A good scheme--light it first and fight it afterwards.

"Supposing a wolf were to attack you and your family, what
would you do?--Mr. Hedderwick.

"I would point out that season tickets are issued by
railway companies only as an act of grace.--Sir William
Forbes."--_The Star_.

Our contemporary heads this "Words Winged To-day."

From "A Word to the Churches," by Miss MARIE CORELLI:--

"'A word' of solemn warning was uttered by the Angel of
the Seven Spirits to the Church in Sardis....

"And this 'word' was fulfilled to the letter, for, as Herodotus
tells us, 'Sardis was taken and utterly sacked.'"--_Daily
Graphic_.

We fancy the passage must occur in Book X., in which we also find
the famous account of the capture of Timbuctoo by the Roman Emperor
Montezuma in the fourth Punic War--or was it the fifth Crusade?
