A Miser.

Lord Barco, an ancestor OF the Earl Of Fife
was remarkable for practising that celebrated
rule -"Get all you can, and keep all you can
get" One day, walking down the avenue
from his house, he saw a farthing lying at his
feet, VIII Oh he carefully cleaned. A beggaI
passing at the same time, entreated his lord
ship wo:.s we him the farthing, saying it
was not VIC: n nobleman's attention. Elm

,rdship, and carefully put the coin in his
breeches pocket. In addition to being his
own farthing finder, his lordship was his own
factor and rent collector. A tenant who
called upon him to pay his rent, happened
to be deficient farthing. This amount
could not be excused, and the farmer had to
pay the farthing When the business was
adjusted, the countryman said to his lordshlp:
"Now, Barco, wonld gle We shillin' for a
sight O a the goud and siller we hae."-
"Well, mon," replied Borco, ''its no cost yc
ony mair;' and accordingly for, and in con-
sideration of the Aforesaid sum, in hand first
well and truly paid, his lordship exhibited
several iron boxes filled with gold, and silver
coin.-"Now," says the farmer, "Pm as rich
as yourself" Gay, mon," said his lordship,
chow can that be?" because I've seen it
and you can do no mair."

Arkansas EloqueElce.

An individual, very appropriately named
"Lieper," has recently delivered an address
before female seminary, likewise very APP
propriately located at "Tulip," Arkansas
Orationizing before collection Of the SLOW
ers" of humanity it is no wonder that Mr..
Lieper should "leap," occasionally, from the
sublime to the ridiculous. Here is what Mr..
Lieper said to the young ladies':
"By her central position, Arkansas stand ),
as the great Alpine column of support in this
mighty temple of freedom, in which so many
millions offrsemen offer sacrifice at the shrine
of the Goddess of Liberty! And shall she
remain inactive and Indifferent, whilst the
shout of the millions of her countrymen shake
the quahing earth in plaudts to the honor
and glory of the MUSES. who preside over
the moral and intellectual Development Of
man. And this paradisaic rilge must ultima
tely become the Mount Olympus upon whose
classic brow when the great territorial West
becomes populated with thronging millions,
the games of the struggling genius will be
enacted"
What those games are is left to conjecture,
but an Arkansas editor hopes that ''poker "a
game to which struggling genius is much adj
dictedD is not included for according to all
authority, poker is bad institution, and is
besides, contrary to the peace and dignity Of
the State.'''

for telling tough yarns, and other story-tel-

for all this, they were not disposed to believe
all that he told by way of enlargement.

"for eight days and nights, and on the morn

climb tree, and find out how deep the snow
really was. But before doing so, had the

some twigs that found in ',y camp. Well,
l climbed, and climbed, until found myself
at the top of the tree, and yet no nearer the
top to appearance, than | was at the start
But knocking the snow from the immediate
vicinity, I succeeded in putting on my snow
