BRUTUS MO HIS SUCCTSSORS
Rome yean ago I owned a large flock
of sheep, and though I should hesitate
to giTe in foil my experience aa a sheep
fanner, yet there are a few “episode*"
in that experience which may probably
amuse and interest the boy readers of
the Companion. One occurred the
second week after getting my first flock
borne.
I had bought “Brutus,” a Tory largo
South Down track, about as handsome
an animal as I erer saw. He would
have weighed, alive, at least 200 pounds,
and was as portly as a lord. It did mo
good to look at lux fleece; it was magnifi
cent
I did not know when I bought him,
that Bratus had a very sinister reputa
tion. This I afterwards learned. Ho
was a dangerous “butter,” and had
shortly before killed two tracks, and had
nearly broken a man's legs. Yet ono
would never have thonght it, on seeing
the beast; for Brutus had no horns aud
had a most amiable expression. I I**l
him )iome myself. He seemed very do
cile.
The same week I also bought “Cwwr.”
He was a young Cotswnld, valued at
twenty dollars. Ho had asiqierb cream
white fleece, very long and thick. ITis
former owner assured me that the wool
on Cswar was ten inches in length, or
rather depth.
Though not yet fully grown, his horns
were large and finely curved. Ho was
not so big and portly as Brutus; but I
liked him 1 letter iu many respects.
Brutus I kept chained in ono of the
barns; while Closer dwelt in a pen, in
another barn, but had litierty to oome
out into the barnyard, which was sur
rounded by a strong board fenoo, eight
or ten feet in height.
I knew they would fight if they were
to meet; but I thought they were se
curely confined. The barns worn distant
from each other a hundred foot or more.
One morning I had let out my flock
into the fields, and waa leisurely return
ing, salt dish in hand, to the house, when
I was startled by an ominous crash of
hoards up at the barns. I. set off'in
hsste to ascertain the cause, when an
other violent crash warned mo to hurry.
I reached the yard just in time to sen
young Caviar knocked headlong through
the Imard fence, at the lower end of it.
He lay partly in the gap and quivered.
I thought at first that lie was stunned
merely. But*he waa dead. History
had repeated itself there in my aheep
ysrd; Brutus had slain Caviar; aud, still
war-like, he stood insido the hole aud
dared me to come in.
14 4aok both Mr. Bean (the hired man)
and myaatf to capture him. We found
that be had brokon his chain, or
wrenched the staple from the post, aud
got into the barn-yard by Imttiug a
broad hole through the board fence.
The next day, or the next day but one,
he bunted down the uaeful Mr. Bean
who bad led turn out to water—and
bruised his lmf her 1 outfit. But,
though knookoXT at. Bean had seized
the track by one of his hind legs and
held fast, and in a moment or two had
regained his feet. - -
In that plight the two wont over the
yard and had a lively tuaaol for tho mart
tery. At length Bean got hold of tho
other hind leg- and lot go • tho chain.
Borne minute* later he caino down to
the house wheeling llnitus Ixtforo him;
tliat ia, he had both tho ram’s hind log*
li his.handa; and so forced the auiuml
lo walk laborodly before him like n
wheelliamiw; or, ns tho Irays at school
fixed -to say, "wnlk Sjiauish.” Tho chain
Whs drugging after.
“Here’s your cretter—'sum him!” ho
exclaimed. "He like tor broke my
I*iß—-’sam him! Wy! a man’s iu danger
of his life!”
Mrs. Bean came out and said the
same; she declared she was in danger of
her life when she wont to food tho lions
and hunt eggs.
I was obliged to dispose of Brutus.
In place of these two fallen heroes. I
next lionght “John Gilpin,” a prompt,
straight-limbed South Down, with a
black face and smut legs. His name,
like that of his predecessors, ennio to me
on him. His former owner told mo that
he knew his namo as well as any bov,
and perhaps he did; for ho really would
run to you when you said John Gilpin—
and shook the salt dish.
Asa stock animal he was ranked high,
and I paid a correspondingly high price.
I may as well tell you what became of
him. For a year he was monarch of my
flock, a very proud aud arrogant one.
He had grown. I valued him highly.
Every one who saw him admired him.
But a queer fatality hung over my stock
animals.
One day in October, the next fall,
after we had turned the sheep into the
fields, Mr. Beau came running to the
house.
“There’s trouble, sir, up in the upi>or
field!" he exclaimed. "There'sa strange
cretter oome.”
Trouble_ind*ll On reaching tho ujv
oer field, there lav John Giluin with all
four of his black legs in the air and his
neck crooked under him, while over his
prostrate body stood another groat, bony,
but ill-conditioned ram with horns like
an argali’s.
Without exception, this was tho most
ruffianly-looking brute I ever saw—a
creature all bone aud horns, with little
flesh and lees wool. Nevertheless, this
Islimaelite had killed the well-bred John
Gilpin the very first “pass” he had made
at him.
We reconnoitred the beast at a respect
ful distance. “I declare!” said Beau.
"He's a pilL Whar d'ye s'poee he come
from?"
That was an open question. The ani
mal had what looked to be a towstring
tied round his nook, with the end drag
ging. Presumably, he had been, hitched
somewhere, by somebody.
We drove the entire flock down to the
barn-yard, and at length got the truculent
stranger into a pen in the barn, where I
meant to keep him till I could ascertain
who owned him, and rooover damages.
But we had-not got many steps from
the barn before we heard a crash, and,
turning, eaw the Bew-oomer just walking
•at He had knocked tire barn-door
down! Evidently we did not know him
yet
“Sam him!" exclaimed the astonished
Mr. Bean. "Why, ha's e regular old
Peelygeriio!"
We beaded him off. stoned him back
into the ham, and then chained him to a
peat with two ox-chains.
Next day Mrs. Bean cams to tell me
that there was s man below who wanted
to ■g'cok with me. Going to tha bouse I
brand the Rev. Mr. Paul, a "auperan
ntuds-d” and retor-d clergyman of the
Mi thmlisl Church, who lived iv-(ne two
miles distant, and who waa tryiug hard,
in his wav, to get a living from a small
farm. I knew him for a fair tuan and a
good catiaeo.
"My friend,” said he, "I hear that my
beast has killed your I vast."
"Ah, then, you own that rascally ra m
that came along yesterday!" said L
"I’m sorry."
“Well, I'm sorrv," said Mr. Paul.
"Of coarse it is a damage to you, ono I
must pay, if I can—unless yon are willing
to go by the scriptural rule."
"What's that?" I asked.
"The Levitical rale was that if one
man's lteast kills another man’s lieast,
then he whose beast did the killing shall
take the dead beast and leave in its
stead his own live beast, and thus the
affair shall end.”
"That may lie Scripture,” said I. "but
it seems hardly the fair thing—in this
case. For my ‘beast’ was a valuable
animal; and jfshonld call your ‘beaut’ a
scapegoat covered with sins and in
iqnity.”
Wo lrath had a laugh over it.
"It scarcely seems fair, I admit,” said
Mr. Paul "It is Scripture, neverthe
less. ”
He went on to iell me that he had
been away from home, at an "ordina
tion meeting,” when his iieast broke his
rope. Hince morning he had been
searching for him.
“Well, neighbor Panl,” said I, “ws
will follow tho ‘Lievitical’ rale this time.”
So be took the dead John Gilpin in
his wagon and drove off, leaving me tho
living. But I had much better have let
him take them both.
Next morning at breakfast Bean re
ported that Peelygnrlic had, in some
way, got free from his chains, bunted
down tho harn-door again, and left for
parts unknown; for ho was not with our
flock.
“Let Idm go!” said I. “Don’t follow
him. Aud pray fortune ho may never
come back!”
But I had not stopped to consider tho
consequences.
Wo heard no tidings from him for a
week or more, when one afternoon there
rodo into the yard a man whom I know
was in a passion the moment I saw him.
Ho demanded to know if I was tho
owner of a lienst which he proceeded to
ilescribo in such unhandsome terms that
I instantly recognized Peelygnrlic.
At first, I was on tho point of dis
claiming all ownership of the brute, liut
on a second thought I concluded ho was
mine, by tho Lovitical law, aud I had ac
cepted him os my property. I iiail to
acknowledge him.
Tho irute farmer had mistaken tho
cause of iny hesitation. He fairly shook
his fist in my faoe.
“J”J give ye twenty-four hours,” ho
shouted, “to come to my place and set
tle for hia killing -my full-blooded Me
rino!” and lie drove off nt a great rate,
the angriest man in tho county.
Nothing remained but to gif and “set
tle.” Accordingly Bonn aud I setoff next
morning. It was rather over three
miles. The fact of our coming put the
man in a rather tiotter humor; and a few
fair words on my part paoilleil him so far
that ho now admitted that his “full
blooded Merino buck” was ouly half
blood ed, and accepted 910 as a fair
equivalent.
But, meantime, Peelygnrlic hail gone
from tiroro, in quest of new adventures;
and fully awake now to the fact that
lie was a dangerous representative to
liavo abroad, Bean and I gavo oliase.
Wo eamo lip with the old chap about
two miles further on, iu a pasture whero
them were two cosset aheop and six or
eight young cattle, among which was a
[ black-and-white bull; aud l’eoiygarlio
was fighting the bull.
Killing tracks had ceased to nmiiao
him. Ho hod turned his attention to
larger game; and oortainly it was tho
moat amusing encounter I everwituesaed.
Tho hull went roaring anil charging
after the ram, while reolygnrlio, being
tho lighter fighter, dodged almut and
butted as he got a chance.
Been and I stood and watched tho
fight and laughed. We both lmjvd tho
hull would kill him. At length Peoly
garlio got in ono of his skull-smashing
blows plump between the hull's burns,
fairly knocking tho animal down; ami ho
followed it up with another ou tho bull’s
sides which made the.creature's ribs re
sound like a baas drum. In fact, 1 guess
ho would have killed tho bull if wo lmd
not interfered.
We chased him into a corner of tho
fence, captured him and took him home.
What to do with him now, unless wo
killed him, we hardly knew. Finally we
put him iu the barn celiac, and he staved
there for as much os n Week, till ono ilay
there came along an odd featured man,
iu an old thorough trace wagon, from
the township next above, to “ borrow ”
some seed-wheat.
He happened to look into the barn
cellar. What he saw in Peelygnrlic that
made him wish to buy him, is mqre than
I know. But ho came in and offered me
fivo dollars for him. It is needless to
sav I took it.
A llellr of Washington.
An old walnut cabinet of antique de
sign lias been discovered in tho store of
Frank Ware, a second-hand furniture
dealer in Staunton, Va., to which un
usual interest attaches. In moving tho
desk-Warn (urned it up and his eve fell
hjioii a singular looking inscription, to
decipher which he called in the aid of
several gentlemen, to mnkc it out a* fol
low*: “To George Washington by D.
Webfter in ye year 1777,” ami in another
place: “Ye disk was presented toGeorge
Washington in ye year of yo Lord 1777
by 1). Webfter.” The inscribton is
quite distinct, except the “D” preceding
Wehstci. The cabinet was Ixnight re
cently at a sale of the effects of the
widow of the late Samuel Clark, a former
Mayor of Stauntou, and is about three
feet long and one deep and stands upon
four slender crooked legs. A drawer
runs the whole length of the cabinet at
Uie top ami there are smaller shallow
ones Ivnonth this, with an old fashioned
brass handle. It has been found that
Samuel Clark married a daughter of
Sampson Matthews, who was the first
man who ever kept a tavern in Staunton.
His tavern, which has long since disap
pesred, was a rendezvous for Continental
soldier's. General Matthews, a brother
of the tavern-keeper, was a friend of
General Washington and was Governor
of Georgia after the war. The old desk
evidently passed from General Washing
ton into the hands of Governor Matthews
ami so into his brother’s family. Its
identity is much strengthened by the
strong resemblance between the inscrip
tion upon it and the handwriting of
Washington.as seen upon on old auto
graph letter of his which has been
hunted up and compared with it.—Phil

There are some men who sleep any
where, and oa anything, except a lounge.
There is something about an ordinary
lounge that will drive sleep from
the sleepiest person in tlx- world.
A person will go to church aud ait right
up straight in a pew and go to sleep while
the minister is trving Lis best to keep
the sleeper awake, (rat let that same man
Chome and lie down on a lonnge and
can’t go to sleep to save him. No
body knows what it is shoot a lonnge
that drives sleep away. It may be the
way it is built, but we defy onbody to
get a wink of sleep on a lounge. S|nuk
ing of lounges, we get the particulars
from a minister at Eou Claire, of a thing
that happened to a young man. Harry
Morrison, a young gas-fitter, who is
boarding at- his brother-in-law’s, was
asked to sleep on a lonnge in the sitting
room, as there was sickness in the bouse,
and it might lie necessary to coll on him
in the night to go after the doctor. Har
ry never was muck on lounges, anyway,
but there was nothing mean about him,
no he prepared to go to his rest, so aa to
be handy in cane of an emergency. Ho
camped down, and for two hours tried to
go to sleep. Sometimes the back of the
lonnge would rear tip and hook him in
the back, and then it would atab ki:n
somewhere else. The springs would
work through the cover and corkscrew
themselves into his flesh, and every hair
of tlie lounge cover seemed to stand on
cud and run into his vital parts. He got
nervous and wished they would call him
and send him clear to Chippewa Falls
after a doctor. Finally he got up and
weut into the bath-room, and there was
the bath-tub, which looked to him ns
though it was a downy lied, such as an
angel might sleep in, compared to the
lounge. He is no angel, but he got
some quilts and put into the bath-tub,
and a pillow, anil laid down in it, anil in
five i nnutes lie was asleep. Most young
men kick more or less in their sleep, and
Harry is no exception. He kicked, anu
his tiny hoof ennio in contact with the
faucet and the water was turned on.
The cold water struck tha quilts ana
made no noise to wnkc him, but gradually
the cold fluid found its way np his
. trousers legs, along his spine, and, in
fact, all over him. Ho began to dream
that ho was running for Vice-President
on a ticket with Charles Francis Adams.
Then tho dream changed and he fancied
lio was ou an Arctic expedition, and
whilo ho was lunching on a piece of
frozen-boned seal, a polar boar was eat
ing his foot off. Then ho dreamed that
ho was shoveling snow on a railroad, and
a snow-plow had run into him and threw
him forty feet into tho air. It was at
this timo that bo was grasped by tho
hair of tho head by the brother-in-law,
and jirked out of tho bath-tub. under tho
impression that Harry was trying to
comit bathtubicide. The brother-in-law
had got up to call him and found that the
lounge which had known him knew him
no more, and tlio search that followed
resulted in fluding him nearly covered
with water, and snoring as peacefully a*
a deacon in church. Harry run himself
through a clothes wringer nnd came out
as dry ns a voter on election day, but ho
insists that a bath-tub heats a lounge to
sleep in.— Peck's iS’un.
A Dealer in Bibles.
“ Come in,” Baiil tlie Rev. Mr. Bob

to drop a blot on a lialf-fiuisliod sermon.
The door opened and a man entered.
The corners of his mouth wero turned
down as though to give emphasis to his
fare. Hia clothes suggested that he
worked at a livery stable in a subordi
nate capacity, and bis list was as ill-
Hluiped as though’ it had kfiilff V 1
iq>on by a cow. " W '
“ Well,” said the Rev. Mr. Bobstock,
" what can Ido for you ?” _
The man drew a sigh from tiro bottom
of his being and replied :
“ I want a Bible. A few weeks ago I
was a nrosperous saloon keeper, but,
sir, I prefer poverty and sobriety to uf
flueuoo and whisky. I gave my saloon
to tlie widows aiul orphans, nnd, sir, a
heavy widow planted harself behind the
bar and liegan to deal out tlie scorpion
as naturally as I hail ever done. I ox*
1 looted her to close up tho business and
divide the cash, but when I spoke to her
about it she caught mo by tho looseness
of my raiment, and threw me out. I
never before understood what was
meant by widow’s might. Now, sir, I
want tho book of consolation. You
needn’t mind tho revised statutes, but
givo me old Peter mid old Paul. Give
mo a Bible.”
The good minister was much moved
liy tho poor man’s strong appeal,
and, taking down a Bible, ho presented
it to the pleader. Late iu tho evening
the minister was standing in a second
hand lunik store, when a man entered
mut said to tho proprietor :
" I have a nice lot of Bibles for you
this time.Civp’n,” and lio emptied a sack
full of I looks on tlie floor. “Five dol
lars for tlie lot; cost me 9-1.50.”
“My friend,” said the minister, “are
not you the man who came to my |
house this morning and begged me for a j
Bible?”
"Oh 1 no, sir. I have been in bed all 1
day with rheumatism.”
“ How did you collect these books ?”
“Family relics, sir.”
“ Didn’t you get this book from me ?”
taking up a book.
"Oh ! no, sir. That book was given
to my little son by a Sunday-school
teacher.”
Just then a policeman, accompanied
liy three ministers, entered the store.
" Here he is,” said one, and the police
man led the book dealer awav. He Lad
called ou every minister in the city, and
from each had secured a Bible.
True to the Last.
Daisy Shoemaker, the pretty daughter
of a farmer living near Richmond, Va.,
had agreed to elope with Westland Pioroe,
but when the critical moment arrived
sho feared to transgress her parents*
wishes, aud would not go to the rendez
vous. Her sister Jane, two years her
senior, begged her to keep her trust with
her lover, but all in vain. "Well, if you
don’t keep your word with West Pieroe,
Til do it for yon,” she said, and indig
nantly leaving her sister, she got into
the buggy and dashed off, despite
the screams of her sister. Miss Jane
reached the waiting place; explanations
were made; she said she was willing to
take her sister's place. The lover,
touched by her pluck and captivated by
her determination not to let the plan fall
through, did actually marry her—so the
story goes.

The process is as follows : The wood,
first thoroughly dried and warmed, is
coated otice or twice with a strong
aqueous solution of extract of walnut
peel. When half dried, the wood thus
treated is brushed with a solution com
