FARMER GRAY had a neighbor who was not the best tempered man in the world, though mainly kind and obliging. He was a shoemaker. His name was Berton. One day, in harvest time, when every hand was busy as a bee, this man came over to fanner Gray and said, in rather a petulant tone of voice: "Mr. Gray, I wish you would send over and drive your geese home." "Why - so, lir. Barton, what have my geese been doing ?" the farmer said in a mild, quiet tone. "They get into my garden, and I will not have it." "I am very sorry, neighbor Barton, but what can I do ?" "Why, yoke them, and keep them on your own premises. It is no kind of a way to let your geese run all over every farm and garden in the neighborhood." "But I cannot see to it now; it is har vest time, friend Barton, and every man, woman and child on the farm have as much as they can do. Try and bear it for a week or so, and then I will see if I eon possibly remedy the evil." "I can't bear it, and I won't bear it any longer," the shoemaker said. "So if you do not take care of them, friend Gray, I shall have to take care of them for you." "Well, neighbor Barton, you can do as you please," farmer Gray replied in his usual quiet tone. "I am sorry they trou ble you, but I cannot attend to it now." "I'll attend to them for you, see if I don't," the shoemaker said, still more an grily than when he first called on farmer Gray. "What on earth can be the matter with them geese ?" said Mrs. Gray, about fifteen minutes afterwards. "I really cannot tell, unless neightor Barton is taking care of them. He threat ened to unless I yoked them right off." "Taking care of them ! How taking care of them r" "As to that I am quite in the dark.— Killing them perhaps. He said that if I didn't take care of them he would. So I suppose he is engaged in the neighborly business of taking care of oar geese." "John! William ! Run over and see what Mr. Barton is doing with my geese," Mrs. Gray said in aquick and anxious tone to two little boys who were playing near. The urchins scarapered off, well pleased to perform an errand. "Oh if he has dared to do anything to my geese I will never forgive him !" the good wife said angrily. "H-u-s-h, Sally ! make no rash speeches. It is more than probable that he has killed two or three of theta. But never mind if he has, he will get over his pet and be sorry for it." "Yes, but what good will his being sor ry do mo ? Will it bring my geese to life ?" "Ab, well, Sally, never mind. Let us wait until we hear what all this distnrb anee is about. In about ten minutes the children came home bearing the bodies of three geese each without a head. WITIT "Oh, isn't that too much for human en• durance !" "We found them lying out in the road," said the oldest of the two children. "And when we picked them up, Mr. Barton said, "Tell your father that I have yoked his geese for him, to save him the trouble, as his hands aro too busy to do it." "I'd sue h►im for it !" said Mrs. Gray, in an indignant toga. "And what good would that do ?" 'Why, it would do a great deal of good. It would teach him better manners. It would punish him." "And punish us into the bargain. We have lost three geese now, but we still have their good fat bodies to eat. A lawsuit would cost us a good many geese, and not even leave us so much as the feathers, be sides giving us a world of trouble and vex ation. No, no, Sally, just let it rest, and he will be sorry for it, I know." "Sorry for it, indeed Aud what good will his being sorry for it do us, I should like to know. Next, he will kill a cow, and then we must be satisfied with his be ing sorry for it. Now, I can tell you that I don't believe in that doctrine. Nor do I believe anything about his being sorry, the crabbed, ill-natured wretch l" BUSINESS CARDS, CONCERT TICKETS, LEGAL BLANKS, "Don't call hard names, Sally," farmer Gray said, in a mild, soothing tone.— "Neighbor Barton was not like himself when he killed the geese. Like every oth er angry person he was a little insane, and he did what he would not have done had he been in his right mind. When you are a little excited, you know, Sally, that even you do and say unreasonable things." "Me do and say unreasonable things?" exclaimed Mrs. Gray, with a look and tone of indignant astonishment; "me say and do things when lam angry ? I don't un derstand you, Mr. Gray.' "Maybe I can help you a little. Don't you remember the churn ?" "Yes, but never mind about it." "So you have not forgotten how unrea sonable you were about the churn. It wasn't good for anything—you knew it wasn't; and you'd never put a jar of cream into it as long as you lived—that you wouldn't. And yet, on trial, you found that churn the best you had ever used, and now you wouldn't part with it on any consideration. So you see, Sally, that PAMPHLETS zhe uoto' gem. Midsummer Eve ht ffitorg-Zdlar. BY T. B. ARTHUR, HUNTING-DON, PA., WEDNESDAY, JUNE 4, 1873 even you can say and do unreasonable things when you are angry, just as well as Mr. Barton." Mrs. Gray saw that her husband was right—but still she felt indignant at the outrage committed on her geese. So she took her three tit geese, and after strip ping off the feathers, had then: prepared for the table. On the neat morning ; as Mr. Gray was pa;sing along the road, he met the silo.- maker, and is they had to pa-s very near to each other. the term. r and spike kindly. Mr. Barton la4ikcd and felt very uneasy, but fariner'Gray did nut seem to remember the unpleasant incident of the day before. It was about. eleven o'clock on the same day, that one of farmer Gray's little boys came running to him and crying : "Oh, father ! father ! Mr. Barton's hogs are in our cornfield." "Then I must go and drive them out," said Mr. Gray in a quiet tone. "Drive them out," ejaculated Mrs. Gray. "Drive 'em out, indeed ! I'd shoot them, that's what I'd do ! I'd serve him as he served my geese yesterday!" • "But that wouldn't bring the geese to life again, Sally." "I don't care if it wouldn't. It would be paying him in his own coin, and that's what he deserves." "You know what the Bible says, Sally, about grievous words, and they apply with stronger force to grievous actions. No— no—l will return neighbor Barton good for evil. That is the best way. He has done wrong, and I am sure he is sorry for it. And as I wish him to remain sorry for so unkind and unneighborly an action, I intend making use of the best means for keeping him sorry. "Then you will be revenged on him, anyhow ?" "No, Sally—not revenged. I am not angry with neighbor Barton. But while I am talking here, his hogs are destroying my corn." And so saying, farmer Gray hurried off towards his cornfield. When he arrived there, he found four large hogs tearing down the stalks, and pulling off and eating the ripeniog ears of corn. They had already destroyed a good deal. But he drove them out very calmly, and put up the bars through which they entered, and then commenced gathering up the half-eaten ears of corn, throwing them out into the lane for the bogs that had been so sudden ly disturbed in the process of obtaining a liberal meal. As ho was thus engaged, Barton, who had from his own house seen the farmer turn the hoes out of his cornfield, came hurriedly up, and said : "I am very sorry, Mr. Gray, indeed I am, that my hogs have done this ! I will most cheerfully pay you for what they have destroyed." "Oh, never mind, friend Barton—never mind. Such things will happen occasion ally. My geese you know, annoy yon very much sometimes." "Don't speak of it, Mr. Gray. They didn't annoy me so much as I imagined they did. But how much -corn do you think my hogs have destroyed ? One bush el, or two bushels ? Or how mush ? Let it be estimated, and I will pay you most cheerfully. "No, no. Not for the world, friend Bar ton such things will happen sometimes. And, besides, some of my men must have left the bars down, or your hogs never could have got in. So don't think any more about it. It would be dreadful if one neighbor could not bear a little with another." All this cut poor Mr. Barton to the heart. His own ill-natured language and con duct, at a smaller trespass on his rights, presented itself to hii mind, and deeply mortified him. After a few moment's si lence, he said : "The faot is, Mr. Gray, I shall feel bet ter if you will let me pay for this corn. My hogs should not be fattened at your ex pense, and I will not consent to its being dope. Sp shall insist on paying you for at least one bushel of corn ; for I am sure they have destroyed that much if not more." But Mr. Gray shook his head smiling pleasantly, as he replied "Don't think anything more about it, neighbor Barton. It is a matter deserv ing of no consideration. No doubt my cattle have often trespassed on you, and will trespass on you again. Let is, then, bear and forbear.' 411 this cut the shoemaker still deeper, and he felt still less at easo in mind after he parted from the farmer, than he did be fore. "You told him your mind very p`ainly, I hope," said Mrs. Gray, as her hwband returned." "I certainly did," was his reply. "I am glad you did. I hope he will think twice before he kills any more of my geese." "I expect you are right, Sally. I doet think we shall be troubled again." "What did you say to him ? And wit% did he say for himself?" "Why, he wanted very much to pay me for the corn his pigs had eaten, but wouldn't hear to it. I told him that it made no difference in the world. That such accidents would happen sometimes." "Yon did ?" "Certainly, I did." "And that's the way you spoke your mind to him ?" "Precisely, And it had the desired effect. It made him feel ten times worse than if I had spoke angrily to him." "Well pprhapsyouareright," Mrs. Gray said, after a few moments' thoughtful si lence. "I like Mrs. Barton very much— and now I come to think of it, Ishould not wish to have any difference between our families." "And so do I like Mr. Barton. He has read the Chataqua Farmer a good deal and derived instruction from its entertaining columns, and I find it very pleasant to sit with him occasionally, during the long winter evenings. his only fault is his quick temper—but lam sure it is much better for us to bear with, and soothe that, than to impose and excite it, aucksk§ keep both his family and out_:_sifir - in hot water." "You are oertaibry - right," Mrs. Gray said, "and I enTy wish that I could always think mya feel as you do. But I ate a little quick, as they say." "And so is Mr. Barton. Now just the same consideration that you would desire others to have for you, you should exercise towards Mr. Barton or any one else whose hasty temper leads him unto words or ac tions that in calmer or more thoughtful moments are subjects of regret." On the next day, while Mr. Gray stood in his door, from which he could see all over the two or three acres of ground that the shoemaker cultivated, he observed two of his own cows in his neighbor's cornfield browsing away in quiet a contented man- ner. As he was going to call one of the farm hands to drive them out, he:perceived that Mr. Barton had. become acquainted with the mischief that was ovin. b on, and had already started for the field of corn. ow we will see the effect of yesterday's lesstut." the farmer said to himself and then paused to observe the manner of the shoe maker towards his cattle in driving them out of the field. In a few minutes Mr. Barttoi came up to the cows—but instead of throwing stones at them, or striking them with a stick, he merely drove them out in u quiet way, and put up the bars throuzh which they entered. Alter this, there was no more trouble about farmer Gray's geese or cattle. Some times the geese would get among Mr. Barton's hogs, and annoy them while eat ing, but did not worry him as it did for merly. If they became too troublesome, he would drive them away, but not, by throwing sticks and stones at them as he once did. Late in the fall the shoemaker brought in his bill, for work. It was a pretty large bill, with sundry credits. "Pay day has come at last," farmer Gray said good humoredly, as the shoemaker presented his account. "Well, let us see !" and he took the bill to examine It, item for item. "What is this ?" he asked reading aloud the credit for a bushel of corn. "It is some corn I had from you." "I reckon yon must bo mistaken. Yon never got any corn from me." "Oh, yes; I remember it perfectly well. It is all right." "But when did you get it, friend Barton ? I am sure that I have not the most distant recollection of it." "My hoas got it," the shoemaker said, in a slow hesitating tone. "Your bogs ?" "Yes. Don't you remember when my bogs broke into your field and destroyed your corn ?" "0, dear—is that it ? Oh no, no, friend Barton ; I cannot allow that item in the bill." "Ye.;, but you must. It is perfectly just, and I shall never rest until it is paid.' I can't indeed. You couldn't help your hogs getting into my field; and then you know, friend Barton, (lowerin g his tone) you know my geese were very troublesome The shoemaker blushed and looked con fused, but farmer Gray slapped him fa miliarly on the shoulder, and said in a lively cheerful way— . . . "Don't think anlthing wore about it, friend Barton ! And hereafter let us en deavor to do as we would be done by, and then everything will go smooth as clock work." "But you will allow that item in this hill?" tho shoemaker urged persevorigg7 "Op, no, I couldn't do that. I should think it wrong to make you pay fur my own, or some of my men's negligence in leaving the bars down.", 'l3l - it then (hesitating), those geese. I killed three. : Let it go fur thew." "If yon did kill them, wo ate them—so it is even, No, no—let the past he for gotten, and if it makes better friends and neighbors of us, we need never regret what has happened. Farmer Gray remained firm,and the bill was settled, omitting the item of "corn." From that time forth, he had never a bet ter neighbor than the shoemaker. Tne cows and hogs and geese of both would occasionally trespass, but the trespassers were kindly removed. The lesson was not lost on either of them, for even farmer Gray used to feel sometimes a little annoy ed when his neighbor's cattle broke into his fields. But in teaching the shoemaker a lesson, he bad taken a little of it himself. palm fin Mt J; The Great Cyclone, Graphic .Petails,--.4. Land of Desolation— Strange Incidents of the Storm—Loss of Life and Properly. The Chicago Tribune's special dispatches from Washington, lowa, give full details of the terrible cyclone, which swept over a portion of Washington and Keokuk counties, on the 22d ult. In the line of the storm everything, except here and there a mile or two, over which the whirl wind seems to have jumped, is desolate looking. Scarcely a house, barn, shed or granary is left. All were swept away as clean as the fire wiped out the north aide of Chicago. The exact starting point of the storm is not known, but is believed to have been in Keokuk county, a few miles west of Lancaster, which town, it is said, is totally demolished. It advanced iu a northeasterly direction, passing north of Tallyrand, about three miles south of Keota, through the Gennep settlement called Baden, approaching the line of Washing ton county, where it jumped a district of about eight miles, alighting again about six miles northwest of Washington, en the farm of Frank Brown. Remaining.on the ground for six or eight miles, it passed up to Highland township. Leaving the earth were it struck again in the middle of the tuctiship, where its force was spent, and it 6sappeired as suddenly as it appeared. A reporter of the Tribune took a ride over the route of the hurricane a day or so afterward, and was astonished at the ruir wrought in an hour or two. The first farm visited was that of John C. Cunningham, which is about seven miles northeast of Washington. Neither the home nor barn was visible. They had bees torn to pieces, aid only a few frag ments remained, nearly d.l of the timber hav'ng been blown away. Pieces of bow& were sticking out of the fields, some of them imbedded in the ground two feet. ands° tightly that they couldnt bepulled out Dead stock was visible everywhere, hones, cows, pigs aud chickens ; hertand there were pigs impaled to the gromd, whle frequently chickens were encounter with feathers oil them. 'i-VREE HUNDRED HEAD OF STOCK were killed mitriiht. In the dwelling, When the tornado approached, were Mrs. McCoy, daughter of Mr. Cunningham, Carringe, and two children of the for mer. They went into the cellar for shel ter, but remained there only a short time, bebg lifted up and carried some distance ant thrown to theg round. Mrs. M'Coy hal her head out, and was badly bruised. Me. Carringe was rendered insensible, buy was not seriously hurt. The children wav uninjured. They were found lying ins heap beside the cellar walls. East of Cunningham's near the High laid township line, is the farm of Mr. Dividson. His house and barn wore de etioyed and he himself killed. 'Janssen, wlo was with him at the time, was fatally inured and died on Friday morning. All ofthe latter's clothing was torn off his body. North from Cunningham's is the farm of John Babcock. His residence, barns, out houses and granaries, were demolished. His family were fortunately absent, and he himself escaped uninjured. The apple orchard, one of the finest in the country, is now without trees. They were torn up by the roots and hurried along. A grove of honey locusts was also carried away. Trees eighteen inches thick were snapped as clay pipes can be. Some of the stumps remaining look as if a saw had been used, so smooth and clear was the break. The next farm was that of Lavid Ca. neer. Here was the same desolation as at the other places, only lees building mate rial was observable. Of the houses, barns and sheds scarcely a vestige was left. Mr. and Mrs. Caneer and Alexander Gillison, a neighbor, were in the house, and sought shelter in the cellar, and escaped with slight injuries. A short distance from Caneer's stood the district school house, which shared the fate of all others in THE PATH OF THE CYCLONE. Miss Smith, the teacher, and twenty pupils were in the school house when the storm struck it and carried it away, leaving them lin the roadway, with the exception of a daughter of Henry Rathmel, aged eleven, who was taken up by the wind and carried a quarter of a mile, where her mangled and nearly nude body was afterward found. Miss Smith and six of her scholars were injured, some of them seriously. One very singular thing is that the mud was blown so hard into the faces of many of the children that it cannot ho washed off. Some of their faces look as if they bad been tatooed with Indian ink or powder. Near the school house stood the dwelling of Henry Walters. It was blown to atoms and Mrs. Walters instantly killed. When found she had one of her twin children in her arms. The little fellow was bruised and cut., and died the following morning. The other one escaped, none can tell how. Three other children of Mr. Walters were in the school house and very seriously (two it is thought fatally) injured. A quarter of a mile south of the school house is the farm of Alexander Gibson. None of the buildings are standing. His house was the finest in that part of the country, and everything about his place was of the best, All his orchards are valueless, his farming implements are gone and his stock dead. Sixty fat steers, some of them weighing 1,400 pounds each, were carried off by the wind and carried twenty rods into a slough. None of the occupants of the house, seven in number, were killed, but several of them were se riously injured. The houses of Thomas Walters, William Caidwel and George Gilchrist, were all de molisebd. At Walter's house, Mrs. Wal ters, the grand mother of the owner, was fatally injured by a flying boaid. A man named Baker was driving a team of mules attached to a wagon along a road, and ob serving the cloud, jumped from his wagon and took shelter alongside of a hedge fence. The wind struck both him and the team with full force, and carried man, mules and wagon into the adjacent fields. Baker says he went THROUGH THE AIR LIKE LIGHTNING for about a quarter of a mile. The cyclone came within twenty feet of James K. Mar%routes house, but it did no injury. His corn-crib and out houses were demolished, the wind passing between the house and barn, scarcely touching the lat ter. There was very little hail in Washing ton, but specimens were exhibited here which were brought from beyond Keota and near Lancaster. One piece weighed seven ounces, and was nine inches in cir cumference. Several pieces still larger than this, are said to have been picked up. Among the marvelous stories related is one that a flock of sheep, one hundred and fifty in number, were graziug in a field when the cyclone approached. Instinc tively the poor animals huddled closely to gether, as if for mutual protection. The storm swooped down upon them, and bore them into the air, where, as an eye witness says, they looked like a fleck of immense birds whirling around and around. They were thus swept along a distance of half a mile, when they struck the earth. All but forty of them were mangled and torn ac tually into fragments and scattered along the path of the storm. Very little definite information has been received of the extent of the damage to property and loss of life in Keokuk caan ty, but it is known that five persons. ors. Campbell, Mrs. Endinger and.. child, a child of Peter March, and a .-child of Mi chael Tuch—were killed, and ten other adults and children Wired. The aggre• gate loss of property is variously estimated at from one hundred thousand to two hun dred thousand dollars, but probably eighty thousand dollars will cover the loss. Let Us Help One Another., This little sentence should be written on ever/ heart and stamped on every memcey. It should be the golden rule practised not only in every household, but throughout the world. By helping one another we not only remove thorns from the pathway and anxiety from the mind, but we feel a sense of pleasure in our own hearts, knowing we are doing a duty to a fellow-creature.

NO. 23. The Stampede. Do you like horses ? Well, so do I ; But I look out, though, When a storm is nigh ; They lose their wits, And are crazy then; I suppose it's because They are so like men. Did you ever see 'ern Ont on the Plains Capture a mustang 1 It's worth your pains ; You throw for the bead, And catch the same ; Then blow in his nostrils— The creature is tame I But about being seared ? I was going to say That horses in storms Is no child's play ; Old trappers know it ; And fight 'em shy, When thunder begins To growl in the sky. I was riding once, When a tempest came ; The sky and the earth Was a sheet of flame ; Sly good horse trembled In every limb ; 'Twas enough for me— Too much for him ! I gave him the spur, And dropped the rein ; I don't care to take That ride again! l'hew !—how he flew, Ontrun:sing the wind— Till I suddenly felt There was something behind ! I turned in my saddle, And saw by the glare Of the blinding lightning That something was there ! A herd of wild horses, Maddened with fear, Were coming upon us— Were close in our rear ! I wheeled my horse round, I hardly knew why,— Pulled him up, and waited The death that was nigh ! What mad tossing manes— What light in their eyes— What plunges,—what swiftness— What terrible cries ! I rose in my stirrups, And gave a wild yell ; Picked out the head stallion, Fired—and he fell I They parted,—went round us, We escaped ! Indeed ? But I made up my mind— No more stampede ! —The Aldine for June.

If the hands be hollow, solid and well knit in the joints, it predicts long life; but if ever thwartcd, then it denotes short life. Observe the finger of Mercury—that is the little finger ; if the end of it exceeds the joint of the third finger, such a man will rule his house, and his wife will be pleasing and obedient to him; but if it be short, and does not reach the joint, he will will have a shrew and she will be boss.

"Ts Mr. Franklin at home ?" -Tes, he is in the printing office." "I want to see him." The shop-boy immediately informed Mr. Franklin that a gentleman was in the store waiting to see him. Franklin was soon behind the counter, when the loun ger, book in hand, addressed him thus— " Mr. Franklin, what is the lowest you can take for that book ?" "One dollar and a quarter ! Why your young man only asked me one dollar." "True," said Franklin, "and I could have better afforded to have taken a dol lar then than t 3 have been taken out of the office," The lounger seemed surprised, and wishing to end the parley of his own making, said— " Come, Mr. Franklin, tell me what is tho lowest you can take for it ?" "One dollar and a half." "A dollar and a half! Why, you offer ed it yourself for a dollar and a quarter."
