Something of a Story.?As an illustration' of the "colossal liare" of 1 the west, General McCook relates the following: He was traveling among i the Rocky mountains and, straying < one morning from the trail, stood for a moment entranced by the magnifi- . cent landscape spread before him, 1 when he was aroused from hiB medi- ' tation by the footsteps of one of the ( guides who had followed him lest he | should lose his way. "Is not this magnificent, Bill ?" exclaimed the general, anxious to share ' in his delight. "It's mighty purty, general," said 1 the guide, "but I kin show you bigger sights nor this. Why, one time Kan- < * ? ? * ! sas Jim ana me uau uveu inampiu three days and nights, and we came i to a plain, and right in the midst of it was a forest all turned to solid stun I" f The general smiled and remarked: < "I have heard of petrified trees before, ] Bill." The guide expectorated without < changing countenance, and continued, ] "But that warn't all, gineral; thar i war a buffalo on the plain and he war petrified on the clean jump, and his < huffs had kicked up a bit of sod, and ( I'm blamed ef that warn't petrified in j the air!" The general turned an amused j countenance on the narrator and said,: . "Why Bill, the sod would have fallen ^ to the ground by foroe of gravity." Without any hesitation Bill answered, "Well, gineral, the gravity T was petrified too I" J Boy and Bird.?There was an old minister who used to preach in a j church in western New York who } never allowed any levity among hi? oongregation, and kept a rigid watch . over the young people of his charge. ! On one occasion a foolish youth sat 1 in one of the front pewB and created a * stir by lunging at some object that flew in through the open window, f The old minister was purblind, but he peered over his glasses and saw some, 1 thing flying about the witless youthwho was fighting tooth and nail. j . ? ?! A , "mere I mere, sonny," uc oam, i with authority, "never mind the j bird." Then he resumed his discourse, but ? the congregation seemed more inter* i ested in the youth and his contortions \ than in the sermon, and he stopped and again peered over his spectacles ( at the flying object and the boy. r "D'ye hear, sonny!" he said, in a t loud voice. "Never mind the bird." This was too much for the youth, who answered in a shrill key : "Tain't a bird; it's a whaoking big bumble bee, an' I'll be blamed if it's goin' to come to meetin' when I dew." The controversy was stopped by one of the deacons, who removed the e "bird," She Changed Her Mind.?Mrs. Pious-*-1 do wish, Mr. McSnorter, that you would come up and see my husband. He is very ill, and I am , afraid will die without experiencing religion. Don't you think you can convince him of the necessity of atoning for his past neglect ? Rev. McSnorter?I will try, Mrs. Pious; I will come up this afternoon c and see if I can't induce him to leave 1 some of bis fortitne to the new tbeolo- 1 gical seminary. 1 Mrs. Pious?On second thought, Mr. McSnorter, I don't believe your j presence will be necessary. . t , t It Wouldn't Be Fair.?She was a ; girl from Holly, N. J., and she had a J mouth which attracted general atten- * tion. As she leaned against the railing axjd watched the breakers she sud- ? denly exclaimed: f "Oh, James, but how grand !

W3T A minister was questioning bis Sunday school about the story of Eutychus, the young man who, while listening to the preaching of the Apostle Paul, fell asleep, and, falling down, was taken up dead. "What," he said, "do we learn from the solemn event?" Then the reply from the little girl came pat and prompt: "Please, sir, ministers should learn not to preach tnA In nor Qprmnna " \ Patrick?And phat do yez mean by taxing me $8 on me goat, which < only cost me $4 in the first place ? i Assessor?Oh, that's all right.

Now, that goat of i yours is always a-butting on the high- i way, and he has four running feet, I you know. < "What'r ye readin' 'bout?" ask- ] ed Mrs. Corntossel. "Di'mund beds in 1 Africa," replied her husband. "Deary ; me ! It does beat all how much lux- i ury these people manages ter crowd in 1 ter a lifetime. But I don't envy 'em. | Not a bit.

TWO TRAVELERS! ; THE HOST OF THE BED LION. \ . c If ooe were to seek the site of the * Red Lion that stood on the Harlbm t Road over a century ago, he could do c more discover it theD he could the snow that fell at the date of which we t write. t The Red Lion was an inn kept by a t jolly old Hollander, named Peter Steen, and directly opposite was the I only grocery store on that part of the t island, and this was presided over by f Peter's brother, Heist. The brothers were very dissimilar in temperament f and apperance. Peter weighed over t 200 pound, was a hard drinker, inveterate smoker, and a great talker, e Heist was of small staturer weighing onty one hundred and some odd il pounds, and he never drank spirituous liquors nor used tobacco in any form. 1' XIrtlmac ka nf a InnnaolmiB t.llrn fl X1VIVUV1 ?TOO UV vr* M Silent and meditative, he weighed out a his sugar and tea to his customers, o took their hard money, put it safely t away, and grew richer each year than I his laughing, rollicking brother Peter, c Every evening, after the store was closed, Heist invariably went across g the way, and the. brothers, taking chairs, would, when the season per- I mitted, sit in front of the tavern under y the trees and converse, while Peter's g son, Dyke, attended the bar. tl It was the latter part of the summer li when the brothers were seated in their a accustomed places, that a couple of ti strangers were driven to the inn, and 1< alighting, requested accommodations, * Peter Blowly took his pipe from his n mouth and shouted for Dyke. li "Go yourself," said Heist, in an un- tl dertone. "You'll never become rich if you turn these matters over to si others. You must mend your ways, ? brother, and not put the care of the house on Dyke. Come, be stirringd and be gave Peter a gentle shake. fi The latter laughed, and arising, d went forward to attend to the wants u of his guests. A small trunk and two ii shot guns was the only baggage the u travelers possessed, and these were carried to the inn and the strangers si assigned a room, and while their p supper was being prepared, Peter b resumed his seat by his brother. "Do they seem like person's of w ??? O)) TJalof ir Uicauo i 1UV|UH VU JJVIOV* "How can I tell?" replied Peter. E "They went to their chamber without a: taking a drink." "If I had examined their faces," ti continued Heist, "I think I should g be able to determine their quality, al Your business is not the kind to enable tl you to discover the depths of your customer's pockets. Ah! Peter, I n fear you will never accumulate a large fortune." - cl "Well, Dyke may if I don't," replied u the brother. "Het's like you, Heist; he ai turns a penny over twice before taking oi it to see if it is good." a "Dyke is a prudent lad," said Heist, b "He may turn out well if he continues to be so cautious. Brother, we have tl to be wary in this world." w "Thank heaven, there'll be no occa- it sion for it in the next," replied Peter, r< and he laughed, and blew great clouds a of smoke in Heist's face. s( "It's a nasty practice," cried the brother, coughing and moving a little b apart, so as to be out of the reach of oi Peter's pipe. nc "It's a great consolation sometimes," replied Peter. it "It's a great waste of money. How d much do you spend in tobacco ?" Is "How should I know?" replied b Peter, in surprise. "I never kept ac- h count." It "Try it," remarked Heist, dryly. ft Just then a couple of shots made y Heist Steen bounce in his seat. li "It's only the travelers disharging si their guns," said Peter. g "I must go," replied Heist, "Good- v* night," and the brother separated. f( Peter Steen found his guests to be a quiet but eccentric Englismen, who tl seemed to take the world easy and h paid liberally for all they ordered. h "What in the world can they want e here?" inquired Heist. "Why don't t< they go to the city ?" "I'm sure I don't know," replied tl Peter, "and as they pay in honest h money, I care not how long they y tarry." "They may be robbers," suggested a the timid Heist. "So they may," responded Peter; "but they haven't robbed me, and as E they are not sharp enough for you, I s< don't see why we should complain." o Fall deepened into winter, and the E ?.mi ?: ,1 ^ sir augers sun sujuuiucu at iuc xw-u u Lion. They went out gunning frequently, and when they remained in- n doors they read incessantly the news- ? papers that came from England. "I have it," exclaimed Heist, one evening, to his brother. "They are refugees from justice, aud they read the newspapers to discover what efforts arelieing made to effect their capture." Peter laughed boisterously. "All Englishmen spend a great deal of their lives in reading newspapers," he replied. "It's a characteristic of the nation ; they are great readers, just as we Dutch are great smokers." "I hope you may be correct," responded Heist; "but I don't like these persons banging about here for no object." "They may have an object," suggested Peter; "they know best." "But I'd like to know, too." "Perhaps you'd better ask them," MA?s1tA/l A rxwontJnol Pofor XUpiICU tUQ yiavvivui JL Vkvt "My doors are doubled barred," muttered Heist, as he moved away. ? During the winter the strangers ate, drank, were merry, sat up late at night in their room, and paid their bills punctually. Peter Steen grew to e like them vastly. Spring came warm ii and balmy, and the strangers seemed 11 to welcome it. One day the elder of ?j the two came to Peter Steen and said : "Landlord, we fancy your place 1 rery much. It is quiet and healthy, four table is excellent, but we don't . iltogether like your rooms. Suppose rou allow us to erect an addition to rour house; it shall cost you nothing. >Ve wish an apartment that looks out in the garden, and here, just by this call, which is all tumbling down, by he way, we'll build you a snug apartnent." Peter opened his eyes very wide at < his proposition, and at once consen- 1 ed. Then he hastened to Heist and old him what had occurred. "It is the strangest thing I ever < leard," replied the brother. "Peter, 1 hose men must either be crazy or bols. I think tbey are fools." "And I should be a fool. too. if I re use to have my property improved at < heir expense," replied the other. i Heist scratched his head and appeard perplexed. * I "And I really can make nothin of b," he said." Very soon mechanics began to bring umber, and in due time a pretty rame structure, with two rooms, rose at the rear of the inn. One side f it was directly against the wall of he garden. Peter was happy; the Englishmen's gold flowed into his offers, and all went well. One night when the brothers sat toother Heist said: "I've been talking to old Adam [lomp, and he tells me that about 60 ears ago an eccentric or crazy Enlisbman built a large house where he Red Lion now stands. Nobody ked him, and few knew anything bout his histoty. He got into some rouble with the king's officers, and ;ft the place suddenly. Soon afterward the bouse was burned down. I ever could comprehend these Engsh; they are the queerest people in he world." "They pay well," laughed Peter, lapping his pocket; "they pay well, lelst." c July came, and the weather waB j elightful, but, for some singular reak, the Englishmen stayed a great c eal in their rooms. Once Peter came t pon them suddenly, and caught them t itently examining a map or diagram j which they had spread on the table. "Ah, ha!" he muttered; "they are ' urveyors. Doubtless they came to J urcbase land. How foolish my . rother Heist wab who nis suspicions.But what bothered Peter the most | 'as that the strangers were up burnig bis candles late into the night. . Iverybody else was in bed. What re they doing up like owls ? AH at once the strangers began to ike drives. They wouldn't go out toether, but would take turns, one fl I ways remaining at home. These lings continued for several weeks. When this was told Heist he had a ew source of perplexity. - 3 "They certainly are fools!" he exaimed. "Who but fools would sit a p late summer nights, doing nothing ii ad go driving about the country with- nt a companion ? Peter, these men ^ lay have wealth, but they certainly ave no brains." I At length there came a variation to ie monotony. Both the strangers ent out to drive together one morn ig. Night dame, but they did not iturn. Peter smoked his pipe and leditated at their absence, and Heist C jratched his head for a thought. ? Two?three?four days went by, ^ ut the strangers returned not, and no t ne about the country give any infor- 1 lation concerning them. j Finally, when a week bad elapsed, v i was determined to break open the oor of their room. With all forms of ^ iw this was accomplished. And lo ! y eside the garden wall was a great e ole in the earth. On the table iv a letter addressed to Peter Steen, om the strangers, informing him that ears before one of their number bad j ved on the spot and buried a large jm of gold in an old chest by this arden wall. Immediately after he 'as obliged to flee the country. They 1 )und some papers in England which t ccurately described the spot where I ae treasure was concealed, and they ? ad come and built the addition to the " ouse over the spot, and thus possess- t d themselves of what really belonged \ a them. ?
