Sufficient Real Estate.

A gentleman rather given to story telling,
relates the following:
"When was young man | spent seve-
raj years in the South, residing for while
at Port Hudson, on the Mississippi river
A great deal Of litigation was going on there
about that time, and it was not an easy mat>
ter to obtain jury. One day l was sum-
moned to act in that capacity, and repaired
to the court to get excused. On my name
being called, was informed his honor the
Judge, that was not freebooter, and there
fore could not serve.
"Where do you reside?" the Judge in
quired.
81 am stopping for the time being at Port
Hudson"
"You board at the hotel, presume"
IL take my meals there, but have a room
in another part of the town, where lodge"
"Do you keep bachelors hall ?"
''Yes sir"
"How long have you been living in that
manner 2"
"About six months"
Il think you are qualified" gravely re-
2 led the judge "for 1 have never known
man to keep bachelors hall the length of
time you name who had not dirt enough in
his room to make him a freebooter. The
court doesn't excuse you.

The Lost Found.

In town not thousand miles from White
Mountains lives an old farmer by the name Of
Tom p, who is famous for nothing except the
quantity Of dirt that is always seen upon his
person, The following story is told at his
expense, which may be true for aught l
know to the contrary One time he was taken
sick and a doctor was called in, who pre-
scribcd among other things, that he should
have a warm bath. Tom rebeled at this, but
upon being told that his life depended upon
it, he consented, and a tub Of warm water was
at once prepared by his better half, into which
was thrown liberal quantity of soap. y
rough towel was then procured, and the old
lady commenced the task of cleaning, for once,
1T least her lord and master. After working
away for several minutes, her eyes were at
tracted by something bright that shone through
the dirt, and she worked away with redoubled
energy. Another spot was visible little way
from the other; and, with light in her eye
that told of her JOY at the discovery, she ex>
claimed:
Daddy! daddy I'm glad tie doctor told
me TO wash you; for, as live, here are them
trousers that you lost two years ago. I can
tell 'em by the buttons"

"a Stitch in Time Saves Nine"
"For want of a naiIt the shoe was lost;
For want of a shoe the horse was lost;
For want of horse the rider was lost;
And nil for want of a horse shoe nail"

And all Tor want OF a norse-sn nail
Here is an instance of what the want of a
nail cost Farmer Careless. He had Just
finished milking, and with a steaming pail in
each hand, walked out of the barn yard to
bear his load to the house. In passing through
the garden gate he noticed that one of the
nails holding the latch was broken, and the
bar was hanging loose. Half minute of
time, one small nail, and two blows with a
hammer, would have fixed it; but our farmer
was in hurry, and couldn't attend to the
matter just then, so leaving it for another time,
he trudged along the path. Just there was
his mistake, las was shown by five consequences.
A COW pushed open the gate, and walked into
Farmer Careless garden, followed by nineteen
more COWS and proceeded to lunch upon his
young corn, to march with devastating tread
over his cabbage, and to carry ruin to his
onion patch. In driving them out after they
had done a vast amount of damage. Farmer
Careless stumbled over stump (Which ought
to have been pulled up long bcfOre,) and fell,
fracturing his knee pan, which accident cost
him six weeks in bed, long bill from the
doctor, a rheumatism as often as the wind blew
from the East, ever AFTER and limp in his
gait as long as he lived. Two Of his best cows
died from eating too freely of their stolen
luncheon though they might have been
saved, nau thclf owner Deen aOIe 10 alIcnu 10
them in time. During six weeks enforced
idleness at the busiest period of the season, his
farm was necessarily neglected, his crops were
uugathered, and his grass was left uncut
From all these troubles, he was unable to pay
the interest on his mortgage, his farm was sold
and sacrificed, and Farmer Careless was left a
poor man for the rest of his life. All these
misfortunes came upon him because he ne
elected to drive a needed nail in the latch of
his barn yard gatc.-4meyican Agyicuiturist.
