charrie'finu; if seem( fraught With
preetical worldly Wi clout; however.
The proprietor of the - several
theatres indorsed th advice, and
Said I might have his handsome
new ?pen, hops& at h If price—fifty
dollars. In sheer (lest, eration I took
it—on credit, for -su i dent, reason' s.
In thl•ee days I did a hundred and
fifty dollars worth' o printing and
advertising, and was the most dis-

was facetiousness in- the, line of my

those three days of suspen8e dragged

at first, grew steadily More ancl raore

could not bring a coffn on the stage
and tarn the thing in o a funeral. I
was so panic stricken at last that I
went to three old fri n 8, giants in
stature, cordial by natl. e, and stormy
voiced, and said:
"This thing isgoto be a fail-
ure; the jokes in it a e so dint that
nobody will ever see hem. I would

like to have you sit iu the parquette

They said they w uld. -Then I
went to the wife of a (Spitler cit.zaa,

before the `fowls got ictff their roost.
He tried agh.-Tualaut -the thief did
not come that night. At length a
happy idea oecturred to hitn• by
whiGh he could obtain revenue on
the robber.' He had a large eagle,
a fierce bird, with strong talons, and
having cleared his hennery of fowls
and placed them in a, ,secure pla6e,
he • pat the eagle on their roost.
That night cur friend sat up late .
and he was, awakened from a sound
nap into which he had fallen, by -de
monical yells from the 'Stable. He
ran out with a light, and found his
plan was as decided success. A
Ftenchn3a.n was, standing under the
rOost, swearing and roaring with
terror, while the eagle, with one
claw.fast on the roost and the other
stuck into the thief's scalp, was pick-
ing with his strong beak until the,
blood streamed down his face. The.
enraged bird could not be prevailed
on to let go his grip, until he -was
stunned by a blow on the head from

Sheep Washing.
It is hardly yet the season for the

time to consider whether sarnethjirig

be brought , ineo use. Now, w len
Sheep washing day has come, the
fiu•met and his assistants don all the
old clothes there are in the.hor se,
and proceed to drive the sh ep,
often a distance of three or f ur
miles, to some creek, on the ban of
which a pen receives the flock, w ile

He was - reared from the nursery
in the aith that the end of animal

terrier. As the reward of boyish
good c nduct, he •was permitted to
see his pet cocks peck each other to
death, and he would clap his small
hands ith delight while his friend
the gre t mastiff of the yard rolled
over a d.over with his fangs locked
in. a eath woriy. Soin a 'match
against time he would trot a favorite
horse t the gates of death, through
