Look Up.

1t was a lovely morning when the inhablt-
ants of b were astir al al: unusually early
hour. 1t was the village fair-day; and be-
fore the morning sun had commenced his
daily course our little village was in busy
and excited state.
On one side of B was large common
and here it was that the festivities were to
take place AS the day advanced the excite
mcnt increased, and swings, shooting tables
and many other sources of amusement were
numerous. Many shows of wild beasts, and
other curiositics, had arrived on the yester-
dav evening from the ncighboring towns {;
and at midday the merriment was at its
height.
Many. however, of the lookcrs-on, who
joined not with the rejoicings, appeared to
be impatient for the noon to arrive, when
another feature of merriment was to be Of
fered to the gay villagers. Some kind-heart-
cd old squire had erected pole, on the sum-
nit of which was placed purse containing
five gunics this pole was to be creased
over, and he that succeeded in climbing to
the top was to carry off the prize.
And, oh! how many honest hearts beat
quickly, as the villagers gazed upon the
cnyied prize.
At last the cvcntful hour arrived. Every
nook of the village was deserted, and the
crowds gathered around the greasy pole.
There was no di>puting as to he who should
I've the first TO try; for the good old squire
had promised, that should sec ond person
succeed in gaining the summit of the pole, he
should be equally rewarded.
Hours glided away, however, ere the first
succeeded; and the general opinien was that
the squire did not stand in danger of having
to pay second five guineas. Many were
the attempts that had been made-in vain :
few, indeed, had succeeded in making half
the journey.
At last, an active, healthy looking lad of
some twelve summers, entered the list He
was well known in the village as an expert
climber; in fact there was not tree in the
whole ncishborhood but tina, he could mount
with ease lie had been taken to sea when
very young clad; hence his surprising
ability in climbing.
Before starting. his father whispered a few
words of advice. and then he commenced his
task. Great was the excitement of the crowd
as it witnessed the easy of-hand manner in
which he assembled the pole. 4 few moments
only suftced him to achieve half of his task,
and then he stopped to regain breath
Proudly he looked down upon the upturned

as effectual as tobacco in any form. Since
that time l have sitted upon the calves dr.,
fine, dust from the streets. and find that
equally as efficacious as either of the other
experiments. Hens and chickens are apt to
get lousy when kept in close pen where
they can have no convenient place to scratch
in the dry dirt. But give them a chance to
scratch and roll i'll the dry dirt, and they will
never be troubled with lice. ]. l.. EDGEE-
