A TRADE IN RIDDLES.

Nine persons sailed from the Balse down
the Rhine. A Jew who wished to 70 10
Schalmpt was allowed to come on board
and journey with them, upon conditions
that he would conduct himself with pro-
priety, and give the captain eighteen
kreuzers for his passage.
Now, it is true something jingled in the
Jews pocket when he struck his hand
against it,, but the only money there was
twelve-kreuzer piece, for that other was Il
brass button.
Notwithstanding this, he accepted the
offer with gratitude; for he thought to
himself: something may be learned even
upon the water. There has MANY \ man
grown rich upon the Rhine.
During the first part Of the voyage the
passengers were very talkatve and merry,
and the jew. with his wallet under his
arm, for he did not lay it aside, was an
object of much mirth and mockery. as
alas is often the case with those of his
nation.
But as the vessel sailed onward, and
passed Thurigen and st. Vett, the passen-
gers one after another grew silent, and
gapcd and gazed listlessly down the river.
until some one cried
"Come jew, do you know any pastime
that will amuse us? Your fathers must
have contrived many y one during their
journey in the wilderness"
"Now is the time" thought the Jew,
''to shear my sheep
He then proposed that they should sit
| round in circle. and he, with their per-
mission would sit with them. Those who
could not answer the question any one
proposed, should pay the one who pro-
pounded it. kreuzer piece; and those
who answered him pertinently should re-
ceive twelve-kreuzer piece.
This proposal pleased the company, and
hoping to divert themselves with the Jews
wit or stupidity, each one asked NJ ram
dom. whatever chanced to enter his head.
Thus, for example. the first one asked:
GLOW many soft-boiled eggs could the
giant Golah eat on an empty stomach!"
All said it was impossible to answer that
question; but the jew said:
"One for he who has eaten one egg
cannot put the second on an empty stom-
ach," and the other paid him twelve kre-
uzers.
"Wait, jew" thought the second. II
will try you out of the New Testament,
and think shall win my price" Then
said he, "why did the Apostle Paul
write the Second Epistle to the CORN
thians ?"
because he was not in Corinth," said
the Jew. otherwise he would have spoken
to them."
So he won another twelve kreuzer piece.
When the third saw that the jew was SO
well versed in the Bible he tried him In
different way.
"Who." said he, '.prolongs his work to
as great length As poss'bIe' and COM
pletes il in timer
..The ropemsker. if he is industrious"
said the jew.
In the mean time they drew near to a
village, and one said to the other:
THAT is Bamlatch."
The fourth asked;
sin what month do the people Of Bam-
latch eat the least ?" m
