THE GOOD UN.

An air of gloom pervaded the store
Outside the rain came pattering down
1t ran in torrents off the porch roof anC
across the entrance made formidabl,
moat, which had been temporaril,
bridged by an old box. 1t gathered OF
the limbs of the leafess trees and pour
ed in steady little streams upon tn,
backs Of the three forlorn horses that
shivering under waterlogged blankets
stood patiently, with hanging heads, al
the long hitching rail. Within every
thing was dry, to be sure, but the fire
wood, which was damp and would not
burn, SO the big egg stove sent forth nc
cheerful rays Of heat and light. Out
from its heart came the sound of sizzle
and splutter as some isolated fame at.
tackled piece of water soaked hickory.
1t seemed to have conveyed it's i'll humor
to the little group around it.
The Tinsmith arose from the nail keg
upon which he had been seated, walked
disconsolately to the door and gazed out
through the begrimed glass at the dreary
village street. He stood there a moment
and then lounged back to the group
about the stove, and as he rubbed his
hands on the pipe in avain effort to alb
sorb little heat he grumbled:
This here rains upset all my cal
kerlations. / was goin ter bile termor-
rer but you uns don't ketoh me maxim
cider on sech day as this. Me weemen
say'd thet they'd hev tn schnitz done
up terday, an we could start til kittles
airly in tn mornin. Now, all this time
is loss "
The lad departed. The chronic loafer
leaned back Oh two legs OF his chair
and said, "Speakin Of apple butter bilin
remin's me Of good un ! he'd Oh me
missus las week. -
"Et allsor remin's me" interposed
the tinsmith, "thet ! met Abe Scissors
up ter preachin last Sunday, an he was
wond'rin when you was goin ter return
his copper kittle "
"Abe Scissors needn't git wOrrit
bout his kittle. I've good un on him
as we'll as Oh tn missus. His copper" -
The farmer, who was almost hidden
from view by the stove, at this junoture
leaned forward in his chair and inter
rupted "But Abe Scissors amt got
no kittle. Thet there -
Let him tell his good one, " cried
the teacher Hes been trying il every
night this week Let's get done with IT, "
