TRUE CONSOLATION.

A citizen of Geneva having lost his wife, he, according to the custom of

the country, attended the funeral to the cemetery, which is out of the

city. Somebody meeting him on his return from this painful ceremony,

assumed a sorrowful countenance, and in the tenderest manner possible,

asked him how he did. "Oh," replied the widower, "I am very well at

present; this little walk has set me up; there is nothing like country

air."
