Wool SToRY.-1he following story is told
of Mr.. SnEAFr, grocer in Portsmouth, New
Hampshire:
man had purchased quantity of wool from
him, which had been weighed and paid for, and
Mr.. ). bad gone to the desk TO get change for a
note. Happening to turn his head while there, he
saw IN glass that hung TO reflect the store, a
stout arm reach up and take from the shelfa heavy
white cheese. Instead Of appearing suddenly
and rtbutlng the man FOR his theft, and thereby
losing his custom forever, the crafty old pentle-
man gave the thief his change as il nothing had
happened. and then, under the pretence of lifting
the bag to lay it or his horse, took hold of it; on
doing SO 1t appeared heavier than he seemed 10
expect, upon which he exclaimed, Bless me,
must have rcckoned the weights wrong."''' Oh.
no." said the ether, "you may be sure Of that, for
counted them with YOU" well, well, we won't
dispute about the mater-it is easily tried" re-
plid Mr s., putting the bag into the scale again
"fhere ~ said he, told you SOL knew l was
rjght.-Iuade mistake of near 20 pounds; howev-
ef, if you don't want ali I'll take part of il out q,
NO. no." said The other, staying the hands OF
! Mr.. :. on his way 10 the Strings Of the bag, ~
ratheI guess III take the whole" And this he
did, paying for his rascaity by receiving skim
milk cheese AT the price Of fine wool.
