How TODO II,

Capt. S. kept hotel in the village of \.

for its Ioor accommodations and meagrt

One duya Traveller came along, called for
| supper, aitook without compliant of the
slender repast set before him, paid the half:
dollar which the captain demanded, and
went on his way rcjoiceing-pelhaps.

nights, and repairing their devastations kept
him busy days. In short, he didn't know
what to DO with them, ard would give FIVE
dolIars-yes, tcn--if any one would tell him

But no; the captain had tried their re-
ceipts, but in vain. The rats seorncd the
poison, avoided the traps, whipped the
terrier; and as for the singing, the Captain
reminded the pronulgator of that brilliant
idea that o.d Mrs Glass receipt for dress
ing hare, commenced with first catch
your hare; and, in this case, it seemed
necessary to begin in much the same way:
At this juncture, spoke the traveller:
