pominoncetneiii of tho New Year for
(lie |mynicii| of the note, and eight
dollars inirroat t)iat had aeeninilated
in t;||c last year, but the party was
unprepared to pay it, saying that Ids
income was hut a triflo oyer $D00 a
year, and <nt this ho could scarcely
support his family, and did not know
when he could pay ovon the intercut,
lot the principal. Thu creditor
commenced questioning the debtor
and soon extracted from Iho latter
that lie, on an average, paid for three
drinks a day, which on calculation
was shown to amount to $ 100.00 or
enough to have paid both principal
and i|}tprpHt of the note and have
*1 .5b left, The calculation so as
tonished the debtor that he deter
mined to immediately abandon
this outlay, find omlitor Jeftsatisliod
that ho would got tlio money, princi
pal and interest, in another year, if
the party sticks to his proniLe.—

Away at the southern end of
Fourth avenue live two promising
youngsters, whoso father, being an
upright and conaeicnt tons gentleman
lias an enduring admiration for
George Hatchet and his little Wash
ington. Of course, ho took his hope*
fuls on his knees and told to them,
lis he trotted them to Burnaby Cyoss,
the story of the overgreen and eter
nal cherry fcreo. in tho course of
events ami Mine ho bethought him
to make his two cherubs a present of
a Imtchct each, and in the course of
evonts and time lie discovered a out
on his cherished dwarf pear tree.
tSuspooting the eulprits and culling
his posterity to him, “Boys,” ho said
frowninggloweringly, “who out this
pear tree ?” And then ho waited in
puspimsp to see w 1 ict her he lmd an*
othei 1 Washington in his family.
FohtuiutY No. 1.—.“I did it, pit,
\vif my little hutahot. I cannot toll
a lie.” i’QBTKHWT No. 2,—“No, he
didti’L pa; J cut it wit my hatchet,
tin' Pm the one ’at can’t toll no lie.”
JCo. L-—“You didn’t 5 I cut it my
self.” No. 2.--“Whoopee ! You
didn’t do no such thing!” No. 1.—
‘‘Yes, I did, pa, for there wasn’t hut
one pear tree, and wo druwd straws
which ’mild out it, and—” No. 2.
r—“And Idruwd tho short straw and
put tho—” No. 1.—“A n’t you
a-shained ! 1 drawee! tho short straw
and cut tho trap, and you got nhid

You’re 11 li—a Uhbor !” And then
tho fond father took his posterity
each by tho liupo of the ncok and
piarohed thorn to the carriage-house,
Tho mournful ruin that had boon
wrought there was harrowing to
pout cm pinto, and the sounds that
wont up front tho curriago-house as
tho bridle reins descended upon those
hoys excited tho wonder of the neigh

the chickens for two squares around.
