How an Outraged Farmer Got Even with

Farmers, even those not otherwise
noted for liberality, are usually very
willing to give a lift" in their wagons
to pedestrians, unless their appearance
is decidedly unprepossessing, and pro-
vided, of course, the request is made
in proper form.
A farmer, returning from town with
an empty produce wagon, overlook a
young man plodding along with the
discouraged air of a city man unused
to dirt roads.

TRUE TO HIS MASTER.

The Attachment Existing Between a
Mar and a Seal
Most people are accustomed to think
of a seal merely as an amphibious
creature, from which sealskin cloaks,
caps, ETC., are obtained; but few are
aware that it is an animal of great in
telligence, and as capable of being do
mesticated and made a pet of as a dog
or cat.
The small seal frequenting the coast
Of Great Britain, though inferior in
value to it's cousin of the South Seas,
surpasses it in this intelligence and
tractability. 1t j. easily tanned, and
can even be trained tofellOw it's master
like a dog-of course in its own awk-
ward, legless fashion,
AS I walked along the beach at Scar
borough, Eng, n day, I observed a
little crowd of people gathered around
a nondescript vehicle, half cart, half
tank. Beside the vehicle stood a man,
and on it a small seal was amusing the
crowd by plunging into the water at
the word of command from it's master,
catching sticks and bringing them to
him in it's mouth, and performing sun
dry other tricks, after which a ragged
cap was passed around, and a few pen
MES and half pennies collected.
I passed on and had gone a consider
able distance along the sands, when l
suddenly became aware that every
body except myself-the pedestrians,
the donkeys on which children were
getting penny rides, the old women
selling curious shells, the, hucksters
peddling early pears, gingerbread and
other edibles, the peep-show men,
every one, in short-was fastening in
the other direction.
The tide was coming in!
Not wishing to be caught in the rapid
waves that chased each other up the
beach 1 turned also and followed the
multitude upwards, for I saw that
the high water line, clearly defined on
the sea wall by a dark heavy growth
of seaweed, was decidedly above my
head.
When 1 reached the place where the
seal had been exhibiting I found the
throng all gone and the man standing
alone by his cart, with the tired crea-
ture clinging to his breast, it's paws
resting on his shoulders and it's head
Struggled into his neck, just like a kit

stood a moment, much interested,
looking at the pair.
"He seems to know yOu," said l
"Oh! he knows me-" said the man,
with the ring of afectionate conviction
in his voice. HE knows me and loves
me dearly and understands every word
l say to him" And his hand, with a
yet tenderer touch, pressed still closer
to his old faded red w~aistcoat the wet,
dripping form of his humble friend.
1t was a clear case of mutual attach
