the Growing of the cock And this reminds us
of story which we have somewhere seen, the
scene Of which is laid in country town.


A stout, rugged, hearty fellow, one morning
accosted the keeper Of the Poor House, demand
ing food and labor, and declaring that he could
not find any work, although he was willing 10
do any thing, whatever.


"You shall not starve," said the superntend-
ent, "provided yon are willing to work."


He gave him some breakfast, and set him to
turning large grindstone; without any person
holding any thing upon it to grind, and agreed to
give him half dollar day as wages The
fellow took hold, and for few minutes labored
with great alacrity, but soon his business began
to lag. The paupers, old and young, women and
children, came out to stare at him.


"What fool am J." said he, "to be turning
the grindstone here with nothing to grind"


And dropping the crank he bounded off like .
greyhound, and never returned for charity Of
wages!


Laziness often makes panpers, and we wish
that the laws would compel the lazy vagabonds
who are now travelling through the country le
vying contributions upon the public, to turn the
grindstone.
