The old Mnn,s ReRret.

A prudent, but rather penurious old
farmer in a neighboring county, who had
lived long life with an economical and
industrious wife, until by their joint efforts,
a hadsome property had been accumulated,
took much pleasure in telling those who
conversed with him, that "he'd allus ben
lucky-never had days sickness, nor the
old woman nuther, nor hadn't never lost
nuthin of any account"
But the tickle goddess at length deserted
him. On certain Wednesday night, after
the harvest had been gathered, his house,
barns, outbuildings, and all they contained,
were destroyed by fire. The blow stagger-
ed the old man, and when his cup of grief
was filed by the death of his wife on the
Friday following, the sufferer became so
confused and bewildered, that, to use his
own his language, he "hardly knew which
from tother." On the day Of the funeral,
the minister, just previous to the com
mencement of the services, took his seat
by the side of the widower, and began to
condole with him:
"Allow me, my dear sir, to sympathize
with you under this bereavement; you
have indeed experienced a loss-a great
loss which time cannot wholly repair; yet,
my dear sir, you must remember that to
these dispensations we are all subject, and
you must not forget that by these means
you are insured"
What was to follow is not known, as
the reverend gentleman was here interrupted
by the absent or worldly-minded sufferer,
with
"Not a cent, not a cent I'd allus ben so
lucky didn't think twas any use-and
here's good Ave thousand dollars gone,
besides Polly, and she was worth two
hired gals, old as she was. No, not cent

The minister coughed, and seemed about
to explain, but upon rejecting a moment,
concluded to commence the ceremonial
without doing so, which he did, though
the bereaved sat all the while as though

A Good Dog Story.

The best dog story that has actually &C.
CURED in real life was in connection with
a toll-gate upon the Great North road. 1t
was kept by two sisters, who were very
tmid, and especially in winter time, when
the impossibility of getting to the town to
bank their money caused them to have
considerable sums in their keeping. A
blacksmith of their acquaintance called one
day and made light of their apprehensions.
"The night mail goes by at midnight, and
the patrol at all times" he said, land be-
sides, your doors and windows are very
strongly barred" "That is true enough"
they replied, "but our bedroom window is
not barred, and a burglar has only to put
up the chicken ladder against 1t and we
should be at his mercy" Then a peddler
came by whom they knew, and their talk
with the blacksmith had so increased their
fears that they besought him for that night
TO guard the house for them. He said: ~
can't do that, but here's my mastiff dog,
and / will leave him with you till morning.
pity the burglar that he once gets hold
of" The poor women put the dog in their
bedroom, and in the dead of the night they
heard the chicken ladder placed against
their window; and the mastiff heard it, and
commented upon it in very deep but low
tones. When a man with a black mask
made his way in at the window he was re-
ceived by the faithful animal, who flew at
his throat and pinned him to the floor.
The poor women had seen quite enough of
this exciting contest, and fled away, half
dressed, over the snow to the blacksmith's
cottage, which was the nearest habitation
to the toll. gate tut the blacksmith was not
at home. He was, in fact, very particular
ly engaged at that moment with the mas
tiff, and in the morning was found unmask-
ed and dead at his feet.-LOndOn Letter By
