Curing a Wife.

Mr.. Dimlight for the past ten years,
had prayed every day that his wife
would tumble down stairs and break
her neck, or else die Ike Christian

Mrs. Dinnlight was fonnd of complain

parties in the room took no notice oi

"Yes,' said Dimlight, "she is going

Mrs Dimlight raised her form in bed
and sat bolt upright. She listened at

doc priest called in all the members of
a large family, one of whom was known
to have committed a theft, and adj
dressed them thus: ''Take each Of son

who had committed the theft, thinking
to outwit the priest, cunnlngiy cut of
an inch from his stick, firmly believ-
ing, by this means, to attain tue length
of the others by the next morning.
The sticks were returned, and, by COM
pairing them, the priest was instantly
able to pitch upon the offender, to bis
great surprise and dismay. =

acnteness:
In a certain city large quantity OF

dealers brought their complaints be-
/ fore the king. notwithstanding all the
search that was made, the thieves re-
manned undiscovered. An amier said
that, if he were commanded, he eould
discover the thieves, and the king or.
dered him to do so. The amier went
home, and, under pretence of making
a feast, invited all the men of the city
small and great. When al. the peopl,
met together, and had seated them
selves, the amier joined the company
and looking every man in the face
said:
