An Odd Comparison
SIR WILLIAM B---- being at a parish meeting, made some proposals, which
were objected to by a farmer. Highly enraged, Sir, says he to the
farmer, do you know, sir, that I have been at the two universities, and
at two colleges in each university?--Well, sir, said the farmer,
what of that? I had a calf that sucked two cows, and the observation I
made was, the more he sucked, the greater calf he grew.
