How They Got Home.

Closing time was passed, and all the
guests of a saloon at Berlin, Germany, had
left the place except four, who had fallen
asleep over their glasses. They were so
drunk that the proprietor failed to wake
them. Having called cab, he and cabby
carried the sleepers to the coach and
seated them in it. The hostler then gave
instructions to deliver sleeper on front
seat at q house on Frederick street, sleeper
1 on back seat In William street, and so
on for sleeper 2 on front and on back
seats. Cabby took his pay in advance and
drove off. Ten minutes later every light
in the saloon was extinguished, and pro-
prietor and walters commenced snoring
musically, Their rest did not last long,
however. A loud ringing of the saloon
bell awakened the bartender, who jumped
out of bed, put on hastily gown and
ran down stairs. Whom should he find at
the door but cabby. II am not used to
the general parcel business" he said,
'and so forgot to have them labeled. On
the way they tumbled over one another,
and cannot make out which is which,"
Then the saloon man marked each of the
four with a name written on stiff paper
and stitched to the coat lapel, paid an
other fare, and the cabby proceeded once
more on his trip, delivering each man &C.
cording to the direction given for his
label.-Foreign Letter.
