while ! am talking here, his hogs are
destroying my corn
Aud sal saving, farmer GRAY hurried
otT i"r Srds his corn field. When ne AR
rived there he found four large hogs
tearing down the stalks, and pulling ohf,
snd rating ihc ripe eais of corn. They
bad already dr.iioyed a good deal.

who has ""'o his own house seen the
'"rmrr "tp the hogs out OF his corn field,
can" hTnledly up, aud said,
y am very sorry, Mr.. Gray, indeed
] am, that my hogs have done this ]
will mos, chreri"lly pay you for what
they have destroyed
'Oh, never mind friend Baron--never
mind. Such things viii happen occa
si"nally. NY geese, you know, annoy
you very much sometimes
'Dont speak of it, Mr.. Gray. They
did'nt aDnoy me hall IA much as | i'm
ngined they did But how much corn
do you think my hogs have destroyed z
One or t~" hushrisy or how much
Let il be -sunaird, and | will pay you

oh, no. Not for The world friend
Barion. Such things will happen some
tunes. And, besidrs, sorne OF my men
urust have leli the bars down. So don't |
think any more about 1t. Ii would be
dreadful If one neighbor could not bear
Itllc with anolher.'
All this cut poor Mr.. Barton To the
heart. Ills own III natnred language,
md conduct, at n much smaller irespnss
on his rights, presented itself to his mind,
md deeply mortified him. After a few
m"nc nt's silence, he said L
the fact ,s, Mr. Gray, shall feel
b~i,rr If you will let me pay for this corn
My hogs should not be fatenpd n, your
expense, and ] will not consent TO its be-
mg done. S" | shall insist on paving
you for at leas, one bnshel o! corn, for
am sure they have destroyed that much,
VI not more
But Mr.. Gray shook his head, and
smiled pie asnnily, as he replied
Don't lh'nk any thing more about 1t.
nriphbor Barton. ii is u matter deserv.
jig no consideration. No donbt my cat
tie have often trespassed on YOU, and
will trespass on you again. Let us then
bear and imbcar.'
All this cnt the shoemaker still deep
er, aud he ielt still less at ease in mind
after he parted from the farmer than he
did before. But one thing he resolved,
aud 'ha, was, to pay Mr.. Gray for the
corn uhIch his hogs had eaten.
