ESOP REVISED.

Once there was a Boy left 10 tend n flock of Sheep, and being impeled by the spirit of mischief in the absence of spirits of another variety, he amused himself by crying "Wolf 1" when no Wolf was nigh.
 The people of the neighborhood were greatly terrified, and hastily arming them selves with whatever weapons they could command, rushed to the spot to defend the Sheep from the ruthless invader.
 When they discovered the April fool that was played upon them they were mad, but the Boy mocked them and laughed and called them "Rubes, term that he picked up at the circus.
 He fooled them several times that way, but at length the Wolf did come, and when he cried out no one believed him and no one hurried to his assistance. You may expect to read that the Boy was torn in pieces and devoured, and you are doubt less prepared to say it served him right, but nothing of the kind happened. He wasn't that kind of Boy.
 He had made arrangements with one of Barnum's agents whose business it was to secure animals for the Greatest Show on Earth, and when the Wolf put in an appearance with an appetite week old, expecting to make a meal of the Boy, aH had been usual in all previous versions of this fable, he was ensnared by the agents men and shipped to Bridgeport for identi- fication, classification and moral instruo- ton, preparatory to being put on the road. The boy was rewarded with position as candy butcher with the Show, where he amassed handsome fortune in n single season by dexterously counting both ends of dollar bills in making change to custom CTS.
 The Boy became Wolf himself Ter as Sgftings.

A LIVING NECKLACE.
moved.

The mss. of the following somehow es. capped the attention of the office cat, and the story is to be credited to the New York Sun:
 Mrs. Fenton, of North Bergen, N. J., is alleged to be the possessor of a white cat with living necklace. The necklace is a slender blacksnake, about two feet long, its dark color showing in marked contrast to the cats white coat. About a mouth ago the cat went bounding into the break fast room, missing and splitting in par. oxysm of terror. Her alarm was quickly shared by the Fenton family, who were at the table, when they ascertained that she was half strangled by snake that had coiled itself around her neck. She seem- ed unable to help herself either with teeth or claws, and her friends undertook to as- sist her with sticks and umbrellas. They chased her around the room, whacking away vigorously at her, missing the snake, but hitting the Cat every time, until pus- sy, not approving of this mode of deliver ance, sprang wildly out of the open win dow and ran away.
 For three days Mrs. Fenton mourned for her cat as for one dead. Then her pet returned, still wearing the reptile neck lace. She was tranquil now, however, and seemed to like the situation, resisting every effort to remove the serpent. A saucer of milk was placed before her, and as she lapped it up the snake uncoiled part of its body, lowered its head into the saucer, and the two drank amicably to- gether. This singular friendship has con- tinued. The creatures are almost insep. arabic. When the snake occasionally un- coils to stretch itself the cat grows very uneasy. They feed together, and when the snake eats too fast the cat pushes its head to one side. The snake signifies its disap- proval of unseemly voracity on the part of the cat in the same manner.

Nominating the Wrong Man.

We asserted and repeated the fact
that Mr.. Wattles was a Republican lin
short we knew he had never voted any
other ticket, when he was nominated as
one Of Third Party Presidential Electors
the 18th, inst. There seems to be dis
position to take this with "a grain of al.
lowance" in some parts of the State. We
give below his reply to the Secretary OF
the Executive Committee of the Prohi-
bitlOn Party, when notified of the action
of the convention. The letter of Mr..
Wattles IS explicit and ought to settle
the question Of his pOlitics.-ED.
BENNINGTON, VT, June %, 1888.
REV. GEO. l.. STORY, Sec, etc.
My DEAR SIR;-Yours of a late date
informing me of the unanimous action
Of the late Prohibition Convention In
placing my name on the board OF presi-
dental electors, is received.
In reply, while acknowledging the
courtesy shown, / must decline the
honor. My sympathies are with the
principle of Prohibition, but not with its
development as a political party. l
am a Republican and believe that the
true interests of temperance are best
conserved (when administered politi-
cally), by the party to which belong,
and to which l have given lifelong
adherence.
All the prohibitory legislation we have
had in Vermont, has been enacted by
the Republican party, and do not feel
willing to lend my.influence in any way
to take votes from it and give to the
Democracy which does not profess to be
in favor Of temperance, as should do
were to accept the place now offered
by you.
Therefore l beg to decline the nomi-
nation.
Cordially yours,
GEO. A. WATTLEs.
