THE VERMONT DEACON.

In the happy State of Vermont lived
two neighbors, Major Fiery, a farmer.
and Deacon Goodall, a merchant
These men were inseparable friends
and irreconcilable foes. They could
not stay apart, and they could not re-
main together, always coming to high
words, and parting in the heat of a
quarrel.
Every day did the Major mount his
steed, pace to town and get down at
the store of his good friend, the Dea-
con. All subdued by the last nights
encounter, and humbly resolved to sail
under reefed canvas, they set forth on
conversational voyage together. But
insensibly gliding into some stormy
theme, the high words of the previous
day would be re enacted, and in hot
wrath the Major would mount for
home, cool of on the road, afflict him
self with self-reproaches over night,
and the next day return to renew the
encounter.
Thus day after day, week after week,
and year after year, had revolved the
even current of unevenness in temper
of these irascible friends, until each
had grown gray in the warfare. But
one luckless day, the excitement had
reached an unprecedented fury, and
the Major had so far forgotten him
self as to seize the Deacon and admin
lister to him vigorous shaking, then
mounting his horse he spurred for
home.
The cool evening air and solitude
soon wrought their usual work on the
self condemned Major, and he expert
eneed unusual self-reproach for his
unpardonabIe IoS5E0f- 0f-+amper. Night
found him impatient for the morning.
and early morning found him on asIs
) way to beg the Deacon's pardon.
The merchant had not yet come
down to the store, and the impatient
Major sought him at his home, Re-
sponsive to the early summons, down
came the Deacon, mild, as summer, and
) shook the Majors proffered hand.
II was SO ashamed of my conduct
Yesterday" said the Major, 'sthat
could not rest until I hsd come and
asked your pardon. To think that we
have been friends for thirty years, and
e 1 should so far forget myself as to &C
) tually shake you, was really quite un
+ pardonable."
: "Oh,. it was nothing" soothingly
replied the modified Deacon, ''the best
y of us will sometimes loseour self-con
troll
i '.Then you forgive me Really ant
! truly forgive me p Pursued the pen
itent Major.

"Are you quite sure yon do, now
Fully and entirely, and are not merely
trying to do SO, and would if yo'
could ?'
"Why, yes" laughed the Deacon, g
