Do you know any passtiue that will amuse us? Your fathers must have contrived many a one during their long journey in the wilderness." . : .--', ; "Sow is the time," thought the Jew, "to shear my Sheep !" And he proposed that they should kit round in a circle, and nrouound vari- Pousicuiious questions to each other, and he with their permisbion would sit with them. Those who could not aiikw er the questions should pay the Onej who propoundetj thetn a twelve kreutzer piece, and those who answered them pertinently should receive a twelve kreotrer piece.. 1 . This proposal pleased the cempany , and hoping to divert themselres with the Jew's wit-or stu pidity, each one asked, at random, whatever chanced to enter his head.. i i ; . Thus; for example, the first asked: "How many soft' boiled eggs could the giant Goliath eat on an empty stomach." i .'. -- AU said that it was impossible to answer that question, and each paid his twelve kTeuU -J- xers. : j Hut the Jew said- -"One ; for he who has eaten one egg, cannot put a second upon an empty stomach, and tlie other paid him twelve kreut- zers. j , I The second thought "WaiLy Jew I will try you out of the New Testament, and I thiuk I shall win my piece!

I So ,he won another twedve , kreutzer piece, i ' - When; the third saw that tbe Jew. was so well versed in the Bible, he tried him in a different way.

The Jew said, "The uncle ia your father's "brother jand your' father is not your uncle." Afishi now leaped out of the water, and the sixth asked, "What .fish have their eyes nearest together 1" i! '. ' ' ' ' ' , The Jew said, "The. R'mallefiL" The'siventh asked, ,".f few can a man ride from Basle to! Bern in the shade, in the summer time, when thp Snn" shines?'' " ' .

' , The rest cried "What has that to do wiih it 1 Give us jho answer." , " . "You must not take it amiss, for I am a ioor Jew." "I ' ' - . ; At last, after much persuasion and many . premises, that they wouWLdo b'rro no harm, : he thrust his hand into his pocket, took out one of the twelve kreutzer pieces that he had won, laid it upon tlie table, and said "I do not know the. answer any more! than yott-; Here are my; twelve kreiitzerf.r ' ' , 1 , 4 When I the others heardr these; words, Hhey opened their, eyes, and said that this was scarce ly according to the agreement. But as they Could njt icontrol their laaghter,' and were wealthy and good-natured men, and as the' Jew had helped them to while away the time from Saint Veil to Schalampi, they let it pars ; and the Jew took with him from tbe , veVel let a good arithmetician reckon up for me how much the Jew carried home with him.

To hia great delight, aa tbe coach drove up to the door, he found that she was a passepger. Upon being asked where she would like to sit, she -said, "by this geritle man," alludinjr to our hero.

It was an act of polite ne, doebtleea, oa Ute pari of the gentleman, to encircle the waWt of hia fab companion with his arm, just to keep her free from Jolting to which a be might otherwise be subjected. He did this witn some timidity. To his surprise no objection was made to it. En couraged by the freedom allowed, aa darkness had spread her sable vail over that jortion of the earth on which the coach was - rumbling, he drew her to him, and imprinted a, kiss on her pectarian lips, . At. The coach did uot travel very quickly, but the enamored youth thought it flew, when be found himself on the following day within a few rods of his uncles house.

He was in a dreadful state of mind. However pleasant a kiss in tho dark was on this previous night, the incumbrance of a petticoat on sueh an occasion, was anything but 'satisfactory. . He walked into the parlor, and with w hat 'he con ceived a blushing impudence, tlie lady' followed him. While he was thinking how he could pos sibly explain the affair, he was welcotned by his uncle, and tbe young lady was w elcomed too, and kissedj by all the family. She was his cousin.
