Repairing Fences.

There is a great deal of work that

Lion in a Divorce Suit.

A very queer divorce suit has come
before the courts at Bale. A certain
gentleman of Switzerland went to
Paris, and having poured out many
libations to Bacchus went Off to in
spect a travelling menagerie. THE
pride OF this menagerie was a lion
cub, who, having been left an or
phan at tender age, was being
brought up with much maternal
solicitude by large dog, who, bav-
ing also lost her puppies, had adopted
the forlorn stranger. The Swiss, on
seeing this interesting couple, was
moved to tears, and offered so large
a price for the foster mother and
nursing that the owner eagerly
closed with him.
Meantime the Swiss returned to
the cOnjugal domicile, became him.
self again, and forgot both his emo
ton and his purchase, until a letter
arrived for him that his lion was on
the way. His wife, who was jealous
OF him, opened the letter, and, after
investigation, discovered that the
dinner and the baby lion were ac-
quired in joyous feminine company,
so, her conjugal ire being excited,
she left her husband, vowing she
would divorce him because of the
lion and other indiscretions, and as
she naturally took away her own pri-
vate fortune on her departure the
poor man is left lamenting with a
healthy lion, an enfeebled pocket
book, an empty house and vague
hope that perhaps the lion, who is
the unconscious author of his woe,
will one day grow up and eat him,
thus insuring release from this
troublesome world. Paris letter.
