Judge PlGman short time ago bought
a pet lamb Ior his children to play with ,
1t was pretty good sized lamb. an d
strong and vigorous, but the Judge said
he preferred that kind, because the
children would be less liable to hurt it.
GA the day that it came home the =
turned 1T lnto the front yard, where it
strayeu about, nibbling The grass, while
the Judge tied up his geran!ums. Mrs.
FltMdn nad the children in the house,
and she was reading to them from q
book a description OF the characteris-
tics oil lambs. The account said 1.-THE
lamb is one of the most playful and in
nocent OF animals. SO Kind and meek
is 1t that its name has for centuries
sbeen the synonym OF gentleness and
sweetness OF disposition. 1t never in
jures any one. and wnen it is attacked
IL always suffers humbly and in silence.
There ls something so beautiful about
The gentle little animal tina "---
just at this point Mrs. Pitman was in
terrupted by the voice OF The Judge
coming from the front yard. 1t sounded
as il he were in distress of some Kind.
Toe whole family f.w out upon the
porch, and there They saw that pet lamp,
whose name Was the synonym of gentle
ness, engaged in butting the Judge. Ii
would butt him In the rear and knock
him over, and then 1T would butt him on
the legs, and batter him On the ribs, and
plunge its head into his stomach, and
jam It's skull against his cnest. When
he rose it butted MS shlns, aud when he
stopped over 10 rub them it butted his
head. Then it, buLted him generally
wherever chance presented itself, and
when it had doubled the Judge all up
uuder the Norway maple it butted down
three rose bushes, butGed a plaster gar
den-yase to fragments, butted two
pa!ings of Of the Ience, and danced off
uown the street, buLting at the tree
boxes, the hltching-posts,a and the north
west wind.
Mr. Potter fually knocked it on the
head with club and brought it home to
the Judge, and subsequently, when
tnev had the hind leg Tor dinner, the
Judge observed TO Mrs. Pitman that
from the manner in which that lamb cut
he should believe that it was born dur
ing the war OF 1872, and that it was, in
fact, Terrific old ram. Then be said he
should 60 down ana see the man who
sold it w him for lamb and baag him

Tom found a man from Wisconsin, a
preacher, who took a fancy to the wild
owls horse. Tom asked $125 for it. The
preacher offered $75. Tom offered to
split the difference, but the preacher
would not split Tom knew the
animal was really worth about
$25, but thought if he made any
more concessions it would look like Il
confession that the price he had at first
asked was extOrLionate; so he cudgeled
his brain Tor way out of the difficulty.
He agreed to take 800 for tue morse
