TAyERN-TuE LANDLORD SMELLS
SoMErHING.-A short time since
gentleman and lady were travelling
in Michigan, and having missed the
stage, were compelled to take a pri
vate conveyance from the town Olsen
deri to Thomas town: The lady had
with her a beautiful little lap dog,
which she carried on her lap on an
embroidered mat. During the ride
the husband discovered that he had
no handkerchief, when the lady lent
him hers, which was tashionably seen
ted with musk. About half way be-
tween the two towns the carriage
broke bown, in the midst of hard
rain, and they were obliged to take
refuge in the halfway house---a 'one-
horse log tavern, consisting Of TIVE
rooms--a bar-room and lodging.room.
The lady lald her lap-dog on its mat
before the fire, and herself and hus-
band topk seats. In short time the
gentleman had an occasion to use his
handkerchief, and took it out, leaving
it lying on his knees when he got
through with it. In a few minutes
the landlord opened the door, put his
head in, looked around, went out,
came in, gazcd at the dog--his nos.

disgust. lie finally appeared satis6.
ed, went TO the outside door, opened
it, came back with a bound, seized the
lap dog by the tail, and hurled him
bowling through the open door full
ten rods into the forest. The wife
f,intcd; the husband rose to his feet,
terribly enragcd, and wanted to know
what he did that for. That's my dog
continued he, tnriously. Don't care
a cuss whose dog it is,' said tae man,
grutfiy, impetuously; 4 amt going TO
have no such blasted smelling var

band and wife evacuated the house
instantly, and proceeded on their way
in the rain.

Thou fndest now that peace on earth denie'

But through its track to pour are seas destined.
Thou didst not walk in the destroyer's course;
Thy efforts were preserving -healing mend

And only blessings forth thy action pours.
Electric is the thrill radiated by thy death,
Fresh energy it in our hearts infuses
Death in our eyes its sombre terrors loses

THE TWO FOOLS.

When quite small boy, like most other !
youths, had a great inclination to attend
all the shows, crcusscs, negro dancers, con
certs, etc., that came along. On one occa-
sion was very much amused at thew it of
the clown, who was convulsng the crowd
with his grotcsquc appearance and witty
saying. After while he said something
the crowd did not consider very "fnnny."
and at which no one laughed, when a
drunken man no longer able 10 hold his
tongue, cried You are fool" True,
replied the clown, and so are you; the only
difference between us, am fool fer
money, and you are fool for nothing"
Though quito young, the reply Of the
clown made deep impression upon my
mind. and determined to profit by it,
In after life, I have generally found that it
required more fools than one 10 carry on
successfully what we really condemn as
foolish.
Now, whenever see large placards stuck

mails" "unrvallel circus" "wondcrfH at
traction" etc., I invariably think Of the
saving of the clown, IL am fool for mon
ey and you are fool for nothing" aid

clown, but great many of the others.
When see advertised in the papers.
~splendid lottery schemes," "sixty thou

think Of the clowns two fools, and how
