TAKING IT EAsY.-Old father Hodge
was queer brick, and in his own way made
everything subject of rejoicing.
His son Ben came home one day and
said
Father, that old black sheep has got
two lambs"
"Good," said the old man, "that's the
most profitable sheep on the farm"
"Bus one of them is dead" returned
Ben.

exclaimed Ben.
"Dead dead! what, the old sheep
dead!" cries old Hodge, "that's good, she
was always an ugly old scamp"

A Financial Operation.

We lately heard a story illustrative of the
early days of York county-thOse good old
times when everybody was " honest as the
days were long" The parties We're two of
the early settlers in the Western part Of
York (now Adams) county-both were Of
the honest old German stock-and as one
Of them is still living, we suppress the
names. Peter, it appears, had increas ID
the size Of his farm by annexing thereto a
small tract adjoining, and lacked about a
hundred dollars of the sum necessary to
pay for the new acquisition. He called
upon his neighbor, George, to borrow the
amount. George brought out the old bas
ket, and counted down the desired number
ofthalers-and then, of course the two sat
down to two large earthen mugs of cider
and as many pipes of tobacco. After smo-
king over the matter for while, it occur
red to Peter, that in similar transactions
he had seen or heard of something like a
note passing between the borrower and len
der, and he suggested as much to George.
The lender assented to the propriety Of
the thing-paper, pen and ink were pro-
duced-and between the two document
was concocted, stating that George had
loaned Peter one hundred dollars, which
Peter would repay to George in dree
monts." (three months.) This Peter
signed, and thus far our two financiers had
made the thing all regular and ship-shape.
But at this point difficulty presented it
self. They both knew that notes were
made in the operation of borrowing and
lending which they had witnessed but
neither could tell whether it was en- regle
for the borrower or lender to take charge
of the paper! Here was dilemma
At length bright idea struck George.
You haf de money to pay, Peter,-so
be sure you must take dis paper, SO as you
can see you haf to pay it, This was
conclusive-the common sense of the thing
was unanswerable-and Peter pocketed
the money and his own note, $50 as he
could see as he haf to pay it J" Three
months passed over and punctually to the
day appeared our friend Peter, and paid
over the promised sum to George. This
being done, the mugs and pipes were
again paraded. After putting awhile,
Peter produced the note, and handed it to
George, with the remark: Now you
must take de note, so as you can see as de
money haf been paid.
