The other day the Kernal got off good

loose What's that?' ses Seward
why, ses Linkin, 'ain't you never heerd
the story of the Giascutis p Seward said
he never had. WAL ses the Kernal, Il
must tell you. Several years ago, a kup-
pie of Yankees were travelin out West, an
they got out Of money. So they konclu-
ded to raise the wind as follers: They
were to 60 into village, and announce a
show, pretending that they had remark
bull animal which they had jist captured
on the Rocky Mountings. A bran new
beast, such as was never seen before The
name was the 'Giascutis.' 1t was to be
shown in room, an one of the fellers was
put behind screen, and had sum chains
to shake, an he also contriyed to growl or
howl as no critter ever did before. Well
the people of the village all cum to see
the Giascutis, an, after the room was filed,
his companion began to explain to the au-
dience what terrible beast he had, how
he killed ten men, two boys, and FIVE hos
ses in ketchin him, an how he had got
him, at enormous expence, to show him.
Jest as everybody was starin, thar was
all at once most terrific growlin an howl
in, an rattlin of chains, an, in the excite
meut, the Snowman, almost breathless,
yelled out, at the top of his voice, the
Giascutis is loose. Run! run! run =
An away went the people down stairs,
heels over head, losin all they had paid,
and seein nothin.' Now, ses Linkin, the
Merrymac is out an wen / read about the
vessels, an tug-boats, an steamers, all
scamperin off as soon as she was seen, I
thought she was the 'Giascutis, sure, on
ly I'm afraid she is a real Giascutis, an
no mistake Since then, Linkin calls the
Merymac the Giascutis all the time.

In the year 1776, when Governor Gin
ton resided in Albany, there came stran-
ger to his house one cold wintry morning
soon after the family had breakfasted.
He was welcomed by the household and
Hospitality entertained. A breakfast was
ordered, and the Governor, with his wife
and daughter employed in knitting, were
sitting before the FIRE, and entered into
conversation with him about the affairs Of
the country, which naturally led to the
inquiry of what was his occupation. The
caution and hesitancy with which the
stranger spoke, aroused the kcen.sighted
Clinton. He communicated his suspicious
to his wife and daughter, who closely
watched his every word and movement.
Unconscious of this, but finding that he
had fallen among enemies, the stranger
was seen to take something from his pock-
ct and swallow it. Meantime Madame
Clinton, with the ready tact of women of
those troublous times, went quietly into
the kitchen, and ordered hot coffee to be
Immediately made, and added to il a strong
dose Of tartar emetic. The stranger, de-
lighted with the smoking beverage, par
took freely of it, and Mrs. Clinton soon
had the satisfaction Of seeing it produce
the desired result. True to scripture,
"out of his mouth was he condemned"
A silver bullet appeared, which upon ex-
animation, was unscrewed, and found to
contain an important dispatch from Bur-
goyne. He was tried, condemned and ex-
ecuted, and the bullet is still preserved in
the family.

Coop LucK.-Some young men talk
about luck. Good luck is to get up at six
o'clock in the morning good luck if you
had only q shilling week, is to live up
on elevenpence and save penny good
luck is to trouble your head with your
own business, and to let your neighbor,s
alone; good luck is to fulfill the command
ments, and do unto other people as we wish
them to do unto us. They must not only
plod, but persevere. Pence must be taken
care Of, because they are the seeds of gum
cas-. To get on in the world, they must
take care Of home, sweep their own door
ways clean, try and help other people,
avoid temptations, and have faith in truth
