a LUCKY MASON.

There wasonc upon time poor ma
son or bricklayeT in Grenada, who kept
all the Saints days and holidays and St.
Monday in the bargain. and yet with all
this devotion he grew poorer and poorer
and could scarcely earn bread for his nu-
merous family. One night he was aroused
from his first sleep by knocking at the
door. He opened it, and beheld before
him tall, rneagre, cadaverous looking
priest.
"Hark ye, honest friend" said the stran-
ger, 81 have observed tina, you are good
Christian and one to he trusted. will you
undertake a job this very night"
with ali my heart. Senior Padre. or
condition that am paid accordinglya"
That You shall; but you must suffer
yourself TO be blindfolded."
To this the mason made no objections;
so, being hoodwinked, he was led by the
priest through various lanes aud winding
passages, until they stopped before the por.
tai OF a house. The priest then applied a
key, turned creaking lock, and opened
what sounded like a ponderous door,
They entered, the door was closed and
boited. and the mason was conducted
through an echo,ng corridor. and spacious
ball, to the interior Of the building. Here
the bandage was removed from bis eyes
and he found himself in parlor or court
dInly lighted by e single lamp. In the
centre was the dry basin of an old Moor.
ish fountain, under which the priest re.
quested him to form a small vault, brieks
and mortar being at hand for the purpose
He accordingly worked all night. but with.
out finishing the job. Just before day
break tie priest put a piece of gold into
his hand. and having again blind-folded
him, conducted him back to his dwelling
.Are you willing said be, ..to returr
and complete your work2"
Gladly. Senior padre--provided Il am
so well paid"
.WelIthen, Tomorrow at midnight,
will call again"
He did 50. and the vault was completed

We'll, that may be; but two much OF
one thing is worse than nothing"
all is not strange, that II young and
teautifpl widow. with two hundred thou
sand dollars at her command, should have
many suitors.
THAT is the very thing, uncle; the two
hundred thousand dollars is what brings
the suitors."
