THE BORROWER AND THE LENDER.

A man who borrowed a sum of money from another gay© in return a note of cknowledgment promising to pay it on a certain day. When the lender came for his money, the borrower took the note, and, looking at it for a moment, threw it into a fire that was burning by his side, and then cried: "Be off, rascal! I owe you no money." The lender at once went to the judge, and the borrower was summoned to his presence to give an account of himself. "Why did you tear up the note ?" asked the judge severely. "Your lordship," was the rascal's reply. "I never toro up a note. The fellow has lent me nothing at all." ' Calling the creditor aside, the judge aslced him quietly what was the size of the note; and, hearjng it was a span long, he told him to say it was two spans when asked the question in open Court. "How long was the bond?" asked the judge aloud. "It was two spans long, my lord/' answered the creditor. "Oh, what a lie!" exclaimed the borrower. "Why, it was not more than a span. A man who will lie like that about the size of a note would tell all kinds of untruths!" "All," said the judge to the borrower, "you are very clever! How could you know its length if you had not prepared and handled it? You will pay the debt, with heavy interest."
