Fred always made the Judge’s house his home when he travelled in that part o f the couu try^v The Judge was afirfep jovial old fellow fond^ofa'joke and was al ways trying to get a joke upon Fred, when he stayed with him. One day*i in the year 1839, Fred was passing through and put up with him over night. In the morning he was determined to drive a trade with him o f some kind, offering in his usual way to take anything for pay ment. “T i l tell you what I ’ll do,” said the Judge laughing. “ I’ve got a first rate grindstone out in the yard, if you’ll take that, I’ll trade it out.” “ Very well,” said Fred, “ I’ll take it, it’s just as good pay as I want.” They turned out to the wagon, and the Judge turned out his grindstone, which Fred loaded on his wagon and started. He had not gone far before he saw a customer, and stopped his team. “ Good morning, Squire. Want anything in my line this morning ?” “ Well, I don’t know, Fred,” he replied in a bantering tone, “ have you got any grind stone?” r • •• “ Yes sir, got a first rate one ; just come out and look at it.” 1 * ;; 1 * ~ • Now it happened that the man did not really want a grindstone 5 he was acquainted with Fred, and spoke in the manner he did because he had no idea that Fred had one. “ I like the looks of that stone,” he said, after examining it, “ and as I want one very much, and you take anything in payment, I will give you six cents a pound, (four cents was the regular price) * provided you will take such property as I turn out to you for payment.” r * . : v.L 9. “ Certainly, I always do.” ;/“ Very well, how much does your grind stone weigh?” ' 1. • - ,: ... “ Just 48 pounds,” said • Fred, as he pro ceeded to unload it. ; , ; “ Now, come with me Fred, and get your pay,” said the Squire, grinning, when this was finished. “ There,” said he, pointing to a bull calf, him there, and if you will give me seventy- five dollars, I don’t know but you may take him.” The Judge was delighted with his purchase and paid Fred the money on the spot.f As they were taking the calf to the barn, Fred remarked— “ Isay, Judge, I don’t see what there is about that calf that makes him worth more money than any other. I believe I can get as many such calves as 1 want for three dol lars a piece.” - , “ Perhaps you can,” said the Judge, “ in a Je W>^years when they get plenty.” examined by these investigators, and their discoveries were recorded at full length.— They ascertained that about one-fifth o f the whole weight consisted o f salt and water, the water having been stirred up with the butter rendered half fluid bv heating.

We remember some months since to have been presented with a sample of made coffee, the flavor of which greatly resembled charred wood, and its effect upon the stomach was anything but agreeable.* Indeed, in this country, as well as elsewhere, there are but two certain plans to follow to obtain real coffee; to witness the grinding o f it, or purchase it whole and grind it at home. Nevertheless there are honest coffee merchants occasionally. 9 - .’ 7 7 » The same remark applies with equal jus* tice to the trickery played upon tea. f < The Chinese adulterate it themselves before selling it to the “ outside barbarians,” by mixing it with ash or palm leaves. The English are large in the practice o f gathering the grounds, or exhausted leaves, mixing them with a so lution of gum and drying them; after which by addiftg rose-pink and black lead t o 4 face* them they are made into black tea.

He thought o f it a moment, and then sa^d: “ Yes—Isold him that grindstone. He has beat me at my own game ! He told me • * the calf was not worth more than three dol- Ha lars ! Don’t say anything about this, Squire, and you may have the calf and welcome.” The Judge went back to the house, mut tering “ b - e - a - t !” \ Fred often called there after this, but the . * . 1 Judge never reverted to the subject again neither did he ever wish to dispose of any more grindstones.
