An Amekican Innkbkfeh,—Old Eovve kept an hotel where, as he used to say, you could get anything that was ever made to eat. One day in came a Yankee, and stepping up to the har, asked old Howe what he could give him for dinner.' "Anytiling, Sir," said old Rowo, " anything, from a pickled elephant to a canary bird's tongue." " Wa'al," s»id the Yankee, eyeing Rowc, " 1 guess I'll take a piece of pickled elephant." " Well, we've got 'em ; got • 'em all ready, right here in the house, but you'll have to take a whole 'un, 'cause we never cut 'em." The Yankee " thought he would take some codfish ; ami potatoes."
