Won't Take Twenty Dollars.

Some waggish students at Y ale College,
a few years since, were regaling them
selves one evening at the Tontine, when
an old farmer from the country entered
the room (taking it for bar-room) and
inquired if he could obtain lond ging there
The fellow, who was shrewd Yankee,
saw at once that he was to be made the
butt OF their jests; but quietly taking off
his hat, and telling worthless little dog
he had with him, to lie under the chair, be
took glass of proffered beverage. The
students anxiously inquired after the
health of the old mans wife and children,
and the farmer with affected sympathy
gave them the whole pedigree, with nu-
merous anecdotes regarding his farm,
stock, &c.
DO you belong to church, asked one
of the wags.
Yes, the Lord be praised, and so did
my father before me-
well / suppose you would not tell
lie, replied the student.
Not for the World
'Now, what will you take for that dog!
pointing to the farmers cur, who was not
worth his weight in Jersey mud.
Iwon't take twenty dollars for that dog.
Twenty dollars why he is not worth
twenty cents
well, assure you would not take
twenty dollars for him.
Come, my friend said the student,
who with his companions was bent on
having some capital fun with the old
man, Now you say you wont tell lie for
the world, let me see if you will not do it
for twenty dollars. I'll give you twenty
dollars for your dog
I'll not take it,
You will notl Here, let me see If this
won't tempt you to lie,' added the student,
producing a small bag of half dollars,
from which he com menced counting nu-
merous small piles upon the table. The far
mer was sitting by the table with his hat
in his hand, apparently unconcerned.
The old farmer quietly raised his hat
to the edge of the table, and then, as
quick as thought, scraped all the money
into it except one half dollar, and then
exclaimed
I won't take your twenty dollars -
Nineteen and a half is as much as the
dog is worth; he is your propertyP
A tremendous laugh from his fellow
students showed the would -be-wag that
he was completely 'rowed up and that he
need not look for help from that quarter;
SO he good naturedly acknowledged beat.
The student retained his dog which he
keeps TO this day as lesson to him new
er to attempt to play tricks on men older
than himself, and especially how he tried
to wheedle Yankee farmer.

a Outehman and the Indians.

An amusing incident is related by the
Galveston Gazette of a German in that
vicinity who penned his horses at night
for safety. Recently he was aroused from
his slumbers by the jingling of bells; he
Immediately arose from bed, and discoy-
ed that the redskins were driving off his
horses in hurry. Hens greatly excited,
mounted his feet bobtailed pony, without
any weapons-pantess, coatless, shoeless
and hatless, and with the extremity of
his unmentionable cutting pigeon wings
in the air, made hotpursuit for the thieves,
shouting vociferously in his native tongue,
to stop or he would scald and roast eve
cry mothers son of themr The indians,
who were some ten or fifteen in number,
supposing that they we're pursued by
regiment of Texan Rangers, or the DEVILS
imp, took fright, and left in hurry, re-
gardless of booty, leaving not only the
horses they had taken, but two very fine
horses of their own, together with arms
of different kinds, which were found next
day scattered along for about mile, and
from the trail made, their horses must
have been hurried to their utmost speed,
for no doubt they thought their "Gay Of
grace" was up.
