some couple in New Hampshire, who got
into pitched battle in the barn. one
day-that is to say a pilchfork battle
but the husband being the smarter of
two, at length iloored his adversary, and,
putting the tines of his fork astrde her
neck, nailed her TO the plank, and stood,
painting but triumphant, like St. George
over the body of the conquered dragon
in the picture. The woman, fastened TO
the floor but unharmed by the immova-
ble fork. turned and twisted about ia the
liveliest manner until she was quite ex.
hausted At last she said. in a subdued
and plaintive voice, that she was resigned
and begged her spouse to let her up
/" Res,gmed-are you ?" cried the inso-
lent victor" He'll is full of just such
resignation !"
