The Life Time OF Man.


When the world was created. and the
creatures assembled to have their lifetime
appointed, the Ass FIRST advanced and asked
how long he would have to hve2
Thirty years." replied Nature, wilt
that be agreeable to thee?"
'Alas! answered the Ass, lit il a long
while. Remember what wearisome exis-
tence will be mine; from morning until
night / shall have TO bear heavy burdens,
dragging corn sacks te the mill, that others
may eat bread, while | have no encourage
,ntnt, nor be refreshed by anything but
blows and kicks. Give me but a portion of
that time, / pray
Nature was moved with compassion, and
presented but eighteen years. The Ass
went away conltortcd, and the Dog came
forward.
How long dost thou require to live2"
asked nature. Thirty years are too many
for the Ass, but wilt thou be contented with
them?' ...-.
us it thy viii that should?'' replied the
Dog. Think how much shall have to
run about; my feet will not last for 20 long
a time, and when | shall have lost my voice
for barking and my teeth for biting what
else shall | he fit for but to lie in corner
and growP"
Nature thought he was right and gave
twelve years.
The Ape then appeared.
Thou wilt, doubtless, willingly live the
twenty years, said Nature thou wilt not
have to labor as the Ass and the Dog, life
will he pleasant to thee
"Ah, no. cried he; 80 it may seem to
others, but it will not be! Should puddings
ever rain down, should excite laughter by
my grimaccs and then be rewarded by a sour
apple. How often sorrow lies concealed
behind a jcstl | shall not be able to endure
for thirty years, ... .~-
Nature was gracious and he received but
ten.
At last came Man, healthy and strong,
and asked the measure of his days.
will thirty years content thee
"How short time" exclaimed the Man.
when l shall build my house, and kindie
my fire upon my hearth--when the trees |
shall have planted are about to bloom aud
bear fruit-when life shall seem to me most
desira Bile, shall die. Oh, Nature grant
me longer period. = ..-- f..
Then thou shalt have the eighteen years
Of the Ass besides"
This is not enough Scplied the Man.
Take likewise the twelve years of the
Dog"
1T is not sufficient, - reiterated the Man.
give me more
Il will give thee, then, the ten years of
the Ape; and in vain will thou claim more"
Man departed satisfied.
Thus Man lives seventy years. The first
thirty are his human years, and pass swiftly
by. lie is then healthy and happy. Tie
lahors carefully, and rejoices in his exiStancc.
The eighteen of the Ass next; burden upon
burden is heaped upon hinh carries the
corn to feed others; blows and kicks are the
reward of his faithful service. The twelve
years of the Dog follow, and he loses his
reeth and lies downin the corner and .growls
When these are gone the Apes ten years

silly, hecomes the sport of children

proofs like the following were more fre.
quent:
Some five or six years ago, in one of the
trains OF cars running between Newark and
Jersey City, New Jersey, there was a young
naval officer, who was constantly intern,ing-
ling his conversation with the most profane
oaths. A young lady was so situated that
she could not but hear every time he swore.
At first she bore it with perfect equinim;ty;
then, as it continued, and rather increased
in the shocking character of his inipreca-
tons, she began to grow fideety. and her
eyes flashed We knew bolt would 500
be shot, aud that it would strike him. 1t
came directly. 034 'ra
Sir, can YOU converse in the Hebrew
tongue?' u. ~,
Yes, was the answer, In half uncon,

swear any more, you will greatly oblige me
and probnhlS the rest of the passengers also

looked at the young lady, ,hen at bis boots
and then at the ceiling of the cars: but he
did not swear any more either in Heberew
or English, and he probably remembered

Auction of Ladies'.

1t is well known that an auction Of nm
married ladies used to take place annually in
Babylon. I'm every district, says the his
torian, they assemble on certain day of
every year all the virgins ef marriagcable
age" The most beautiful were first put up,
and the inan who bid the largest rum of
money gained possession of her. The sec
ond in personal appearance followed and
the bidders gratifed themselves with hand
some wives according to the depth of their
purses. But, alas it seems that there were
in Babylon some ladies for which no money
was likely to be offered, yet these also were
disposed ot:-so provident were the Babylo-
mans. When all thesbeautifull virgins, I"
says the historian, were sold, the crier or
dered the most Ieforned 70 stand up; and
niter he had openly demanded who would
marry her with small sum, she was at
length adiudged to the man who would be
satisfied with the least; and in this manner
tie money arising from the sale of the hand
some served as portion to those who were
either of disagreeablc looks, or that had any
other imperfection." This custom prevail.

The business of the Court in one of the

After the clerk had read the Indictment 70
him he put the question q
Guilty or not guilty?'
Guilty, but drunk, your honor" an
swered the prisoner.
What's the plea?' asked the Judge,
half dozine on the bench.
He pleads guilty but says he was drunk, "
replied the clerk. .
Whats the case?'

prosecuting attorney, ''the man is regularly
indicted for stealing large sum of money
from the Columbus Hotel"
He is hey? and pleads
He pleads guilty, but drunk"
The Judge was now thoroughly aroused.
Guilty but drunk-this is the most ex-
traordinary plea. Young man you were
certain you were drunk?"
Yes, sir"
where did you get your liquor?"
"At Stcrret's."
did you get none anywhere else?"
Not drop, sir.
..You got drunk on liquor and afterward.
stole the money!
"Yes, sir.
