A. Good Hog Story.

7110 M Donn I'intt's curious article
" About How," ill Jnninrott'
Magazine 1'or April, we tukc the fullow-
ng original hog story :
I once witnessed a fight between a po
ny and a boar, in which both sides exhib
ited a good deal of that natural art of
war to which Mr. Corwin referred as
blessing the many militia colonels of Con
gress. 1 lind ridden homo one afternoon
upon my little sturdy Tough Dick, and,
turning hiin loose in the stublc lot, pour
ed upon the ground a quantity of corn to
serve him as dinner. Upon this, a huge
boar, nearly as large and quite as heavy
as the pony, trotted up, unbidden, to take
part in the repast. Tough Dick, not lik
ing tuc company nor the loss of his pro
vender, bit the ling, who, in return threw
up his tusk, catching the pony's nostril
upon the point, inflicting; an ugly little
wound. (Juick as thought almost, the
pony wheeled and planted his two ironed
heels upon the boar.s side. The blow
sounded like that of a flail, rolling the
hog over. iNothing daunted he regained
his legs and again made at the little horse.
The plucky creature was ready for him,
and sent the hog rolling. This second
charge seemed to give the boar a reali
zing sense of the inequality of such a
contest. Regaining his ieet again, he
trotted some paces away and stood contem
plating his foe from under his long ears.
runting and snapping his jaws in wrath
and disgust. Tough Dick, with his cars
drawn back, eyed his antagonist as if ex
pecting a renewal of the conflict. After
some seconds the boar began walking in
a circle about the pony, lie kept beyond
the reach of his heels, and would at times
walk and at times trot; and all the while
Tough Dick kept his eyes on and his
heels toward the foe. II113 continued
for some time, and might have ended in
the hog's retreat, but the pony was hun
gry and aggravated at the interruption of
his meal in an unhappy moment he at
tempted to take a mouthful of corn. The
boar, seizing the advantage, rushed 111
Escaping the heel, he charged in under
the belly of the pony, and would have
inf icte 1 an ugly wound with his tusks
but the force of his attack carried luni
beyond the point of danger and before he
could escape the wicked pony had him by
the ear precisely as a dog would have
caught him. The boar squealed dismally
and began turning so as to bring his
tusks under the throat or jaw of the ene
my. Mowly but steadily he swung around
suffering intense torture in the twisting
given his unhappy car. luuding the
boar likely to gain his point, the pony
suddenly released the car. The two had
been pulling with their entire weight
against each other, and the unexpected
release staggered the hog, and ere he
could recover a well directed kick rolled
him over. I thought him killed ; but ho
slowly recovered, and, raising to his feet
staggered away, pausing at times to shake
his ugly head, as it wondering how it all
came about.
Ey A servant girl who was sent a day
or two ago to a druggist in New York
with a rcnucst that he would give her
some castor-oil, " disguised as much as
much as possible, was asked bv the dm

in the affirmative. The dru2rist thereu-
on
pon gave her a glass BtroDgly flavored
wun lemon, with much oil cast upon the
troubled water. Noticing that she linger
ed after receiving this, the dru??ist in
quired the cause, and was told that she was
waiting lor the oil. Uh, replied the man
of drugs complacently, "you have taken
that." The startled woman gazed at him
in dismay a moment and then exclaimed
'Oh, murder, I wanted it for a man who
is very sick.

Breaking it Easy.
When t he lamented Judge Daglcy
tripped and lell down the court-house
stairs and 1 iroke his neck, it was a great
question how to break the news to poor
Mrs. Dag ley. Dut finally the body was
put into lhggin s wagon, and he was in
structed to take it to Mrs. B., but to be
very guar dad and discreet in his language
and not to break the news to her at once
but do it gradually and gently. YVhcn
Iliggins j;ot there with his sad freight,
he shouted sill Mrs. Bagley came to the
door. J. lieu he said :
' Does th e widdcr Bagley live here ?"
" 1 ho viu tow Bagley ! No sir.
" I'll bet she docs. . But have it your
own way. w en, docs J udge Jiagley live

"Yes, Judge Bagley lives here."
" I'll bet he don't. But never mind,
it ain't for me to contradict. Is the
judge in?"
" No, not at present."
"I jest tixpected as much. Because
you know take hold o' suthin, mum, for

and reckon maybe it'll jar you some.
There's Leen an accident, mum. I've

about the only thing that could be a com
fort to him.."

A Good Story.
Once upon a time thcro lived among
the' hills of an adjoining country nil old
gentleman, whose entire personal and real
estate consisted of a wife, a well ventila
ted log cabin, half an acre of not very
productive land, and a violent fondness
for what is somettonciJ called " tangled'
whiskey. One spring morning the own
er of all this property was Btruek with
conviction that his laud must be plowed.
But he had no horse, and found it im
possible to borrow one. Nevertheless the
ground must bo broken up, horse or no
horse, and it was finally determined that
the " old woman" should hitch up the
old man, and hold the handle and drive,
while lie drew the plow, lluswus accor
dingly done, and the plow went bravely
on, until the plowshare ran under a root
and the team was brought to a dead halt.
But the " critter" had become warmed
up by this time, land as the old lady gave
him a rap with the reins and cried " git
up there !" he threw his weight upon the
harncsswith a heavy jerk, which snapped
the traces off short, and he shot forward
against the fence, his head striking the
end of a rail with the force of a mule.
" Thunderation old woman !" he exclaim
ed, as he wiped the blood and dirt from
his eyes, " why didn't you say w-h-o-a f"
Too old and Lame.
The Rev. E. L thad an old parish
ioner and communicant whom he had
been visiting during a short illness. At
last the medical attendant called and
informed Mr. L 1 hat the old uian
was dying: whereupon he immediately
went to him to administer the sacrament;
after which he told the old man's wife
that her husband would not live long,
and if there was anything she wished to
say to him she had better do it while he
was able to understand her. She imme
diately went to his beside and said :
"John, Mr. L 1 says you are going
to die. I wish, when you get to Heaven
you'd look out for my first husband, and
tell him I've been doin' pretty well sin'
ho left mo, an' I often wish I might see
him again."
The old man turned his eyes upon his
wife. With deprecating expression, and
raising himself a little, he replied;
" Lord help thee, Mary, how docst thec
think that, owd and la'am as I bo I can
go rounging all over Heaven to find thy
first husband 1"
Old Ctcsar aud the Angel.
There used to be a pious old negro in
Boston named Caesar, and ho was in the
habit of praying so loudly as to be heard
by many of the neighbors. On retiring
for the night his petition invariably was:
" Lord send dy angel for ole Caesar, ole
Caesar always ready." One evening two
of his neighbors, good men but sometimes
bored by his "style," thought they
would try him on. They took position
at his door and when the usual petition
was made that the " Lord would scird the
angel, ole Caesar being always ready,"
they knocked loudly at the door.
" Who dar!" said the old darkey.
" The angel of the Lord, come for old
Caesar." was the renlv.

.Out went the light, a scrambling into
bed was heard, and then, in trembling
voice, that same old uncle said y " Go way

" Because I'm so happy, mister."

" It don't look very new. What is it

" Why, 'tis new, 'cause mam made it

" And what was dad's old' un made of?"
"Why, one of granny's old sheets,

JB" A young lady of eighteen was en
gaged to be married to a gentleman of
thirty-six. Her mother having noticed
her low spirits for some time, inquired
the reason. " Oh dear, mamma," replied
the young lady, " I was thinking about
my husband being twice my ago." " That's
very true; but he's ouly thirty-six."

SUNDAY BEADING.
Have yon pulled up the Anchor!
Wc have heard a storv of two drunken
sailors who had to cross a Scotch frith nt,
night. I bey leaped into the boat, and
pulled away at the oars with all their
might; they pulled and pulled, and won
dered they did not reach the shore. In
their maudlin state they thought the tide
was ct against them, and so, in a wild
lashion, tbey tot k spe.ls of pulling, but
no shore did they reach. Great was
their astonishment; for the frith was
narrow, antf a quarter of an hour should
have seen them at the opposite beach.
" Surely," they said. " the boat is be
witched, or wc." The night wore on,
and the morning light explained the mys
tery to tncir sober eyes. " YVliy, Sandy,
111011, we never pulled up the anchor!"
Just so ; and thus, tug as they might,
they labored in vain.
Many and many a sinner has been in
like case. lie has tried to believe, always
a strange thing to do, but all his trying
has come to nothing; peace has been as
far off as ever. The means of grace have
been unavailing, prayer has brought, no
answer of joy, the man has been ready to
de-pair, and blamed fate and the devil,
and a thousand other things. Meanwhile
the real cause of the soul's long delay has
been unnoticed ; the heart has never real
ly loosed its hold of its self-righteous
hopes never fairly pulled up the anchor
and trusted itself to Jesus. Reader, how
is it with you ? Have you heaved the
anchor? Have you done with self? If
not, all your efforts are idle, all your
prayers and tears are fruitless, and you
see clearly that they must be so. Man
up with the anchor ! Let go every trust
but Jesus', and you will soon bo at the
desired haven.
Not in Human Nature.
An estimable lady, a personal and be
loved friend of mine, said to me, when
urged to forgive injuries, " it is not in hu
man nature to forgive injuries as goading
as these." You arc right, my friend, I re
plied it is not in human nature; but it is
in the grace of Christ. He has charged
us: "Love your enemies; bless them,
that curse you ; and pray for them which
despitefully use you and persecute you ;
that ye may be the children of our Father
which is in heaven." The lady had a
long struggle with herself, but though
the grace of Christ overcame. Sho for
gave from the heart, and was a happier
woman, and a more exemplary Christian
ever after. These are high Christian
virtues. They are not imaginary, nor
are they beyond Christian attainment.
JBST The old city of Troy had but one
gate. Go round and round the city, and
you could find no other. If you wanted
to get in, there was bnt one way, and no
other. So to the strong and beautiful
city of Heaven there is one gate and no
other. Do you know what it is? Christ
says, " I am the Door."
He that cannot be useful on great
occasions, may die without exerting his
abilities, and stand a helpless spectator of
a thousand vexations which fret away
happiness, and which nothing is requir
ed to remove but a little dexterity of con
duct aud readiness of expedients.
