A Good Story.

An anecdote worth laughing over, is
told of q man who had an infrmity," as
well as an appetite for fish. He was ann.
ious to keep up his character for honesty,
even while enjoying his favorite meal; and
while making a bill with his merchant, as
the story goes, and when his back was
turned, the honest buyer slipped cod
fish up under his coat-tail. But the gar
ments were too short to cover up the
theft. aud tn, merchant perceived It.
"Now," said the customer, anxious to
improve all opportunities to call attention
to his virtues, "Mr. merchant, have
'raded with you a good deal, aud have
paid you up promptly, haven't IL"
"Oh, yes" said the merchant, +" make
no complaint"
WELL" says tho customer, 81 always
insisted that honesty is the best policy,
aud the best rule to live by, and die by"
"That's So" replied the merchant. and
the customer turned to depart. Hold
on, friend; speaking of honesty, | have Il
bit of advice to give you. Whenever you
come to trade again, you had better wear
u lyager coat, or steal shorter Goldfish" :"

Human Nature.

Deacon D., was very much interested

neighborlood, and, as consequence, was
continually urging his neighbors to come
over to tie Lords side," as he expressed
it. He had frequently importuned an
old ncighoor of his, {who was not particu,
larly noted for his attendance at church,
or for his profession" of religion, but
was nevertheless, highly respected by all
who knew him. to attend ono OF their
evening meetings. Now, the piety and
honesty of the deacon was matter OF
doubt among his fellow townsmen, and
particularly so with the old man above
mentioned, who, for convenience, we may
call Uncle Josh.
After frequent calls, Uncle Josh con.
sented to accompany the deacon to one OF
the meetings, and accordingly attended
him to the fred schoo-house" one evening
much to the surprise ofall present. In
the course of service the deacon arose
with penitential countenance, to tell his
experience. He was the prince ofsinners,
he said. If he got his deserts, he would
be banished forever from divine favor.
After making himself out to be all that is
vile in man, according to his interpreta-
ton of y" he that humb!eth himself shall be

of having done his duty, and asked Uncle
Josh if he wouldn't tell his experience.
With some little reluctance he arose amid
the breathless attention of the assembly |;
it was an unknown occurrence for /" Uncle
Josh to speak in meeting" He said he
had listened with great interest to the re-
marks of the deacon, and he was happy
to be able to assure the brethren that,
from his long acquaintance with him, he
could fully endorse all the deacon had
said concerning his meanneass and vileness,
for he was The naeanest man 4 ever kneac.
The wrath Of the deacon was terrific. He
sprang to his feet, shook his ist under Un-
Gle Josh's nose, and exclaimed aloud
