A Jealous Lovers Rusc.

A Young countrvman who had long
loved Il girl sho lived mile or two
from him was nearly in despair about
Winning her hand, and was on the eve
Of selling out ard leaving The country
as the girl had refused him three times,
and it was out that she was engaged to
another fellow.
Our hero had noticed that his rival
and tho girl walked in al ola meadow
field nearly every afternoon, and he
grew madiy .etlous. In his cattle he
had u young bull that was alwa! s mad
with everything but Ills master, be-
cause he was an especial pet. Now
Dave, as he called the bull was to be
the object Of revenge. He would turn
him into the meadow, hide himself and
see his rival tossed like football. So
one afternoon, calling to Dave, who
would follow him like Il COZ, lie repair
ed to the meadow, let the fence down
and turned the bull in. Ilrthen stroll
ell Oft, aud walked around the field, as
miserable as nan could be who was
committing an evil decd. An hour or
50 later he heard the deep mutterings
Of the bull, and fastening to the mead
ow fence, he saw Dave about twenty
yards from the coup e, paw N dirt and
shaking his head. The man was try
ing to get the girl to run but she was
50 terrified that she could not MOVE
The bull made dash and the fellow
ran shreeking for the fence. The bull
dashed on after the flying fellow, while
our dlsconsolate young man, having
Jumped the fence, rushed to the girl as
the bull dashed on after the fugitive
rival, and catching her in his arms told
her that such coward was UNIV orthy
Of her.
AS Dave saw his young master he left
off rUrsueing the other man, returned
and went to Ii;Nin, the hand Of his
master, while the indignant girl vowed
see would never more speak to man
that was afraid Of COW.
She soon a'tcr married Dawes boss.
