There is a grim and ghastly humor -- the humor that is born of a pathetic philosophy -- which now and then strikes me in reading the bright and keen-witted work of our American paragraphers.

It is out of the question in England, because an Englishman cannot poke fun at himself. He cannot joke about an empty flour-barrel.
