Court that his late Majesty had thought
Baxter worthy of bishopric. And

called Baxter dog and swore it would

He's safe enough there" said third,
Z" for he has no more TO risk"
Here, however, everybody was mis-
taken again, for the peddler hauled out
an old greasy pocket book and planked
the thousand dollars. 1t was covered, of
course. But confess i now began to
be staggered; and to suspect the Yam

purse now as my own property. In i'm

putting in my pocket, when, 10 and be-
hold the peddler's horse, which was be-
hind all the rest, suddenly shot forward
as if the devil kicked him on end, and
stretching his neck like crane, won the
heat by head,
Every body was astonished. "That
horse must be the devil himself" said
one. cat least, he has the devil to
back him." said third 81 was sure he
would play you some Yankee trick be-
fore he got through" Such we're the
observations that passed from mouth to
mouth.
The Yankee, in the meantime, offered
to plank another thousand dollars, but
nobody would take the bet. And it was
well they didn't; for at the third, Sleepy
David not only distanced every horse
but even came in full quarter of mile
ahead of Southron himself.
There, by gauly said the Yankee,
as he dismounted, "I'll take that are
leetie purse if you please, and the tother
cool thousand l knew well enough that
your Southern horses couldn't hold a

ONE BETTER.-It is not small thing
for member of Congress to be honest
in small matters, so it is right to applaud
the late Senator Sumner for refusing to
give a package of franked envelopes to
an applicant, because it would be yjo-
lation of the law. We have an equally
good and on the whole more racy anec-
dote to relate of the Hon. Homer f,
Royce; so good that be will pardon us
for not postponing it for use as a post
mortem. He had taken bis seat some
minutes before the House was called to
order, and a hummer of the lobby i'm
proved the opportunity to ask him to
frank a letter. The Congressman sat
himself back with all the dignity and
deliberation of his uncle-the chief ius-
tice-slowly drew his wallet from his
pocket, and as slowly investigated the
till he had found a three cent
piece, which he presented to the beggar
without word of comment.-Montpelier

Little Freddy Warner is male child
of some five summers growth, and hi:
mother, like all good mothers, never lets
slip an opportunity to impress upon her
offspring's mind some good practical OF
moral lesson. She had given little Fred
a fine apple, and said to him: Now,
Freddy, you must give half of the ap-
pie to your brother Georgey, and when
you divide anything with another per-
son you must always be sure and give
them the larger half" Yes, mamma, .
replied the little philosopher, looking
sharply at the famous big apple in his
hand, then suddenly looking up into his
mothers face, he said: "Dear mamma,
you take the apple and give it to brother
Georgey, and let him divide it with me. Z"
