OLD STORY RETOLD.

Many amusing anecdotes are related
of John Randolph, of Virginia. One
night when travelling through the "Oid
Dominion he stopped at an inn near
the forks of two roads. The innkeeper
was fine old gentleman, and knowing
who his distinguished guest was, he en-
deavored during the evening to draw
him into conversation, but failed. But
in the morning, when Mr.. Randolph
was ready to start, he called for his bill
and paid it. The landlord, still anx-
ious to have some conversation, tackled
him again.
Which way are you travelling, Mr..
Randolph"
"sir?' said Mr. Randolph, with a
look of dispIeasure.
Il asked, said the landlord, which
way you are travelling"
Have paid you my bill?"
Yes"
do l owe you anything more?"
NO
"Well, / am going just where 1
please; do you understand"
Yes"
The landlord by this time got some
what excited and Mr.. Randolph drove
of. But to the landlords surprisesin a
few minutes he sent one Of his servants
TO inquire which OF the forks Of the
road to take. Mr.. Randolph still being
within hearing distance. the landlord
yelled at the top OF his voice:
Mr. Randolph, you don't owe me one
cent; take whichever road you please. .
