My Smoke House.

A man who lives in Albany, and whose business is that of a clerk, said that he had latelv built a house that cost him $3,000. His friends expressed their wonder that he could afford to build so fine dwelling. “Why,” said he, “that is my smoke house.” “Your smoke house! What do you mean ?” “I mean that twenty years ago I left off smoking, and I have put the money saved from smoke, with interest, in my house. So I call it my smoke house.” — Youth's Companion.
