The next ilay the V aniel* appeared on the first pag&of the Tribune, and young Huntley thought he had "struck it rich" in his aew situation, and promptly looked forward to being made managing edi­ tor of t lip journal. When he arrived at the office an I .^entered the city room he noticed a •mile spread o*er the other reporters* faces, but attributing it to jealousy, he calmly seated himself at his desk. In / a few minutes Mr. Moore, the citv edi­ tor, called him and said Mr. Greeley wanted to see him. Swelling with 1 * pride, and casting a look ot triumph , " around the room, the young reporter walked out of the office into Mr. Gree- , ley's office. The door was closed. He rapped gently. "Come in," responded a shrill falsetto voice. Mr. Huntley did so. Mr. Greeley was •ea'ted at his desk, writing. He waited patiently until he finished. Then the old gentleman wheeled around in his etiair aud said: "Well, sir, what can I do for you?" "You sent for me, slr.n < ••For you f W liar, is your name ?'* " "Stanley Huntley.* "Oh! 8o you are the blamed fool Wild ^ wrbte up that Farmers* ciubf1 ' The hopes of the future humorist •experienced a suddeu decline.

"Well,sir." said the editor, a twl ikle coming into his eyes, "you dI.lift know ^ of course what the rules of our office ' are. But you oughtn't to have written that report. Indeed you oughtn't to. Of course they are a pack of fools. They always have beeji; but you shouldn't have said so in the Tribune. Young man, I'm the preeldeut of that club."-- JSmYork Graphic. A farmer la The Voks. An amusing stoiy wis told us the other day which we priut for the delec- tatton of farmer boys. "A granger who lived on a nice stork farm adjacent to a flourishing village, had a t>et yearling bull which was his especial pride, and he used to card and smooth him down every day, hoping to fiud sometime for him a suitable mate. One day he thought he would see bow A ,, the animal would act with a yoke on bia neck. He adjusted It as best he ! ' r couid, but it was ho awkward at one end of the yoke lopping down that the gl'-' bull could not move about to any ad- vintage; so to facilitate matters the I* farmer put his owo head into the yoke fe and was moving about the yard with . /bis pet at bis side "hawing" and *'gee- 1':, log" with a. good deal of pride. Just A then an offensive bee stung the bull on 'his rump, which was the signal for a h*circus. Away he started, dashing down [x j|5, long village street, dragging the %*'••• old man along with such velocity that ?r >hecould scarcejy keep Ills footing. A • jerowd of villagers standing near the ^blacksmith shop saw the strange 'team* f'iConiIng amid a cloud of dust, and when Moear enough they haard the old man FT wheezing and shouting--'Slop us.-- •Stop as,--two dumb fools running , ftway! Stop us.--help,--stop u#!' They |,'y' ' formed a line across the street and i# /brought them to a stand still,--the bull If/' *otuewhat winded and the old man P . ^nearly dead from fright and exhaus- /Mtlon. His friends gathered about him, ^and at once began to assist in extricat- ,lng him from his perilous position- but soon as he got sufficient breatn he bawled out to them: 'Unhitch the otber fellow first, I'll stand." -,5 GLASS !
