Honor BRIGHT IN HORSE TRADE.--On
Thursday last, stranger entered the shop
OF Mr.. P baker, OF this CITY, and said
Il suppose, Mr.. P, you don't recollect
me-"
Mr.. P.-I do not remember you, sir.
Stranger. Don't you remember selling
me horse fourteen years ago, and taking
my note for it!
Mr.. P.-l remember the transaction,
and that the noie was never paid; bat
do not remember you.
Strange Well, Pm the man. Since
then, fortune has been up and down with
me, and down and up, and now its up !;
and I'm able TO pay you and interest upon
interest. 1t is the only thing owe in
these parts. 1t is Sl42, as | reckon it,
at compound interest, and here it is
counting out that sum in bills and specie.
MIR: p taking up the money Are
you one Of these Milerites, that believe
the world is coming 10 an end, sir
Stranger am not a Milerite,
and don't believe that the world is COM
ing to an end; but it is time that it should
come to an end, if people don't do as
have done, if they are able.
The stranger then withdrew, leaving
Mr.. 2. in a state Of wonderment. After
he came TO himself, the first remark Mr..
p. made was-''l'll bet the whole sum he
is Democrat."-Bost. Post.
The above story sounds almost "too
good to be true" Yet we can assure our
readers there is no mistake about it, and
we think it no more than fair that Buff
ialo should have credit for the fact that the
stranger in the story is citizen Of this
place; one Of those enrerprising New
Englanders who, finding fortune chary Of
her fayors athome. cane here some years
ago. and meeting the success due to indus
try and energy, has thus discharged the
last liability which he left behind him.
Mr.. P was right-He is a democrat.
