""An old trader, Who had establishoj

trials Wifh his red customers. Other
t ran era had located lit that same place
beTort, bnt had not remained long.—
The Indians, whb evidently Wanted
gobttfc and had money and furs, looked
about the store of the new trader and
carefully examined his goods, but of
fered to bnv nothing. Finally, theii
fehfef, with a large number of his trib*,
visited him.
"How do, John?" said the cMrtf.—
"BHOW me goods. Aha, I take thai
blanket for me, and that calice tot
sqtmw—three otter skim for blitnkel
and one for calico. Ugh! pay you
by'm by—to morrow.''
lie received his goods and t
Next day he rmnri ed with a large
pnitofhi. band, bis blanket well
stuffed with skins of various kinds.
"Wow Jolm, 1 pay."
And with this he drew an ottci
skin frrtm his blanket and laid ft on
the cotin 6r. Then lie drew a sec

very rich and rare one—and passed il
oSHf : ra7TT~Tr' T rT-' r—
"That's right. John."
The trader instantly pushed back
the last skin, with:
"You owe me but four. I want
only my Just d«e. M
The cbiet romsoi to take it, and
tlroy passed it several time* back and
forth, each one asserting that it be
longs! to the other. At length the
dusky chieftain appeared to be satli
fled. He gave the trader a scrutinis

into (he blanket. Then he stepped te
the door and gave a yell, and cried
out to his followers:
"Came! come and trade with the
pale face John. lie no cheat Indian;

Then turning luck to the trader, lie
said: .

' Two miles south of Alibion, raja
the Rochester tN. Y.) "Kxpreu,"
Uvea a very aingular person named
Anthony Tripp, fit old man between
seventy ntui eighty years of age. He
lives within a mile and a half of the
Kingra Fall* Railroad, yet he haa nev
er seen it, nor the locomotive. For
oVer half a century he has dwelt
by himself, d«Mg «H his household
work. Dnriitf I hat time no woman
has erosred his threshold, and indeed,
few men. If a woman approaches
his premiao* he would bar the doors
and take refuge in lite cellar. Withme
he wonld Iwld no intercourse, except
when abtalully necessary or unavoid
able. Latter! r lie seems to hare
taken even a stronger antipathy to
his fellow creatures hiding himself
upon the approach of any person.
When Anthony Tripp was ab&nt
twenty year* of affe, as the story runs,
he fell in tore with a pretty neighbor
girl, and waa engaged to t>4 ptarrkd
to her. From lliat time hi* lite was
embittered, and fce lowswore woman
kind. . He was not one ot those who
think then are good flab In the *ea
a* ever were, caught. The falseness
ot this g?rl partially craze! him, ami
be has siuce dwelt apart irom human
kind. This should be a warning ta
young woinon never to JUt a lover.
