A sHRewo SCHEME.

A Boston restaurant keeper was stand
ing In front Of his establishment grum-
bling at the hard times and lamenting
his fate. Although he could see people
walking up and down the streets, they
all seemed to avoid him; and even the
visitors to the town, who could not be
supposed to know anything about his
place, seemed to avoid Il instinctively.
He meditated much on his misfortune,
and racked his brains TO devise some
scheme that would improve his business.
At last an idea occurred to him.
Going to brOnze-founder, he ordered
several peculiar tablets such as are seen
In different parts Of Boston on the fronts
of houses to commemorate the birthplace
or boarding house Of some one or an
other OF the city's great men. Fastening
these tablets on conspicuous parts OF his
building, he laid In q large supply Of
eatables, and awaited the result.
Now the great point about~these
tablets Was that they were utterly unin-
telligible-the inscriptions being half.
obliterated Latin-but their effect was
electrical. Every true B0stonian glanced
ct them, took It for granted that The
restaurant WAS one Of the many with .
historic flavor, and patronised Il ct once.
The strangers that Visited the city looked
at the tablets hopelessly, then patron
ised the house II the hope that they
would ind some one who could explain
The strange inscriptions. -Harpe1's
