10 Our Daniel remarked the other day,
that the next time he put up at hotel, he
should enter his name as s,Daniel Sharp
judge"
We asked him if he had ever tried it, and he
replied;
eyes, tried it once, and it worked like
charm. I had the best accommodations in
the house for about week, WITHOUT any expense
till the landlord one day touched me on my
arm, and says he:
s'sYou are judge of the Probate, are you
not2'
ssNo," replied I, looking careless-like.
&c sNot of the Supreme Court, certainly p
says he.
ssNo, rejoined /, ssnot of any court.''
"sOf what are you judge, then p continued
he, thinking of the many fixins he had sent up
to my room.
ssI am judge" pompously returned I, cot
of good hoing"
ssHe said he would be happy to have me
remain with him another week, but he ex-
pected great deal of company the next day,
and had to leave. ."-Litrary Museum.

A BARGAIN.

celebrated essence pedlar. who had per-
ambuiated the streets Of Newburyport nearly
the whole Of q long summers day, without
selling single vial of his wares, called in up
on halter, near the market place, and told
him that he should like good hat, provided
he could pay for it in his essences Trade had
been rather dull with the halter also, that day;
SO he was not backward for an operation and
in short time bargain was struck up for
tile, tns price Of which was fixed at five dol
lars, to be paid in essences.
''There, by thunder !" exclaimed the man of
extracts f'Tve made one trade to-day, any
how"
'It's the first bargain I've closed today"
returned the halter
.'Now," continued the pedar. man, 81 don't
want this hat, it is too nice for my business,
exposed as | am to all weathers-suu, dust
and rain. What will you give me for it in
cash 2"
81 sell, but do not buy hats" returned the
man of s'tiles''
''You shall have it cheap said the pedlar;
"Tll sell it to you for three dolars'
"No, you will not" replied the halter,
swell. importuned the vender of tinctures,
sswhat will you give fort ?"
81 tell you sell, and do not buy. at any
rate" returned the dealer in s'castors"
"But," continued the indefatigable dispenser
of peppermint and lavender, ssit certainly
must be worth something to you: it must have
cost you something for stock and labor, now,
please make me one offer, and I'll not ask YOU
further"
The halter, wearied with his customer,
took out dollar and half, threw it upon
the counter and said
elf you want that for the hat, take it and
be off, for it's all you'll get from me''
The essence man took up the money, and
coolly put it in his pocket and started for the
street. just as he was closing the door, he
said to the latter, swell, old cockalorem, I've
made seventy-fve cents out of you, anyhow !"

CURRENoY.-During the first year Of
the war, when change was scarce, and
some large merchants were issuing cur
rency OF their own, farmer went to a
store in neighboring town, bought
some goods and gave the merchant five
dollar bill, of which .he wanted seventy
FIVE cents back. The merchant counted
out the amount and handed it over to
the farmer. He looked at it moment,
and inquired:
"What's this ?"
otis my currency" said the merchant
"Wal, faint good for nothin' where
live" said the farmer.
Every WE'LL" replied the merchant
"keep it until you get dollars worth
and bring it to my store, and / will give
you dollar bill for it"
The farmer pocketed the change and
departed A few weeks after he went
into the same store and bought goods te
the amount of one dollar, and after pay.
ing over the identical seventy-fve cents
he took out handful Of pumpkin seeds,
counted twenty-five Of them, and passed
them over to the merchant.
"Why," said the merchant, "what is
this P,
"Wal,0 says the farmer, "this is my
currency, and when you get dollars
worth bring it to my place and l will give
you dollar for it"

LOOK UP.

1t is what we rejoice to see-men, women,
and children rich, the poor--the old and
the young, always looking up. 1t shows the
purity of your intentions, and the determine
tions of your own heart. We see in it the
elements of a true man. No matter if the seas
have swallowed your property, or the fires
have consumed your dwellings-look up, take
fresh courage. Is your name by-word, or a
reproach? Look up to the purity of the skies,
and let its image be reflected in your heart.
Detraction, then, will rebound from your
bosom. Are you trod upon by the strong p
Look up--push up--and you viii stand as
strong as he. Are you crowded out of the
society OF the rich Look up, and soon your
company will be coveted. Whatever may be
your circumstances or condition IN life, always
make it a point to look up-to raise higher
and higher--and you will attain your fondest
expectations. Success may be slow, but sure
it will come. Heaven is on the sideof those
who look up.-Exchange paper.

PURCHASING A FARM.

Collector David Henshaw was kind hearted
man as we'll as able; but smart as he was, ON
one occasion in doing generous act he was
sadly taken in. An old customer doing bust
ness in Eaton, New Hampshire, had failed,
owing Mr.. Henshaw's firm about So, 900 =
After settling with other creditors he came to
see Mr.. H.
"Well. sir" said the latter. sswhat can you
do for us?"
''Haye saved my farm for you, sir" replied
the unfortunate.
"Your farm, heya" said Mr.. H., sand what
have you got left?"
s'Well sir, horse, q pig and COW, and al
together think they may bring me in about
seventy-fve dollars-suficient I hope to get
myself and family out West, where intend to
settle; by the way, here's the deed of the farm,
sir" said the poor but honest debtor, as he
passed the document which certified Mr. HIS
legal right to two hundred acres of land, more.
or less, and long known as the Cold Stream
Farm.
ooh, that will never do" says Mr.. H., and
drawing his check for $500, he handed it to
his Old customer, remarking at the same time
that "he was sorry for his misfortunes, and
| appreciating his integrity, it gave him great
pleasure to be able to afford him a little aid in
starting again.
The poor fellow was greatly surprised, and
reluctantly taking the check, ''with drop in
each eye," heartily thanked his generous cred
ltor and departed, but to be seen by Mr.. H.
no more.
About the first of the April following, Mr..
Henshaw thought he would go up to Eaton
and take a look at his real estate there. Arriy-
ing at about dusk, he ssput up'' at the tavern
kept by his old friend March, who, on learn
ing his guests errand, said be would 90 out
with him the next morning and show him
| where the farm lay.
Next day, soon after breakfast, the two SAL
lied out to see it. After proceeding few
rods, the old tavern keeper halted, and direct
ing his companions attention TO bare but
very steep and rough looking mountain. that
stood few miles off, remarked that was called
''Bald Mountain
''That is rough looking place." said the
other.
"WeH," continued the tavern keeper, ssthe
location of your property-'the Cold Stream
Farm'-is on the top of that mountain"
yes, but how do yon get up there?"
"Why, you don't suppose anybody was ever
up there, do your
swell, what's the good of it-what is done
with M" ruefully inquired the amazed mer-
chant.
1.-The town sells it every year for the taxes"
replied the tavern keeper.
''They do, hey? says Mr.. H., and pray tell
me who IN these parts is fool enough to buy
that style of property"
s'Why, any of our chaps around here who
get into trouble, or fail, buy it for the purpose
of settling with their Boston creditors''
| Mr Henshaw took the first opportunity to
return home, and perhaps would not have told
this story had not one of his friends, in asking
| him, as collector, to give man place in
the custom house, for one reason, among and
| above others, that he was from New Hamp-
shlre-when he gave this little bit of expert
ienee with one of the Granite State men,

GF The following account of a con-
versatlon between General Grant and
Governor Curtin is in circulation:
"Why do you like the Methodists,
General e finally asked Curtin.
because their religion is one Of hard
knocks They take hold of man and
never let him drop until they have either
converted him or scared him so he will
say his prayers some time in his life, and
thus thu, be saved" said Grant, with smile.
Then, - too, it is an American religion.
Inc Methodists are entirely democratic,
yet no church appreciates the value Of
union, Rehabilitation, or Capitalization in
government more than the Methodists
l wish that our national Government had
the liberty and the strength that it ought
to have from proper exercise Of these
principles"
These are sound Democratic opinions,
