UP A TREE.

One day recently Peter Lamb was walk
ing by Keyser's orchard, and the apples
looked so tempting that he determined to
go up a tree after some. He was just fair
ly up the tree when Keyser came along
with his dog, and as he had had great
many apples stolen he was pretty angry
at finding Lamb in the act Of taking some
without leave.
SO after expressing his sentiments in
very vigorous language he told Peter that
as he was very fond of apples he might
stay up there all night enjoying them.
Then he called the attention Of the dog to
Peter, told the animal to watch him and
walked up TO tho house. As the brute lay
down beneath the tree Peter thought he
had never seen such an awful looking dog,
and he called Keyser to take it away and
TO let him pay for the fruit. But keyser
pretended not to hear him.
Then Peter tried to scare the dog of by
pelting him with apples, but every time
he hit the animal it seemed to become
more ferociously determined to eat piece
OF Lamb before it abandoned him.
Peter then tried coaxing the dog, but the
more Establishments he offered the hun
grier the dog sccmed TO get Then Peter
waited till the dog became calmer and lay
down, and then he tried TO steal down the
other side of tic tree, but before he reach
ed the ground the dog was on the alert
and ready to nip MIR. Lambs calf.
At last Peter determined to resort to
strategy lie went up as high as possible
in the tree and took off his boots, his coat,
his trousers and his nat, and fixing them
