True Contentment.
Man i lieing prone to find
Fault with the things that are -
Who still keep* wishing in his mind
For something better far ;
Yet, had h what h does desire.
Soon, sated with the aatiie.
BP of his very bliss would tire,
Monotonous and tame.
How many hours of hopes and sighs
til yearmugs vain are spent.
Thinking, if WP eculd gam the prise.
Thet wp would rest content :
but. when we reach the wiahed-for end.
And see one still beyond.
We Awn are anxious to extend
TV that which took* more fond.
Stilt it i beet such is the case,
Kor. were we satisfied
V illi things we have, each iu its )4acc.
.(ml had no wish denied.
Not any progress wnnM we make.
Nor from one stage advance.
Of let lor comfort* to partake,
Our pleasures to enhauor.
Oontentinent true is using right
The means we have to bless.
While living in expectant sight
Of greater happiness.
Anticipation i- a bliss
That each one can oujoy,
Though in fulfillment they may miss
That which thru hearts would cloy.
Growth is the common law of earth.
Change is the rule of Life.
And. l>eing of a finite birth,
Onr forme with faults are rife ;
IVrfvetiou is a godly grace
lleyoud the human scope ;
And. running an eternal race
We still must yearn aud hope
THE CRIPPLE.
Two young girls were standing by the
crossing waiting for an equipage to pas*
drawn by a span of greys, who pranced
along as though proud of their mounted
harness ami livened coachman.
"Isn't it an elegant turnout * And
to think that all that style is wasted on
a cripple."
The speaker was a bright-looking but
evidently thoughtless girl, whose fancy
was taken by show and glitter more than
by more solid qualities.
Lucretia Armstrong's eyes had been
tixed dreamily on a poor child who had
been sweeping the pavement, and whose
thin hand was reaching out for a pit
tance. She put a coin into it, as she
answered :
" I was not looking ; but why do you
say wasted on a cripple ? Has he no
mind or faculties to appreciate his bless
iugs?"
" What s girl yon are to catch one up
so! Of course hq has as good an intel
lect as any one, and, by all accounts, bat
ter than roost ; but having everything
so elegant make* his infirmity the more
conspicuous."
" I don't see why
sct-fiki imip'ansed abruptly, for
here, at the very bookseller's where she
was about to enter, a carriage was drawn
up, and a gentleman was ahghting from
it. helped by the footman, who gave him
his crutches, upon which he made his
wav into the shop.
As he passed the friends he raised his
bat to Kitty and smiled pleasantly.
Lncretia's checks were burning at the
thought that they had been discussing
his infirmities, and she selected her
paper in silence and hastened away.
As soon as she was well out of the place
she said, earnestly:
" i think that gentleman has the
most interesting face I have ever seen.
His eyes are superb—great luminous
walls of thought. I wouldn't mind go
ing on crutches to own such a face as
that"
Kitty laughed.
" Well, Cree, yon always were an odd
little thing. I see you haven't outlived
vour little peculiarities. Have yon still
* vour collection of maimeil and exacting
pets ? I declare, if it had been anybody
but dear, lovable Cree Armstrong who
had turned herself into a nurse for ani
mals, we school-girls would have cut
yon in the old days. I suppose, how
ever, 4 the child ia father of the man,' or
rather (in this case) woman, and no
doubt von've kept up your practices
since I left Gorton."
Lneretia smiled as her frieud rattled
on, but merely said :
44 1 see yon* are the same Kitty—as
much given to exaggeration as ever. But
who is the gentleman ? I see von know
him."
44 His name is Gale Bertram. Brother
Charlie is very fond of him, although a
mere boy compared to him. Charlie has
hobbies, you know, and Mr. Bertram is
so learned on almost everything under
the sun, that, if Charlie gets puzzled,
all he has to do is to go to his old gentle
man friend, and he's pnt straight in no
time."
44 Kitty, how von run on! If everyone
were like yon, poor Mr. Bertram would
be laid upon the shelf for society, I
fear." •
44 He doesn't care for society, so he'd
be no loser."
44 He's to l>e envied for his indiffer
ence, then, as he valnee it in its true
liirht."
Kitty turned and looked at Lneretia
in a quizzical way from head to feet.
44 Well, mv dear, if I did not see a
pretty, stylish young girl with my very
own eyes, I should rather say I was
talking with an aged philosopher, who
had outlived his youth. Lucretia"
this was said with great imprewnvt-ness
— 44 you shall have an introduction. I
foresee that Mr. Bertram will be drawn
out of his shell."
4, For shame, Kitty," said 'Cree, indig
nantly ; 44 1 will not be introdncixl after
such a speech. I should feel conscious
and uncomfortable after hearing him
made fun of."
Kitty suw that she had gone too far,
and turned the subject with ready tact ;
she was a natural tease, but did not like
to see anyone in bad huuior, and in that
way wa>i restrained oftentime from
wounding by her mischievous propen
sity.
Several days had passed since the
girls' conversation, when the object of it
c died to see Charlie abont the result of
s >tne experiment he had been making.
A newlv-engaged servant answered
his ring.
All unused to the ways of the family,
i nstead of cond acting the visitor to Char
lie's " den," as he called it, he was taken
directly to the music room, where his
y rang friend was listening to some
Scotch airs which Lneretia was singing
in her rich contralto voioe. •
As he paused on the threshold for a
moment, an unobserved listener, she was
throwing her whole soul into the ren
dering of "Oh, wert thou in the canld
blast ?"
Tears were near his eyelids as she
concluded the plaintive little song.
Thoughts long before banished from a
mind which wobld not be morbid—
looking resolutely at vouch
safed, instead of brooding over those
denied—now came thronging into his
mind with resistless force.
" Why, oh ! why could not the Great
All-Father" have taken my wealth and
left me an unblemished body ? Then I,
too, could have looked forward to a
happy home shared by a loving heart
Now it is denied me. Lonely and
nneared for must I go through life !"
Thus for a few moments regretful
ideas came thick and fast.
But the song was ended, and, with an
eifort, he became again his cheerful
self, as, balancing his broad shoulders
on his friendly crutches, he went for
ward.
Charlie greeted him cordially, and
introduced him to Miss Armstrong.
She bowed, and rising, went immedi
ately from the room.
The recollection of Kitty's remarks
made her sensitive for him mid she was
only too glad to escape from the
scrutiny of the dark eyes she feared
could read her thoughts on her too
expressive face.
Bertram attributed her departure to a
different reason.
" Like all others, she wishes to avoid
||| showing her aversion to a cripple," he
thought, bitterly.
Luring her stay at the Langdon's be
formed a habit of calling often, and
never objected to being drawn by
Charlie into the family circle, although
formerlY he had preferred to have him
all to himself, and to avoid the ladiea of
the family.
Several times upon liia eutiaance,
Lncretia found an opportunity to leave
1 upon a mie oatenaible errand ; but, after
a time ahe forgot to lie nervoua alsmt
his visits, and remained an interested
listener to his eloquent and instructive
conversation, and then he learned to
! look for the swift glow of sympathy
which never faihsl to brighten the large
gray eves, as the chosen theme soansl to
regions accessible only to those gifted
with natures above the commonplace.
The Langdoua lived comfortably and
eveu elegantly, but could not afford
! carnage.
One evening, just at sunset, Mr. Ber
tram drove up to the door, and naked for
Miss Kitty.
She catne to the door, aud absolutly
danoisl with pleasure when he invited
her and her fnend out for a drive.
It took the girls but a few moments to
put on their wraps ami take their places
Hi toe the carriage.
As Mr. Bertram took his seat in frout
of them he said to Kitty
•• I am *orrv I never have thought
before that a drive might lieeujoyed by
some of my young friends. I have betn
very seldah IU apjieanuice, I fear; but it
was iu reality owiug to my poor appre
ciation of my louelv rides. It never
vKviirml to me that they ootfild lie imvle
endurable to pleasant society."
Time flew ou wiugs.
Kitty's tongue, as usual, was ou
vivacious motiou; aud Lucretia uow ami
then chimed iu, although her eujovment
was moat of tlie time too deep for words.
Suddenly from the roadside rushed a
tiny Skye-terrier. evidently thiukiug his
mission lay at the bores' feet; but a
shriek and a writhing bundle of fur soon
convinced the .svujviuts of the carriage
tliat it was all a mistake on the puppy's
part.
With a faint cry Kitty put liar hand
kerchief to her eyes.
Not so Lucretia.
"Please, Mr. Bertram, have the car
riage stopped. I must see if the poor
little thing is killed."
" Now, 'Free, noue of your old
tricks," said Kittx, petualautly. "I
really believe," turning appealiugly to
Mr. Bertram, "that if you don't inter
fere, she'll bring the horrid little tlitug
iuto tlie carriage. 1 shall faint, I'm
sure I shall, if she does. She always
had a weakness for the maimed of
creation."
"Then, Miss Ltuigdou, perhaps your
friend may number me among her
protect*. I can claim a place iu that
nuik.
Kitty blushed—a vivid, unconiforta
ble, unbecoming red.
" Oh. Mr. Bertram. 1 beg your par
don! I never once thought I"
"Yon are forgiveu, Miss Kitty. Iu
your very uucousciouAnesa of treadiug
upon dangerous ground lies tiie receipt
of cure for what is perhaps a morbid
senaitiveness to my infirmity."
T timet is hail not heard these remarks.
She had alighted and gone to the poor
little victim of aalf-confnlence. Taking
him up tenderly, she found tliat his
injuries were confined to a broken leg ;
so, with much petting and soothing she
took her delicate cambric handherchtef
and bound up the wounded member.
Coming to the carriage, she lifted up a
pleading face-.
"Mav I take him in? See—he is
somebody's pet. Look at his collar. It
is of silver, and his name—Fidget—is
engraved upon it. Some one is mourn
ing for his loss. We can advertise to-
I morrow.
Of course the litte animal was admitted
on the prayer of such &u interesting
special pleader, and the party were soon
speeding homewards.
All were strangely quiet, even Kitty's
chattering tongue hail received a sadden
quietus, and Mr. Bertram was in a brown
stodv.
At last Lucretia looked np and met
his eyes fixed with a strange intentueee
upon her face.
" I know yon think me very silly, Mr.
Bertram, but I can't help it. I shouldn't
have had a moment's comfort for days
if I hail left that poor little tiling to
suffer."
44 No, Mi*s Armstrong, yon are mis
taken about my thought*. May 1 call
in the morning and express them to yon
more fnllv than I can do now."
Lneretia looked at lum, but thinking
by his expression that he was quizzing
her, said indifferently :
44 1 suppose you wialuto classify my
folly by some learned name' Beach the
records, by all means, and be sure to
relieve my suspense in the morning."
44 1 will most assuredly do so."
The low, deep voice had an earnest
ness uncalled for by the occasion,
Lucretia thought, and then dismissed
the matter from her mind and gare
herself np to the enjoyment of her
drive.
According to promise, the uezt morn
ing Mr. Bertram called and asked for
Miss Armstrong, and was informed that
Lucretia hail taken her portfolio with
her, and strolled off into the park that
lay jnst behind the residence, and into
winch any of the family or their friends
were at liberty to wander whenerer they
felt disposed.
Here, seated on a small mound, evi
dently lost in thought, he fount; Lucre
tia. and, before she was fairly aware of
his presence, he had thrown himself
down at her feet, and pronounced her
name.
She looked up with a start, and then,
observing that his face was very pale,
she cried:
4 'Are yon not well, Mr. Bertram?
Can I do anything for you ?"
He cave a nildeu start as he spoke,
and his face lost its pallor in an agitated
rnali of color.
" Ye*. Minn Armstrong, yon ran if yon
will. Will yon forgive me if I ask yon
t> iißteu to m- while I tell yon my mo
tive in coming here this morning !"
Lneretia. in silent wonder at Ins agita
tion. settled herself to listen to what he
might hare to say.
" Miss Armstrong—Lneretia—yon see
before yon a man who seemed at one
time to have keen selected for fortune's
favorite. Wealth, kind friends and
health, joined to an unblemished
physiqne, were mine until the accident
occnrred which made me a cripple.
Until very lately I have been contented,
notwithstanding my misfortune,although
I had given np all "thought of ever lieing
other than I am—a lonely bachelor.
Bnt I have fallen under a new influence,
that of love, and it rests with you to de
termine whether my future is to be hap
py or miserable."
His meaning, by this time, began to
dawn npon Lneretia.
She rose abruptly.
" No, hear me through !"
As he spoke he took her hand gently,
and said :
" Please sit down, and be your own
quiet, kind self until I finish my storv,
even if your heart cannot respond to the
overpowering passion which fills mine
with your eweet imagine to the exclu
sion of all other thoughts and feeling. I
know I am not a fitting lover to offer
myself "
Lncretia put out her hand with an
imperative gesture:
"Do not say that. It is not so? Any
girl might be proud of such an offer."
"Then yon will say ' yes ' ?" broke in
the eager lover. "Ton will be my
wife ?"
"It is so sudden. I had not once
thought of you in that light," was the
hesitating reply.
"Tell me truly. Does this pitiful
lameness lessen my chances of gaining
your love ?"
" No, oh, no !" she answered, earnest
ly. "If anything, I shonld love you
better for thinking kow much suffering
you must have gone through before
reaching your present state of noble
resignation."
"I have not been very resigned of
late; so you must not give me credit
for virtues Ido not possess. But, bless
my misfortune, after what you have said,
and bless Miss Kitty, for giving me
such an insight into my lovs's tendA
little heart! I shonld never have had
the courage to offer myse'f to you. Miss
Lncretia. liad I not heard that yon had
a penchant for the maimed. On the
strength of that intelligence I spoke.
But vou must give me an answer. Is it
'Yes'or 'No'?"
Judging from his beaming face he
I #
i was not muck in doubt tw- to which i"
I WIUI. But Lnorotin *nid softly
" 1 will tell you to morrow."
M Well, I must be content to wiut.
You can do nio ouo favor, though, at
once, (live me one hsik full into tlnwe
shy even. I have never yet been able to
decide upon their color. Tlnwe white
lids have always had a fancy of hiding
them, when I have moat wiaiied to n<ud

Lncretia flualusl ao that her pretty
face lookisl like a blnah rose ; but ahe
obeyed her lover, ami as ahe met hta
clear, truth-compelling evea, the knowl
odge dawned u|ion her that alio hud no
ueed to wait until the morrow that ahe

He read the anawer at once 111 their
ahy timid glance, and, drawing her to
him, murmured :

The 11MM-b'Mttus Tree .1 M5.1...V
ItldewHaOiW*.
A traveler gives a description of u
tiugular tree found iu the island of Mud
ngaacar, aud worhip|>ed by the
Mkodos, a primitive race who An ell in
caves hollowed out of rock*, and ate
among the smallest of human lieiugw,
the men aeldotu exceeding fifty-si* iuch
es iu height. After describing how he
was hxl to the lev bv one 11. nrick ud
their natives, he continue* ; 1 will try
to describe it to you., If you can iiuag
lue a piue-applc eight lot high, and
thick iu proportion, resting upon its
base, ami denuded of havea, you will
have a good ides of the trunk of the tree,
which, however, wu-s not the color oi
the annua, but a >lark, dingy brown, and
appareutly harvl as mm. From the ape*
id this trnuonted cone (at least two feet
in iliameter) eight haves hung siner to
the grottud, like doors swung laok on
their hinges. Theac leaves, which acre
joined at the top of the tree at regular
intervals, were alsmt eleveu or twelve
feet loug, aud shaped very much as the
American aguave, or ceutury plant.
Thev were two feet through iu their
thickest |>art, aud three feet wide, tajwr
mg to a sharp jsiiut that r*embled a
oow'a Uoru, very couvex on the outer
(but Uow under) surface, aud ou the
uiuer (How tipjier) surface slightly con
cave. This iMUi'iivv face was closely set
with verv stroug thorny luniks, resem
hhng thoae U|mu tlie head of the teojcel.
These leaves, haugiug thus lilup aud
lifeless, dead green iu color, had iu ap
pearance tlie massive sf reugth of an oak
tiber. The ape* of theeoue was a round,
white, concave tlgit*x>. like a smaller
plate set withiu a larger one. Tills was
not a dower, but a receptacle, ami there
exuded iuto it a clear, treacle lupiid,
honey sweet, aud puaaeMed of violent
intoxicating and s pontic properties.
Froia underneath the rim, so to sneak,
of tlie undermost piste, s series of lotip,
hajry, green treudnls stretched in
every direction toward* the horiaou.
Tliese were seven or eight feet loug
each, and tapered from four iuches to a
half in diameter, yet they stretched out
stiffly as iron rods. Above thi--><- i from
between the ttpjier and nuder cup, si*
white, almost tnunq>arcut palpi reared
themselves upward. Tlun as reed* and
frail as quills apparently, they were yet
live or six feet tall, and were so constant
ly and vigorously iu motion, with such
s subtile, sinuous, wleut throbbing
against the air, that they mailt* me shud
der in spite of myself with their snggi-®-
tion of serpents dsyed, vet dancing on
theirtaiis. The description I aiu giving
you now is part made up from a itla--
queut careful inspection of the plant.
My observations on the noiwum were
snddenlv interrupted by the native*,
who had been shrieking around the tree
in their ahnll voice*, and chanting what
Hendrick UiUl me were propitiatory
hymns to the great devil-tree, with still
wilder shriek* and chants they sur
rounded one of the women, and urge.!
her with the poiut* of their jaTelius
until slowly, and with despairing face,
she climbed up the stalk of the tree, and
stood ou the summit of the ex .tie, the
palpi twirling all about her. "TwkJ
liak !" (drink! driuk !) cried the men
• and stooping she drunk of the viaeul
fluid in the oup. raising instantly again
with wild frenzy iu her faee, and cou
vulaive rholeru in her liml>s. But she
did not jump down a* she seemed to
mteud to do. Oh.no' The atrocious
ranuibal that had Usui so inert and dead
came to sud.leu, savage life. The slen
der, delicate palpi, with the fury of
starved serpents, quivered for a moment
over her head, then, as if by instinct,
with demoniac intelligence, fastened
upon her in sudden coils round and
runnd her uerk and arms ; then, while
her awful screams, and yet more awful
laughter, ruse wilder, to tie instantly
strangled down again into a gurgling
moan, the tendrils, one alter another,
like great preen serpents, with bnita!
energy and infernal rapidity, rose, re
-1 tructed themselves. and wrapped her
about in fold after fold, ever tightening,
' with the cruel swiftness anil savage
teuacity of anaeoudaa fastening upon
their prey. It was the barlmrity of
i the iLaocis'ii without its !>eauty—this
strange, horrible murder. And now the
I great leaves roue slowly and stiffly like
I the arms of s derriek, erected them
selves in the air, approaching <>ue an
other, an 1 closed al*ut the dead and
hampered victim witli the silent force of
a hydraulic press, and the ruthless pur
! !*.• itf h t hit ml were w. A moment more,
i and while I could vet* the basis of the
great leave* pressing more tightly
! towards each other, from their inter
stices, there trickled down tlie steins
streams of vtsei.l Imney-like fluid, min
gleil horribly with the blood and 00/.iug
viscera of the victim. At the sight of
tliia the savage horde* around iu,
j yelled mivilv, bounded forward, crowded
! to the tree, chuqied it, and with mips,
i leaves, han Is and tongues, got each one
enough oi tho liquor b> send him mail
and frantic. Then ensued a grotesque
and iuucsci ibublv hideous orgy from
which, even while it* convulsive madness
was turning rapidly into delirium and in-
I sensibility. H. nnck dragge<l me hnr
j riedly away into the rnccsiwH of a forest,
j hiding mc from the dangerous brutes
| and the brutes from me. .tiny I never
I see such a sight again. The indescri a
; ble rapidity and energy of its movements
1 may le inferred from "the fact that I saw
1 a smaller one seize, rapture aud destroy
1 an active kttle lemur that dropped by
j accident upon it while watching and
, grinning at me, and in vain endeavored
to escape from its fatal coils. With
Henrick's assistance aud the oouseut of
some of the head men of the Mkodos
(who, however, did not dnre to stay to
witness the act of sacrilege ), I cut down
one of the trace and dissected it care
fully.
A Russian Dance.
They have a peculiar kind of dance,
conducted on the greens of country
villages in Russia. The dancers stand
npart, a knot of ynuug meu here, n knot
of maidens there, each sex by itself, anil
silent as a crowd of mutes. A piper
breaks into a tune, ajyonth pulls off nis
cap, and challenges his girl with a wave
and a bow. If the girl is willing she
waves her handkerchief in token of as
sent, the youth advauoes, takes the cor
ner of his handkerchief in his liaud, and
leads his lady round and round. No
word is spoken and uo laugh is heard.
Stiff with cards and rich with braids, the
girl moves heavily by herself, going
round and round, never allowing
her partner to touch her hand.
The pipes go droning on for hours in
the same sad key and measure ; and the
prize of merit in this " circling," as this
dance is called, is given by the spec
tators to the lassie who, in all that
summer revelry, has never spoken and
never smiled.

place and said : "I would like to look

thirtv years, but never studied up very
clom\v the busmen* of makiug them.
Can I look through your room and see
the outfit ?"
They naiil they had u<> objection, ami
they took him up stair*, or in the rear
part of tlie store,or wherever the wowuig
room may be, ami turn*' lam 10.-*e
among a doaeti pretty girls and a* many
ciutUerinK, rattling maoluues. lie walked
up atnl down the loom viewiug the col
lection of licautiea, they hsiking uj> at
him with sidelong glance* aud wonder
ing what in the world that rather odd
looking stranger wa* doing iu such a
place.
Pnesctitly one of them caught lna
attention, aud he went up to her aud put
his ellkiw on her machine, which brought
his lifs very near to her ear*, and he
aaid to her, iu a tender tout' ;
"Do yon know what I i*ame here
for ?"
" She aaid : " No, indeed, sir, I do
not."
"Then," said he, " I didn't come here
to look at these things. I don't care
anything - alsuit sewiug machine*, and
not much alsiut the jesiple who ruu
them. I name here to find my wife.
Yon look like her. You suit uie. Will
yon marry me ?"
She looked at him very steadilv aud
saw that he had diamond studs, and that
he had hear? rings on his fingers ; that
his clothe* looked very good, and that
he w aa not as homely oa many men whom
she hail seen. So she aaid, after finish
ing the baud on which she was lmsied,
and laving her work a little i>u one side:
" I will marry yon if your references are
good."
He said to her, still iu a tender tone:
" Mv references are So-and-so and !>►-
aiul-so. My name is So-aud-ao, I live
at such n place, and got a divorce three
years ago; have a copy of the decreo
duly certified ; no reason for trouble ou
t hut acconnt.
Then he left, thanking the proprietors
for their courtesy, and telling them he
hn>l found out ail he wanted to know ;
wreiit over to Peter Hand and got a mar
riage license, in which his uamc was
uiisHjM'llcd. Two days afterward he waa
married, the girl having been satisfiisl
with the references,and he is iu>w living,
as was ftatinl above, iu great happiness
at one of the Chicago hotels, rtc is a
picture of devotion : she of wifely love
aud fondness, ami if the Utah divorce
Intsiuoss is iilkilished may remain so.
They hui lus-n mrriel a week when the
clairvoyant noticevl, somehow or some
where,* that her customer lnui got IMM
wife. She opened her eyea rather wide
at this, for a clairvoyant lias uot gener
ally faith enough in what she says to at
tach nny importance to it. But the
thought of her $10,(100 inspiriyl her, and
she went over to see her man, ami said
to him : " Here, you have found your
wife ami married her. Now, I want yon
to carry out your contract and give me
$10,000." Ho said: "Certainly; I ad
mit the debt, lint you will have to wait
until I have sol I my mining property.
The market is not good for it just now.
It don't go off easy ; but it is good, and
when I dispose of it some time you shall
have your SIO,OOO. In tlie meanwhile
here is So on acoonnt." It was not al
together what she wauted, but she took
it and wrcnt away.
ll*lpirt it to Slenl IIIh Own Hopp*.
A queer ease of stealing ia related na
having occurred a few night* since at a
farm situated along the road leading
from Medina, Ohio, to Pike Station. A
man who drove a wagon provided with n
rack for confining rattle while being
tratiajiorted, happened along thia road
aliont ten o'clock at night, and coming
to tho farm of the man, wlioae name
could not be learned, stopped liia horae*
and let tliree fat hog* frotn a pen which
ia located juiit ontaidc the fence. Having
driven them along the road some littlo
distance, he hitched his horse* by tho
roadside and went baek to the farm from
which he had appropriated the porkers,
and aroused trie man of tho houso,
telling him that the end gate of hia
wagon had fallen down, and three hogs
had been lost from the wagon owing to
this circumstance. Being unable to
handle them alone, he asked that some
body from the honse come out and aaaiat
him' in reloading his heavy freight. One
of the good farmer's sons was sent to the
scene of the accident. In tho darkness
of thtj night, and by the united efforts
of the two, the cargo of pork was made
secure in the wagon,and the unfortunate
man drove on bis way rejoicing, with
many thanks for his kind assistance.
The next morning tho farmer rises
usual, goes out to attend to his thriving
porkers, but tlnda an eraptv pen, and
the awful truth flashes upon nim that he
liad been victimized by his unfortunate
friend the night before. And such was
indeed the case, for the missing pigs
never returned, and ere this time have
graced the festive board of many a gor
mandizer. .
