A Financial 0peraHon.

We lately heard a story illustrative o
the early days of York county-those goo'
old times when everybody was "honest a
the days were long" The parties wer'
two of the early settlers in the western
part of York (now Adams) county-botl
we're of the honest old German stock
and as one of them is still living, we sup
press the name. Peter, it appears, had
increased the size of his farm by annexine
thereto small tract adjoining, and lacked
about hundred dollars of the sum ncces-
sary to pay for the new acquisition. He
called upon his neighbor, George, to bor-
row the amount. George brought out an
old bread basket, and counted down the
desired number of I" thalers" rs"-and then,
of course, the two sat down TO two large
earthen mugs of cider and as many pipes
Of tobacco After smoking over the mat
ter for while, it occurred TO Peter, that
in similar transactions he had seen or heard
something like a note passing between the
borrower and lender, and he suggested as
much to George The lender asseDted to
the proprcty of the thing-paper, pen and
ink were produced and between the two
a document was connected, stating that
George had loaned Peter one hundred dol
lars, which Peter would repay to George
in '.dree monts," three months.) This
Peter signed, and thus far our two fnan-
cicrs had made the thing all regular and
ship-shape.
But at this point difficulty presented
itself They both knew that notes were
made in the operations of borrowing and
lending which they had witnessed-but
neither of them had observed what dispo
sition was made Of the document-neither
could tell whether it was ne regfe for the
borrower or the lender to take charge of
the paper! Here was dilemma At
length, bright idea struck George, "lou
haf de- money to pay, Peter-so be sure
you must take dis paper, so as you can
see as you haf to pay it," This was CON
clusive-the common sense of the thing was
unanswerable, and Peter pocketcd the
money and his own note, "so as he could
zee as he haf to pay it !" Three months
passed over and punctually to the day
appeared our friend Peter, and paycd over
the promised sum to George. This being
done, the mugs and pipes were again pa
raded. After putting while, Peter pro
duced the note, and handed it to George,
with the remark, "Now you must take de
note, SO as you eau see as de money haf
been paid!'
