Mr. C •, I had a dream the other night of a most peculiar nature. I dreamed I was in the pres ence ot his Satanic Majesty, who was in the fork of two roads, deciding winch route the new comer from below should take. The person I recognized as a funner landlord approaching, and Satan looked at him, anil opening his big bonk, turned to his ac count. “ Well, Mr. .J.,” said Satan, “do you think you ought to take the right road to I’aradise, or pass j down the left to my dominions V” The landlord hesitated what reply to make, for his conscience began to smite him, when Satan, with a hideous grin, looked at the account and said : —“ I find, Mr. that you owned three houses in S street.” “I did.” “ What did they cost you'f” “ Four thousand dollars each. ■ What did yon rent them for? Ihe landlord here hesitated, and declined an t or ing; but hi was informed that refractory spirit- were treated to a brimstone bath, and at once confessed that he obtained five hundred dollar per annum for each. “ I thought -0, said Satan. It js allowable to charge ten pu cent, on the costs, if the landlord keeps them in repair, but you did not do this, and yet you obtained your twelve per cent This was extortion, and therefore, you are not my friend, -o j just walk down and sit in iny rlmir until t can route i and lire rip.” lioxton (ioaeth l P UNFIT.
