Quaker ShreWdness.

An aged Quaker,who kept grocery in
this vicinity, at one time became notorious
for selling small eggs. The village gossps
were ready to testify that they saw the eggs
he bought, and found them to be very large
and fine looking, and where he could find so
many small eggs as he daily sent round to
his Gus. omers, was mystery that even the
Mrs. Grundies could not fathom. There
were two mysterious looking holes in his
counter. about the size of an egg, and pub
lie curiosity was excited to the highest
pitch to ascertain what use they were put
to; no one ever saw him use them either way,
and he seemed DESTROYS to keep them GOV.
cred with wrapping paper constantly.
This fact only excited the curiosity Of
his good ueighbors the more. Some said
he had some way of squeezing the eggs
through these holes, to subtract in some
sleight.of.hand manner, he substance there
from for his own use. The only answer
ANYBODY could get from the old man, was,
4" NV friend, if | should tell thee the truth
it would neither benefit me or thee, and
don t wish 10 lie. It's a pity that lying is
sin, for it comes so easy in trade At
last it was resolved by some of the spin
sters 10 watch his actions through the shut.
ter cracks after he bad closed his shop
for the night, aud thus endeavor to find
out their use.
This resolution was put INTO execution
one night, and sure enough, they caught
him actually passing eggs through the holes
by the Eghl of a penny dip. All those that
would pass through the smallest one he
placed in basket; and those that passed
through the other he put in another; and
all that would not pass through either he
placed in pan and took them to the house
which was at the rear of his shop. On his
way thi,her. he heard the rustliug of the
womens dresses, aud in an instant he saw
he was caught; so he called them to him,
and in the blandest manner sald Sisters,
We have given yourselves much trouble to
appease This curiosity, and therefore will
explain all to We Ye see sort my eggs
into three sizes by meaus Of those holes. =
The largest use i'll my own family; the
next size sell halfpenny cheaper on a
dozen than my neihgbors. for cash; the
smallest send to those who will buy ne
other way than on credit" The ladies
were satisfied with the lesson in trade, and
spread the news abroad until we heard 1t

AND WHAT WAS DONE WITH 1T.
DEAR Sir Il was on my way in the cars
from Maine to Boston, last week, and found
myself upon the seat with gentemanly
man, advanced in years, to whom { as hon
Or old age) l endeavored to make myself
agreeable, en- route.
After the interchange of few common.
place remarks, our conversation turned up
on the subject of agricuture--the old and
new modes of farming, &c, and subse-
quently ascertained that my venerable ac-
quaintance was most intelligent farmer,
who had retired, in his old aye, upon
competency. As we dashed along in the cars
he entertained me with the substance of the
following narrative; the details of which he
assured me transpired within his own
knowledge
Speaking of the existing progress and
improvements in agriculture he said,
reminds me Of an instance that occurred
within my remembrance, which will re-
late to you, if you are disposed to hear it,

follows:
