Old Simon sat by the FIRE place, boil
stored up in his great easy chair, With
padding of pillows and blankets for his
back, aud cushions for his feet.
Look out, Nathan" cried he, as he
saw the double muzzle pointed uncom-
fortably near him.
"Pooh, Their amt no danger, dad" re-
turned Nathan, pressing the hammer down
upon the cap.
But the cap was q very sensitive one,
and he pressed little too hard and
Mercy what a crash and what howl |!
The right barrel of the gun was dis,
charged with a report that shook the
house from ridge pole to the foundation,
and few of the shot grazed Simon Loves
leg. He, poor man, belle we'd he was shot
dead. He sent forth howl long and
loud, and leaped to his feet.
Murder! Murder! Murder! I'm dead
-killed-shot all to pieces. O! O!O!-
Murderw
And away he leaped out of doors-out
into the yard-where he danced up and
down, yelling like mad all the while. un-
til Nathan aud his wife and hired man
came to his assistance. They got him
into the house, and got him down into
his chair, and after critical examination
they found two or three livid lines upon
the calf Of his right Icy, where stray
shot had just grazed the skin.
"Ain't shot2"
mo. Get up and see."
He was up in moment, standing first
upon one leg and then upon the other, and
presently the thought occurred to him
that he had really risen, aud unaided.
He started off upon brisk walk, without
pain and without hindrance. He could
hardly credit the evidences of his own
senses. He leaped and he danced; he
ran to the we'll aud back again.
And he spoke truly. The terrific shock,
convulsing every nerve and straining
every muscle, had healed him, and from
that time be had not another touch of the
old trouble.
