Th' Oiled Feather is: n Ltory that has
done great good, and w(11 ao inOro. ,
:The. heroes are two neighbors, named
Joseph Irons and Samuel Parsons. ~Jos
eph Irons went by • lie name of "Rusty
Joe," and ; Samuel Parsons by that of
"Polished Sam." Tho,natues were char
acteristic of 'the men, Joseph 401111 being
a short, tztrt kind of than in his dealings
with his fellow•olvatitie:4:; and Samuel
Parsons being, on the f otber hand, genial
and civil. Joseph Irons "wouldn't put
his hand to his bat for any nian,," nothe
wouldn't waste his time with palpering
Veople with fine no, not . he! "if
folks didn't like this goods, they
.might
leave them," and " . if iherdidnik like his
answers they neeiyt mk t him any ques
tions in tv word, qlti4y Joe," ti)ougb
very holiest, and very decent-living, was,
disliked by almost everybody ; and in
trittli no one could be surprised.
On the other band, Samuel Parsons was
a general favorite, Ile bad a salute for
everyone that came in the wily; he didn't
think himself at bjt the worse man be ,
cause he put ills hand to his .bat to the
parson and the squire, as Well as bobbed
to the old-apple woman atthe - corner of
the street. As to civil words, Sam's
theory wi t s that they were a l little trouble
to spenk - ns s.ndf ones ; Jim} they certain
jy slipped more pleasant -like out of one',B
mouth;, and -so
_it. eamo to pass •that
everyilili;iiked Bain Parsons.
Noll, we will' ace-how "Rusty Joe" and
s.— ' ,
"Polish'ed Sam's . got through ono day of
•
theji existence. ctie day will he enough
for our I)urpose.
"Come, bring tile oil desk, there's
pet," said Samuel Prirsent to 'his wife, us
he finished ,Icrewing ou n new lock to hie
front door. Sam, of course, needn't
have said "there's a Alt," unless he
liked ; -bat ho used to think it wasp. great'
shame 911) 1 t Vi omen, 'were called all sorts
of pretty names 'before they were mar
ried, but none afterward; "I sits'," says
Sant, "ninny of the poor creatures are
cheated with them - there pretty names ;
poor fulk I they think they'll always got
them : but they become - mighty :ware('
aftel• they have lingered the ring." We
don't mean to toll all the HOMO :hint
coned his wife before,they were married;
but now ho called her "pet ;" and ns soon
as she heard the loving word, she' threw
down her duster on the chair, and sped
off to the kitchen for- the flask. The
flask had a feather in it, ns such flasks
generally have ; taking the
feather 'between his fbredlger and thuinb,
oiled the key of the street door right well,
and then locked and unlocked it a dozen
times. At first it went stiff, and required
some strength of wrist to turn it ; but as
It was worked to and fro, and the oil be
gan to Make its.Wny into the wards, it
worked more and more easily, until at
last Stun pronounced that it would do.
Now on this - very morning, "Rutity,
;Too" was going to market. Ho had neg.
lected to grease his boots after last mar
ket•day, which had been very wet; and
now, when he went to put them on, they
went on so hard and stiff that ho pulled
and kicked and stamped, till, heated and
vexed, he got them on. Nothing was
right that morning at breakfast. The eggs
were too hard and the bread too soft ; the
bacon dish was too hot land the teapot
was too cold.
When Joseph Irons had bolted down
is breakras t; he got up and went to the
street. door to go. out; Mit no 10ing
word did ho speak to his Wife Betty. I
"Mind you have my shirt finished to•
night," said Joe Irons, as he laid his
hand on the street door, "for I have got
to go to Nihau]; to morrow, and don't
want to go to the Squire's in this old con
cern ;!' and, with this direction to his
