Once (before Christian charities, tempe rance societies, and popular governments were common) a countryman drove his cow to mailcet, and sold her for seven dol lars. On his way home ho was obliged to piss a pond hole, in iv hich while yet a good distance off, he heard the frogs cry ing, Ire, nke, site, she •Ay !' said he to himself, 'sing it out to the oat•field : it is seven dollars I have exchanged, not eight.' When he came to the water, he called out to thew, .Dumb brutes that you ar,e, don't you know better I It is seven, not eight ' But the frogs persisted in the , Alce,ake, ake. akeT , then, if you won't believe it, I wilt count th , in to your So he tomtit the money out of his pocket and counted oil the seven dollars., five and tweuiy•four pennies to every one. But the frogs cared nothing. for his rec koning, and continued to cry, 'Ake, ake, alto, ake !' 'Nell,' exclaimed the countryman, fair ly vexed, 'if you think you know better than I, just count them yourselves, and he threw the money into the water. He was standing there, expecting to wait till they Were ready to bring him book his own ; but the frogs persevered in their intent, oohing out 'Ake, nice, abe, ake !' without interruption, anal did not throw the money back. He continued to wait for a good while, till night catne nn, and he was obli ged to go home. - Then he turned to abu sing the frogs, and called out to them : 'You water peddlers ! you numskulls ! you wooden heads ! you have got a great mouth, and can scream till you split one's ears ; but you emu% count seven dollars —do you tHu I: I will wait here till you are ho went along ; but the frog, kept on crying, 'Ake, uke, alce,alce.!' behind him, until he reached his home, in a very fret. ful mood. After a while he had another cow, which he slaughtered, and reckoned that,. if he &old the meet we.l, he should make us much as both cows were worth, and have the hide re:nail:log. Now when he went to the village with the meat, a great many dogs collected a bout the gate. with a large greyhound at their head. This tatty r sprang up towards the meat and harked, Wow, wow, wow.' Before he had fairly ceased, the country- man said to hint : •Yes, I understand, you soy, .wutv, wow because you warn a piece of the meat ; but I should look well if I were to give it to you.' The dog answered nothing but '\Vow, teen• !' you not eat any of it, and be rc. sporititi'e for your coinrade, also?' •11'ow, wow,' said the dog. 'Well, if you adhere to that, I will let you hove it ; I know you, and know whose servant you are. But I will tell . you this 111.1:4 have the money within three day—you can just bring it to With that he delivered the meat, and turned about again. The dogs received it, and barked loudly. The countryman, still hearing them, he had gone a consider able distance, said to himself, 'Listen ! they are all crying wow, wow, but the big one must answer to me.' AV hen the third day came, the country man thought, .This evening you will have the money in your pocket, 'et no one came to settle with him. There is no nitre depending upon any body,' said he ; and finally he loot all pa: hence, so that he went t , the butcher in the village, and demanded his money.— The butcher thnnght it was a joke, at first, but the countryman said : 'Jesting aside, I will have my pay. Did not your great dog bring home the whole carcass of a slaughtered cow, three days ago ?' At that the butcher flew into a passion, seized a broomstick, and chased him away. tt nit,* said the countryman ; 'there is justice in the vorld yet.' and ho went to the royal palace and requested a hearing. He was conducted before the king, who sat there with his daughter, and asked what misfortune had befallen hiw. 'o,' said ho, 'the frogs and dogs have taken my property away, and the butcher has paid me for it with blows.' And then be related circumstantially how it had happened. Upon this, the king's daughter burst in. a Ind laugh, and 'he king said : " LIBERTY AND UNION, NOW AND FOREVER, ONE AND INSEPARABLE.

'Yes, I believe that,' answered the coun• tryman ; five hundred are to be paid to .ok here,' said the soldier, 'give me some of it. Whet will you contrive to de with sn much money ?'

Meanwhile, the Hebrew and the sal dire came in to desire their own, which they had won from the countryman, and they received the lashes, well meisured out to them. The soldier endured it very patiently, having already learned how it relished ; but the Hebrew screamed out piteously, in his misery, "Are these the dollars 1" The king was pleased to laugh at the countryman, and when all anger was passed, he said ; "Sine,: you have lost your recompense before you received it, I will make you amends.
