Utilitarian

1895

A certain esteemed clergyman whose church is in the most attractive part of the city, but Who for present purposes must remain nameless, was fooling a little "pardonable pride" in having succeeded, after years of soliciting, in raising enough money to provide his church with a set of chimes.

As every one took the first occasion to congratulate him it was quite natural that on meeting Mrs. Blunt, one of his most fashionable parishioners, he should say in his happy enthusiasm: "And how do you like the new chimes, Mrs. Blunt? You must be glad to hear those good old hymns at night. They must remind you" —

"Yes," she interrupted, "that is so. Since the chimes began I've taken my medicine quite regularly." — Boston Budget.
