Laughable Story.

The Mobile Register is responsible for
the following mirth- provoking incident
For twenly-three years, old Jake Viii
lard has cultivated the soil of Baldwin
county, and drawn therefrom a support
for self and wife. He is childless. Not
long ago, Jack left the house in search Of
missing COW. His route led him thro'
an old, worn out patch of clay land, of
about SIX acres in extent, in the centre of
which was well twenty five or thirty
feet deep, that had sometime, probably,
furnished the inmates Of the dilapidated
house near by with water. In passing
by this spot an i'll wind lifted Jake's tile
from bis head, and maliciously waited it
to the edge of the well, and in it tum-
bled.
Now Jake had always practiced the
virtue of economy, and he Immediately
set about recovering the lost hat. He
ran to the well, and finding it was dry at
the bottom, ne uncoiled the rope which
he had brought for the purpose Of cap
turing the truant COW, and after several
attempts to catch the hat with a moose.
he concluded TO save time by going down
into the we'll himself To accomplish
this, he made one end of the rope fast to
stump hard by, and was quickly on
his way down the WELL
1t is fact, of which Jake was no less
ohliyious than the reader hereof, that Ned
Wells was in the dilapidated building
aforesaid, ard that an old blind horse,
with bell on his neck, which had been
turned out TO die, was lazily grazing
within a short distance of the well.
The devil himself, or some other wick
ed spirit, put it into Ned's Uranium to
have little fun, so he quietly slipped up
10 the horse, and unbuckled The bell
strap, approaching with slow, measured,
ting ling" the well.
!" Confound that old blind horse !" said
Jake, !" he's a-coming this way, sure
and amt got no more sense than to fall
IN here. Whoa, Ball.
But the continued approach of the
" ting-a-ling" said just as plainly as
words that BALI wouldn't a0hoa. Be-

old cuss will be a top of me before l can

You, Whoa.
Just then Ned drew up to the edge of
Tho well, and with his foot kicked a little
dirt into it.
Oh, Lord !" exclaimed Jake, falling
upon his knees at the bottom. "Pm
gone, now, whoa. Now l lay me down
TO sleep-w-h-o GA, Bali pray the Lord

AMUSING PRIDE.-The pride of the
people OF the Hidalgo blood shows itself
IN many curious ways, Of which the fol-
lowing is an example:
A Venetian traveller gave cobbler
par of boots to mend, and h. was so
much pleased with his work that he gave
HIM another pair to mend and then
thinking to do him service, asked him
to make him pair of boots. The in
dIgnant Spaniard said he had the blood
al Hldalgo in his veins his business
was TO mend old boots, and he would
never disgrace his blood by descending
TO measure a mans foot"
