and the Duke.
A celebrated French bishop was the son of a
tallow-chandler. A proud duke once endeavoured to mortify the
prelate, by saying that he smelt of tallow, to which the other
replied: »My Lord, I am the son of a chandler, ’tis true, and
if your Lordship had been the same, you would have
remained a tallow-chandler all the days of your life».
2. Spring.
The flowers are blooming everywhere,
On every hill and dell,
And oh, how beautiful they are,
How sweetly do they smell!
The little birds now hop along,
And look so glad and gay;
I love to hear their pleasant song,
I feel as glad as they.
The young lambs bleat and frisk about,
The bees hum round the hive,
The butterflies are coming out:
’Tis good to be alive.
3. The Alchemist.
An alchemist having dedicated a book to Pope Leo the
Tenth, wherein he pretended to teach a method of making
gold, expected to receive a magnificent present for that book.
But the Pope sent him only a large empty purse, with his
compliment, that, since he knew how to make gold, he wanted
nothing but a purse to put it in.
