DoNA FORTUNA AND DON DINERo.
N. q. DESIsoS.

We'll, sirs, Dona Fortuna and Don Diuero were % in love that you saw one without the other. The bucket follows the rope, and Don Diuero followed Dona Fortuna Gatil folks be- gan to talk scandal. Then they made up their minds to get married
 Don Dneno was a big, swollen fellow, with head of Peruvian gold, belly of Mexican silver legs Of the copper of Sogoyia, and shoes of pa per from the great factory of Madrid.
 Dona Fortuna was a mad-cap, without faith oy law, very slippery, uncertain, and queer, and binder than a mole.
 The pair were at cross purposes before they had fnished the wedding cake. Tine woman wanted to take command but this did not suit Don Dinero, who was of an overbearng and naughty disposition. Why sirs my father (may glory be his rest)l used to say that if the were to get married he would losel his ferceness. But Don Dipcro WAS more proud than the and did not lose his presumption.
 As both wished 10 be first and best, and neither wished to be last or least, they determined 10 de- eide by trial which Of the two had the more power.
 "Look," said the wife to the husband, do you see, down there in the hollow, that poor man SO discouraged aud chop-falleu! Let $ try whether you or l can do more for him."
 The husband agreed, and they went right away he croaking, and she with jump, and took up their quarters by the tree.
 The man who wretch that had never in his whole life seen either of them, opened eyes Ike pair of great olives when the two appeared 
 "God be vith you " said Don Dinero. And with his graee's worship also" replied the poor man.
 Do n't you know nc 7"
 "I only know his highness 10 serve him."
 You have never seen my faeeg
 "Neyer since God made me"
 "How Is that-haye you nothing"
 "Hes, sir have six children as naked as colts vth throa,s like old stocking legs; but to property, have only grad and shallow and often not that"
 "Why don't you work :'
 "Wbyr Because ant find work and Tn % unlucky that everything undertake turns out as crooked as a goats horn. Since married it appears as though frost had fallen on me: l m the fog of il-hap. Now here--a master sent u. to dig him well for price, promising us doub looms when lt should be finished, but giving not single rnaradayi beforehand"
 The master was wlse,', remarked Don Dnero VI Money taken, arms broken, is good saying Go on, my man"
 "I put my whole soul in the work for, not. vithstanding your worship sees me looking so foriorn, am man, sir"
 "Yes," said Don Dlnero, "I had perceived that"
 But there are four kinds of men, senor. There are men that are men; there are good-for- -naughts sud contemptibie monkeys; and men that are be low monkeys, and not worth the water they drink But, as was telling you the deeper we dug the lower down we went, but the fewer sgus we found Of water. IL appeared as II the center o y, ", found nothing, .enOr, hu, a cobber"
 :" In the bowels Of the earth !'' exclaimed Don Dinero, Indignant at hearing that his aaecstra palace was so meanly inhabited.
 "No, seuor" said the man depracatingly; "noi in the bowels; further on in the country of the other tribe"
 "What tribe, man 7"
 .The antipodeds, senOr"
 My friend, l am going to do you favor, " said Don Dinero, pompousy; and he put dol lsr in the mans hand.
 The man hardly credited his eyes: ioy leni wings 10 his feet, he not long in arriving a, staker's shop and bying bread. but when Inc went to take out his money, he found nothing II his pocket but be hole through which the doila, had gore without saying goodbye
 The poor fellow was tn desiair; he looked fo, it, but when did one of his \Ort ever find any thing! No; St. Anthone guars the pig that iestiuct for the wolf After tho money. he los Slrle, md Nligt Nme, patieucc, an thas lo,t, h feli ,a casting afsy i.s ihd !uck ptry curse ,hl ever opened hl5 iVs.
