THE SORREL HORSE.

In the village of Saybrook, within the
confines of the Pine Tree State, lived
Deacon Aaron Adamson. He was not
only deacon, but he was also esquire,
having been appointed Justice OF the
Peace by Governor Hubbard at time
when men were not plenty who would
accept the Office, and pay the fee--at
least they had not been plenty in Say
brook. But. be he deacon, or be he
esquire, no glittering tide. or high
sounding refrain could cover up the
mainland the man was simply skin
flint, rs we shall see.
The deacon had been in his day
noted breeder of horses; and he might
have become wealthy from that source
alone, could he have contented himself
with honest returns for his ventures;
but nothing would content him while
there appeared shadow of gain beyond
the stated bound The last penny he
would pocket, and then fume. and
storm, and haggle, and lie until he got
another penny on top of that. Yes
he had been householder in his day.
and what he did not know about horses
was not worth knowing. OF late, how
ever, he had kept little stock, choosing,
he declared, to
..Shelter one or two of the very best
horses in the world rather than have
his stable filled with common, every
day trash"
But the truth was, he did not keep
MANY horses because nobody who knew
him dared to buy of him; and horse
known to have been bought OF DEACON
Adamson was very hard TO sell.
One spring there moved into the town
young farmer. named Moses Midwell,
who purchased the old Cummings place,
believing he could bring it back to what
it had been in the other years. when it
had rated as the best farm in Cumber-
land County. Midwell had bought the
farm. and paid for it-had bought all
the tools of the former overland had
bought, and paid cash for everything
needed, save a horse. He had heard
his father, in the years agone, speak OF
Deacon Adamson as the best judge OF
horsefesh in the State, and having
learned that the deacon was still alive.
and living at the village. he concluded
that he would apply to him for horse
"lf you re going to trade with Deacon
Adamson,r said one of his neighbors,
lido you Jest keep yer eyes open. He 5
dreadful cheat, and he's got so used
to lyin' that he don't rally know when
he does let the truth slip out"

Ar Alyth, in Scotland, few days
since, the suns rays focnsed through
the glass Of round water bottle sex
fire to q dwelling house. The smoke
and clacking noise awoke the inmates;
but the flames were not extinguisned
until considerable damage had been
done.

con Adamson at the village. Tie old
man bowed and offered his hand, as
though nothing unusual had happened.
He would not have spoken OF the horse
had not the other introduced the sub
ject.
"Of course" said Moses, "you knew
that the horses eyes were not right?'
"Yes, Moses-I did. never seek
to deceive. We did not speak of his
eyes. Ha, ha-you'n have to see for
him."
$50 1 have discovered; and, Mr..
Adamson, as do not like a blind horse,
l will let you have him back for the
amount paid for him."
care you in earnest, MosesT

The deacon placed the end of hist fore
finger beneath his eye, and pulled down
the lower lid.
There's nothing green there, dear
boy'"
"No."
"Then 1 guess Wen call trade-a
trade. You've got n good, strong. kind,
serviceable horse. and a color that
pleases YOU. But, really, Moses, the
lesson'll do you good. Next time you II
look little sharper with your own
eyes"
1.-The next time" said Moses as he
turned away, 81 shall seek to trade with
an honest man."
.Oh! don't be angry, Moses. Don't
lay it up"
From that time Moses Midwell met
the deacon frequently, and always with
q respectful salutation. He did not
profess friendly feeling. nor did he dis
play any feeling of ill-will-
The season passed, and Moses -four
ished on his farm. He had purchased
a new and improved threshing machine,
and he also owned horsepower for
saving wood. and for these uses the
sorrel horse worked in well and prOfita-
bly,.
Deacon Adamson had prepared for
having down a two-acre lot to grain and
grass. During the season last passed
he had raised upon that lot the largest
crop of corn ever raised from the same
territory in the county. He had APP
piled dressing without stint, and hav-
ing taken oil the corn, he meant now
to show the heaviest burden of grass
upon those two acres ever cut from the
same extent of surface. In laying it
down he wanted goodly quantity OF
red clover seed, and he had been in
formed that Moses Midwell had thresh-
ed out several bushels OF the very best
clover seed to be found anywhere.
When he next met Moses he asked him
if he had the seed to sell.
II 81 In
fact. most Of it is already engaged"
.'But you can spare me enough for
my two-acre lot?"
"Yes-I shall have plenty left for
that" -
"What shall YOU charge me for it?''
whatever it is going for at the
stores. There'll be no trouble on that
score" -si=l-
"And You'll warrant it to be pure
red clover?''
"No, sir; I'll Warrant it nothing Of
the kind. But I'll tell you this. sir:
have Just three bushels of seed in my
granary, and can give You my word
that every seed was thrcshed from as
fine and pure red clover as ever grew.
There's nothing else of seed in my
chests. save my wheat and barley and
oats" hove
IAN right. 1 shall look to you fol
the seed"
And you shall have it."
Moses Midwell went home, and that
night after everybody else was abed
and asleep, he went out to his barn
where his threshing machine stood upon

cheated.
..But.'' said he to himself, if he
does cheat me intentionally, l shall try
to get even with him.
So Mr.. Moses Midwell called upon the
deacon and made known his want.
"Ah! Midwell. son of my old friend!
l declare, it does me good to see you.
And you have come to live with us!
Good. Your father and l were like
brothers."
And SO the old man ratified on as they
walked towards the stable.
Upon my word. my dear boy, You
have hit me in just the right moment. if
, you want the kind OF horse | should
want. if / were in your place. Only TIE
color-I don't know how that will suit
you. Some folks don't like sorrel--and
| can't say it's a favorite color with
me- c
But Midwell did not object to that.
They reached the stable and the dea-
con backed the horse from the stall. If
he pinched the animal S nose, or twisted
his tongue, or stuck pin into his
shoulder, we cannot say; but We can
saw, that the horse came out lively,
prancing and vigorous, with ears erect
and nostrils disIended. And it was GER
