k0gues Cheated.

Two rogues in Albany were recently
sold very neatly. A shrewd citizen had
just drawn twenty five hundred dollars
from bank, and they saw him put it in
his pocket book, and, mistaking him for q
stranger from the country, determined to
get his money. He heard them talking
together, and saw them following him,
and, suspecting their object determined to
trap them. The story is good one:
One of them asked, "Can you tell me
where Hudson street isl"
"Don't know. I'm stranger in the
city; Just come from Cumberland" replied
the sgsnt, remembering that he had been
spotted" o. . "countryman BY the
young man who propounded the query.
After answering the question, the agent
continued on up North Pearl street q he
entered 6herman's real estate agency Office,
he noticed that his two friends" still
logged his steps.
They yemained outside the door, swat
ing his return, sasmising, no doubt, that
he would not remain there long. And
they were not disappointed, for in Q few
minutes their man" made his appearance
again on the street. -
OF course they were totally ignorant Of
what his business was in the Office. Be-
ing aware THAI these men were following
him for no good purpose, the agent very
wisely len al his money with his friend,

Twenty three years agO-or little over
"a man, who was then yousg, set up IN
the grocery and dry goods business in .
small village in Maine. He was known
as q free-hearted. jovial fellow; and as
the habits of those times were not such as
they are happily now, was quite as ready
as any Of his neighbors in taking . glass
or two of rum. Indeed, his best friends
became somewhat alarmed for him, fear
ing that his fate was likely to become that
of q systematic drunkard. One day the
clergyman who ofiiciated in the district
happened to say in the presence of this
man (who undoubtedly had superstitious
quality about him), that he had charm of
amulet, the possession of which would
surely lead q man to competence or for
tune. The remark was noted, and great
desire was expressed by the person b
question to possess such valuable article.
The clergyman said he had many Cyl.
dences of the efficacy of the article; bit
certain sacrifices were demanded of it, pd-
SCISSOR which he felt afraid his unfortunate
friend might promise to make, but woul(
forget to carry out, when the virtue of the
charm would depart and never be restOr-
ed But this objection was not allowed
to stand in the way of the receipt of such
valuable boon as the amulet was to
prove, for the strongest promises of fdel-
ity to whatever condition might be i'm
posed were given. The good pastor gave
his consent to trial, and in due time pro-
duced a small package, bound in leather
which he gave to the young tradesman
telling him that so long as he kept il
about his person, and SO long as he never
tasted q drOp of intoxicating LIQUOR
wealth would begin to come, and continue
to flow into his Golfers The conditions
were accepted, and most faithfully OBJ
served, and the amulet worn until few
weeks ago, when its owner died. . worthy
wealthy man. After his funeral it was
