Pretty Good.

There is a fable among the Hindoos that
a thief, having been detected and condemned
to die, thought upon an experiment by which
he might be rescued from death. He sent
for the jailor, and told him he had secret
to disclose to the King and when he had
done so he would be ready to die. The
King sent for him to know what the secret
was. He told him he knew the art OF
producing trees that should bear gold. The
king accompanied by his prime minister,
courtiers, and priests, came with thief to q
certain spot where they began their in
carnations. The thiefthen produced tree,
every branch of which should bear gold.-
But added he, this must be put in the
ground by person perfectly honest. am
not so, and therefore pass it to your Majesty.
The king replied: 'When | was a boy l
remember taking something from my faith
er, which although a triae, prevents me
from being the proper person. pass it,
therefore, to my prime minister The
latter said: receive the taxes Of the peo-
pie, and as | am exposed to many tempta-
tions, how can | be perfectly honest ? I
therefore give it to the priest The priest
pleaded the same as to his conduct in re-
ceiving the sacrifices At length the thief
exclaimed: know not why we should not
all four be hanged, since not one of us is
honest The king was so pleased at the
ingenuity Of the thief that he granted him a
pardon.

singular fact deserving of notice, that the
inventor of the guillotine was its first VIC
