London, Dec. 20.  Last Sunday afternoon, the clerk of a
certain chapel not an hundred miles from Johnstreet,
Bedford-Row, after making too free with the juice of the
all-potent grape at dinner, and being rather fatigued from
the avocations of his profession the preceding evening, fell
asleep during the sermon, and did not awake 'till the organ
was playing the last voluntary.  The sound of the organ, it
is supposed, rather disturbed him, and he being probably in
a dream, began singing,-- Ye Warwickshire Lads and Lasses.
