Curran,s Ingenuity.

A farmer attending fair with a
hundred pounds in his pocket, took the
precaution Of depositing il in the hands
Of the landlord Of the public house sI
which he stopped. Having occasion
for il Afterwards, he TesoTted TO mine
host for payment; but the landlord, too
deep for the countryman. whondered
what he meant, and was quite sure no
such sum had ever been lodged in his
hands by the sstonished rustic. After
Intellectual appeals TO the recollection,
and finally to the honor OF BaTdol phi, the
farmer applied to Curran for advice.
"Hsve patience. ny FRIEND" said the
counsel; "spesk to the landlord ciVilly;
tell him you have left your money with
some other person. Take friend with
you, and lodge another hundred in the
presence Of your friend, unL then come

He did 50, and returned to his legal
friend.
"And now don't see how am 60.
Ing TO be better off for :his, IL get my
second hundred back again, but how is
that to be donei"
"Go and ask him for IL when he is
alone, said the counsel.
"Aye, sir. asking won't do. I'm afraid
without my witness atany rate"
"Never mind, take my advice" sait
the counsel; "dO as | bid you, and return
10 me-"
The farmer returned with his hundred
glad indeed TO find that safely in hi
possession.
"Now, sir, must be content, but
don't see that am much better off,"
"Well them" said the counsil. NOV
take your friend with you, and ask you
