We assume that they were Irishmen.

"Elderly Lady Requires Post, as companion, Secretary or any
position of trust, would keep clergyman's wife in Parish,
etc."--_Church Family Newspaper_.
But the difficulty with the parson's wife in some parishes, we are
told, is just the reverse of this.

"Duck and drake (wild) wanted; must be tame."--_Scotsman_.
We dislike this frivolity in a serious paper.

THE MUD LARKS.
Albert Edward and I are on detachment just now. I can't mention what
job we are on because HINDENBURG is listening. He watches every move
made by Albert Edward and me and disposes his forces accordingly. Now
and again he forestalls us, now and again he don't. On the former
occasions he rings up LUDENDORFF, and they make a night of it with
beer and song; on the latter he pushes the bell violently for the old
German god.
The spot Albert Edward and I inhabit just now is very interesting;
things happen all round us.
