On tho noxt morning as Mr.. GRAY was

each other, the farmer smiled, and bowed
and spoke kindly, Mr.. Barton looked aud
acted very uneasy,-but farmer Gray did
not seom to remember tho unpleasopi AZ
cident of the day before.
II was about eleven o'clock of the same
dav, that one of farmer Gray's little boys
came running to him, CRYING
"oh fatherl father! Mr.. Barton's hogs
are in our cornfield."
"Then l must drive them out" said Mr..
GRAY. in a quiet tone.
"Driye them outr, calculated Mrs. Gray.
'Drivo 'om out indeed I'd shoot them,
that's what I'd do? I'd serve him as he
served my geese Yesterday"
"But that wouldn't bring the geese to life

"No. Sallv-not revenped. lam not an
prv with neiohbor PARTON. Rut while 7
am talking here. his hogs are DESTROYING
nv corn"
And so savinr. farmer GRAY hurried Off
towards his cornfield. When he arrived
there he found four largo hogs tearing
down the stalks. and pulling off and eat
ing the ripo ears of corn. They had al
ready DESTROYED good deal. But he drove
them out very calmly. and nut M the bars
through which tbey had entered and then
commenced gathering up the half-eaten
ears of corn. and throwing them ont into
the lane. for the hogs that had been go sud
denly di sturbed in the process Of obtain
inp n liberal meal
As he was thus engaged. Mr.. Barton
who had from his own house. seen the far
mer turn the hogs out of his cornfeld.
came hurriedly up. and said.
"I am very sorry, Mr.. Gray. indeed r
am, that nay hogs have done this ! I will
most cheerfully pay you for what they have
destroyed"
"Oh, never mind, friend Barton-novcr
mind. Such things will happen OCCASION
ally. My geese you know, annoy you very
much sometimes
Don't speak of it, Mr.. Gray. They
didn't annoy me so much as I imagined
they did. But how much corn do you
think my hogs have destroyed? One bush
ell, or two bushels? Or how much? Let
il be estimated. and | will nav YOU most
cheerfully."
"No, no. Not for the world, friend Bar
| ton, Such things will happen sometimes.
And, besides, some of nv men must
have left the bars down. or your hogs nev-
er could have got in. So don't think onv
more about IT. 1t would be dreadful II
ono neiphbor could not hear little with
another"
