numerous dislikes, Joe despised rats and
mice. Indeed, he said, they seemed born
into existence only to tease and annoy
him. When he was a child, he was bitten
by a mouse, and severely too, for which
reason he always dreaded them. If Joe
had occasion to visit any new house, or
to sleep in a strange room, he never failed
to give the premises a careful inspection
to assure himself that there was no mouse
holes about. We roomed together one
night in New York, and I laughed at Joe
for his watchfulness and close examination
before retiring.

had neened behind the furniture ami

'Yes there can be no mice here, that's

"Well, blow out the light and go to bed
then, will you Joe?'
Yes, here goes, and Joe suited the ac
tion to the word, and leaped into bed.
It must have been nearly morning,
when Joe awoke with us.
'Hist! hist! don't you hear that noise
there ?'.
Not a bit of it Joe You are dream

nap.
'There it is again.'
'What?'
Why the noise.'

Look here, said Joe; 'it is all well for
you who don't care a farthing for mice or
rats, but -ou know that I have a natural
horror of the varmin, therefore there,
didn't you hear that.'
'Joe lie down, and be quiet; you took
that punch too strong last night, aud have
not more n time enough to sleep it off be-
fore morning.'
'Fough ! You haven't any feeling for
my nerves.'
Nor you for me, to wake me out of
such a sound sleep for nothing.'
Joe slipped noiselessly out of bed and
seized one of his patent leather boots,
which he felt for some time upon the floor
before lie got.
'What are you up to now V said we.
'Be quiet, it's on the table, don't you
hear it? pit pat. pit pat.'
'Well it does sound like a mouse.
Joe balanced the boot in his hand so as
to bring the heel to bear as the weapon,
and felt his way to the table by the head
of the bed, where the noise was heard.
'Hist ! the little rascal is nibbling some
thing he has found there.'
'Let him have it, Joe, and then keep
quiet for heaven's sake.'

The Pursuit of Wealth.
America has produced some eccentric
characters, whose morbid acquisitiveness
has made them the wonder of mankind.
A recent instance is to be found in Illinois,
in the person of Jacob Strawn, of Jack
sonville, a very extensive landholder and
cattle dealer, and probably the wealthiest
citizen of the State of Illinois. He is the
owner of some forty thousand acres of
land in the Slate, and his agricultural and
other business transactions have been of
an extent corresponding with his landed
possessions, tor years ne has been by

"And this, ' continues the print above
quoted, "is the value of wealth! Life,
health, great energy, everything devoted
to the utmost stretch to secure immense
possessions and to enjoy nothing. Truly,
after all, there are greater slaves than they
who come, and go, and labor at the bid

are poorer than they who are fed by the
s.'ow and unwilling hand of charity, and
there are none more to be pitied than those
who bow down in adoration of their 1
