A Wonderful Goer.

“Like a lift, sir?” said a countryman, civilly, as he overtook a footworn traveler on the dusty road. As they jogged along they chatted about all sorts of things. Presently the old chap pulled opt a watch of the turnip variety./ “Can ’ee tell the toime, sir?” he • “Certainly. It is exactly three o’clock,” replied the other as he watched the driver set his yratch at twelve. Then he stopped him. “I said three o’clock, not twelve,” he added. “Oh, that fee all right, sir!” said the carter, as he slipped his timepiece into his pocket. “Her’ll soon make that oop. Her be a wunnerful goer!”—Edinburgh Scotsman.
