WELL WORKED.
A well-known actor tells an amusing story of a man who entered a bar-parlour of a country inn on a cold day. A group of loungers were huddled about the fire, a nd the stranger could not get near enough to keep warm. ! "'Got any oysters" he asked the j landlord, and, receiving an affirmative reply, said "Take a dozen out to my horse." All hands crowded to the door to ' see the horse eat oysters, and the stranger secured the most comfortable seat. The landlord returned soon, and said the horse refused to cat the shellfish. ! "Well, give 'em to me, then," said I the artful traveller.
I The young man was calling on the girl. He didn't know her very well, ; but she looked good to him. He wanted to call again the next night, J but hardly had the nerve to ask peri mission to do 60. | "I'd like to come up again," he ' said, when he was ready to go home, "How about next week some time ?" A look of disappointment came over < ber face. "Next week ?" she said. "Why, isn't that er—well, I'll tell you what to do ; you come up to-morrow night and we'll decide which night next week you may call.'—'Detroit Times." "You want more money ? Why, my boy, I worked three years for a quid a month right in this establishment, and now I'm owner of it." "Well, you see what happened to your boss., No man who treats his help like that can hang on to his business." 1791.
