Humorous Reading.
aThe Twelve Pound Chunk.n

A returned Californian relates the following
good one.
The landlord Of hotel. built of boards, and
located near the Tekulk Diggings, was present
ed BY his vile with twelve pound boy, which,
coming TO The ears Of a wag. he circulated the
story that the host found a twelve pound
chunk which ran like Wld-ere through the
place, and caused quite an excitement A few
weeks Afterwards a miner from another quar-.
ter having heard Of the twelve-pOund chunk,
arrived a the hotel, aad at once made appliea.
ton to the landlady for lodging. Her hss-
band being absent, she attended to the guest,
when the following conversation took place.
which should be prefaced by the remark that
the story had exploded several days before his
arrival aud The lspdlady had enjoyed the sell
with the rest.
!. was your husband, ma'am, wasn't it,
who got the twelve pound chunk?'
'He had some help, believe replied she,
with sly laugh.
yes, l s'POse so. Where was he dig
gingF'
'0h, that's a secret
Yes, s'pOse it H. replied the MINER
'He thinks he'll get another there, don't he?'
Il don't know that he thinks, but know he
won't
4 shouldn't think it improbable, although it's
possible
so they say
The miner here paused awhile, and, at last,
after some reflection, he said
dispose the chunks gone, amt it?'
'0h, no, it's in the other room. Would
you like to see it''
We'll, should but faint laying around
loose, is it?
Not exactly said the landlady, throwing
open the door, for there it is in the CRADLE
The miner bent over, when pair of chub-
by fists were extended, aud giving the jolly
landlady one look, he left for parts unknown.
