A shrewd Poet.

There is n story told Of a poor Greek
poet who lived in Rome at the time of
the Emperor Augustus. It shows us
that wit often succeeds where merit
fails.
The poet was anxious to gain favor
with the emperor. Every morning he
waited at the palace door, and us the
emperor passed out the poet presented
him with verse or an epiGram that
he had composed The emperor accept
ed the poetry, but never paid the poet
anything. Indeed, his presumption
rather amused the emperor, and. being
one day In a merry humor, he wrote a
verse himself and handed it gravely to
the poet, who waited for him, as usual.
Mt the gate.
The poet, with ready wit, pulled out
his purse and emptied the two or three
coppers It contained Into the emperor's
hand
more, but I give you my ability! If
were as rich as you, great Caesar,
would pay a much greater price for
verses"
And it is pleasant to be told that the
emperor thought the joke worth 1000
crowns.

The HAPPY Man.

A certain king once upon time fell
into n state of deep melancholy. Court
physicians could do nothing for him
and were in despair, when a certain
very wise man bethought himself Of
the well known cure or sleeping In the
shirt OF a perfectly happy man over
night. So courtIers were dispatched
everywhere in search of the shirt of n
perfectly happy man. One by one they
returned from their fruitless search
throughout the vnst kingdom. At last
only one courtier remained out, and
he, too, began to despair of finding the
shirt of a perfectly happy man. 1t
was just about twilight and he was
riding over a village green, when he
was attracted by the careless laughter
Of a disreputable beggar who was
stretched full length upon the sward.
Are you are a perfectly happy man?'
demanded the courtier, refining in his
horse. "You bet" said the beggnr.
"A thousand crowns for the loan OF
your shirtI' "But 1 amt got none"
replied the beggar.
