THE PIG AND THE vENrRILooUIsr.-Ai
Macon fair, saw country woman driving
pig before her, which could ha,dly move,
SO laden WAS it with fat. "What's the price
of your pig, my good woman ga hu::.
'dred francs, my good.looking gentleman,
at your service, if you wish to buy."-"Oi
course I wish to buy; but it is a great deal
too much. can offer you tencrowrsG."-
Il want one hundred francs, no more and
no less; take it or leave i.."-"stay," said
Comte, approaching the animal /; II am sure
your pig is more reasonable than you. Tell
me, on your conscience. my line fellow, are
You worth one hundred francs a'-'You
are long way out" replied the rig, in a
hoarse and hollow voice =; am not worth
ono hundred sous. I am measled, and my
mistressis trying to take you iu." The
crowd that had assembled around the
woman and pig fell back in, terror, fapcyT-
ing them both be~ituhed, while Con1tere-
turned to bis hotel where the story was
told him with sundry additions, and he
learned that some courageous persons had
gone up to the woman, begged her to be ex-
orcised, and that would drive the wicked
spirit out Of the pig Memoirs of Roudin.

portunity, the harm is not very great to US

descendants of Iaborels are always to be Ia
borers. The path upward is steep and long
to be sure. Industry, care, skill excellence
in the present parent, lay the foundation of

for the children. The children of these take
another rise; and, by.aud.by, the descend.
ants Of the present laborer become gentle

BY attempting to reacl, the, top at single
