A Lone HoRsE.-A traveller who rode a
horse of large size, and especially of I'M
common length, lately stopped at public
house in the western part of Massachusetts,
and ordered his steed to be put in the stable.
Feeling anxious for the comfort of his four

the hostler il he had put up his horse as he
directed. ''Why, yes" said Curycomb,
"I've put up one eend of him." zone end
of him!' exclaimed the traveller, Sand what
have you done with the other eend, as you
call it?" "Why, hang me-" said the host
Ter, elf could get the whole of him into the
stable, so | left the other eend in the cr-
chard.''
Some time ago an Irishman was convic-
ted of felony, and sentenced to death. On
the day it was to be carried into effect he
received a reprive, his innocence having,
after his trial, been satisfactorily established.
The poor fellow had wife, terrible vi
ken, who lived at distance, and whose
presence he dreaded more than death; and
in the hope of accomplishing final sepera-
ton, he wrote to her the day after he re-
ceived the reprieve, to the following effect:
and died like man; no more at present
from your loving husband, till death does us
part. ~. Y. Mirror.
