What He Could Do.

A good old Quaker was milking a
COW whose lively disposition had often
taxed his patience severely. The pail
was nearly full of foaming milk, when
in some manner the cow managed to
overturn it. The old man in righteous
indignation snatched up a nearby club
to Strike the exasperating animal
when he remembered the precepts of
his religion. ........
He dropped the stick, and in voice
trembling with anger said:

tail ?"-EverybOdy's Magazine.
