FATE OF A RARE STAMP.
craved by Collectors and Burned by q
Careless Domestic.

In the year 1851 u twelve penny black
Canadian postage stamp was printed
by the government at Ottawa. The
public did not regard this somber issue
with favor. so few were issued.
One of these stamps was sent to the
Hamilton postoiiice. where Il was sold
TO an old gentleman. who said 1t was
shame TO print the queens picture
on stamp that might be handled by
profane hands. Tenderly the old gen
tlenan put II on parcel, sending II 10
Il friend In the United States. Here,
In the wastebasket II lay for many a
day til an errand boy found II and
quickly transferred II to his album.
Despalrlng OF getting good collection
abatlng. he sold them to dealer. The
new owner. ON looking at the cata-
logue. found that what he had paid So
for was worth So.
Accidentally the stamp WAS slipped
into - cent packet and sent to a
dealer residing In Hamilton. When
the latter opened the packet he was
astonlshed 10 find such valuable
stamp and being honest. wrote his
friend to inform him OF what had hap
pcned. Offering him $1,000 for II. The
offer was accepted. and the stamp
again changed hands. by this time the
stamp had increased In value. and not
a few came from distance TO look at
the treasure. one day an English no
blcman. who. through Canadian
friend. had heard Of the stamp. offered
81 .lOo which offer was accepted The
English lord. falling In love with an
American heiress ana wishing to gain
the favor OF her brother. presented
him with the stamp AZ a token Of
esteem Here. In Its new and luxuri-
Gus American home II came TO n sad
end. FOR one day the maid. by mistake,
swept the stamp which had accidental
~ fallen out OF the album. into the
fire In an instant the stamp which
thousands had heard OF and longel
for went up In smoke 10 the broad.
blue sky. leaving not trace behind.
