Esop was once sent to market by his
master, who had invited some company
10 dinner, with orders to buy the best
things be could find. He returned home
with a basket Of tongues, and upon being
reproved for his bad taste, in selecting
such a dinner for company, insisted upon
it that he had literally obeyed his instruc-
tions, for that tongues were the best things
in the world. BY them it was that truths
were promulgated, and f~alsehoods de,
nounced. He might even gone so far as TO
have said that some Of the wisest lessons
in his books of fables, had it been then
written, were pronounced by the tongues
Of goats, sheep, and other animals. His
master, in a rage, told him TO 60 back and
purchase the worst things he could find in
the market , and to his establishment, on
Esop's return. he found that bis basket
was a again loaded with tongues, which
he insisted were the worst things in the
world, especially when employed in fiat
terry, hypocrisy and deceit.

The Bitter BIr.-Not many years since
a country merchant, who was in the habit
Of visiting this city several times in the
course Of the year, TO purchase goods-on
his way home stopped alta public house not
a thousand miles from here, and being out
of health, called for a cup flea and some
toast, for which he was charged al enor-
nous price. He paid the demand, but
determined to have satisfaction for the ex-
tortion. He had at this time a teamster
in his employment, who was capable Of
eating more than any other three men in
the state. and he concluded that if he
should dine at the tavern at the common
price, it would about make the account G.
ven. Accordingly Jehu. being let into
the secret, stopped at the tavern on his
next trip, and bargained for a dinner, for
which he was TO pay twenty five cents
The usual quantity Of food was placed on
the table, but in a few minutes a call was
! made for more-this call was repeated,
! until all the cooked meat in the house was
| disposed Of. Boniface then produced a
whole cheese, and a large loaf Of bread,
and thinking it time to get rid Of his custo-
mer, turned the horses heads from the
| door, and set them off at a smart trot and
| communicated the fact to his patron, who
| smelling the rat, received the intelligence
very coolly, took the cheese in one hand
| and the loaf Of bread in the other, and
comforted Boniface with the assurance
that he thought he could catch 'em.
