Hard on the Lawyer.

A New York lawyer, distinguished in his profession, owns a delightful summer home in Vermont. His neigh borp there tell this story about his youngest child, a girl not more than 10. After much coaxing she prevailed on her father to buy her a donkey and cart. The first day of the donkey’s arrival he was permitted to browse on the lawn. The child followed the animal about, and thinking his countenance wore an uncommonly sad expression she <-antiously approached, and, striking his nose gently with her little hands, said “Poor donkey! You feel lonesome, don't you? But never mind, papa will be here to-morrow, and then you will have company."
