should like to know! Next, he will
kill o COW, and then We must be satis-
fed with his being sorry for it Now,
| can tell you that don't believe any
thing about his being sorry, the grabbed,
ill-natured wretch
Don't call hard namea, Sally, farmer
Gray said, in n mild, soothing tone
Neighbor Barton was not himself when
he killed the geese. Like every other
angry person, he was little insnne,
and did what he would not have done
had he been perfectly in his right mind.
When you are little excited, you
know, Sally, That even you do and say
unreasonable things ....
Me do and say reasonable things
exclaimed Mrs. Gray, with look and
tone OF indignant astonshmcnt me
say and do unreasonable thinss, whom
am angry l don't understand you,
Mr. Gray
May be ! can help you n little
Don't you remember how angry you
were when MIR. Mellon's old brlndlc
COW got into Our garden, and tramped
over your lettuce bed, and how you
struck her with the oven pole, and
/ knocked off one of her horns 2
h But didn't mean TO do that, though.
No, but then you were angry, and
struck old brindle with a right good
will. And if Mr.. Mellon had felt dis
posed, he might have prosecuted for
damages.
! But she had no business there.
II 'Of course not. Neither had our
geese any business in nelghbor Barion's
J yard. But, perhaps can help YOU to
another instance, that will be more con-
elusive in regard to your doing and say
ing unreasonable things when you arc
angry. You remember the patent
churn = ....
1 'Yes but never mind about That
: so you have not forgotten how un7
reasonable you were about the churn.
1t wasn't good for any thing-you knew
r 1T wasn't and you'd never put q jar Of
. cream into i, as long us you liycd-that
a YOU wouldn't. And yet, on trial, yo"
found that churn the best you ever had
y used, and now wouldn't part with II OF
any consideration. So you see, Sally,
= that even you can say and do unicasona-
y BILE things when you are angry just rs
n well as Mr.. Barton can. Let us then
It consider him II little, and give him time
to get over his angry fiji. II VII b"
e much better to do So.
II Mrs. Gray saw that her husband was
Z right, but still she felt indignant at the
outrage committed on her geese. She
C did not, however, say any thing about
y sueiny the shocmaker--for old brindic u
d head from which the horn had been
C knocked off, was not entirely well, aud
one prosecution very naturally sugges-
II ted the idea Of another. So she took
her three Fat geese, and after stripping
I off their feathers, had them prepared for
! the table.
On the next morning, as Mr.. Gray
l. was going along the road, he met TIC
c shoemaker, and 40 they bad 10 pass
- very near to each other, the iar'"e'
