A Lesson in Politensss,

friend of Dead Swift, one day sent him
turbot as present, by servant lad who
had frequently been on similar errands, but
had never regained anything for his trouble.
Having gained admission, he opened the
study door, and putting the fish on the floor.
cried out rudely, Master has sent YOU a
turhnt."
"YouIg man" said the Dean, rising from
his easy chair, sis that the way you deliver a
message? Let me teach you better manners.
Sit down in my chair; we will change places.
and will show you how to behave in the
future
The boy sat down, and the Dean going out,
came up to the door, and making a low bow.
said, ''Sir, master presents his kind .compli-
meuts, hopes you are we'll, and requests your
acceptance Of small present"
''Does he Z" replied the boy-sreturu him
my best thanks, and there's half crown for
yourself"
The Dean thus caught in his own trap.
laughed heartily, and gave the boy crown
for his ready wit
The teacher as well as the scholar received
lesson at that time. That boy certainly
knew enough to make his way through the
world. The Dean was very fond of fun. and
we have no doubt enjoyed the boys GOODNESS.

After sitting in chair, with which the
te'le politely furnished him. for an hour and
