AThlttlrr and the Ox.
When Wbittlrr w as a ohllil bis father
bad a pair of oxen named "Buck" and
"Old Butler." 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.

How a brainy and ingenious boy
trained and made a good heifer team
for himself is told by tho lad's father,

"My boy, Fred L. Houston, was
reared on the farm, nud early took a
liking to horses and young stock. At
ten years of ago he was oapablo of
driving the farm team, and did part
of tho mowing. That spring Le raised
two line heifer calves, and when they
were one year old Fred thought ho
would have a team of his own. 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. "The little team soon became so
interesting and attractive that I was
culled on to make a yoke. Th i next
day tho team were hitched to a box,
and in a short time Fred could be
seen going up and down the road as
happy as though they were Humble
totiians. Wheu two years oil a
harness and cart w i re furnished, as
one was broken single as well as
double, and the steers as he called
Iheni, were often hitched to do light
work, such as l iking the plough and
harrow to the ticld, drawing line

years old, and wiie tine milkers. Lit

friend of his who bad a novel method
of taking exercise. His workshop was
on the top floor of his house, far from
the noise of the street, and he used te
write about lit'leeii hours a day. He
was not a Howells or a Itrnnson How

Jie labored; he tolled. He had no time
for a bicycle ami could not afford n
horse. He hated walking. Kun hr
could not. Swimming was out of tho
question. Still he must have exercise.
He kept his dictionary In the basement
nud his thesaurus lu the kitchen. As
he used both very often. It was neces

and up again, and In that way he kept
