The mule stood on the steamboat dock,
The land he would not tread;
They pulled the halter round bis neck.
. And cracked him o'er the head.
But obstinate and braced he stood,
As born the scene to role,
- A creature of the holt*-back brood/
A stubborn, steadiest mule.
They cursed and saore?he wonld not go
Until he felt inclined ;
And though they thundered blow on blow,
He altered not his mind.
The deck hand to the shore complained
"The vamdntn bound to stay P
And etiU upon the critter'n hide

His master from tho Bhore replied,
"The boat's about to sail;
Aa other means in rein you've tried,
Suppose you twist his tail?
"Ii's likely that you'll make him land "
The deck hand, brave, though pale,
The nearer drew, with outstretched hand,
To make tho twist avail.
There came a kick of thunder sound t
The deck hand?where was he?

A moment, not a voice was heard!
But winked the mule his eye,
As though to ask, to hira occurred?

THE OLD BUREAU.
AX OLD STORY WORTH REPEATING,
As we were passing down Exchange
street, several years ago, we stopped in
front of an auction room to examine the
various-iUii" J.'jtWofti ' .'.obe
sohl under the hammer. We had been
there but a lew minntes when we heard
a female voice inquiring, "Is this bureau
to be sold to-day V* On looking up we
perceived that tho question had been ad
dressed to us by a young lady, whose sad
but pleasant countenance struck us at
once. We replied that all the articles
spread on the sidewalk would be disposed
of to-day to the highest bidder.
"I should like this bureau, if it goes
low enough," she said pointing to an old*
fashioned article thai was standing
among the oMtcr furniture; "but I never
bought anything at an auction in my lifo
and I see no women here. I don't know
as it would be proper for me to bid."
"It would be perfectly proper," we re
marked ; "but if you wish it, I will bid
off the bureau."
"If you will, sir, I shall be greatly
obliged to you."
"How high are you willing to go?"
"I don't know exactly how much it is
worth, but if it sells for three or four dol
lars you may buy it,"
"Shall I speak to a hand-cartman to
leave it at your house?"
"No sir. I will call at noon and settle
for it, and take it away. I am very
much obliged to you for your kindness."
So saying ihe lady went away, leaving
us to wonder who she was, and of what
use the old bureau could be to her. At e
examined it, took out the drawers, but
saw nothing remarkable about it. At 11
o'clock, when the auction commenced,
wo were present, and after waiting near
ly an hour, the auctioneer remarked:
"We will now sell this bureau. What
will you give me, gentlemen?" One man
offered two dollars, another three and we
bid a half dollar more. Four dollars
were b?d?four and a half and five dol
lars. Wo were astonished that the old
thiug should bring such a price. What
should \>T ^??tee 80*^ ana disappoint
the lady ? The thought atruc!: us that
it might have belonged to some friend,
and she wished to purchase it c? that
account, and rather than disappoint her,
wo resolved to bid again. The bureau
ran up to ton dollars and we purchased
it for half a dollar more. Certainly we
should not have givea four dollars for it
to use ourself. However, we bought it,
and had it sent to our room, telling the
auctioneer that if a lady should cull for
, a, to i?iOi'Li be? vvi.oro it alight bo iouud.
We examined it again, and began to re
gret our purchase, feeling almost certain;
that the young woman would not tbauk
us for what we had 'done; but we never
mourn over a bad bargain. Our philos
ophy will not permit us to do so.
A little afte-f dusk, as we were sitting
in our sanctum, the young lady came in,
with an apology for intruding, and ro*
marked: "You bought me the bureau,
co the auctioneer informed?" Yes I
bonght it at an extravagant price, I as
sure you,"
"What did you give?"
"Ten dollars and a half."
"You astonish me. What can I do?
I had no idea that it would bring over
three or four dollars, and am nut prepar
ed to pay ?or it to-night."
"I suppose it was foolish in me to give
so much for it, but I presumed you want
ed it very much."
"I did sir, and would not value paying
double the amount for the bureau, if I
were able, rather than not have it."
"So I apprehended. Perhaps it be
longed to some friend of yours ?"
"Yes, sir, that bureau was once my
mother's?and I noticed a tear come in
her eye, which she endeavored to conceal
'but she is dead now, aud I want to
keep it in remembrance ot her."
Thinking the lady might be poor, wo
told her that she might take the bureau
that night if uhs wished, and pay us
when she found it convenient.
"I am greatly obliged to you for your
kindness, but would rather you should
keep it until it is paid for."
We urged her to take it, but she re
fused, saying: "I will see what I can
do, and call in n day er two and see you;"
and bidding us good evening, she left.
There is something very mysterious
about this woman, thought we. It may*
bo that she is poar, and * perhaps in very
destitute circumstances. But she showed
an excellent heart, and the warmest at
tachment, to a deceased mother. Her
euucauVh teu*sTn?Viroeen'{.Tiod hoii %h*r
has evidently seen better days. And we
thought the next time she called upon
us, we would ascertain something more
of her character and circumstances?per
haps her name?which we felt deeply
anxious to learn.
In a day or two the young woman
called upon us again, aud with tears in
her eyes remarked: "I do not know
what you will think of me, but all the
n.oney I have in the world is five dollars;
this I have brought to you towards tho
bureau you wore so kind as to purchase
for me." So saying she placed the money
before me in silver.
"I shall not take tho money at pres
ent/' I remarked. "I can do without it;
and when you are able at some future
time you may pay it."
She expressed a great den! of gratitude
and said, "J would rather you should
take what I have, and nothing that we
could say would induce her to take the
money again.
"You appear to have seen some afllie
tion," we remarked as we saw the tears
in her eyes.
"Not much, sir ; I must confess that I
have not always been as poor as I am at
present; for I have seen better days.
When my parents were living I never
knew what it was to want for anything.
Now I cannot say so."
"How long have your parents been
dead?"
"About six years since my father died;
and it was four years ago last Saturday
since my mother died."
At the mention of her mother's name
the tears canio to her eyes?a tender
chord was touched?wo saw it and mace
no more inquiries, when she took her
leave.
It was nearly six weeks before I saw
the young lady again. Sho then called
u >on us with the remainder of the money
that we paid for the bureau.
"I have spoken to a carman who will
c ill here in a short time, and have it re
movcii Put of yourwav, fori suppose you
will bo glad of it."
"Not at ail. I ?m pletW?* -hat 1 wfta
instrumental of a iiit.P service to you, and
if you ever need as?ista?C?, I shall ever
be ready to render it,"
"I thank you sir, with all my heart"
At this moment the man came for the
bureau, wind bidding us good mrrning
the young lady left tho room. [
"Going, g?l?%?will you hut give, two
dollars for thlb excellent bureau;" ex
claimed Mr Barley, the . autioneer, ?
year or two finco, as we were passing
down Exchange street. "Here,Mr. C,"
he said turning to us, "buy this bureau;
it is worth more for kiudling wood than
it is goiug for^ Just look at it?going?

This is sinjidilar enough, thought we,
as wo hsd theTtrticle carried ti our room.
Where is the*pung. woman who formerly
owned it; Vjfeio is she;
We mode several enquiries, hut could
not ascertainivho she was .or what had

carried to the[a,uetion room by an indi
vidual whom J^tr Barloy neTor saw bo

what becam?^f the young lady seemed
fruitless, H
Several mo;ithe passed by, and still we
heard nothing of the young lady, when
one day not E&?wing but we hnght get
Borne clue of die ibrmer owner, we took
out all the drawers aeperately and exara

ment we found several gold pieces to tbo
value of abfj?t fifty dollars, besides a
note for twenty five hundred dollars,
with interest} made payable to Sarah
?, whe^sho should become of ago.
It was a \vit;: ' 5 no to, and hud been run
ning about 1 years, signed by a weal
thy man whrje reputation for.honesty is
not excecdimrjy good. . Without men
tioning to a "iixigle individual, what we
had discoverjjftga immediately renewed
our efforts toBBfefh who Sarah
was, and wh?jHrco?hl bo found. \ Wo
lived with Capt.-and did the work
of the kitchen. Of him. we could obtain
but little information. His wife recol
lected the girl, and spoke of her in the
highest terms. She believed sho had
married a mechanic, and retired from
the city, but his uamo she could not re
collect. By repeated iLquiries, we as
certained that Sarah, with her husbaud,
lived ru a small farm on the road that
lead to Saco. Taking an early opportu
nity, we started for the residence of the
young woman. After several inquiries
on the road, we were directed to the
house.
It was a pleasant situation, a little
from the road, while everything looked
neat about the dwelling. As we drew
up to the cottage, who should come to
the door but the very woman we had so
long bceu anxious to fiud. She recog
nized us at once.
"Why, Mr. C-, how glad I am to
see you. Where iu the woild did you
come from ? Walk in aud take a teat."
Her husbaud was preseut?au intelli
gent looking man?to whom she present
ed us.
"I have often thought of you," sho re
marked, "and when in Portland have
been tempted to call and sec you; but
although I have not culled, be assured I
have not forgotten your kinduess, and I
never shall forget it."
"B it you seem happier than when I
last saw you." --'
"iio assured, sir, I am. My hus
band has hired this litilo farm, where we
have resided for tbo last two years aud
wo have a comfortable living; und we are
as happy as wo could wish. In the
course of a few years, if wo huve our
health, and prosper, we are iu hopes to
purchase the farm."
"What docs tbo owner value it at?"
''He values it at about fifteen hundred
dollars. Wo had to purchase a great
many farming^ thing, or wo should havo
madea paymont toward^ it."
"But what has become of your old
bureau ?"
"I fear I shall never seo it again," she
remarked; aud after a pause, said? "I
believe I havo never told you how I havo
been situated,"
"You never did,"
'?When my mother died . U was thought
sho leil semo property in the hands of an
uncle of minc, fchot would como to me

"Was your uncle's ?arneMr.-ft
said wo, mentioning tho individual wh<^
hud signed the note in our possession.
"Yea, 8ir,-*-that was his name. H? \

to earn my living by doing the work of a
kitchen girl. One day I learned that he
was* about to dispose of what little pro
perty mothor left to pay an old dobfc of
hers. As soon as I found it comet, I
immediately went to the auction, and
found it too true. You know about tho
bureau/ the only article of mother's pro
perty! I could purchase-?and had it not
been for your kindness, it would. have
gone with the rest. The money I paid
was earned in the kitchen. As I found
it inconvenient to carry it with me, I
asked my aunt's permission tojjput it in
her garret, widen she grunted. Ou call'
ing for it when I was married, I learned
that uncle had disposed of it with some
other thiugs at auction. ' I would rather
have it thau 100. Not ttiaf the piece
possessed any real value, but it belonged
.to my dear beloved mother, (a tear came
into the poor woman/s eye,) and on that
account I did not wish to part with it.
But it was useless tu speak to uncle about
it; he was entirely indifferent to me and
what concerned me."
"Supposse that I should ten yon .that
I have that bureau in my office." ^
?"la it possible! You astonish, me,

There are nearly fifty dollars, and the
note is against your uncle, for nearly
three thousand dollars- every cent oi
which you can recover."
The astonished lady could not speak]
for some time ; but when she recovered
from her surprise she could only express
her gratitude in tears; nay, more, she
offered half tne amount, but we merely!
told her that it pleased us to have justice
done her aud be instrumental in adding
to the happiness of those we considered^
so worthy as herself and husband.
When we left we promised to call on
her soon again, and in the meantime, to
make arrangements for her to receive
her just dues from her unworthy uncle.
The old man de uurrcd a little at first
but when he found be could rob a poor
orphan girl no longer he paid the note
with interest?begging us not to expose
him.
Sarah's husband purchased the farm
on which he resided, stocking it welt and
is now an independent farmer. Two
happier souls it is difficult to find than
Sarah and her husband. May prosperi
ty attend them to the close of life.
We often call at the house of our friends
and spend there manv a. happy hour.
It was but a week or two since we saw
them as cheerful and contented as it is
possible for mortals to be.
Disease of Hogs.
The Planter and Farmer gives
these recipes for the treatment of cholera,
worm and mange, in hog*?: "There are
but three diseases requiring treatment,
which aro mange col era, and worms in
the kidney?, commonly culled breaking
down in tho loins. For manage, wash
well with lye soap, and then pot liquor.
For cholera, if I know the disease^ as
soon as you see the hog been to droop
and try to vomit, gag him and give him
twenty grains of calomel made into a
pill. If you have been in the habit of J
giving your hogs spirits of turpentine at
the rate of one tablespoonful to the hog,
put it on corn, and you will rarely bo
troubled with this fatal disease.
"If the first do. o of calomel does not
relieve in twenty-iour houis, repeat the
doso, I rarely have to repeat it if admin
istered in time. We sometimes see hogs
dragging their hind legi. This is CAused
