A ROGUE SOLD.
That honesty is the best policy was rather singularly illustrated the other day at Waterbury, Me. A young Irish boy, after buying a pair of shoes, placed the new ones on his fret and rapped up the old ones in a nice bundle with the card of the shoe dealer printed on the wrapper. On going into the street r when no one was lcokiug, he laid them carefully in the gutter. A countryman going by, seeing the boy up, as he thought, said ; '• Here, boy, that is my bundle. I just dropped them." The lad gave them up, and tae countryman gave the boy 15 cents.
