SHARP As WELL rs WISE.

A Hindoo priest called in all the members of
a large family, one of whom was known to have
committed theft, and addressed them thus
"fake each of you one of these sticks, which
are of an equal length, and put them under
your pillows to night. / do not at present
know the offender, but you must return the
sticks to me to morrow morning and the one
belonging to the thief will have grown an inch
during the night"
The i.amily retired to rcst; but before he
went to slee,, the man who had committed the
theft thinking to outwit the priest cunningly
cut off an inch from lis stick, firmly beiev-
ing, by this means, to attain the length OF the
others by the next morning. The Seeks were
returned, and, by comparing them, the priest
was instantly able to pitch upon the offender,
to his great surprise and dismay.
Here is another instance of similar acute
ness
In a certain city a large quantity of cotton
had been stolen. The cotton-dealers brought
their complaints before the king. Notwith-
thieves remained undiscovered. An aimer
said that, if he were commanded, he could dis
cover the thieves, and the king ordered him to
do so. The Amer went home, and under pre-
tence of making feast, invited all the men of
the city, small and great.
When all the people met together, and had
seated themselves the aimer joined the compa-
ny, and looking every man in the face, said
"What il-born impudent blockheads these
men are, who, having stole the cotton, are
come to my feast with it sticking on their
boards ?
Some persons Instantly put their hands to
theirbeards, and thereby discovered themselves
to be the thieves. The king rewarded the
aimer for the continuance.

A BURYINo GROUND OF GIANTs.-Ou the
farm of Mr.. Harrison Whaley, near Moorfield,
in Carlisle Co., KY, is a skirt of woods which
possesses characteristics of deep interest.
About three inches beneath Che surface of the
entire tract may be found innumerable bones,
evidently the remains of an extinct species Of
the human race. Several mounds are also in
the woods, and in one which has been partially
explored were found skulls and bones which
from their size must have belonged to a race
of beings far more gigantic than the race
which now inliabits the earth. In this mound
were also found many clay utensils /; also arrow
heads cut out of the solid rock and pipes OF
the same material. Snch memorial of the
past starts many inquiries. Was the place
once a battle-ground, where the aborgincs
fought to maintain the glory of their respec-
tive tribes? Or was it common burial
ground? The first seems to be the most
plausible theory, inasmuch as the whole tract,
covering at least fifteen acres, has multitudes
of human bones but few inches beneath the
surface. 1t is evident they were never buried,
but originally lay exposed to view, until the
accumulated deposits of time formed the black,
rich soil which covers them. But whatever
theory may be adopted, it is certain that these
bony materials antedatc history and furnish
another proof of how little is known of the
races and tribes who tourished, it may be-
centuries ago.
