Add cossIng 20 shis mar he sad: Il
shall lo-e six thousand dollars IL
am obliged 10 give up my interes; in
that well, and begged him TO take il
of his hands. Il am selling out and
not taking on, said the man. But
the Young man plead with him, aud
out of personal kindness he said:
Very well, will take it, In two
days they struck q vein in this well,
and it was an immensely fruitful we'll,
and he sold his share for two hum
dred thousand dollars. The young
man was present when the check was
drawn on New York for the amount,
and he felt like death and mourned,
and said 1T is always my luck; I
am little too late. And the man
said, "You may take ten thousand
of it if you want The young
man thought he was jesting, but he
assured him that he was not, and
said, Il vii! make it twenty thous-
aud if it will do any good. Or said
he, 8 will make it fifty thousand
'Wcll, said he, take the whole oft:
do not want it. Give me six thou
sand, and you may have the advan-
tage of your good luck And so he
gave the young man the advantage
of the two hundred thousand. All
ofyou that would have done that
may rise up"
A Cool FARMER.-We have seen
and heard of cool proceedings ere
this, but the conduct Of the Vermont
agriculturist was positively sliced"
lie once sold load of hay to his
ncighbor, who, contrary to his own
expectations, after seeing it weighed
stayed to see it unloaded. But a
few forksfull were off when a bounc-
ing rock rolled from the load; then
another, and then a third came bang
upon the floor.
What's that ?" queried,the buy
er in loud voice.
"Most all herd-grass this year,"
replied tho deaf man.
"But, SEQ here" continued the
other, pointing to the powders
which lay arrayed in judgment
against the dishonest hayman, what
does all this mean p
"Shan't cut nigh as much hay
this year as last" replied the dealer
in herd-grass.
Just as he had finished the last
sentence down thundered q rousing
chunk of granite, making deep iu-
dentation in the barn floor with one
of its sharp angles.
81 say, neighbor NJ" screamed
the purchaser Of granite, Z" I want to
know what in the - these are ?"
pointing to the bowlders aud the big
lump of granite.
Mr.. N. took up q mighty forkfull
of the herd-grass, gave it . toss into
the hay-loft, then, leaning upon his
fork. eiecting his huge quid Of to-
hscco, and replacing il with . fresh
one. he took q view Of the fragments
Of stone wall thsf lsy before him,
aud with one Of the blande~t smiles
