Keen tho Gate Shut.

An English farmer was one day at
work in his fields, when he saw a party
of huntsmen riding about his farm. He
had one field that he was especially anx-
ious that they should not ride over, as
the crop was in a condition to be badly
injured by the tramp Of horses. So he
dispatched one of his workmen to this
field, telling him to shut the gate, and
then keep watch over ii, and on no ac-
count to suffer it to be opened. The boy
went rs he was hidden but was scarcely
at his post before the hunters came up,
peremptorily ordering the gate 10 he
opened. This the boy declined TO do,
stating the orders he had received, and
his determination not TO disobey them.
Threats and brides were offered, alike in
vain one after another came forward rs
spokesman, but all with the same result; ;
the boy remained immoyable in the de
termination not 10 open the gate. Afier
awhile, one of noble presence advanced
