A Disappointed Granger.

Jacob Gleason, of Herkimer county,
N. Y, might have arrived in New York
City, q dozen times, and departed as
many more, without anyone beyond a
hotel clerk knowing his name, if he
hadn q mission. That mission was to
trade his farm for slice of Central
Park, and raise early vegetables for the
market. He went up to the Park, and
took look around before saying any,
thing to anybody, as he wanted to make
sure that none of it was swamp land
He had made up his mind to trade his
140 acres of farm for 100 acres of the
Park when he encountered one of the
Park police, and remarked:
"This seems to be purity land, but it IS
awfully neglected. Why don't they cut
the underbrush off, and Fall-plough
itY'
"We'd rather keep it as it is, replied
the officer.
Well, that's mighty poor way to
farm it. was looking around, and
thought perhaps I'd trade my farm for
part of this. What dye s'pose they'd
ask an acre for the lower part?"
"Oh, thirty or forty thousand dol
lars"
"What?"
"Am 1 a born foolY" exclaimed
Jacob Herkimer. "I've got as nice a
farm as crows ever flew over, and all
L ask an acre is sos. I'd see you'd
see you in the red sea, sir, before I'd give
500 an acre.'
"Very well you can't have it," said
the officer.
"I don't want it. / knowed I'd be
imposed on, and told 'em all before
left home, but their eternal ding-done
drove me to comel Idont want your
land, sir-no, sirl It's all hills and hol

"That won't do, Mr.. Astor. If you
have SO much money, other people have
not. Say two and half per cent. and
tomorrow morning 1 will pay the
amount"

me all around, see here; it is q bargain.

Early in the morning sold my bills
on London at good rate, and in order
to conceal the whole transaction, car
rled round the money to Vesey street.
Presently, Mr.. Astor came in. "You
are cunning 1 buy your bill myself on
the Rothschilds. A bargain is bar
gain. The Liverpool packet came in
last night. Otters are worth pound in
London, on rising market, but that's
all right. If you had not helped my
men to examine the skins, 1 would
never have sold them to you at those
figures. How you got the news first, 1
don't know. Come and see me again.
Buy fedders for your wife and give
parties. treat you first-rate about
them otters; but young man John Jacob
make good thing out of them skins
himself, even if he sell them at two

L had many a transaction afterwards
with Astor, and had unlimited credit,
which, however,I never abused, When
ever went into his store to do any
business with Mr.. Astor, he would say,
"Cash or credit this time How your

A Doubling Darkey.

TT WAS while the Jealous and fervid
i Maffitt was preaching through the
Southwest, awakening the impressible
of all classes to various degrees OF relig-
ious emotion. A gentleman well ad-
vanced in years, and the owner of many
slaves, lying at the point of death called
faithful old negro to his bedside. Per-
haps, in that hour, theinspiration of the
master touching the condition of the
spiritual life was not much in advance
of the inspiration of faith of the slave.
Caesar had been his attendant and ever
ready helper through long years in the
past, and who should say what might
be their mutual relations in the future
1t is not all improbable that some such
thought was in the gentleman's mind
when he said
Caesar, you have been true and
faithful servant for many years, and L
have resolved to confer upon you a sub
stantial honor in recognition of your
services
While the dying man stopped to re-
gain his breath the old negro poured
forth many thanks. He certainly pray
ed that his master might live much
longer.
No, no, Caesar, know that / am
going; but this honor shall be conferred
upon you. shall leave, in my last will
and testament, the provision that you,
when you die, shall be buried in the old
family vault Will you not consider

where dis yer ole body OBJ mine is buried.

"Why, Caesar, you would not object
to such an honor as that. Think of it ::
To be laid away in the old family vault,
where only the masters and mistresses
have been laid heretofore"
"Ah, mas'r, don It care for de honor.
