'That's a good joke! said Chanticleer; 'no, that will never do; I had rather by half walk home; I'll sit on the box and be coachman, if you like, but I'll not draw. While this was passing, a duck came quacking up and cried out, 'You thieving vagabonds, what business have you in my grounds?

Was ever a philosopher so humorously tender to the intellectual vagabonds, the waifs and strays of the spiritual world!
