QUICK WITTED.
A lecturer who protested against
people going to sleep during his dis
il'iisitions on heathen lands, would,
if he perceived any tendency in that
direction, introduce some queer or
startling statement to revive their
staggering attention. On one occa
sion, when his audience seemed rather
somnolent, he thundered out; "All,
you have no idea of the suffering of
Englishmen in Central America, u
account of the enormous misquito. -s.
A great many of these pests would
weigh a pound, and they will get on
the logs and bark as the white m u
are passing.”
By this time all ears and eyes wore
wide open, and he proceeded to
finish his lecture. The next day he
was called upon to account for his
extraordinary statements. "But I
didn’t say one mosquito would weigh ,
a pound,” he protested; "I said a" *
great many of them would. 1 think
perhaps a million of them might do
so.” “But you said they bark at the
missionaries,” persisted his interim
cutor. “No no, my dear sir; I said
Ihey would get on the logs and on
the bark. You misunderstood me.”
