A Long Illness


A CLERGYMAN in the country taking his text from the fourteenth verse of

the third chapter of St. Matthew: And Peter's wife's mother lay sick of

a fever, preached three Sundays on the same subject. Soon after, two

country fellows going across a churchyard, and hearing the bell toll,

one asked the other who it was for? I can't exactly tell, replied he;

but it may be for Peter's wife's mother, for she has been sick of a

fever these three weeks.
