A Farm AnecdOte.

A farmer asked boy what he would
work for him for, one year. The farmer
was close at bargain, and the boy
knew it. Says the boy, 81 will work for
you If you will give me one grain of corn
for the first week, two grains for the sec
ond, four for the third, and doubling
each week until the fifty weeks or year
is out" "Good said the farmer. The
boy began work, and took one grain for
the first week, two for the second, four
for the third, eight for the fourth, six
teen for the fifth, thirty-two for the
sixth. "Hold on" said the farmer,
''you are taking too many" "Not at
all ,'said the boy. 81 am but carrying
out the contract" The farmer began to
figure how many grains the boy would
take in fifty-two weeks, and to his aston
ishment ne found out he would be enti-
tied to l, ,456, ,59S 1857 ,46S, ,sOS grains. He
could never pay him, and agreed to give
him, fair wages if he would let him off
from the contract.

morning whether to go to mill or to the
polls. Finally he decided for the latter.
He voted the Democratic ticket, and
Democratic member of the legislature was
elected from his district by majority
of one vote. That legislature elected a
United States Senator, and by the vote
of one member, from that district, Mr..
Hannegan was chosen. Mr.. Hannegan
took his seat in the Senate, and was
President of the Senate pro tenn, when
the vote was taken on the annexation of
Texas. On the floor the vote was tie,
aud Mr.. .Hannegan's casting vote decided
the question in favor of annexation, and
brought on the Mexican war, which has
so shaped the subsequent history of our
country. So much to illustrate the value
of one vote and the Importance of every
man performing his duty as citizen and
voter when election day comes.

A Mad Passenger.

TN June, 1860, the brig Polly Deems,
Captain Job Payson, sailed from Bos-
ton for port in Turkey, laden with
cotton goods. She was new, taut little
vessel, with plenty of storage room,
and had accommodations for two pas
sengers.
The crew consisted of the captain,
mate, four sailors, black cook, and
cabin-b boy.
Captain Payson was a conscientious,
just man who treated his crew neither
to jokes nor grog, but who lodged and
fed them better than would five out of
six of the masters sailing from New
England ports.
cold job" the mate, who was from
the West, used to say he was "a hard
man, but one you could tie to, in fair
weather or foul"
His crew were picked men, and, with
the exception of Dan, the cabin-boy,
had been with him for years. This was
Dams first voyage, and he felt that the
captain and crew eyed him with sus-
picion. He was on probation, and he
felt that not grain of favor would be
allowed him.
Dan was farm boy, who knew moth
ing of the world beyond the village in
which was his mothers church. Ship
board, the sea, Europe, Turkey-here
were bewildering ideas to burst at once
on his narrow experience, scarcely
wider than that of the house-dog sleep
ing at the barn-door.
"Keep your eyes open and your hands
ready to see the work of the moment
and to do it before the moment is over"
was his mothers last advice. "For the
rest, Daniel, ask the Lords help. You
will find him just as near to you in
Turkey, as in your own home here"
Dan, in the hurry and excitement of
getting under way, and of his new
duties, repeated this advice over and
over to himself. 1t seemed to keep his
mother near him. Several days after,
while he was carrying the dinner dishes
into the cabin, he overheard the mate
say:
1.-The boy is clipper enough for raw
hand, captain 20
"Aye," grunted Capt. Payson; "turns
out better than expected. L took him
for his mothers sake. Widow. Old
friend of mine"
Rather gentlemanly fellow, this pas
senger?" ventured the mate, finding
Captain Payson in an unusually tallxa-
tive mood.
"He is a gentleman, sir One of the
Farnalls of Springfield. Ill.health. Doc
tor prescribed long sea-voyage. A
gentleman and scholar, Mr.. Briggs"
Dan while waiting on the table at
dinner, could not help noticing the
passenger. "Some of these days."
thought the true born Yankee lad, 81
too, shall be gentleman and scholar"
Doctor Farnall was tall, lean man,
carefully dressed, with sandy hair and
mustache, but with eye brows and lashes
almost white. His eyes, too, were large
and pale. They never met the eye of
any other man fairly. Once, when Dan
happened to look at him, he turned
quickly away, and he glanced furtively
and suspiciously at the boy, at times,
during the rest of the meal.
"Don't like him." thought Dan
g Looks sneaking and tricky, and not
like gentleman"
But Dan, of course, kept his opinion
to himself. Even Job, the cook, snub-
bed the "raw hand" and tolerated no
remarks from him.
Fortunately, the lad was not sea-sick.
He learned his new duties quickly; was

believed, about 100000 sterling, which
was to be used in subjugating the Ameri-
cans. In spite of the efforts of the COM
mander to save the vessel, che went
down in ninety feet of water, carrying
with her all the manacled prisoners.
The officers and crew escaped. Many
divers have worked upon the wreck, and
in June of this year operations begun
anew in the hope that some of the lost
treasure might be recovered. Whether
anything has been found is not yet
known, for the workman are bound to
secrecy, but it is expected that the search
will continue until ice in the river, pre-

The Woman Wins.

MFR. SEPTIMUS BRIGHTLY was
1VI an aristocrat, and man of mark.
He had held many offices of honor and
he deemed himself well worthy of all
honor that had ever been conferred up
on him. What the Hon. Septimus did
not know, he considered not worth
knowing. 1t pleased him when men
bowed low to him, and it offended him
when men in the lower walks of life
failed in these outward signs of respect.
This was the man who, somewhat late
in life, took to himself young wife,
The woman whom he had chosen thus
to honor was several years younger than
himself. She was five-and- thirty, he
was five-and-fifty. However, though
younger, she was widow and possessed
of considerable wealth, and she was
quite handsome, also besides being in
telligent, witty and vivacious. She had
but one failing-one drawback, in the
Hon. Septimus' estimation. She was
Scotch by birth, and retained much of
her native idiom and accent, of which
habit her husband tried to break her.
More than once Mrs Brightly had
begged of her husband not to borrow
trouble on account of her speech but
she laid it upon him most emphatically
that he should not, under any circum-
stances, allude to her popularity of pro-
nunciation in public.
For time after this all went WE'LL
AT length, however, the autocrat mani
tested himself. 1t was at an evening
party, given by himself and wife where
many notables were present. In the
course of the dinner the lady called to a
servant and bade him to take away the
fools " her pronunciation of fowls).
Said her husband, very pompously
and pointedly:
You mean fowls, my dear ~
so, yes," she returned, with charm
ing smile; and then, to the servant:
John, you may remove the fowls
and let the fool remain !"
II is doubtful if he ever ventured up
on like experiment again.
