we he'd one more trouble. which
we got on easier with. -Pugsby, the
shoemaker, who took our money, run
out Nv leather, and when he sent to
louisville for more the merchants
there, ez in the case of Bascom, re-
fOosed to take our currency. Pugsby
kuowd OF Bascom's experience, and
he came up smilin to hev us sell him
wheat enuf at greenbax prices to re-
moo his stock.
swat kin We do ." demanded i'm
dire distress, for really didn't see
why Pugsby shOodent heV wheat to
renoO his stock as well as Bascom,
ceptin that whisky is more necessary
to the Corners than leather.
DO !" said IsaakeF Gavitt, with q
expEesbun Nv skoru on his cIassiek
Ieechurs. "DO! ana yoo claim to be

Well, wher does he keep the $1,000
Nv our money? In his desk :? Yes 3?
And that is wooden and his bildIn is
wood. Very good. Tell Pugsby to
come to-morrer and we will give him
wheat at dollar bushel for all Nv
our money he beZ got. We hev
twenty-four hours, and banks, as well
as nashens, kin be saved in twenty
four hours. .-
And Issaker put some matches in
his pncket-about s. worth. Match
es hes gone up $3.50 q box-our
money.
That mite Pugsby's shop burnt up
and the fire commenced jist under his
desk. The next mornin the unfortu-
nit man came to US and insisted on
hevin, the wheat on the score ev the
money he he'd nv ours. Astta
"Bring Us the money! said Isaaker,
beaming sweetly onto him, 'and Well
give you all the wheat you want"
"But 700 know that 1 he'd your
money, aud it wuz burnt up last
mite" -
'T persOonl you he'd some Of our
money, but | don't E71Os0 II, - replied
Issaker. ''No we'll regulated bank

mans word, as you want US to. How
ken | tell but wat yOo hev that money
concealed, and tnat the burnin Of
yOor shop was q skeem 70 defrod your
creditors, am not shoor that it isn't
my dooty to investigate the matter"
And 1ssaker looked 50 stern that
Pngsby left the bank with howl of
terror.
Issaker is developing q genius In
inanseering that Pm RELY jealus NV
him. He is the master sperit of the
IDstitooshun.
Al the board Ineetins last mite we
discust wat we shood do in sich cases

no definit eonelOoshon. There is sew

other way / don't see no other way,
but do doubt It viii ssjest itselfto me
in time,
It is ast0nishin' bow the Corners is
boomin, now that Il has money Anuff.
Five new raleroads are bein built, l2s
cellars for new houses is bein dug, and
last week the eorner-stuns for eight
factrys wus lade with approprit eere-
monies. The gradin is 6ein dun on
the railroads and turnpikes, and that
part Nv the work will be pushed to an
early rcompleshun, for the laborers
fornish their own shaveis and picks
and take cur money for wages. The
laborers buy their liVip- gv the farmers
along the line with that money, and
then the farmers come to the corners
with It and cheer their soles at Bss-
conI's.
So far, all is serene and sveet. So
far the money sheds blessins. ez a
skunk does perfOOm. But at this pint
comes worry. Wat is BaseOm to do
with 1t /? The Louisville merchants
refuse to tech il for likker, and we
can't afford to give him wheat at
Louisville prices agin. We wood
build distilIery, but, alas! we can't
pay for the nails, the glass, and the
stillin apparatus in our money, and
we amt got any other. But, thank
an overulin Providence, Bascom hez
enuf iikker to last two weeks, and
suthin will turn np afore that is
gone.
Prices have gone up so thar 1t takes
