A Tedious Preacher

: Miscellaneous.

Mr. Canning was once asked by an English clergyman how
he liked the sermon he had preached before him. "Why, it was a short

sermon," quoth Canning. "Oh yes," said the preacher; "you know I avoid

being tedious." "Ah, but," replied Canning, "you _were_ tedious."
