. niTTixn A cow. Deacon Smith's wagon stopped one morning before Widow Jones' door, and he gate the usual country lien that he wanted something in the house by dropping the reins and sit ting double with his elbows on his knees. Out tripped the widow, lively as a cricket, with a tremendous black ribbon on her snow-white cap. "Good morning" was said an both sides, and the widow, waited for what was fur ther to be said. "Well, Ma'am Jones, perhaps jou don't want to sell one of your cows now for nothing, anyway, do you" - "Well, there,-Mister Smith, you couldn't have spoken my mind better. A poor lone woman like me does not know what to do with so many cret urs and should be glad to taade if we can fix it." So the adjourned to the meadow. Deacon Smith looked at roan then at the widow at Brindle then at the widow at the Downing cow then at the widow and so through the whole fowij. The same call was made every day for a week, but the deaoon could net decide which cow he wanted. At length on Saturday, when the Widow Jones was in a hurry to get through her baking for Sunday and had "ever so much to do in the house," as all farmers' wives and wid ows have oa Saturday she was a lit tle impatient. Deacon Smith was as irresolute as ever. "That 'ere Downing cow Is a pretty cretur," said he, "but" he stopped to glance at the widow's face, and then walked around her not the widow but the cow. "The Downing cow I knew before the late Mr. Jones bought her." Here he sighed at the illusion te the late Mr. Jones; she sighed, and both looked at each other. It was a highly interesting moment. ''Old Roan is a faithful old milch, and so is Brindle but I have known better." A long stare succeeded his peech the pause was getting awk wardand at last Mrs. Jones broke out: "Law! Mr. Smith, if I'm the cow yoa want, do say to I The intentions ef the deacon and the widow were published next day.
