I GUESS I'M THE MAN.

A farmer living in Oxford coun-
ty, Maine, went down to town not
a thousand miles from Portsm outh,
for the purpose of purchasinga yoke
of oxen, as he had been informed
that there was a lot of very fine
stock for sale by one OF the wealthy
land owners of that place. Arriving
in the best farming district of the
Cumberland county town, our friend
met a man driving an OK team, of
whom he inquired:
"Can you inform me where Mr..
Wall lives 7"
"There is a number of Walls liv-
ing around here. Which one do
you wish to fnd?" returned the
stranger, who was a stout-built,
keen-eyed man, habited in home
spun, but bearing in general APP
pearance unmistak able tokens of
ease and comfort, so far as finances
were concerned.
81 don't know what his Christian
name is" pursued our friend, "but
he is the owner of some very fine
oxen"
"Well," responded the stranger,
''they all own pretty fair oxen"
"But the one ! wish to find has
oxen for sale."
GAS for that, sir, guess they'd
any of 'em sell if they could only
get their price"
"But," exclaimed the Oxford
County man, "the Mr.. Wall l wish
to find is quite wealthy"
eyes; well, l reckon there amt
any of them very bad off, replied
the other with a nod.
"My Mr.. WALL" continued our
FRIEND, hesitating, "has been repre-
scented TO me as being a very close
listed man, and not serupulously
honest in all his transactions"
With curious twinkle in his eye,
and a gentle pat upon the paunch of
his near OK, he said "To tell the
truth, sir, guess they are close
listed set all round, and / never
heard that honesty run in the family. |
Isn't there something else 7"
"Yes," replied the searcher for
oxen, desperately, "they say he has
been caught in the act of robbing /
his own brothers chicken-coop."
The stranger bowed and smiled.
al guess I'm the man; come with /
me and II show you as fine stock |
of cattle as you can find in the I
State and if you know what oxen
are, there is no danger of being
cheated"

LOVE AND REVENGE.

A correspondent in a Minnesota
town writes the particulars Of little |
incident that transpired in that vi
cinity, which may be epitomized
thus:
A youth was deeply enamored of
a maiden, who lived some half mile
off, across the creek. His gushing
affections were rcciprocated. Anoth-
eryoung man in the neighborhood was
nursing just the same senations, only
he was minus the supreme bliss of
the reciprocation. Thereupon he
plotted scheme for revenge upon
his hated and more successful rival.
1t was the custom of the damsel to
walk back, of evenings, with her
lover to the creek, over which he
had constructed, for his own conven-
fence, on this mission, little foot
bridge of tamarac poles. So one
Sunday night, while No. was com
fortably seated in the farm house,
looking love to Dyes that were not
always at very great distance from
his own, No 2, taking advantage of
the darkness, sawed the poles of the
bridge, half off from below and half
off from above, leaving them resting
Just as usual. Fastening one end of
a clothes-line to the frail structure,
he seated himself with the other end
clutched with determined grasp, up
stream. He waited and waited
the moments seeming hours, and the
hours days-and it was not until
nearly midnight that his listening
cars were greeted by the sound of
approaching footsteps. The happy
couple, absorbed wholly in their own
converse and dreaming of no danger,
stepped on the bridge and walked
slowly to the middle, the customary
place of parting. They fingered
ever the last words, and there were
many good-byes, with little, broken
off pauses which were very aggravat-
ing to the chap up tho creek. He
wound the cord tightly around his
hand, planted his feet firmly, and
Just as tho murmuring swain was as
surfing the bundle of divinity en-
circlcd within his coat-sleeve that
"His love was like the lava food
That burns in Etna's breast of
fame"
he thought it was about time that
sort of thing was stopped, and so
gave vigorous pull, a crash-a
succession of screams-a double
plunge-a momentary spouting of
water with quick gaspings-and
then rapid scrambling for shore
In the meantime, the william in the
play had
Dropped the end ofthe bed cord,
And silently peeled for home"
leaving the irate lover to get himself
and his dripping Dulcinea to more
comfortable quarters as best he
might.
