QUAKER,s REVENGE.

Obadiah Lawson and Watt Dood were
neighbors; that is, they lived within half
n mile OF each other, and no person lived
between their respective farms, which
would have joined, had not little strip
ofprairie land extended itself sufficiently
10 keep them separated. Dood was the
oldest settler, and Gom his youth up had
entertained a. singular hatred against
Qnakers; therefore, when he was infor.
med that Lawson, regular disciple Of
that class of people, bad purchased the
next farm 10 his, he declared he would
make him glad to move away again
Accordingly system ofpetiy anhoyan-
ees was commenced by him; and every
time one of Lawson's hogs CHANGED 10
stray upon Dood's place, he was beset by
men and dogs, and most savagely abused.
Things progressed thus for nearly a
year, and the Quaker, man Of deci-
dedly peace principles, appeared in no
way to resent ,heimuries received at the
hands Of his spiteful neighbor. But
matters were drawing 10 crisis: fol
Dood, more enraged than ever at the
quiet OF Obadiah, made oath thai he
would do something before lang to wake
up the spunk Of Lawson Chance fa-
vored his design. The Quaker had. a
high -blooded FLY, which he had been
very careful in raising and which was
Just four years old. Lawsontook great
pride in this animal, and had refused a
large sum ofmoney for her. s aW
One evening, a little after sundown,
as Watt Dood was passing around his
corn field, he discovered The flly in the
little strip of praire land tla, separated
the two farms. and he conceived the
hellish design of throwing off two OF
three rails of his fence, that the horse
might get into his corn during the night.
He did so, and the mex: morning. bright
and early, he shouldered his rifle ana
left the house. Not long after his ab-
sence, a hired man whom he had re-
Gently employed, heard the echo of his
gun, and in a few minutes Dood, con-
siderably excited and out Of breath, came
hurrying 70 The house, where he stated
that he had shot at and wounded buck (;
that the deer had attached him, and
he hardly escaped. with hisllife.
This story was credited by all but the
newly employed hand, who had taken
dislike to Watt, and from his manner
Judged tiat something was wrong He
therefore slipped quietly away from the
house, aud going through tho field in the
direction fihet shot, be, suddenly came
upon Lawson's filly, stretched upon the
earth, with bullet hole through the
head, from which the warm blood was still

The .animal was, warm, and could nu
have been killed an hour. He fastened
back to the dwelling Of Dood, who met
