Diminished vitality is early indicat-

One Good Turn.

Apractical joke that has far more humor
and far less sting than most OF its dubious
class is recorded in Cornhill. According
to a contributor to the magazine, gold
has not infrequenty been found buried
in the neighborhood OF Canara, in ltay,
and many stories are still circulated in
that locality concerning hidden treasure.
A most curious experience was that ol
quarryman who in one of his rambles
stumbled on an old deserted quarry,
within which, half-buried in grass and
brambles, lay an enormous block ol
heavy marble.
On examining if, he found number oi
letters rudely cut, and half-hidden under
a crust OF dirt. With some difficulty ne
managed to spell out the words:
BLESSED is he who shall turn me over.
The man at once jumped to the con-
clusion that he had stumbled on hidden
treasure, and that his fortune was made
He rushed home and collected some of
his friends to aid him in the recovery oi
the concealed gold. After much hard
labor, they succeeded in turning TIE hoary
giant over. Another rude inscription
met their eager eyes:
Thanks, my friends. ! am weary o.
reposing so long IN one position.
