In the pleasant little village of Had.
5donfeld, N. j., some years ago. there
resided an old fellow who was familiar.
ly known in the village and country
round, as sold joe" He had no par
ticular occupation-nor any particular
location. He ate where he could gel
a bite, and slept wherever he could
find a lodging place. He was harm
less old fellow, and occasionally made
a few shillings by cutting wood or
working in the field. Joe was q rcgu
lar old topper, and jersey lightning had
no more effect on his insides than so
much water. Old Joe was never
known to love anything but whiskev.
and he did love that. He generally
made his headquarters at the lower
tavern. There were two taverns i'm the
village, at the time of which we write.
He wonld sleep and doze away the af.
ternoon on an old bench in one corner
of the bar room, but was always awake
when there was any drinking going on
lie said he could never sleep when he
heard the jingling of glasses and the
gurgling sound of old rye and apple.
jack. When he was not asked to drink
he would slip to the bar and drain the
glasses of the few drops left in them.
One afternoon, d.. Bolus, the village
physician, was in the tavern, mixing
up preparation. He placed tum.
bier half full Of aqua toftis on the bar,
and turned round to mix up some other
ingredients. A few moments after he
had occasion to use the poisonous drug.
when he found, to his dismay, that the
tumbler had been drained to the last
drop.
