A "DROPv GAME,

IN WHICH THE "DRopPER" GOT SAWED"
IT was in York county, Maine, many
years ago, that two brothers, from some
cause, had falling out" and one had
his ire raised to such pitch that he deter
mined on revenge, even at the expense of
honesty. He, therefore, studied a game.
which he thought would injure his hated
brother in pocket and reputation, and at
the same time advance his own interest, and
CRAFTY not little his odd ADAM" His
plan was to drop his purse with $40, where
his brother would be sure to find it, then
aver that he had lost 800, aud demand that
sum from his brother, and in case he should
refuse, las he supposed he would, y to yield
to the unjust demand, he determined to drag
him into Court, where he expected to add
large costs, and finally recover $50 more
than he had lost.
Things went exactly as he expected, and
the case was carried from one Court to an
other, and came up for final decision. The
defendant had been through the whole liti-
cation, without that tangible proof of his
innocence, which was likely to have much
weight with jury, and the probability
seemed to be that he would lose his case,
and suffer heavy injury.
Just as the testimony was closing, the
Court suggested, as the complainant had
declared that he had lost one hundred silver
dollars in his purse, whether it would not
be well to see how much the purse in ques-
ton would hold. Here considerable confu-
sion arose, but the one hundred silver dol
lars were brought into Court, and the exper-
iment of getting them into the purse tried,
when, 10 ninety-nine were all that it could
be made, in any way, to hold 1t was then
decided that the purse and money found by
the Defendant could not hare been that lost
by the Complainant The modification OF
that brother who had taken such course
to injure another, and got himself so essen
TALLY bitten, can be better Imagined than
described. His heavy bills Of costs, and the
sum he had so unwittingly gioen his brother,
taught him that " honesty would have been
the best policy"

The subject of agriculture, in one res
pect to say the least, is like that of the chris
tan religion while the most powerful
minds can but feebly portray its benefits
to the human family, those of more feeble
intellect may speak of its Importance and
be partakers of its blessings. The influence
of religion is felt upon the world its bene-
fits are realized in a measure by those who are
not spiritual partakers of its blessings or en-
gagged in its advancement. So with the
fruits of the earth: they give strength and
vigor to the body of thousands and tens OF
thousands who perhaps never caused spear
of grass TO grow. or a blade of wheat to
shoot forth from the ground, and who SEEM
ingly are unmindful of the fact that the food
that nourishes and the raiment that clothes
the body are produced by the labor and toll
of others. In such the discussion Of this
subject excites no interest, and the practical
benefits of improvement will by them never
be realized Thank God that in our own
Vermont but few of this class are to be
found the climate of the country and the
habits of her citizens are not congenial to
their taste or in harmony with their pursuits.
In Vermont, to use farmers expression,
every one must "cut his own fodder" If
this principle could be carried out through
out the various villages and cities in our
country, idleness, the progenitor of vice and
crime, would be done away, and we should
ever be prosperous and happy people.
