CHARACTERISTIC CORRESPONDENCE.

The following notes actually passed between two (_now_) celebrated
comedians:--

Dear J----, Send me a shilling.
Yours, B----,
P.S.--On second thoughts, make it _two_.

To which his friend replied--

Dear B----, I have but one shilling in the world.
Yours, J----,
P.S.--On second thoughts, I want that for dinner.
