A WOMAN FOOLS THE DEVIL

If you want TO know how tho nat
ural bridge waS built across the Myn.
ach river in Wales, this is the true
story:
Once upon time an old woman had
COW, that fed on the Crown folder
mountain, and came home night and
morning TO be MIXED. Ono evening
she did not come, and the old lady,
much troubled, went to fetch her.
When she came to where the Mynach
flows between two high rocks, she saw
the COW on the other side.
Then she set up loud lamentation,
for she saw the COW could not come 10
her, and she could not 60 TO the COW,
for the river could not be crossed, and
it was n days journey to 90 around.
In this straight the devil appeared.
$50 so, you've lost your COW, old lady,
have you? Never mind, III build you
bridge, and you shall 90 fetch her
"Thankcc kindly, sir III be much
obliged to you if you will" and she
curtsied low and with much humility.
ITO be suro | will !" and he cast a
look at her out Of the corner Of his eye.
"But the COW is worth something
must have toll; keep that dog quiet
can't you?'-for the old woman had a
cur dog that kept on growing and
grumbling.
"IIarkee, old lady--if | build you
the bridge, III have the first that
crosses it. Is it bargain"
She was sorely troubled. If she
went over for the COW, she had sold
herself to the devil; and if the Cow
came TO her, she lost her COW.
"Bridge or no BRIDGE SAID the
devil.
Build the bridge, sir, if you please.
GAY, ay,' said the devil, cts very
easy to say build the bridge, but Do
You agree to the toll ~
eyes; sure, SIR, replied the woman.
With that tho devil put both ms
foreiiugcrs to his mouth, and gave a
-hrill whistle; and there was the
bridge cure enough, and the devil sit
ting on the middle Of il, rocking to
and fro, smiling away like clock-work
and switching his tail with great 7ati..
faction.
The old woman shook like an q pen
leaf, but she took crust Of bread flom
her pocket and showing it to the dog,
throw it over the bridge and past the
devil where he sat in tho middle.
Whip that dog" said the devil,
for he was cut 10 the quick at being
outwittcd by the old woman, but he
did not want the dog, and he did not
try to stop him, and the bridge was
crossed, aud the spell broken lie was
mortified and angry, but, being q gen.
tloman, he arose and dotted his hat to
the old lady--for the keen respect the
keen and having done SO, he hung
his tail, much humbled, and walked
away,
And the old chronicler who records
this fact comments thus on the Incl.
deut at must be Acknowledged that
Satan behaved very houorably and
kept his word-which is more than
men always do"
