A Stery ef Fifty T-e-i-l-e-r.s, Express companies, in the course of their business, always have anumber of unclaimed or unredeemed packages left upon their hands. John Smith, for whom there is a trunk which goes by express, cannot be found, and the aide is returned to the office: and John rown, who is suspicious that the contents of a certain bundle will not pay costs and charges, refuses to receive the same, and the bund!e goes hack to headquarters, while John Jobnson is unable to pay freight and charges ou the bundle gent to him, and it is returned to awa'tan improvement in Mr. Jobneon’s finances These unclaimed goods are known to the express folks as ‘‘old hoss” packages. The phrase ‘-old hoes’’ signifying that they are not ee: and that all the animal ever will be good for—to carry out the fig- ure—is his hide and shoes, for these packages do not often yield more than that proportion oftheir value. After these ancient equines are kept a reasonable time, they are adver- tised as being for sale, “ unsight unseen,’’ and they are shipped off, bag and ba, age, to be sold to the highest bidder, after having been duly advertised inthe newspapers. As these “old hoss”’ packages are sold without ‘-break- ing bulk,’’ the sa‘e is much in the nature of a lottery, the purchaser of a package not know- ing whether he is bidding for a trunk full of silks, with a few diamond bracelets and neck- laces interspersed throvgh the goods, or whether he is buying in the patched corduroys and hob nailed brogues of a gentleman en- gaged in excavating on the railroad. Nota hundred years since, an express company, lo- cated nota hundred miles from the city of Philadelphia, hed one of these “pig in-a-poke”’ kind of sales, where a very large stud of “‘old hosses’’ was to be disposed of. There were bi les large and small; trunks heavy and and perkegee of every conceivab'e shape and style. Thesale came off, somebody got the prizes, if there were any, and some- body else got the blanks, of which there cer- tainly were some, and the express company So the profit or the loss, as the case may ave been Shortly after the sale—and after the “old hos-es’’ had been ecattered and forgotten by everybody except the purchasers—the agent of the express company was hailed one day by a stranger, who 2 eee a great anxiety to communicate something tohim. Thestran- ger was alittle, sharp looking German, not over cleanly in his person, or prepossessing in his general appearance. “Mr. S.,’’ says the little man, “I wants to sare mit you; someting for your own goot. tnd! Idon'teare for der fifty t-o-l-l-e-r-s ; but it’s for your own goot!”’ The stranger said be did not care for the sum he named, but the manner in which he drawled out the word “ dollars,” the unction with which he dwelt upon it, and rolled it like a sweet morsel upon nis tongue, abundantly proved that the doliar was his god. Besides, the manner in which he introduced the dol- lars without any explanation to his meaning, showed what was uppermost in his mind ‘* Well,’ responded Mr S. to this strange salutation of the avaricious German, “and what is for my own good?”’ “I will tell you, Mr. S , but mind! I don’t care for der fifty t-o-l-l-er-s! Ican afford to be sheated, for I is in de auction business myselfs. Oh! I will give you my card !"’ The card was produced from the breeches pocket of the little man, and Mr. S. read upon its greasy surface, that Mr. Isaacs (as we will call the stranger) was a general dealer in sec- ond-hand goods, and that he moreover sold such articles as have parted from first hands ataustion Next to the *‘t-o-l-l-e-r-s,”? Mr. Isaacs paid special attention to the cireula- tion of his cards, and his hand went to his pocket in search of the bit of pasteboard, as though it was so used to it that the operation had become purely mechanical. Mr. S. could not glean from the card what was ‘‘for his own goot,’’ and so he told the little man. “Wait awhile. I will teil yo fiftytal te ‘So I perceive,’ responded the express- map, dryly. “No. for I do goot business myselfs; I will—Oh ! I did give you my card!” From sheer force of habit the little man plunged his hand into his pocket in search of a card at the allusion te his business; but re- collecting that he had already handed a ** document’? to Mr. S., he finished the sen- tence he was uttering in the manner we hava described “Well, you see, Mr. S , your Express Com- pany is large, and make a goot deal of mon- i-b, and I tinks it wrong you go to people who sheats; but mind! I don't care fur der fifty } to-l-be-rs!” | ’ continued the latter, “and t you see / dan’t mind der ‘* Bat what about the fifty doliars?”’ inter- posed he cf the express. uccoming somewhat wearied with his money-loving friend. “Ah! I will come to that soon You see it is for your own govt to employ honest auc- tioneers. I am in dat business. I will give— Ok! I did give you my card!” The inevitable right hand went into the breeches again, but it was again withdrawn | empty as usual ‘De auctioncer who sell your goots have sheats in his store. But wind, it’s for your | own goot I say so, for J don’t care for der fifty t-o-l-l-e-r-s! Ican lose de monish, for I do got business) L will—Ok! I did give you my card!" Mr. S was becoming tired of the everlast- ing preamble, and he gave Mr. Isaacs a bint to thateff-ct The latter promised to cut the matter short, and after repeated assurances cf how entirely indifferent he was respecting “der fifty to l-ler-s,”’ und frequent offers vf a fresh tender of his pocket advertisements, which offers invariably ended with “OA! I did give you my card!” he proceeded to tell the story of the event that had exerted bim go much. We give it in his own words, re- gretting that we cannot portray his manner with bis language. “ You sees, Mr. S., 1 see de advertisement in de paper that you will sell big lot of what you call unclaimed packages, unsight, un- seen. Now, tinks 1, me make some monish ; here is a goot chance. You see Ideals in second-hand tings. I will a I did give you my card! Mind, dis is ai! for your own goot, for I don’t care for der fifty t-o-l- ler-s! “Well, I goes down to de auction store where dese ‘ unsight, unseen’ packages was to be seen, and sees dere a black man, der bor- tor of der sthore—Mr. 8. dis is all for your own goot; [don’t care for ter fifty t-o-l- d-e-r-s! 1 do goot business; I sells goots by auction myself, 1 will—Ok! I did give you my card!” . “Well, [says to dis black borter, here is half a-t-o l-l-e-r for you ; shust open some of dese druoks what * unsight, unseen,’ and no- bedys know any ting about it. De borter he gets a bunch of keys, and he takes my half- a t-o-l-l-e-r, and he opens some of der dranks; ou see My. S., / dow't care for der fifty t-o-l- ~e-r-s! but I don’t like to be shea’ Dis borter sheats, sheats me who is auctioneer myself, Oh! I did give you my card!” “« Der first drunk dis borter opens was full of clothes, goot csoth coat, velvet vest, fine shirts, hair brush, all fuss rate Dat drank worth dirty t-o-l-\-e-r-s if I had him in my auction shtore. I will—Od! J did give you my ecard !”” “Well I shust. put, my brivate marx on der end of dis drur.k, so I know it again, and der borter he opens more drunks. not goot for much, and dem I don’t mark; but art goot.ones I marks so as to buy dem myse' nextday. -You see, Mr. S., disis all f own goot, J don't care Sor der ffey tnt l-eorea!”’ “ Der next day I gocs to der sale and I bids on der drunks I have put my brivate mark on. On one I bid fifteen t o-1-l-e-rs; two I give ten t-o 1-l-e-r-s a-biece for, and 1 buys some chests My bill was fifty t-o-l-l-e-rs; but — Mr 8S, I don’t care for der fifty t-o-4- ere? “Well [ goes home and I tells my wife I make good speculation, and dat we have nice lot second hand clothes and tings to put in der store.

Bat, mind, Mr. 8 , th: me sheated, J don't care for der fifty to t- l-e-r-3!” Mr. Isaacs concluded the story of his wrongs by repeated assurances that he was entire); indifferent to the loss of his “ fifty t-o-i- l-e-r-s,”’ and wound up by recommending his own establishment as the place where the public would have justice done it he last words Mr 5. heard as be walked away from the overreached German, was a reminder thet he, Mr Isaa d given him “ Ats card !”’ sthere are in this world who in their stories of their imagined wrongs, only expose the fact that he who would have been the biter has been bitten himself many of your keen thorns prick their own fin- gers with their sharp practice and how many an individual gives the lieto his pretended indifference about a matter by talking inces- sautly concerning that which he is anxious the world should believe he never thinks of. Instrections ror Savine Garpex Seeps.— When the seeds are ripo, gather them without unnecessary \y ; otherwise the pods will split open and their contents be scattered upon the ground. Do not gather indiscrimi- nately, but take only the finest looking heads, By this selection of the best plants and the best seed good varieties may be even improved, and they certainly will not deteriorate. In this way many of our choice vegetables have been obtained The practical stockbreeder's motto is thet “like produces like,” and he breeds from those animals only which posse s the points he wishes perpetuated.

With care seeds may be preserved for several years The following good natured pai is going the round: “ Speaking ae let me tell you an anecdote of my friend Godey, of Philadelphia, of the Ledy'’s Book, sir, the best hea man of that name in the world Well, sir, Godey had a new servant girl; I never knew anybody that did’nt have ®& new servant girl. ell, sir, Godey hada dinner party in early spring, with lettuce. He isa capital hand at salad, so he dressed it. The guests ate it; and—sir—well, sir, I must hasten to the end of my story. Said Godey to the new girl next morning, ‘ What has be- come of that bottle of castor oil I gave you to put away yesterday morning!’ ‘Sure,’ said she, ‘ you said it was castor oil, and I put it it in the castor.’ ‘Well,’ said Gody, ‘I thought 30.” Es A remarkable case is on trial ion Tioga county, New York Aman named Ruloff, who has just served out aten years’ term in Auburn State prison fur the abduction of his wife and child some twelve years since, is now indicted for their murder. He says that he knows where bis wife and child are, but that he will suffer the muscles of his arms to be burned off with a hot iron before be will open his mouth on the subject. A fow days since an unknown man, clauning to be the ther of Ruloff, was allowed to visit him; the prisoner at first refused to acknowledge him, but afterwards owned the relationship and re- ceived from his brother over a thou-and dol- lars to pay the expense of his trial. The case causes much excitement. ig It has been ascertained, by au- thority, that it takes less yards of goods for a dress pattern for a large sized lady, than it does for the dear little creatures who trip along our streets. A few days since, @ lady in this city, of more than eager f mind, while examining some goods, was told by the clerk that Ae thought the pattern rather scant for her, replied that there was plenty for her but not enough for asmallwoman. Theclerk ap- ared surprised at the idea. She accord- ingly explained thus: the larger ones want to appear small as they can conveniently, while the smaller ones want to show off as possible!
