An Old Story with it Point.
In the days ot Andrew Jackson,
during a hotly contested political contest
in front of u country store were
gathered a squad of workers?the village
wire pullers-men who were spending
their time and their breath for the
party, and who were looking lor office,
very one of them, engaged in discussing
the prospects of the situation.?
"While they were thus engaged in selfconfidence,
and jubilant, an old stager
of the opposition, named Sam Bellkoop
came up. Ordinarily Sara was reserved
and mindful of his own business,
but in exciting times like the present
he could be loquacious. The party of
politicians, all known to be hungry for
government pap, hailed Sam rather
ironically, and asked how went the
battle on his side. Said Sam.
'I dont know, gentlemen, as I can
give you any information on that subv
ject, but I can tell you a bit of a
story.'
'Ah! that is just the thing. Fire
away Samuel. Let us have it.'
Sara took a scat upon an empty
nail keg and told as follows:
'Once upon a time there was a great
king who had a philosopher in whose
judgment he always put the utmost
confidence. On a certain morning
the king took it into his head that he
wanted to go out a hunting, and having
summoned his nobles and all the
chief men of his court, and made the
necessary preparations, he called his
philosopher and asked him whether it
would rain during the day. The philosopher
looked up at the sky and said it
would not, so the king and his nobles
and all the great men departed. Upon
approachingVforest they met a counr
trymanjnounted upon a jackass, who
advised them to return, assuring t'.iem
. thafrit would very soon rain.
lBah !' cried the king; 'does this
fellow know more than my philosopher?
Let us ride on.'
So on they rode, and had just entered
the forest when down came the rain
in torrents, driving them to the nearest
shelter drenched to the skin, bitterly
laihenting'that they had not taken the
rustic's advice. "Wbon they returned
to tho palace the king sent for his philosopher,
and having soundly berated
him for letting himself be outdono by
a rustic, dismissed him. Then he sent
for the countryman, intending to install
him into the vacant office.
'Tell me,' said the" king when the
man appeared before him; 'how you
1 11..!
Knew 11 wouiu rain :
'/ didn't know replied the
countryman, 'my jackass told me.'
'Mercy,' cried the monarch in great
astonishment, ''bow diu he tell you ?'
'It's a way he has, your majesty, of
pricking up his ears and snuffing the
air.'
And thereupon the king sent for
the jackass and allowed the countryman
to go home?and the jackass was installed
into the office'made vacant by
the retiremeut'of thefphilosopher.
'Ah !' concluded Sam, with a very
woeful shake of the beafl, 'the poor
king little|drcamed of the calamity that
such a simple act was to bring upon
his kingdom !'
'How so ?' demanded the auditors
eagerly.
Why,' replied Sam, very gravely,
from that day to this, every jackass in
, the whole country is"constantly clamoring
for office !'
A Dog that didn't Live in Vain.
?A well known Memphis coal doalcr
not long since had a big dog of wonderful
sagacity, lie stayed around the
coal vard, and whenever a coal-cart
was hauled on the scales the dog nlways
took|bis"standJunder the wagon,
like a coa*h-dog. He weighed nearly
one hundred pounds and was weighed
as coal thousands of times, and nearly
every coal-consumer in the city purchased
that dog at so much per barrel.
The practice veat on for months, and
was only discovered by a funny acci*
dent. A negro wanted a barrel of coal
and wheeled a hand cart with coal up?
on the scales. The clerk in the office
worked at the scales, and hallooed
through the window : 'Take out a lot
of that coal.' The negro did so, and
kept on until a 1 the coil was out of
the cart. The clerk looked at the
scales again, but the pea indicated too
much. 'Take out more coal. You have
a boat load of coal on that cart,' shouted
the clerk. 'Look hayer, boss,'
replied tho negro, 'the coal is all out,
and I'll have to take the wheels oft' if
you want to lighten the cart.' Then
the negro looked under tho cart and
saw the big fat dog at his post and exclaimed
: "Lord, inassa, yoa'se scllin
1Q? dat dog for coal.' The dog was
missed in a few days, and was found
* ?il.
dead on the scales, the animai naving
taken some poison accidentally, but lie
came back to die at his post. It was a
fine example of 'faithful unto death.'
A bed of yellowish colored paint,
covering an area of at least two acres,
and having a*tliickness of four feet,
has been discovorcd near Cullman, Ala.
The paint is found to be superior to
ochre, as it can be worked without ad"
ding white lead, and cannot be surpassed
for water colors.
When your wife puts a scuttle of
coal on the top stair, and you h?ve a
race with it to sec who reaches the;
bottom first, do not swear; but thereafter
see that you carry it up yourself
all the way.
'Child, havn't I told you not to stand
so much before the glass?' 'Why tnoilr
er you told me to read and reflect. 1
have been reading, and now I am re*
* . fleeting.'
