GRAFT THAT FAILED.

When Alb del Hakk was poor he was
one day travelling across a weary plain,
says the author of Life in Morocco"
and was very hungry. So he came TO
the house of the Widow Zaidah, who
was also poor; but when he made
known his want she set before him two
hard-boiled eggs, all the food there was
in her house. Later, when Alb del
Hakk lived in Marakesh and was very
rich, Meludi, the lawyer, disliking him,
persuaded the Widow Zaidah to sue
him for the eggs; but not for the eggs
alone, for they would have become two
chickens. which in time would have
so multiplied that the whole fortune
of Alb del Hakk would not now pay
for them. When the case came to trial
the rich man was not in court. why
is the defendant not here?" demanded
the judge. MY lord" said his attor-
ney, he is gone to sow boiled beans"
Boiled beans?'' He is very wise, my
lord" Thou mockestr' surely, my
lord, if hard-boiled eggs can be hatch
ed, boiled beans will grow" The suit
was promptly dismissed, with costs to
the plaintiff.

SOUNDING BRASS"

In Dean Ramsay's book of anecdotes
there is one which refers to a CONVEX
sation between a Scotch minister and
a sexton. The minister was stranger
to the gravernaker, and discussed with
him the doctrines of the neighboring
clergy. AS one after another was mem
toned, the sexton wagged his head
gloomily, and said, Hes no sound"
At last the minister-who was, blythe
by, a long-winded and rather empty
preacher-mentioned his own name, and
inquired: "Mr.-- now, isn't he
sound?'' 100, aye said the sexton,
with a twinkle in his eye. Hes ANY
