A Magdalene.—–­A French bishop preaching, exclaimed, “A Magdalene is present, she is looking at me, I will not mention her name, but I will throw my book at her.”  He then raised his arm as if to put his threat into execution, when all the women in the church ducked their heads.  “What,” said he, “all Magdalenes.”  SWAINE.

Unwelcome Title.—­Charles Incledon, the vocalist, being asked if he had ever read Murray’s Sermons to Asses, replied, “he had not, he did not like the book, the title was too personal.”
