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? loi'r-l11'^ ?ryou lose^'V ' ' Two"dollar.; and fifty cents we bid, as we saw it wnvthe. samo bureau we had bought seven;:years before for ten aud a half dollars, was knocked offlo'us, This is sinjidilar enough, thought we, as wo hsd theTtrticle carried ti our room.

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 whoa % was of a-ge; but be said it Wal I not the cm?,.

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!

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.
