through the woods some ten or fifteen hours when
he opened upon a clearing, wh’.ch had a log house |
in its centre, on which was chalked the words, “,en-

nor his horse had had anything to eat all day, they
both looked the happier at this sign of hospitality.
As hi3 rode up to the cabin he saw a flaxen-headed lit

accosted him with—

Farmer Gray had a neighbor ^who was not the
best tempered man in the world, though mainly
kind and obliging. He was a shoemaker. Ilis
name was Barton. One day in harvest lime, whexi
every hand on the farm was busy as a bee, this man _ . . .
came over to Farmer Gray’s, and said, rather in a Let us then consider him a httlo. and

.Mrs. Gray saw that her husband was right but
still she felt indignant at the outrage committed oa
her geese. She did not, however, say any thing
about sueiffg the shoemaker—for old blindle's head

L)ean Swift proposed to tax female beauty, and to
leave every lady to rate her own charms. lie said
the tax would be cheerfully paid, and ver\' produc-
ears and drove them away when they were eating,
and that he would not have it. Ho wanted me to
yoke them right ofT, but that I could not do, as all
the hands are busy. He then said, shat if I didn’t
take care of themj he would. So I suppose he is
engaged in the neighborly business of taking care
of our geese.”
“John! Wjlliaml run over and see what Mr.
Barton is doing with my geese,” Mrs. Gray said,
in a quick and anxious tone, to two little boys who
wore playing near.
The urchins scampered off, well pleased to per
form anj* errand.
“ Oh, if he has dared to do any thing to my geese,
'I will never forgive him 1” the good wife said an
grily.
H-ii-s-h, Sally! make no rash speeches. It is
more than probable that he has killed some two or
three of them. But never mind if he has. He will
get over his pet, and be sorry for it.”
“Yes; but what good will his being sorry do
me. Will it bring my geese-to life?”
“Ah, well, Sally, never mind. IjCt us wait un
til we learn what all this disturbance is about.”
In about ten minutes, the children came home
bearing the bodies of three geese, cach without a
head.
“Oh. isn’t that too much fur human endurance !”
exclaimed Mrs. Gray. “Wlierc didt you find
them ?”
“ W’e 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 fatiicr that
I bave yoked his geese for him, to save him the
trouble, as his hands are all too busy to do it.”
“I’d sue'him for ill” said Mrs.* Gray in an in
dignant tone.
“ And what good v’ould that do, Sally ?”
“ Why it would do a great deal of good. It
would teach him better manners. It would punish
him; and he deserves punishment.”
“And punish us into the bargain. Vv e have lost
three gccse now, but we still liave their good fat
bodios^to eat. A lawsuit would cost us a good ma
ny geese, and not leave us even so much as the
feathers, besides giving us a world of trouble and
vexation. No, no, Sally—^just let it icst. and he
wiil be sorry for it, I know.”
“ Sorry for it, indeed ! And what good v. ill ins
being sorry for it do us, 1 should Iikc to know |
Next, he will kill a cow, and then we must be sat
isfied with his bemg sotry for it! Now, I can tell
you that I don’t believe any thing about his being
r sorry, the crabbed, ill-natured wretch.”
“ Don’t call hard names, Sally,” farmer Gray^^
said, in a mild, soothing tone. “ Neighbor Barton
was not himself when ho killed the geese. Like
every other angry person, he was a httle insane,
and did what he would not have done had he been
perfectly in his right mind. ^Vhen you are a little
excited you know, Sally, that even you do and say
unreasonable things.”
“Me do and say unreasonable things!” exclaim-
Then you will be revenged on
“ No, Sally—not revenged—^I ho
such feeling. For I am not angry
Barton, w'ho has done himsell a mucH
wrong than he has done me. But I wish him
see clearly how wrong he acted, that he may
no more. And then vve shall not have any
to complain of him, nor he any to be gvi^
am sure he is, at his own hasty cq
while I am talking here, his hogs ar
my corn.”
And so saying, farmer Gray hurried off to
his corn-field. When he Jirrived there, he
four large hogs tearing down the stalks, and
off, and eating the ripe ears of corn. They hi
ready destroyed a good deal. But he dr- ve
out very calmly, and put up the bars througl. ^
they had entered, and then commrnced . ‘K r; *
up the half eaten ears of corn and thrc .
out into the lane for the hogs that had been so sud
denly disturbed in the progress of obtaining a liber-
a meal. As he was thus engaged, M-. Barton,
who had from his own house seen the l.mner turu
the hon^s out of his corn field, came hurriedly up
and said—
I am very sorry, Mr. Gray, indeed I am, that
my hogs have done thisi J wiil most cj^eeiluli^j
pay you for what they have destroyed.’
“ Oh, never mind, Irientl Barton—never mind.
