An Explanation.

Farmer NJ, of Newbury, was
a miserable old codger. Someti mes in
his eagerness to grasp the dimes he
would run rather close to the boundary
line which separates honesty from dis.
honesty, and he has been kno wn to GO
so far as even to step upon the line it.
self / will not say he got ia rly over
but he come SO near doing it twas
hardly worth dispute. He was deaf
as a haddock. las very post-"-and
when occasion required he was more
deaf that both these SMILES put togeth-
er.
He once sold load of hay to his
neighbor, who contrary to Ms expec'
tations, after seeing 1t weighed, stayed
to see it unloaded. But a few forktulis
were pitched off when bouncing big
rock rolled off from the load -.-then an
other-..then third came bangl' upon
the barn floor. whats ths?' queried
the buyer in loud voice. Most all
herds grass, this year replied the Deaf
man. But see here ! continued the
other pointing to the boulders which
lay arrayed in judgment against the
hayman, what does this mean? 'Shan't
cut nigh so much this year as | did last
year, replied the dealer in herds grass.
Just as he finished the last sentence
down came laundering ro using chunk
ofgranite, making a deep indention in
the barn.foor with one of its sharp
angles. l, | say neighbor ~, scream.
ed the purchaser of fodder, Il want to
know what are these? pointing to boul.
ders and rocks of granite. Old n. took
mighty forkfull of the herds grass,
gave it a toss into the hay loft, then
leaning upon his fork, elected his huge
quid of tobacco and replaced it with
fresh one, took view of the fragments
of stone wall that lay before and with
one of the blandest smiles Replied.

The following from the London Sport
in Magazine furnishes a striking in.
stance Of good luck:
"The late Luke White, the celebra.
ted Irish millionaire, commenced life as
an errand boy to a book stall, and fin.
ished it 10y representing in his own per
son and those of his three sons, four
counties in Parliament. Having sue.
ceeded in scrapng together as much
as TO enable him 10 purchase few pam.
phlcts, as trifles of stationery, he tied q
wallet to his back and set up himself as
a pedlar. His tour performed, and his
merchandise disposed of, he tDrned bis
steps once more towards Dublin, to re
plenish his knapsack and add to his
store. When some thirty miles short
Of his destination, he retired into field
adjoining the high road, to dine off a
crust of bread, and wash it down from
the rivulet upon whose banks his hum
ble meal had been made. That over,
he renewed his journey, arriving tow.
ards the eve of the following day at his
destination. The succeeding morning
saw him sally forth in quest of new
merchandise, when 10 his bitterwon
earning were gone The greasy can.
vass bag, his then strong box, had van.
ishcd, and he was again beggar.
Almost in despair, his desperate
search was made in the cellar wherein
he had slept, but in vain; at length the
idea flashed upon him, could he not
have dropped itwhere,by the river side,
he had dined and stopped to drink from
the stream?' Instantly the road was
retraced, ard at the end of the fifth day
half starved and dead with travel, The
lag and its contents were found upon
the brink of public path, within a few
yards of the turnpike road. After this
it is not surprising that in few years
we find him in prosperous business as
a bookseller in Dublin. 1t was during
the period when the IN ana for lottery
speculation was at its height. Like 9th
ers in his line, he dealt in tickets, and,
upon the particular occasion to which
this alludes, he had disposed Of all his
shares, save two half tickets, which he
was in the act of enclosing back, as un.
sold, to London, when young woman
entered bis shop and inquired for six
teenth. He told her how the case
stood, that he had but two halves re
naming, which he was about sending
off at that moment. After interchang.
ing acme badinage, Come said the bi.
bliopole, you shall buy one of the
halves and | will keep the other, and
should the ticket turn up to be prize,
we will marry and JOIN ourselves and
our tickets together So it was; and
the ticket was a twenty thousand pound
prize, and they were married, the fruit
of the union being the three senators
already spoken of.

to his discretion, and this was his con-

agreed with the sentiment Of the coun.

Curiosities of sIeep.

Tn Turkey if a person falls asleep in
the Deighborhood of poppy field, and
the wind blows over towards him, he
becomes gradually narcotized, aud
would die il the country people who
are well acquainted with the circum-
stances, did not bring to the next we'll
or stream and pour plenty of water on
his face and body. Dr. Appenheim,
during his residence in Turkey owed
his life to this simple and efiicaciors
treatment.
Doctor Graves also reports the case
of a gentlemen 80 years of age, who,
from long continued sleepiness was re-
duced to a complete living skeleton,
unable to stand on his legs. 1t was
partly owing to disease, but chiefly to
the abuse of mercury and opium; until
at last, unable to pursue his business,
he sank into abject poverty and woe.
Doctor Ried mentions friend of his
who, whenever anything occurred to
distress him, soon became drowsy and
fell asleep. A fellow student also at
Edingburg, upon hearing suddenly the
unexpected death of near relative,
threw himself on his bed, and almost in
simultaneously, amid the glare Of noon
day, sunk into profound sumber.--
Another person reading aloud to one
of his dearest friends stretched on his
death bed, fell fast asleep, and with the
book still iu his hand, went on reading,
utterly unconscious of what he was do
ing.
