still he did not grov a bit, but remained ex

he looked about him, however, very know

clever fellow, who would prosper in anything
he undertook.
One morning the peasant was making ready
to go into the forest to fell wood, and said,
"Now I wish I had pome one who could follow
me with the cart."
"Oh, father! exclaimed Thuuibling. -I
will bring the cart; don't trouble yourself; it
shall be there at the right time."
Tho father laughed at this speech and said,
"llow shall that be? You are much too small
to lead the horse by the bridle."
"That matters not, father. If mother
will harness the horse I can sit in his ear and
t&ll him which way to go."
"Well, we will try jou." said the father;
and so, when the hour came, the mother har
nessed the horse, and placed Thuniblinr in
his ear, and told him how to guide it. Then
he set out quite like a man, and the cart went
on the right road to the forest, and iust as
it turned a corner and Thumbiins called out

gently, or some one will awake."

and exclaimed louder still, Will you have

side, "Oh, Mr. Wolf, I know of a capitol
meal for you." "Where is it to be found?"
asked the wolf. "In the house by the meadow
you must creep through the gutter, and there
you will find cakes, aud pies, and bacon, and
sausages a3 many as you can eat," replied
Thumbling, describing exactly his father's
house.
The wolf did not wait to be told twice, but
in the night crept in, and ate away in the
larder to bis heart's content. When he had
finished he tried to escape by the way he en
tered, but the hole was not large enough.
Thereupon Thumbling, who had reckoned
upon this, began to make a tremendous noise
inside the poor wolf, screaming and shoutia"
as loud as he could. "Will you be quiet?
said the Wolf; -you will awake the people."
"Lb, .vLat.!':.riaL-tl.vmsJa. "eiuouyou

make merry;" and Le eet up a louder howling
than before At la&t his father and mother
awoke, and came to tho mom and lnnt-ivi
through the chinks of the door, and as soon
as they perceived the ravages the wolf had
committed, they ran brought the man his
axe. and the woman the scythe. "Stop you
behind," said the man, as 'they entered the
room; 'if my blow does not kill him,- ycu
must give him a cut with your weapon, and
chop off his head if you can.".
When Thumbling heard his father's voice,
he called out, "father dear, I am here iu the
wolfs body.' "Heaven bo praisJS!" said
the man, full of joy, "our dear child is
found again;" and he bade his wifo take away
the scythe, lest it should do any harm to hi3
son. "Ah," said his father what trouble we
have had about you'" "Yes. father." renlld
Thumbling, "I have been travelling a great
deal about the world. Heaven be praised!

"Where have you been, my son?" Le in
quired. 'Once I was in a mouse's hole, once inside'
a cow, and lastly inside that wolf; and now
I will stop here with you," said Thumb
ling. "Yes," said the old people, "we will not
sell you again for all the riches of the world;"
and they embraced and kissed him with great
affection. . Then they gave him plenty to eat
and drink, and had new clothes made for him,
for Lis old ones were worn out with travelling.
100, "free for anything wiih four legs and
hair oa." A man in the neighborhood nam
ed Hays had a bull that he was in the habit
of riding to mill with his bag of corn, and he
determined to enter him for the race. He
said nothing about it to any one, but he rode
him around the track a number of times, on
several moonlight nights, until the ball hal
got the hang of the ground pretty well and
would keep the right course. He rode with
spurs, which the bull considered disagreea
ble; so much so that he always bellowed wheu
arplied to his sides. On the morninar of the
race Hays came upon the
back on his bull. Instead
had dried an ox hide, the head part of which
with the horns still on, he had placed on the
buir ' rump. He carried a short tin horn in
his hand. lie rode to the iudfres stand, and
offered to enter his bull for the race, bat the
owners of the horses that were entered ob
jected. Hays appealed to the terms of the
notice; insisting that his bull had 'four legs
and hair on," and that therefore he had a
right to enter him. After a good deal of
swearing, the judges declared" themselves
compelled to decide that the bull had a right
to run, and wa3 entered accordingly. When
the time for starting arrived the bull and hor
ses took their places. The horse racers were
out of humor at being bothered with the bull
and at the burlesque, which they supposed
was intended, but thought that it would be
over as socn as they started When the sig
nal was f-iven they did start. Hays gavea
blast with hi-horn, and sank his spurs into
the si le of tho bull, who bounded off with a
terrible bawl at no trilling speed, the dried
ox hide Capping up and down, rattling at ev
ry jump, making a combination cf noise that
had never been heard on a racecourse before.
lhe horses all new the track, everv one seem
ing to be 6eized with a sudden detcrminstion
to take short cut to get out of the Redstone
country, and pot one of them could be brought
back in time to save their distance. A gen
eral row ensued; but the fun of the thing put
the crowd all oa the side of the bull. The
horsemen contended that they were swindled
out of their purse, and that if it had not been
for Hays' horn and ox hide, which he ought
not to have been permitted to bring upon the
ground, the thing would not have turned out
as it did.
Upon this Hays told them that his bull
could beat any of their horses anyhow, and
if they would put up a hundred dollars against
the purse that he had wou, he would :akeihe"
ox hide off. aud leave his tin horn, and run a
fair race with them. His offer was accepted
and the money staked. Thev a?ain took
their places at the starting post, and the sig
nal was given. Hays gave the bull another
touch with his spur, and the bull gave a tre
mendous bellow. The horses rememberiDg
the dreadful sound., thought all the rest was
coming as before. Away they went" again,
in spite of all the exertions of their riders,
while Hays galloped the bull around thetrack
and won the m5aey.

A yonng lady in town was cured of a

in her left ear... He was a Printer.

Consbmt Umjtloyrncnt. The man who is
obliged to be constantly employed to earn
the necessaries ot life and support his family,
kaows not the uahappiness he pras
for when he desires wealth and idleness. To
bo constantly busy is to be always happy.
Persons who have suddenly acquired wealth,
broken up their Setiro pursuits, and beguu io
are at ease, waste away and die in a very
short time. Thousands would have been
ble?iing3 to tho world, and added to the com
mon stock of happiness, if they had been
content to remain ia an humble sphere, and
earned every mouthful cf food that nourished
their bodies. JJut no; fashion and wealth
took possession of them, and they were com
pletely ruined. They ran away from peace
and pleasure, embracing a lingering death.
Ye who are sighing for the pomp and plea
sure of life, beware. x"ou know not what
you wish. Xo situation however exalted;
no wealth however magnificient; no honor
however glorious, can yield you solid enjoy
ment, while discontent lurks in your bosom.
The secret of happiness lies in this to be
always contented with your lot, and never
sigh for the splendor of riches, or the mag
nificence of fashion and power. Persons who
ere always busy and go cheerfully to their
daily tasks, are at leust disturbed by the fluc
tuations cf business; aad at night sleep with
composure.
