Honor Brighs-A Fact.

| Uncle Zei1iel had pair of fat oxen tt
sell, and che day he said:
Il mean to drive my oxen down tc
Brighton. myself and sell um'
.Yon'd BETTER not said ST, says he, you
better send me, father, for you know thai
| can make a sharp bargain; but they'll
make you bell eve the moons made OF
green cheese, down there
No, no, Siah,' says Uncle Zeke, saws
he i know what I'm about, and don't wan
a gardeen vet,' says he.
Well, one morning Uncle Zeke started
bright and early with his fat oxen, and
off he went. He didn't get home till mex,
| day, and as soon as we seen him coming
up the hill we all Segun to ask hin,
questions about his trade; but Uncle Zeke
didn't answer till he got ready, says he:
4 sold um for sixty dollars
Have you got the cash with you7' SAYS
81.
No, Siah,' says Uncle Zeke, Il hav' MT.
Who did you sell um to? says Uncle
Ethan.
don't know the mans name says I'm
Gle Zeke
Why can't you take out the note and
read itl says ST.
havn't got no note, says Uncle Zekiel.
What security have you got thens says
Siah, and his eye began to look pretty big.
The security I've got is good enough
for me, says Uncle Zekiel; the man said
he'd meet me fortnight from to- day at
the Four Corners and pay me sixty dol.
lars in silver.
Whoro doac IN l,,4a7 l.
Ethan.
don't know, says Uncle Zeke.
We all begun to laugh but 81, and he
didn't look by no means aspleasant as new
cider. AT last he says
Well father this beats all you ever done
before, you've gin away your fat oxen to
a man that you don't know, and YOU haint
nothing to show for it.
Wait till fortnight from to-day, says
Uncle Ezekiel, the man looked like an hon
est man and / believe he is an hones,
man. He said he would meet me at the
Four Corners and pay me the money,
and l believe he'll do it.
ST didn't say another word but he turn
ed on his heel and went straight off 10
the barn, looking as if he didn want to
play.
Poor Uncle Zeke was aughed at all
over the hill for his trade, and every time
any of the ks me, him, they called out
We'll Uncle Zeke have you got your
sixty dollars yets
Just You wait, says Uncle Ezekiel.
Well, when the time come round, I'M
Gle Zeke went down to the Four Corners
for his money. We kept a pretty good
look out, and when he came back we went
down the hui to meet him. ST says to him
with a scornful laugh:
Well father, your honest man met you
at the Fom Corners and paid you the six
ty dollars in silver, suppose.
Yes he did Siah, says Uncle Ezekiel,
and with that he pulls a bag of dollars out
of one side of his saddlebags, and then
he pulls another bag of dollars out of the
other side.
Yes he did, Siah, says Uncle Zeke,
again, there is the money. He looked like
an honest man, and he was an honest man;
but I'd rather be cheated little now and
than to be always suspecting every fellow
creature, as you are, Siah.-- Yankee Blade.

Two SoSs.-Ancient history records that a
certain city was beseiged. and at length obliged
to surrender. In the city, there were two broth
ers who had in some way obliged the conquer

permission to leave the city before it was set on
fire taking with them as much of their property
as each could carry about his person. Accord

gates of the city. one of them carrying their
father, and the other their mother.
