About the beginning of the cen-
tury, a waggish Scotehman,. 011 going
into a general store and being told
that they sold everything there,
asked if they hail a copy of the
Bible revised aud corrected by the
author. So witty ' Was his question
considered, that notwithstanding its
wiokednesa,it has been handed
down as ono of the funniest things
a Scotohman had been known to
say up to that time. But' such has'
been '.tile advance of civilization
during this 19th century, and so
great have been the improvements
made on both the wit and wicked-
ness of past times, that you can go
