"My money says I'm not.''
There was another roar of laughter, and

not anxious to confine his betting, though.
He bad money in abundance, and he COW
cred all that was offered with an innocent
confidence in the soundness of his manner
of speech. Then, when the money was all
up, dictionary was producad. 1t was a
shocking revelation! Those young men SIM

1t was really enough TO throw lot of
nice young men into cold Transportation.

A SMALL BOYS LETTER.-In the follow
ing specimen of boys letter, there is such
truth of characterize much of that spirit
of drollery mixed with mischief, which
often prevails in the young human being
of the male sex-that with him, we declare
it to be capital fun" The letter proceeds
from country boy to his friend in town"
"Now, Bob, I'll tell you what l want.
l want you to come down here for the holt
days. Ask your sister to ask your mother
to ask your father to let you come. Its
only ninety miles. The two 'prentices,
George and Will, are here to be made farm
ers of; and brother Nick is took home from
school, to help the agriculture. We like
farming very much: its capital fun. Us
four have got gun and go out shooting;
it's famous good one, and sure to go off
if you don't full cock it. Tiger is to be
our shooting dog, as soon as he leaves off
killing sheep. He's real savage, and wor-
ries cats beautifully. Before father comes
down we mean to bait one bull with him.
There's plenty of new rivers round here,
and we're going a-fishing, as soon as we
have mended the top joint. We've pony,
too, to ride on, when we can catch him;
but he's loose now, and has neither name
nor tail to signify to lay hold of. Isn't it
prime, Bob? You must come. If your
mother wont give your father leave to
allow you-run away. Remember you turn
up Goswell street to go to Lincolnshire and
ask for Middleton Hall. There's pond
full of frogs, but we wont pelt them till
you come, but let it be before Sunday as
there's our own orchard to rob and the
fruits to be gathered on Monday. If you
like sucking raw eggs, we know where all
the hens lay, and mother don't; and I'm
bound there's lots of birds nests. Do
come, Bob, and I'll show you the wasp's
nest and anything that can make you com

your fathers volunteer musket of him
without his knowing anything about it,
but be sure anyhow to bring the ramrod,
as we mslaid ours by firing it off. Good

How THEY TRADED--Two Detroit
ministers happened to meet at blacksmith
shoy yesterday morning, each with horse
to be shod, and after hearty hand shake
one of them said:
&c Well how'll you trade horses?"
ooh, don't know, replied the other, in
a careless way. sHow old is your horse ?'
"Just eight years DID,"
While mine is only SEVEN" said the
second. 81 will also state that he is per-
fectly sound in all respects, so far as l
know"
'And so is mine, but yet think I'll
give you $40 to boot"
Say $50 and its trade
sob, l couldn't do that, but I'll make it
$15."
After some further higgling an exchange
was made in consideration of that sum-
and the horses were left to be shod and
sent home. After the ministers were gone
few men, possessed of an eye to horse
flesh, looked the animals over. The eight
year old horse was over twelve, some said
nearly sixteen. The seven. year old was at
least eleven. One had a SPAWN, bad hind
leg and the heaves, and the other had corns
on three feet, was growing blind. and show
