The king and the soldier.

Frederick the Great of Prussia had a
great mania for enlisting gigantic SOL
diers into the Royal Guards, and paid
an enormous bounty to his recruiting
officers for getting them. One day the
recruiting sergeant CHANGED to espy a
Hibernian who was at least seven .eet
high. He accosted him IN English, and
proposed that he should enlist. The
idea ofsmilitary life and large bounty
so delighted Patrick, that he immedi-
ately consented. "But, unless you can
speak German, the King will not give
you so much.
"0h" said the Irishman, sure it's l
that don't know a word of German"
But, said the sergeant, three words
will be enough, and those you can learn
in short time The King knows every
man in the Guards. AS soon as he sees
you he will ride up and ask you how old
you are? You will say, Twenty,seven;'
next how long you have been in the ser
vice? You must reply, Three weeks;
finally, if you are provided with clothes
and rations? you answer, Both. "
Pat soon learned to pronounce his an
swers, but never dreamed OF learning
questions. In three weeks he appeared
before the King in review. His Majesty
rode up to him. Paddy stepped forward
with present arms. y
"How old are you2" said the King.
Three weeks, said the Irishman.
How long have you been in the ser
vice2" asked His Majesty.
Twenty-seven years.
I" Am l or you fool2' roared the
King
Both, replied Patrick, who was in
stantly taken to the gusrd-room, but par
doned by the King after he understood
the facts in the case.

vanity. 1t is about four years since he
was making his greatest dash, and then
his career certainly was a most remark
able one. BE had only been three years
in trade in New York, and during that
time had made his remedies famous and
become rich. His income was $4,000
