They were treated al most as family pets, and as they lay on tbe hillside, chewing their cuds, the two boys, Greenleaf and Matthew, used them as armchairs, sitting upon their foreheads and leaaiug against their horns. Old Butler once saved the future poet's life In a way that entitles him 1o everlasting remembrance. The story Is told in Mr. I'lckard's biography. The boy went to the pasture with a bag of salt for the cattle. Old Butler, from the hlllton, saw him coming und scurried down to meet him. It happen ed that the slope whs pretty steep, and the heavy ox acquired such momentum that he found himself unable to stop. A moment more, ami the boy would Inve been crushed. But the ox pulled himself together, leaped straight Into the air, cleared the boy's head, and came to the ground far below with tre mendous force, but happily without barm. In after life Whittier told another story of old Butler. Quaker meetings were sometimes held In the large Whit tier kitchen. n one such occasion, in summer, Old Butler put his head In at tho open window, as If curious to see what ejjuld be going on. A swvet voiced woman happened to he speak ing, and the ox, to all appearance paid strict attention. At ail events, ho stood motionless and silent till she sat down. Then one of the brethren arose. His !oud voice had hardly begun to be heard, however, before the ox withdrew his head, lifted his tail in the air, and went off bellowing. The children, and perhaps some of the irrmvii people, were greatly amused by this bit of bovine 'riticlsm. Hon IH'Inw.

So ho commenced to handle the calves by teaching them to lead, which was soon accomplished. Iu a few davs their heads were tied together and lines at tached.
