In vain the viceroy begged him to
reflect, and not, by adding falsehood to
treachery, force him to take measures
of severity. The merchant persisted
in his denial.
The viceroy left the room suddenly,
and returned with the jewel in his
hand at which unexpected apparition
the astonished merchant changed color,
and entirely lost his presence of mind.
The viceroy ordered him from his
presence, with severe rebuke for his
falsehood and treachery, and an order
never again to enter the palace. AT
the same time he commanded him to
send him, the next morning, eight hun
dred dollars with five hundred mose :;
which he did, and which were, by the

Don -, being her friend, and
respectable merchant, she went to him
to state her necessities, and offered him
case of valuable Jewels as security
for repayment, provided he would
advance her eight hundred dollars.
He agreed, and the bargain was con-
clud@ without any written document,
the lady depositing her jewels, and
neiying the sum.
8 At the end of a few months, her
temporary difficult being ended, she
keut to her friends house to repay the

was an Asiatic elephant remarkable for
the largenessof his ears. His owner
called him Kiouki II.
Among the acrobatic troupe was a
maker of red balloons, recently so pop
u'ar in England and America. He
travelled with the show, and seduced n
couple of sous from the pockets of many
a patron of h'by selling him balloon.
E A countryman stopped one day be-
fore the menagerie tent, and enticed by

paid his money to see him. Astonished
at his size, he asked the balloon man as
he went out :

or lay eggs :"
