Stale Joke.

Hierocles, who lived in the sixth
century, collected twenty-one jests un-
the general title of the Pedants, and
in this fossil textbook we find jokes
that have been handed down through
succeeding collections and have be-
come old familiar friends. Among
these ancient jests is the account Of
the man, who, for fear of drowning,
determined not to enter the water un-
til he was master of the art of swim
ming; of the man who complained
that his horse died just as he had
taught it to live without food Of the
philosopher who carried stone about
him as specimen of his house of one
who stood before a glass with his eyes
shut to see how he looked when he
was asleep; of the man who bought q
COW to see whether it would live two
hundred years; and Of one who went
into boat on horseback, because he
was in a hurry. Here we find the
evernew story of man who meeting
friend, asked whether it was he or
his brother, who was buried and the
blundering excuse of the person who,
not having attended to the request of
friend, said when he met him, "I'm
sorry / never received the letter which
you wrote to me about the books. l"
Rev. Mr.. Hartly, of Philadelphia,
must, we should imagine, have come
fresh from the perusal of Hierocles
when he forwarded to M. Theirs last
year one of the original bricks of In
dependence Hall in that city, with
the earnest prayer that the legislators
of beautiful France may derive from
it such an aspiration as shall lead them
to erect a republic, whose dignity,
justice and purity shall be the admira-
tion of our age, and which shall prove
a model for other nations in securing
the rights and liberties of their peo-
ple."

How Joe Lost His Bet.

An old fellow named Joe Poole,
very eccentric and an incorrigible slut
terer, was a constant lounger at
tavern in Waterford, Me.
One day a traveller from a distant
part Of the State, arrived at the tav.
ern and was met by an old acquaint-
ance, resident of the town. After
some conversation on different topics,
the traveller was addressed as follows:
"By the way, Brown, look out for
old Joe Poole tonight. You will
know him quick enough by his stutter-
ing. He will be sure to come around,
and offer to bet that you've not got a
whole shirt to your back. If you take
HIM up, you'll surely loose by a trick
he's got. He invariably lays his wager
and always wins"
every WE'LL" said the traveller, II
will not let him get ahead of me.
Much obliged for the caution"
The evening came, and a large
crowd was collected in the bar room.
Our friends were there, and old Joe
Poole was presented and in his ele-
ment.

"I'll take the bet," said the stran.

off coat, and was about following suit

There was roar Of laughter, bu
the newcomer did not mind it, bu
pulled off his vest too, and quietly
turning his back to Joe displayed t.
his astonished gazes shirt neatly

OF course, the laugh was turned up
on Poole, who acknowledged that h,

material for DeFoe's Robinson Cru
soe" This island, little thought of by
the inhabitants of the Chilean coast
land, has lately become of some inter-
est by the fact that in December, 1869
it was ceded to a society of Germany,
under the guidance of Robert Wehr-
ham, an engineer of Saxony, for the
purpose of colonization. The entire
prenetr of the expedition, Robert
Wehrham, left Germany eleven years
ago, passed several years in England,
served as major through the Ameri-
can war, and was subsequently engaged
as engineer with the Ceropasco rail-
road in South America. He and his
society, about sixty or seventy indi-
viduals, have taken possession of the
island, which is described as being a
most fertile ard lovely spot. They
found there countless herds of goats,
some thirty half-wild horses and sixty
donkeys, the latter animals proving to
be exceedingly shy. They brought
withithem cows and other cattle, swine,
numerous fowls, and all the various
kinds of agricultural implements, with
boats and fishing apparatus. to engage
in different pursuits and occupations

been afflicted with chronic rheumatism for
Thirty years, from his right hip to his foot,
having to use a crutch and cane, at times
so painful as to utterly incapacitate him
from attending TO his business. Having
tried every remedy known, without effect,
except Gillilands Pain Killer, he was
finally induced TO try it. A second applica-
tion enabled him to lay aside his crutch,
and a third effected permanent cure. Mr..
Bell is a popular and well-known citizen,
is living monument of the effacacy of
that great medical discovery, Gilliland's s
Pain Killer. The afflicted should ask their
grocer or druggist for it, and try its won

for the truth of which it vouches: "A

long period of time, owing to the fact
that the latter retired to bed ere the
former returned home, and in the
morning the father left before the son
got out of bed, One morning the lady
of the house managed to get the father
and son together at the breakfast table,
and by way of joke remarked: Son,
let me introduce you to your father
