An AMUSING INcIDENr.4W | used to
tend store at the :. Regulator" in Syracuse.
the old man comes around and says he:
Boys, the one that sells the most betwixt
now and Christmas, gets a vest pattern as a
present.
Maybe we didn't work for that vest pat
tern tell you there was some tall stories
told in praise Of goods just about this time !:
but talIest talkcr and one who had more
cheek than any of us was certain Jonah
Squifesr who roomed With me. He could
talk a dollar out If mans pocket when the
man only intehds to spend sixpence and
the tlse women. Lord bless YOU they Just
handed over their pocket books to him, and
let him Law out what be liked for them.
One night Jonah woke me up with, g By
Gosh. old fellow, if you think that ere's got
any cotton in, I'll bring down the sheep it

could feel Jonah's hands playing about
the bea-clothes for an instant, then, rip !.

my head under the blankets. perfectly con-
vulsed with laughter, and sure that Jonah
had torn the sheet from top to bottom When

A Mon DISPERSED Br JaKE.-When an
officer of the government Of the. revolution,
the first Napoleon had been ordered out to
disperse body of rioters Having drawn up
his soldiers and some guns across the street
he waited their advance. They appeared
sweeping down on him and his party like a
roaring torrent. The artilerymen, with their
port fires, stood ready at his signal to pour
showers of grape into the body of the
mob. Unwilling to shed blood, he step
ped out from his men to reason with his suf-
ferng and misguided people. and soon found
himself vis-a-vis with their head, a yrago Of
woman, whose appearance presented re
markble contrast to his own. She was of
great size and enormusly fat; while he, al
ways very little, was at that time SO
thin, as well as small, that he was known
by the sobriquet of ia Petit Corporal" !"
He demonstrated with this lady but she re-
pied with velleys of abuse telling him while
she and other honest, hard working people
were starving such idle fellows as he and his
soldiers were fattening on the best of the
land With the eagle eye and remarkable
prompitude which turned the fate of many
battlefield. Napoleon saw at once the weak
point of his adversary's position. He paused
till she was. out Of breath. Then taking off
his hat. be bowed to the mob, aud placing
his own thin figure beside that of his fat op
ponent. he asked them to say, whether the
good lady or he looked like starving. As
happens in more respectable assemblies than
mobs. elsewere in witty France, a good hui
mored joke won the day and the people. for
the time at least, quietly dispersed.-lGood
Words.

The Dragon Of Glagenfart.

Certain remains testified to the site Of a.

tne latter, N course Of time, under the Car.
antenian Dukes Of KarDberg, subjus rating the
previously Independent Sloyens At that
period-so tells the legend-the district be-
