HE TOOK THE HINT.
An honest old farmer discovered that one oi his men was in 4he habit of .stealing wheat from his. barn, and, being uncertain what course to pursue, he consulted the vicar on the. subject. The parson bade Giles, in whatever steps he took for the punishment of I the offender, to give heed to the Scrip tural injunction :
"If any man steal thy coat, give thy cloak unto him also." " All right, sir, that decides me," said Giles. " He's collared the wheat so Ah'll gie him the sack ! "
