A HORSE TRADE.-An Irishman nam
ed Pat Mulrooney, had a kicking horse
that he wanted to get rid of, but found
it very difficult. AT last he entered him
at auction, and warranted him sound and
kind, and free from the kicks. On the
day of the sale, he pointed out the good
qualities of the horse, and he was sold
for one hundred and seventy-fve dollars.
Pat was afraid the horse would show his
bad qualities before the money was paid
SO he wanted to hurry up the bargain,
and the way he did it was this. He
went to the purchaser, and said !:
"You can't have that horse, sir"
"Why not? Didn't buy him p said
the purchaser.
eyes, you bought him." said Pat
''but I've been offered more money for
him, and you can't have him. Besides,
he bites"
81 don't care for that" said the buyer.
ssBut he kicks like tue devil" said Pat,
"and he'll smash anything you'll hitch
him to-"
''Wel, I'm going to pay for him now,
and take the risk, % said the buyer, land
if he kicks, I'll never call on you to take
him back"
The fellow took the horse home, and
as soon as he attempted to put him to a
wagon, he smashed it all to pieces. It
was too late, now, to complain. Pat
told him the horse kicked, and the mon
ely was paid over, so the horse turned
out to do the best he could for himself.
