Fred. was ;i petil sr. ami among
his numerous Iriends was Judge Nel
son who reside I in the nurthf rn part
of Pennsylvania. Fred, always made
the Judge’s house his ho rile When lie
iravtled tti that part of the country. —•
l'lie Judoe was a line*, jovial fellow,
Iwiid ol ;i joke, and was always living
to get a joke On Fred when he stayed
with him.
One day, sometime iil the vs ar IBJ9.
Fred was passing through and put
np with him over night. In the mor
ning he was determined to drive a trade
with him of some kind, offering in his
usual way to lake anything for pay
nfient.
“I’ll tell you what I’ll do,” said the
Judga, laughing. ‘Fve got a first rate
grindstone out in the yard, it you’ll
take that i’ll trade it oii;.’
‘Very well,’ said Fred ; -I’ll take it,
I’ts just as good pay as I want.’
I hey went out to the wagon, and
the Judge turned out his grindstone,
which I red loaded on his wagon and
s irte 1. lie had not goi • far bes ,re
he saw a biiltOtrii'ik and stopped his
team,
‘Good morning, Squire. Want any
thing in my line this nio-ning?’
4 Well, I don’t know, Fred,’ replied
he, in a bantering tone; *g«tany grind
stones ?’
‘Yes. sir; got a first rate one; just
come out and look at it.’
Now it happened that the man did
not rsklly want a grindstone; he was well
acquainted wYii Fred, and spoke in
the manner lie did, because lie had no
idea Fred bad oiie.
‘I like the looks of that stone, said
he, after examining it, ‘and as I want
one very much, and you take anything
in payment, I'll give you six rents a
pound for it, (four cents Was the regu
lar price,) provided von will lake such
property as I turn out for payment.’
‘Certainly,’ replied Fred ; ‘I always
do.’
‘Ver„y well. How much doe« this
grindstone weigh ?'
Just forty eight pounds,’ said Fred,
and proceeded to unload it.
‘Now come with me, Fred,’ said the
old ’Squire, grinning, when this was
finished, ‘and get your pay.’
Fred followed him to the stable.
‘There,’ said he, pointing to a bull
calf, just six weeks old, which was
standing iu the stable, ‘there’s a first
rale calf, worth about three dollars,
which I suppose will pay for ths
grin Istone.’
•Very good. Just as good pav as I
want,’ said Fred, as he unfastened his
Calf and led him to his wagon.
‘But stop a minute,’ said lie, ‘I sh?.ll
be back this way in about three weeks,
and if you will keep) him till then I
will pty what you think, is right for
doing it.’
‘Oil, yes, Fll keep hitn for you,’ said
the ’Squire, laughing, as Fred drove
oIF, with the idea of having baat him.
He supposed that Fred would never
ea’d lor the calf. But he did not know
his man. and when he called, the Squire
had nothing better than to give tip his
property.
lie then traveled onward, and as it
was now near night, Fred concluded to
put up with the Judge.
As he alighted at the gate he was
met by a hearty shake of the hand, and
—*How are you, Fred? What did
you do with your grindstone?’
‘Oh, 1 sold it. in a day nr two at good
profit, 1 Can tell you 5 I received six
cents a pound lor it.’
‘Ah !’ said the Judge, surprised ; ‘but
What have you got under there ?’ now
lor the first time noticing the calf.
‘Oh.’ said Fred, indifferently, that’s
a calf I am taking to Colonel Davis, up
our way. The Colonel made me prom
ise to fetch him one, and he seems to
set great value on him ; for my part I
consider him nothing hut a common
bull calf, not worth more than three
dollars.’
It might he as weil to mention that
this was about the time of the great
excitement about imported stock, and
that Colonel Davis, ol whom Fred
spoke, was a man known by Judge
Newton to be a heavy importer of for
eign stock, particularly of the Durham.
Judge Newton had often endeavored
to procure some of the stock, but as it
was at the time very scarce and bore
an exceedingly high price, he examined
it a little more closely, lor the purpose
of purchasing it.
•It is one of the regular Durhatas,
sure, said he, musing, ‘arid * fine «ne
st that. I! you will part w t!i him I
will give you twenty-fiie dollarv for
him.’
•Couldn't part with him for any such
money. Col. Davis is to giv® me sev
enty live dollars for him as soon as I
jet home.’
i'i.y
•We!!, you' won’t take nun clear
home * iih you, and it you’ll let me
have him. I 11 give you fifty dollars.*
‘No—ran’t do it. I have disap
pointed the Colonel two or three times
already, and lie wouldn't l.ke it /it all
i( I should disappoint him again in the
same wa.’
‘But, said the Judge, now becoming
anxious, -you can’ tell him you huv<.
not hern over the mountains.’
•I ion * i know about it, Judge,’ said
I red- after a pause : ‘as von say. *
£■ sc wa\.« hv:ar, . . •. to -oatc
thiuitog-t him there and if you will
give me seven:/ live dollars, 1 don’t
know but vou may take h yrt.’
The Judge was de' giyad at his pur
chase, and paid the money down on
the spot.
As th#y were taking the calf to the
barn Fred r*marked :
l s„y. Judge, I don’t see what there
is about that call that makes h|tn Worth
more niotn y than any others I be
lieve i can get as many such calves as
I want for three dollars.’
•I‘eihaps you can.’ answered the
Judge, ‘iit a few years when they be
come plenty.’
I t the morning at Fred was starling,
he remarked :
‘I hope when you have any more
grindstones to scli you will remember
me !’
‘Thank you, I will,’ said the Judge,
not exactly understanding what Fred
was driving af
A few days after Fred was gone, the
Squir#, of whom Fred had boiighl the
calf, was passing, when Judge Newton
called hint to tel' him that he Ittul at
last sU 'cceded in obtaining some of the
far-famed stock. The ’Squire express
ed a desir* to see it, and they ptocecd
eil to the barn.
‘ls that the one ? said he.
•Yes.
•Who did yott get it of?
‘Of Fred Griswold. I paid him sev
enty-five dollars for it.
The Squire hurst into a loud fit of
laughter. ‘Why, Judge, said he, as
soon as he could speak, 1 sold him that
calf a short time ago for a grindstone!
The Judge was perfeclv astonished.
He thought of it (or a moment, and
then said : ‘Yes-—I sold him that
grindstone. He has beat me at my
own game ! lie told me that the calf
was not worth mors than tlires dollars !
Dont say anything about this, and you
may have the call in welcome.
The Judge went back to the house
muttering, b-k-a-t !
Whitl Happened u-t Our House.
BY PETEK BFORUM, ESQ,.
After we were married, well say about
a year, vvun tnornin thar wus a terrible
commoshun in our house —old vvimmin
rutinin in mid out, and finally the
Doctor he cum ; 1 was !n a great lltirry
myself, wailin to hear, l herdly uoed
what to do, but arter awhile, an 010
granny of a woman, as had been very
bissy about thar, poked her bed into
the room wltar I was walking tiboul
and ses.
Ses she: “Mr, Sporum, hit’s a gal.”
“What” srs L
“A gal,” ses she, and with that she
pops her head back again.
Well thinks I, Fin the daddy ttv a
gal, and begin to feel my keeping nicely
l'd ruther it wits a boy tho’ thinks
I, for he’d feel nearer to me, as how he
would bare mv name and there would
be less chance for Sporums to run otjt,
but, considering everything, a gal will
do inity well. Just then the old nuss
pokea her bed out and ses
Sessile; “Aiiothe nun, Mr. Sporum,
a fine boy ” Another ses I, that’s rather
crowdin things on to a fellow,
She laned and poked herhed back.
Well, thinks I. tlris is no joke sure; at
this lick I’ll have family enuff to do
me in a few years, but the Lord’s wiil
not mine, be dun.
Jist then the ole she devil, (I always
will iiate her,) pokes her hed in an ses
Sesslte, ‘Another gal, Mr. Sporum.”
“Anuther what ses I.”
“Another gal,” ses she.
“Well,” «es I, go rite strate and tel!
S.il I won’t stand it —don’t want ’em
—ami I ain't going to hav ’em ; dus
she think I’m a Turk ? or a M ornion?
or Brigham Young? that she'd go for
to hav thribhs? three at a pop? dus
she think I am rvuth a hundred
thousand? that I am John Jacob Ast-r
or Mr. Itoschile ? that I can a (lord to
hav thribhs, and clothe and feed three
children at a time? I ain’t agotu to
stand it no how, I didn’t want ’em, I
don’t want ’em, and 1 ain’t guilt to
want ’em. now nor .no other time.—
I Ini lit I bin a good dutiful husband to
Sal ? Ilaint I kepi in doors uv a nite,
an cpiit cliewin terbacker, and stnokin

nued better and had’nt orter dun it.
She dun it with her ise ope in an inns

Sal. would serve rue sicli a trick no

I ever done any mean trick, that she
would serve me in this \v«\ ? An with
liiat I laid down oil the srtire, and felt
Oitul bad. and the more I tliot about it,
the wuss I feft.
Presently Sal’s msmiirt, old Miss
Jones, rum in an ses :

it-s r ark.— The follow mg beiutiful
sentiment is from it book entitled “.The
Night of Heaven.” It is full of touch
ing tenderness;
It is dark wh?n the honps,t,and hon
orable man sees the results of long years
sweep cruelly away by the jviiaviah,
heartless adversary. It is dark when he
IteU the clc: and« of sorrow gather
round and knows that the hopes and
happiness in others are fading with
his own. But of that hour the mem
ory of past integrity will be a true
consolation, and assure him even here
on earth of gleams pt lfi-ht in heaven.
It is dark when the dear voice of that
sweet child, once so fondly loved, is
no more heard around in murmurs.—;
Dark when the light pattering feet no
ntorj resound without the thresh hold,
or ascend step by step up Stairs.—
Dark when some well-known air recalls
the strain once oft attended by cuildish
voice now hushed in death ! Dark

heralds the day-fprirg of iminortslily,
and the infinite light of Heaven.
