The Fincastle (Va.) Herald says a
lively trade has sprung up in acurns
in the last few weeks, the price for
good acorns ranging from % to 80
cents per bushel. For fattening hogs
they are found nearly as good as corn.
This recalls the history of farm near
Baltimore which had been sold til, ee
times, aud of each sale had come back
to the sellers hands in discharge Of
the mortgage for unpsid purchase
money. Soon after he had sold it the
fourth time he visited the property
and found the purchasers wife and
children gathering acorns. Riding
home the gentleman called out to his
son. "rhe old place is gone at last
and it was. The purchaser has grown
wealthy off the land where Others had
failed. by the practice of an industry
which would not even let the acorn
crop go to waste.

Then he kissed her, put his bag up
on her back, and taking his staff in
both hands, cried.
"Woman, you shall belong to me
you shall carry my bag, and will sup
port you. Forward"
And MYRTLE, so lazy at the farm,
walked bravely on. He followed, sing
ing and dancing, sometimes even ON
his all tours, SO .joyons was he.
Since that day no one has ever heard
what became of MYRTLE.
Fritz almost died when he found size
was never coming back; but he be-
came consoled for his misfortune when
several years later, he married Gredel
Dick, the Milier's daughter-a good
natured, buxom lass, very flesh and
Wholesome looking.
Catherine then seemed satisfied, for
Gredel Dick was the richest girl in the
village. Bremen alone remamed sad.
He had come to love MYRTLE as his
own daughter.
One winters day, he was looking
out of the window, he saw gypsy clad
in tatters, with bag on her back,
traverse the snow-covercd vally he
sat down and heaved deep sigh.
"What is the matter with you, Bre-
mer?" asked his wife,
As he did not answer her. she ap-
preached him-but found that he was

Grumblers.

A very large, very respectable, and
very knowing class of misaN thropes re-
.joice in the name of Grumbiers-per-
sons who are sure that tie world is go
ing TO ruin, that they resent every at
tempt to comfort them as an insult to
their sagacity, and accordingly seek
their chief consolation in being incon-
solable, their chief pleasure in being
displeased. Their raven crooks drown
all melodies of lark and linnet. In
deed, like Jacques, ''they can suck
melancholy out of song, as a weasel
sucks eggs" 1t is to them we arc
doubtless indebted for that phrase
which includes all our actions and all
the circumstances of our being in this
world, under the general term of ..the
concerns of life"
Doleful and grabbed, their cosversa-
ton is q succession OH ominous pro-
phecies emitted in series of growls.

by cheerful things, they gruffly hint of

sunshine and the calm. You m e @

satisfaction in finding fault, you make

speaks of one of his companions, who,
in the game of whist, was always

was the growing answer, "but I've got
no other cardsw Indeed, discomfort,
in the confirmed grnmbler, is literally
a complaint-a settled disease of the
mind. All his perceptions of nature

thus apt to become stupidity in the
head and against stupidity "heaven

grumbler cultiyates his grabbed folly as

swells on tie strength of it as if TO be
a snarling bore was to reach the sum-
NIT of human excellence, and to grow
in stupidity was ITO grow in grace.
