A POSER FROM A Cumn.--A boy asked one of
his father's guests who his next door neighbour was,
and when he heard his name, asked him if the gentle-
man was not a fool. " No, my little friend," said the
guest, " he ,is no fool, but a very sensible man ; but
why do you ask the question ?"" Why," said the little
boy, "my mother said, the other day, you were next
door to a fool, and I wanted to know who lived next
door to you,"
