W .

of whom Fred spoke was a man known to
Judge Newton to be a heavy Importer of
foreign stock, particularly of the Durham.
J udge Newton had often endeavored to
procure some of this stock but as it was at:
that time very scarce and bore an’cxceeding-
lv high price he had not been :successful.

f became Very anxious, after he had examined

it a little more citisely to purchase it.

“It’s one of the regular Durham sure,"
said he musing, “and a very fine one at that,
if you will part with him I'll give you
twenty-five dollars for him.’ ,
- "Couldn't part. with him' for any such
money, Col. Davis is to give tne seventy.
five as soon as I get home."

“-Well, you ,won’t take him clear home
with you au’d‘ifyou’ll let me have' him I’ll
give you fifty dollars.” ' _

“‘No can’t- do it, I’ve disappointed the Col.
two. or three times already and he would

He, now becoming
anxious “you can 'tellitim- you have not
becn'ovcr thcmonn'tai‘us." ' '.

“I don't know Judge,” said Fred, after a
pause. “As you say, it’s some way home
and wilchost something .to get him there,
and if you wilfi ive me seventy-five dollars
I don’t know t you may take him."

The Judge was delighted with his pur-
chase, and paid Fred the money on the
spot. As they were taking the calf to the
barn Fred remarked— ‘

“I say Judge,l don’t see what, there is
about that calf that makes him worth more
than any other. ' l béliet'c‘ I can get as many
such as I want for three dollars." '

“Perhaps you can,” answet‘ed the Judge,
“in a few years when they liect‘lme more
plenty.”

In the morning as Fred was about start-
ing. he remarked, '
“I hope when you have any more grind-
stones to sell you’ll remember me.”

“Thank you, I will,” said the Judge not
oxactly understanding what Fred was driv-
ing at.

May be he didn't!

A few days after Fred was gone Squire B.
of whom Fred had bought the calf .was

passing when Judge Newton called him Tto

tell him that he had at last. succeeded“?
« e
Squire expressed a desire to see it and iltey
proceeded to the barn. . '
“.Is that the 'one ?”

“Yes-ll .
“Who did you get himof?" '

“Fred Griswold. I paidhitn seventy-five

dollars for it.”

The Squire burst info a loud laugh,
“Why Judge,” said he, as soon as he could;

Thc‘Judge was perfectly astounded. He

thought ofit for a moment and then said——
partly to himself and partly addressed to
the Jquire:

“Ito‘s—and I sold him that grindstonc—

The Judge went back to‘thc house mutter-

the'articles thus a" mined to advantage, He

Fred often called there after this but

known- as a

“Hallo, friend," said Fred, do you w
purchase anything to-day.

“Can’t" said the man, pausing a moment,
“I haven’t any money—nothing to pay
with.” ‘ , , .. _' ‘_ ,_

. .‘30,never_mind,’,’ repligd_;Fred, in his
usbil bland'.tone,“l.’ll take most anything."
‘ ,TIIC man-saw he was determined to have.

(a trade, and so in order to get rid of him,
he said: “Well, sir,I am just building a'
7 law of brush fence, and ifyou’ll take that
Idou’t'know but weban trade." V .

,9‘.Oh,I’ll take it if you’ll keep it until

“Oh yes I‘ll do that," said the m
prised at'thc accommodation 0 .
trying to assign some reason for_it in his
nwumind. - He finally concluded that Fred.
had—,htard-ofV-ahim, and intended doing: iii-m
a favor; and as ,‘he’ 'tjvas reall y needy be de-
iie‘rin‘ined to'accept of it in the.’ spirit in
which it was‘otfcred'. "So‘ a ' bargain " was
made for his fence, he received the goods
and Fred took his note for the fence, to be
delivered at sight. The then paid a high
price for his goods, but as long as he could
payin brush fence, he. thought they were
cheap enoughrat/auy price. ' . ,

Fred gained considerable by this. He
not only made afitir profit on his merchan-

_ Three Famousnarlles.

Three of the most famous battles recorded
in English history were marked by a
strange ontrast between the behavior of
the op ing armies on the eve offigbt. . At
Hastings, the Saxons spent. the night in
singing, feasting and drinking; while the
Normans were confessing themselves and
receiving the sacrament. At Agincourt,
5‘the poor condemned English" said their
prayers, and sat patiently by their watch:
fires, to “inly ruminatc the morrow’s dan-
‘ger;” while the over confident French
reVeled the night through, andplayed .for
the prisoners they never were to take. On
the eve of Bannockburn, says Paston, who
fought there on the beaten side, “ye 'might
have seen the Englishmen bathing them-
selvesin wine, and casting their gorges;
there was crying, shouting,- wassailing, and

The kite navigation of. thesouud proved ‘

made by John F. Lacey, from Bridgeport,
Tuesday afternoon. After the loss of one
bite. another was procured, and‘ at two
o'clock “sail” wasagain hoisted, care being
taken to'fasten the line securely to the boat.
The kite was 10 feet by 8. was made ofcloth,
and had 100 feet oftail. .The boat was an
ordinary twelve-foot row boat, and Was pro-
vided with a rudder. , Charles Booth was
the only passenger beside Mr. Lacey. But
little steering was necessary, but it was
found that the boat could be kept six points
to thewindward by the use of the rudder.
Port J efi‘erson was reached at 5:15p.- m., the
trip having been made, in two hours and
fifteen minutes, and beating a good sail-boat
md're thau'au hour. The boat shipped no
water, and the-passengers had not a2 single

m n. .r. ‘TAYLOII.

In shirt of check and tallowed hair
The fiddler sits in the bulrush chair
Like Moses’ basket stranded there

On the brink'of- Father Nile.
He feels the fiddle’s slender neck,j
Picksout the notes with thruln'and check ;
And times the tune with nod and beck,

And thinks it a weary while.
All rcadyl Now he gives the call,
Cries, “Honor to the ladies !" 'All
The jolly tides of laughter fall

And ebb in a happy smile.

 

“Begin.” D-o~w-n.com_es the bow on every
’ string, ’
“First couple join right hands and swing i"
As light as any blue bird’s'wiug -
“Swing once and a half times
round." .
WhirIs Mary Martin all in blue-
Calico gown and stockings new,
And tinted eyes that tell you jrue,
Dance to all the dancing sound.

She flits about bigllloses Brown 7
Who holds her hands to keep her down
And thinks her hair a golden crown

_ And his heart turns over once
His cheek with’Mary’s'breath is wet,
It gives a second somerset! -
He meansto win the maiden yet,

Alas, for‘the awkward-dunee !

“Your stoga boot has crushed my toe!"
“I’d rather dance with one-legged Joe,"
“You'clumsy fellow l" “Pass below ! ’

,, :And the-.firstair dance apart.
Then,“Forward six 1”. advance, retreat,
Like midges gay in sunbeam street

’Tts Money Musk by merry feet

And the Money Musk my heart !

“Three quarters round your partner swing!"
“Across the set i” The rafters ring,

The girls and boys have taken wing

1- And have brought theirfroses out!
’Tis “Forward six l” with rustic grace

Ah, rarer far than—"Swing to place i”
Than golden clouds of old point lace

They bring the dance about.

Then clasping hands-all—J‘Bight and left !"
All swiftly weaver'themeasure deft
Across the‘woofiu loving'weft .
And the Money Musk is done!
_0b, dancers .of the rustling husk,
Good night, sweet hearts, tis groiving dusk,
Good night'for aye to Money Musk;
