The Moral Sentiment故事
            A PUGILIST met the Moral Sentiment of the Community, who was
            carrying a hat-box.  "What have you in the hat-box, my friend?"
            inquired the Pugilist.
            "A new frown," was the answer.  "I am bringing it from the frownery
            - the one over there with the gilded steeple."
            "And what are you going to do with the nice new frown?" the
            Pugilist asked.
            "Put down pugilism - if I have to wear it night and day," said the
            Moral Sentiment of the Community, sternly.
            "That's right," said the Pugilist, "that is right, my good friend;
            if pugilism had been put down yesterday, I wouldn't have this kind
            of Nose to-day.  I had a rattling hot fight last evening with - "
            "Is that so?" cried the Moral Sentiment of the Community, with
            sudden animation.  "Which licked?  Sit down here on the hat-box and
            tell me all about it!"
