he said was all the monty he had in the
world, and offered it to US to pay for ad.
veriising scoundrel, who, OH his way up
the river, had stolen everything belonging
t. him. We couldn take the poor fellows

until he recalled it to our mint. IN the
presence of some ofhis Congressional COL

his fob, when fellow who claimed to
be a son Ola clergyman in this city, got

When the boat stopped at a landing,
The Invalid protested terrible desire for
milk. and begged Nike to so to a house

But the fellow made such p:teous appeals
IN him that he actually went, and the Boat
left him sure enough, whereupon the IN
valid recovering suddenly, took possession
Of Mikes trunk and all his worldly pos

Nike went to ehopping wood till he got
enough tn take him 10 Louisville, and on
arriving here found. as he expected, that

Without a larihing about him. he went TO
