THE MULE.

Many years ago Florentino gems
tleman had mule so vicious that
his groom and servants could hardly
approach it without receiving kick
or bite. It's master after employing
in vain every means to render it
more tractable resolved to expose the
creature to the Wild beasts in the
menagerie Of the Grand Duke. A
lion was accordingly let loose, whose
roaring would have frightened any
other animal, but the mule wisely
retired without showing any signs of
fear to a corner of the court, in which
he could only be attacked from be-
hiud, where its greatest strength lies,
and there awaited the attack of its
enemy, observing ihim all the while
from the corner of its eye, and pre-
senting its crupper. The lion, SEN
siblo Of the difficulty of the assault,
empoyed all his address to catch his
foe at a disadvantage. At length
the mule saw a chance, and gave him
SO violent kick that nine or ten of
his teeth were broken, the fragments
flying in all directions. The king of
beasts acknowledged defeat and re-
treated to his den, leaving the mule
master Of fac field.

On the ID inst, toward evening,
a young son of Mr.. A. Thompson,
who lives about eight and a half
miles from town southwark, was
passing over hill on the farm of
Mr.. Gibbs Myers, a neighbor, IN

MORE DOGS THAN He WANTED.

An editor in Reading, Pa, adver
tised the other day that he "would
take a good dog in payment of one
years subscription" for his paper.
The next day forty three dogs were
sent to the office. The day after
ward, when the news had spread out
into the country, four hundred farms
ers had sent two dogs apiece by ex-
press, with eight baskets full of pup
pies, all marked {. O. ID. In the
meantime the offer found its way in
to neighboring States, and before the
end Of the week there were eight
thousand dogs tied up with ropes in
the editors front and back yards
The assortment included all the
kinds, from the blood>houndS down
to poodles A few hundred broke
loose and swarmed on the stairways
and in the entries, and stood outside
the sanctum and howled, and had
fights, and shifted under the cracks
of the door as if they we're hungry
for some editor. And the editor
climbed out the window, up the wa
ter-spout and out on the comb Of the
roof and wept. There was no issue
Of the paper for six days, and the
only way the friends Of the eminent
journalist could feed him was by
sending lunch up TO him in balloons.
At last somebody bought barrel Of
arsenic and three tons Of beef, and
poisoned the dogs, and the editor
came down only to find on his desk
bill from the Mayor for S., 900, being
the municipal tax on dogs at one
dollar per head. He is not Offering
the same inducements to subscribers
now, and doesn't want dog.
