A Short Memory.

WHEN the great Jonathan Edwards was out riding one day a little boy opened a gate for him. "Whose boy are you, my little man?" asked the great theologian. "Noah Clarke's boy, sir," was the answer. On the return of Edwards soon after, the same boy appeared and opened the gate again. The great theologian thanked him, and asked: "Whose boy are you, my little man?" to which the urchin replied: "Noah Clarke's boy, sir; the same man's boy I was a quarter of an hour ago, sir."
