The Luck that Followed an Old Horse.

81 saw a funny sight in the stree,
just now said Mr.. Patterson to his
friend. Mr.. johnson, in the Fifth Avenue
Hotel barber. shop, last Monday after
noon. ~ met an elegantly dressed lady
carrying in her hand nm old horseshoe
covered with mud. | presume she had
just found il, and was carrying II home
for good luck"
GOOD luck" replied Mr.. johnson.
"Don't talk 20 me about old horseshocs
and good luck. About a month ago my
wife and ! were returning from Church
one Sunday. when, Just in front IF the
new Roman Catholic Cathedral, in
Fiftieth Street, n horse, which vas be-
ing driven at a lively gait, threw a shoe
and it went ringing along the pavement.
so get that shoe said my wife, .and
we will keep il for good luck ! picked
IL up, utterly running one Of my gloves
in doing so, as il was covered with mud.
This l was going To wipe off on the
curb. but my wife cried out, oh, don't
do that, for II you do you will wipe off
all your luck So lugged the old thing
all the way home, and over the door we
hung il, mud and all. The next morn
ing | went down 10 the store wondering
wha, my first streak of good luck would
be. Before night l had n misunder-
standing with my employer, with
whom | have been for several years; we
both got hot, and the result vas that
he gave me notice that after the LIST Of
text January he wonld dispense with
my services. A few DAYS afterward my
wife went out To do n little shopping
and lost her pocket-book,% containing all
the money We had been saving tor n
long time TO spend for holiday presents
and amusements. In fact for about two
weeks every thing seemed To go against
me, and | was in hot water al the time.
Finally, | said to my wife one day that
l believed that il was that COMPOUNDED
old horseshoe that va 10 blame for IL
all, and that | was bound to take IL
down and put it back in the street, Just
where | found it, and so | did.
"The very next morning my employ
er sent for me 10 come and see him in his
private Office. He said he had been
mistaken in the matter about which we
had differed, ~apologized for what be
had said, hoped there would be no hard
feelings about it, and wound up by en-
gazing me for another year st An in
creased salary. | went home that night
feeling better natured than I had for
weeks l told my wife Of my good luck.
and then she took from her pocket a
letter which she had that day received
from her father, notifying her that he
was going to send her a check for $500
- -
had only good luck since I threw away
that old horseshoe. They may bring
luck TO some folks. bat my wife and
don't al any more horse-shoes in

that he would either be a Justice of the
Peace or a highwayman, and told them
to take their choice. As good as his
word, he waylaid a County Judge and
a clergyman and robbed them of their
horses. For this exploit he was sent to
the Ohio Penitentiary for 10 years, but
was soon pardoned ont. He at once re-
commenced his struggle for such fame
as is to be found in the Office of a Justice
of the Peace, and in 1862 was absolutely
elected to that Office in Monroe County
by his a~ppreciative neighbors, defeat
ing one of the wealthiest men in the
county, who was his political opponent.
1t was, however, proved that he was in
capacitated for filling Office by civil dis
abilities. The blow seemed to break
Shops iron heart. He became peni-
tent for his sins and reformed. He re-
sides now near the old tavern on the
worst 40 acres in Perry County, or, as
it was APPLY called, "the most God
forsaken spot in Ohio" He has
been in the habit of voting there, but
at the last election the Judges took it
into their heads TO challenge his vote,
alleging that he had Y received a
reprieve from the Wisconsin peniten-
tiary. Old Shep. was not at all abashed,
aud reaching into an inner pocket he
produced 3 bundle of papers, which he
threw upon the table, saying: There
are eight reprieyes: you can take your
CHOICE Ii is needless to say his vote
was admitted. He is quite polished in
and is well educated. 1t is re
lated that a certain candidate, who was
likewise a note-shaver, treated him for
a speech. Shep. ross and made q speech
completely destroyed the local can
didate's chances OF election. He has
memorized Milton, Shakespeare and
Homer and large portions of Byron. He
delights much In the fame he has made
for himself. He claims that his gang
made away with 400 horses On the
he is as remarkable y man prob
ably, as can be found in Centeral Ohio.
