ANECDOTE WITHA MORAL.

THE LAST OF THE MoHi GANs--The Mo

who lived about Norwich, Ct. They had
long lines of kings in the family OF
Uucas. One Of tire last was Zachary; but
lie was great drunkard. But a sense of
the dignity of his off ce came over him,
and he resolv ed lie would drink no more.
Just before the annual election, he vas
accustomed to go every year TO Lebanon,
and dine with his brother Governor, the
irst Gov. Trnmbull, One OF the Govern
and thought he would try him, and see if
he would stick 10 his cold water. So at
table he said to the old chef:-'Zachary,
this beer is excellent: will you taste III
The old man dropped his knify, learned

NAVAL ANECDOTE.

Shortly before the declaration of the
war of 1912 against Great Britain, Cap
tain commanded ship which sailed
from the United States to Portsmouth,
England. by way of the Wes, Indies. A
number IF British naval officers. sta toned
at one ofthe West India islands had been
ordered home and took passage in his ship
Conversation during the voyage turned
frequently upon the prospect of war be
tween the two countries. ~ said the
| English officer, 'war should take place,
we shall capture every ship in the Amer'-
can navy 1t is impossible that we should
| fail, To this accustomed braggadocio Of
John Bull, the Captain simply repleS,
'Gentlemen, you may live 10 End your
selves dsappointed.' This English spirit
of boasting was kept up during the entire
voyage, without, however. disturbing
friendly feelings. They reached Ports
mouth in safety, but had only been there
few weeks when the startling news arr
rived that Hull had taken the English
frgate G0erriere, commanded by Gaps
tain Dacres. The day after the reception
Of the news, the old Captain purchased
white hat, small clot hes. etc, and went
to the Navy Yard to which his passengers
had been ordered.
He found them grouped together, TALK
ing over the setious news Good morn,

Some men ascribe all their unhappiness
to the narrowness of their means; but
place them in the immediate enjoyment
Of all that enters within the circle of their
present hopes and desires, and they will
no sooner have entered upon the enrap-
rapturing possessions, than new hopes aud
desires, willbegin TO manifest themselves.
You cannot place man in such situas
ton that he will not look above il and
beyond it;give him the whole Of this world
and like the hero of Macedon, he will en-
quire for another.

FRENCH WIT.

The following Parissian apecdote is thld
in the New York Tribune. 1t is capital.
An orator who had probably taken a
drop too much at dinner, mounted the tfi-
bune at one Of the Clubs, and declared
that to save the country, he demanded
thirty thousand heads. Bursts Of laughter
and Kisses followed with the cry of "huss
tie him out,' and the orator disappeared
among the crowd. y
Another then took his place on the iris
bune, and said, gentlemen, like the last
speaker, also demand thirty thousand
heads" . q,
The storm began again; but the orator,
whose features wore the most pacific as
pect, manifested by an expressive gesture

ed to listen, and he continued:
"You have not caught my idea. IL Il
demand thirty thosand heads, it is not to

such thought, You will appreciate my
intentions bettes when you understand
who am. l am halter; and il is in the
way Of trade that address my humble re-
quest to you. Ifyou will deliver to me
thirty thousand heads, l will deliver 10
them thirty thousand hats, and my fortune
Will be made"
Bursts oflaughter followed this speech,
and taking advantage of the good humor
SO skilfully excited, the witty halter drew
several handfulls of his buciness cards from
bis pockets, and from the elevation of the
tribune, distributed them among the as~
