A Sensible Landlord. —TheFrankfort Herald is responsible for the following:—“A little incident transpired some weeks ago at one of our Frankfort .hotels, which, is worthy of notice.— The names of the parties we shall withhold from the public for shame’s sake. A little girl entered the tavern, and in pitiful "tones told the keeper that her mother had sent her there to get eight cents. ‘ Eight cents,’ said the tavern-keeper. ‘ What does your mother want with eight cents? I don’t owe her anything. 1 * Well,’ said the child, ‘ father spends all his money here for rum,and we have had nothing to eat Mother wants to buy a loaf of bread.’ A loafer, standing at the bar, looked first at the cl il I, and then at the tavern-keeper, and said very gruffly ; * Hang the brat—kick her out. 1 ‘No,’ said the keeper; ‘I will give her the eight cents; and if her father comes here again PH kick him out.”
