Gleanings
A man in the country, a few days ago, led a blooming widow to the altar. The clergyman looked at the bridegroom, and said -"Sir, I think you have a wife living." "Have I, do you think?" replied the man. "I am sure you have," rejoined the parson. "I really, sir," said the fellow, "have a very bad memory, and I thank you for jogging it. I now recollect something of it."
The following question is said by the New York Era to have created much excitement in a debtaing institution: -"what is the difference between there being conscience enough in all women, and women enough in all conscience?" After three weeks' discussion, the president decided "there was a difference, but wherein it consisted he was quite uncertain."
