THE LANDLORDS JOKE.

Not far from the city of Montgomery, in
the State of Alabama, on one of the old
stage roads running from that city, lived a
jolly landlord by the name of Ford.
In fair or foul in hard times or soft.
Ford would have his joke. One bitter
stormy night, or rather morning. two hours
before day break, he was aroused from his
slunbers BY loud shOutings and knocks at
hisdoor. He turned out, but sorely against
his will, and demanded what was the mat
ter? 1t was dark as tar, and as lie could
see no one he cried out, "who are you
there?"
"Burdcr and Yancy and Elmcre, from
Montgomery" was the answer ION our
way to Tuscaloosa to attend Court We
are benightcd, and want to stay all night"
Very sorry l can't accommodate you,
50 far, gentlemen. Do anything to Oblige
you, but that's impossible
The lawyers-three of the smartest in
the State, and all ready to drop down with
fatigue-hcld brief consultation, and then
as they could do no better, and were too
tired to 60 another step, they asked:
We'll, can you stable our horses. and
give chairs and good fire till mOrning?"
80, yes; can do that, gentlemen
Our learned and legal friends were soon
drying their wet clothes by a bright fire,
and composed themselves to pass the few
hours in their chairs, doing,
and now and then swearing a
word or two of impatience, as they waited
until daylight did appear.
The longest night has a morning, and at
last the sun came along, and then in due
-imc good breakfast made its appearance;
but, to the surprise Of the lawyers, who
thought the house was crowded with guests,
hone but themselves sat down to partake.
Why, Ford. l thought your house was
% full you couldn't give US bed, last
light?" said Burder. T..
g didn say so" replied Ford.
" You didn't t? What in the name of
7onder, then, did you say??"
You asked me to let you stay "aN
ight," and l said that would be impossi-
lie, for the night was nigh unto two-thirds
one when you came. If you only wanted
eds, Why on earth Didn't yon say SOP" :
