On an evening preceding Thanks Civ
ing many years ago, two students left tn
college, with the most foul intent of pro
curing some Of the Doctors fine chickens
that roasted on tree adjoining the house
When they arrived at the spot, one as
cending the tree, while the other stoot
with bag ready to receive the plumber
1t so happened that the Doctor himsel
had just left the house, with the view o
securing the same chickens for his Thanks
giving dinner. The rogue under the tree
hearing some one approaching, immdia
tely crept away, without notifying his
companion among the branches. The
Doctor came up silently, and was imme
diatley saluted from above as follows.
care you rcady?'
dyes" responded the Docter, disembl.
ing his voice as much as possible
The other Immediately laying his hands
on the old rooster, exclaimed:
"l1ere's old Prex, will you have him?"
"Pass him along" was the reply, and
he was soon in the Doctors bag.
Heres marin Prex," said the all un-
conscious student, grabbing fine old
hen, ''will you have her 2"
"Yes," agaiu- responded the Doctor.
"uere'S son John, will you have him."
"Here's daughter Sal, take her 2" aud
SO on until he had gone regularly though
with the Doctors family and chickens.
The old man walked off in one direc-
ton with the plunder, while the student,
we'll satisfied with his nights work, came
down and streaked it for the college
Great was his astonishment to learn from
his companion that he had not got any
chickens, and if he gave them to any
one It must have been to DR.. Mott. Ex-
pulsions, fines, and disgrace was upper
most in their thoughts until the next
forenoon, when both received polite
invitation from their President, request
ing the presence of their company to a
Thanksgiving dinner. To decline was
impossible, SO with hearts full of anxiety
for the result, they wended their way to
the house, where they were pleasantly re-
ceived by the old gentleman, and with
large party soon around the festive
board After asking blessing, the Doc
tor arose from his seat, and taking the
carving knife turned with a smile to the
rogues and said: young gentlemen,
here's old Prex, and marin Prex, son
John, {; daughter SAL" at the same time
touching the respective chickens; "to
which will you be helped ?" The morti-
cation of the students may be imagined.

Upon reaching his own premises he was
too far gone to discover any door to the
domicile he was wont to inhabit, and there
fore laid himself down in shed which
was a favorite rendezvous for the hogs
They happened to be out when the new
conner arrived. The weather being ra-
ther cold, they, in the utmost kindness,
and with truest hospitality, gave their
biped companion the middle of the bed
some lying ON either side of him, and
others acting the part of quilt. Their
warmth prevented him from being in
jured by exposure, Towards morning
he awoke. Finding himself comfortable,
in blissful ignorance of his whereabouts,
he supposed himself enjoying the accom-
madation of a tavern, in company with
others gentlemen. He reached out his
hand, and catching hold of the stiff bris
ties of a hog, he exclaimed-"Hallo, my
good friend, you've got ID of
beard When did you shave last 2"

JEFF Davis and .Roht Lee.

JEFF. Davis and Lee thought they could set
In Richmond such matter
Of forts and ditch, that gainst the which
The Yanks In vain might batter.
But General Grant, who knows no "cant,
So banged the rebel anvil,
That Lee broke down, and jeff. left towr
And ran away to Danvilie.
Brave as bear, he promised there,
In royal proclamations,
He yet would win and stand within
The family of nations.
Alas Alack ! Within crack
(Ye stars and garters save us y
The man was spied standing inside
The skirts of Mrs. Davis
