A gentleman was one day relating to a Quaker a tale of deep
distress, and concluded very pathetically by saying, “I could
not but feel for him.” “Verily, friend,” replied the Quaker,
“thou didst right in that thou didst feel for thy neighbor,
but didst thou feel in the right place--didst thou feel in thy
pocket?” (Text.)
