How H« Dad Him.
A man named Wells kept a tavern in one
of our western villages; but tlftagh his
bouse had a very good name, it , wae more
than he had himself; for it-wae snPmisod'b'y
hie neighbors' that he used a great deal of
fodder, corn,■etc., for which ho never gave an
equivalent, though it -never had. been clearly
proved upon him. , ...
Early'ono morning, he urns met bjr an no-,
qpaintnnbe named Wilkee. as he was driving
'before him a heifer, which**ho had most prob
ably borrowed from .some farmer.
‘ Hallo Wells I where did yon get the heif
er I’cried Wilkes.
‘ Bought her of 001. Steyens,’ Was the un
hositating reply.: .. . - i •
‘ What did you pay for her V # •
’ Twenty'dollars,’ said Wells, oAhe hurried
on.' : .'
. , About an hour afterwards, as WilkesVwoß
sitting in Wells’ bar-boom,;Ool. Steven’s en
tered. After a few minutes’ conversation,
’Wilkes said: ’ “ , , i
‘ A. fiho animal that you sold Welles-1’
don’t understand youl h&ver sold
Wells any animal.’ i
‘ Didn’t you f .Why, I met him this morn
ing with a heifer,"which he Said he boaght of
. : you fdt'twenty dollars;'’
■ ‘ lie did, 'oh-f Well 'sißCe fiosaid so, ho has
got to pay me'lor her,’said'Colonel Stevens.
. y Wells entered soon after, and Stevens,step-,
1 ping a'p to him,’saitlh ' ‘ '
; :’.'Come, Wells, I’ll trouble yoh'lbr the inon
ey.for; that heifer J dt was ia'cash'bargain,
you. know,?’ . ~ ,: .. !
' ‘I never bought any heifer from you.’
" ‘ Don’t you remember you bought one; of
mo for”twenty dollars-? Herb’s Wilkea cau.
.proveit.’* h,' ~
‘ No he,can’t,’said Wells'.
‘ You told me so this morning,’ said
Wilkes. ;
:,A curious expression -passed o'vei; Wells’
either
to tell where he got. the animal, or lose -twen
ty'dollapa ; and-thinking it pot sale for .him
to do-'the first, he pulled 1 opt his' wallet,
counted out the money, and handod it'to'Sto
yens, saying— . -
‘So l did- -so_l did. I had forgotten -all

i BEATfI IN THE WALL'
The 'People’s Journal of Health haa an ar
ticle with this Tearful title, which is an at
taek on wall paper,, Th# writer says:
‘A good olean paper la. certainly more
pleasant to Jho eye than a fissured and anmt
ty wall, whose scales of limokre coPtinually
peeling off and sailing every garment that
'homosi in contact wi’Di it, And if.,-a proper
seleotipq of paper is made, and thpro be no
other lining of similar stuff beneath, it is not
only more pleasant to the sense, 'but it.is,al
most equal to the whitened wall. But here
is the difficulty. As a general-rule, one coat
Qf paper is put on over another, as the last
gots too much soiled to look well, until sor
ters! layers' cover the originol, surface, thup
often. produoing an actual cause of disease.
‘.A few years since we occupied a house
’built -some twenty years before, in the old
English style, strqng and solid, po that it
soemed almost as good hs, or better even
than pew.' We were gravely told that one
room'in it bad seemed to'he fatal to its occu
pants;.hence for Several-years it had'stood,
vacant. One of {heifirstthings'that received
attention was this ili-raputed apartment. .It
was a north room' so situated that a few rays,
of sunlight peered into n'hbrner of "it for a
short time only a portion of the year, entire
ly -avoiding it -for months, together. Weil,
here surely was , one cause of its unhealth
fulness, but not enough. After tbo cobwebs
.were duly brushed out we searched farther.
"A good-sized fire-place and two.large win*

.was evident. .Nothing -
