A GREATER MAN THAN WELLINGToN.-A
great Scotch sheep farmer, who, though he
could neither read nor write, had neverthe-
less made large fortune by sheep farming,
was open to any degree of fattery as to his
abilities in this department Of labor. A pur-
chaser knowing, his weakness and anxious
to ingratate himself into his good graces,
ventured one evening, over their whisky tod
dy, to remark, i am of opinion, sir, that
yon are greater man than even the Duke
of Wellington ~ :. Hoot toot ~ replied the
sheep farmer, modestly shaking his head
with pleased SMILE and taking large pinch
of snuff; g that is too much by far-by far.
But his guest after expatiatings for a while
upon the greater powers of his host in collec-
ting and concentrating in southern market
flock Of sheep. put the question, . Could
the Duke Of Wellington have done that?'
The farmer thought little, snufed, took a
glass of toddy and replied. 1.-The Duke of
Wellington was. no doot, very clever man
very clever, | believe. They tell me he
was good soger; but then, dye see. he had
reasonable men to deal with-captains and
majors and generals that could understand
him, every one of them, both officers and men;
but | am not so sure, after ali, if he could
manage, say $1,000 sheep, besides black cat
tie, that could not understand one word he
said, Gaelic or English, and bring every hoof

The UsURER CAucHr.-An eminent artist
at Lyons, while passing through the Rue des
Terreaux, approached a number of persons
who were gathered together witnessing the
sale of the furniture of poor workman A
woman was seated on the pavement with a
child in her arms. The painter spoke to her
and was told that the furniture which was
being sold belonged to her; that her husband
had lately died, leaving her with the child
she had in her arms; that she had struggled
bard to maintain herself by working day and
night, and submitted to every privation, but
that her landlord had at length seized her
furniture for some months rent which was
due him. The artist was much affected by
this simple recital, and inquired who was her
landlord. "There he is, replied the poor
woman, pointing to a man who was watching
the progress of the sale; and he was recog-
nized by the painter as person who was
suspected of having amassed considerable
fortune by usury, so that to make an appeal
to his feelings in behalf of the poor widow
would be useless The artist was considering
within himself what other plan be could
adopt to ber eft her when the crier announced
a picture for sale. 1t was a miserable daub
which in the summer the poor woman had
used to hide the hole in the wall through
which the pipe of the stove passed during the
winter. 1t was put up at one franc. The
artist at once conceived plan for taking re-
venge of the landlord He went over, exam
ined the picture with great attention, and
then called out, with a very loud voice. One
hundred francsl" The landlord was astoun-
ded at the bid, but conceiving that a picture
OF which so eminent an artist could offer that
sum, was worth more than double, boldly
offered two hundred Five hundred -
said the painter, and the contest between the
two bidders became so animated, that the
prize was at length knocked down to the land
lord at :. .20Of.l The purchaser then address
ing the painter, said, - In seeing an artist of
your merit bid SO eagerly for the picture,
supposed that it must be valuable. Now tell
me, sir, at what you estimate its value?"
: About three francs and a half" said the
painter ''but | would not give that
for it." You are truly jesting," said the
landlord. g for you bid as high as ?, l00f. for
it. +" THAT is true replied the artist.
:" and will tell you why didso. You, who
are in possession of an income of "a, ,000f.
year, have seized on the furniture of poor
woman for debt of 200f | wished to give
you lesson, and you fell into my trap. In
ssead of the poor woman be ng your debtor,
she is now your creditor and | fatter myself
you will not compel her to seize on your fur
niture for her debt" The artist then polite
ly saluted the astonished landlord, and, hay-
ing announced her good fortune to the poor
woman, walked away.-Lyons Paper.
