ORIGINAL ANECDOTE.

Not long ago,a young freshman, from
one of'he districts in that country where
animal food is luxury rather heard of
han enjoyed by the peasantry, was en-
plol ed as laborer by an opu'ent farmer,
IN one of our eastern states. Delighted
with his sump,uous fare, and casting back
his reco!lections 10 the polatoe. feasts of
the warm. hearted friends he had left in
his naive country, he determined 10
write them letter and scqusint them
with the great improvement of his for
tune. After inditing it in his own way,
he submitted it to his friends fer correc-
ton. How is this, Pal said the farmer,
