A RUSE.

One of our Secretaries of State for the
United States struck out good mode of get
ting rid of an intruder in a particular case.
1t appears that the door-keeper of the Sec
retary's office was remarkably obliging,
which proved quite the thing for an Office
seeker, who managed to get in every day
and bother the Secretary. When the an
noyance had continued three or four days,
the Secretary stepped up one morning to
the door keeper, and asked whether he knew
what the man came after daily.
Yes" replied the functionary, ian of

"Well, then will tell you;he ocants your

office-seeker and the polite door-keeper, is
said to have been rich, from the peculiar

A flock of them the other day. (says the
Era) come across donkey having with it a
juvenile donkito about a week old. This
was something new. They hah yah'd and
walked around it several times; finally, one
of them discovered that it had tail, and
undertook to unfold it; he took hold of it
and Strengthened it out. They all gather
