RACHEL's SOFA-The story goes that a certain
amateur of art and literature who attended the sale
of Rachels effects with tine greatest ZEAL succeeded
in securing the most precious lot OF ALL 1t was the
chase lounge on which the poor lady had spent SO
many Of the later hours of her life and which was
well known to every requenter Of her house. 1t was
knocked down to the perseyerng admirer at ruin
Gus price, and was carried home to the purchasers
house in triumph. After a day or tWos eontempIa-
ton of the newly acquired piece of furniture, which
proved ornament to his household, he began to re-
gret the tremendous price he had paid for it, but at
length he came to the resolution OF making the best
of bad bargain, and sent for uphosterer to re-
pair the sofa, and put it into fit state for service.
The cover was full Of holes, the horse hair with which
it was stuffed proruded all sides, and therefore it
had be taken almost to pieces. While this process
was going forward, bundle of papers rolled from
beneath the head cushion; and remembering the
misery habits of the deceased actress, the happy
amateur Immediately made up his mind that it was
roll of bank notes he beheld spread ont upon the
floor AT first his disappointment great on ind
ing that the papers were nought but collection Of
lOYeleters received at different periods OF her life by
the tragedienne, and written by various individuals
of different degrees but no sooner was the suffering
occasioned by his disappointment thoroughly expe-
renced than he discovered some Of the letters to be
worth more than double the value of the bank notes
he might have found there, and that they would be
realzabe on the instant. 1t is believed that many OF
them have already been changed into gold.
