Curran,s Innenuifu.

A farmer attending fair with a hun
dred pounds in his pocket took the pre-
caution of depositing it in the hands OF
the landlord of the public house at which
he stopped. Having occasion for it
shortly afterwards. he resorted to mine
host for payment. But the landlord, too
deep for the countryman, wondered what
he meant, and was quite sure no such
sum had ever been lodged in his hands
by the astonished rustic. After ineffect-
ual appeals to the recollection, and
finally to the honor of Bardolph, the
farmer applied to Curran for advice.
Have patience. my friend" said the
counsel "speak to the landlord civilly-
tell him you have left your money with
some other person. Take friend with
you aud lodge with him another hundred
in the presence of your friend, aud come
to me-"
He did so. and returned to his legal
friend.
"And now | can't see how i am going
TO be better off for this. II get my sec
ond hundred back again. But how is
that TO be done ?"
"Go and ask him for it when he is
alone" said the counsel.
AYE, sir, but asking won't do. am
afraid. without my witness. at any rate"
Never mind; you take my advice"
said bis counsel; "do as l bid you and
return TO me-"
The farmer returned with his hundred,
glad TO find that safely in his possession.
Now, sir, l must be content, but |
don't see that Pm much better off,"
"Well then," said the counsel, "now
take your friend and along with you and
ask your landlord for the hundred pounds
your friend saw you leave with him."
We need not say that the willy land
lord found he had been taken off his
guard, while our honest friend returned
to thank mis- counsel exultingly, with
both hundreds in his pocket.
