~Salary.~--Other rules vary; this is the only one you will find without
exception: That in this world the salary or reward is always in the
inverse ratio of the duties performed.--_Sydney Smith._
~Sarcasm.~--A true sarcasm is like a sword-stick--it appears, at first
sight, to be much more innocent than it really is, till, all of a
sudden, there leaps something out of it--sharp and deadly and
incisive--which makes you tremble and recoil.--_Sydney Smith._
~Satire.~--To lash the vices of a guilty age.--_Churchill._
