A few years a go, a farmer, who was
noted for waggery. stopped at a tavern,
which he was in the hibit Of stopping at
on his way from H-'o Salem.
The land'ady had got the pot boiling
for dinner, and the cat was washing her
face in the corner. The traveller think
ing it would be a good joke, took off the
pot lid. and while the landladv was ab.
sent put grima lkin,into the pot withthe po-
~tatoes, and then pursued his journey TO sa-
lem. ageaa
The amazement of the landlady may
well be conceived, when on taking mp her
dinner, she discovered the unpalatable adj
dition which was made to 1t. Knowing
well the disposition of her customer, she
had no difficulty in fixing on the agrees
or. and she determined TO be %revenged.
Aware that he would stop en his return
home for a cold bite. the cat was CAREFUL
" dressed. The wag called as was ex-
pected, and pussy was pot on the table
among other cold dishes, but so disguised
that he did not know his old acquaint.

down with a glass of gin. After paying
his bill, he asked the landlady ifshe bad a
cat she could give him, for he was plagued
almost TO death with mice. She said she
could not. for she had lost hers. "Whatp'
