Prime's Preservative


SERGEANT PRIME had a remarkably long nose, and being one day out riding,

was flung from his horse, and fell upon his face in the middle of the

road. A countryman, who saw the occurrence, ran hastily up, raised the

sergeant from the mire, and asked him if he was much hurt. The sergeant

replied in the negative. I zee, zur, said the rustic, grinning, yer

ploughshare saved ye!
