q On the next das, while Mr.. Gray stood
in his W door, from which he could see
oversthe two or three acres of ground that
the shoemaker cultivated, he observed two
ofhis cows in his nttghbor's cornield, brows-
ing away in quite contented manner. AS
he was going tocah one Of the farm hands
to 90 over and drite them out, he perceived
that Mr.. Barton Ind become aware of the
mischief that was going on, and had already
started for the field.

lesson, fstsaid the farmer to himself and then
paused to observe the manner of the shoe
maker towards his cattle in driving them out
of the field. In a few minutes Mr.. Barton
came up to the cows but, instead of throw
ing stones at them, or striking them with a
stick, he merely drove them out in a quiet
way, and put up the bars thro' which they
!. had entered. .
Admirable ' calculated farmer Gray.
"What is admirable!" asked his wife who
came within hearing distance at the moment,

That word policy, Sally, is not q good
word, replied her husband. ''Itconyeys a
thoroughly selfish ides.s Now, we ought to
look for some higher motives of action than
mere policy, motives grounded in correct
and unselash principles" rs Gta. Pa
q HBut what other motive but policy could
we possibly have for putting up wish Mr..
Barton's outrageous conduct" ..gs
Eks EOther and fan higher motives it seems
to me. 1Wershould reflect that Mr.. Barton
has naturally a hasty temper, and that, in
mine eases out OF ten, he is asgrcater sufferer
from those outbreaks than any one else. In
our actions towards him then, it is a much
higher and better motive for us to be govern

of this evil, than 10 look entirely to the pro-
lection of ourselves from its effects. Do you
