How The Pig Paid For
The Pony.
‘Well, I never!’ exclaimed Aunt
Am .nds, s andiug in the doorway
with both hands uplifted. Feed
inn a pig at theltable —and with a
silver epoon, too!’
‘Come ip, auatie,’ 1 tughed Mrs.
Moore. ‘Piggie does not come till
we aro through.’
‘But why do you have him here
at all, Mary?’ asked the visi’or, ev
idently regarding the prooe-dings
at the table with great disfavor.
‘He is a poor little orphan,’ ex
plained Mr Moore. ‘I bought his
mother, a fine Chester WLite, for
fifty dollars. She died, and this
youngster is all I have to shew for
osy bargain. Mary is too kind
hearted to see the little thing
starve.’
‘Well,’ acknowledged Aunt
Amanda stiffly, ‘she’s right enough
to try to savn it. I’ls a likely p g
enough. Won’t it ea* from a dish?’
Taking the little animal from
his mother’s lap, Frank stood him
beside his basin of warm mils and
meal on the hearth. Piggie had
eaten just enough to want more;
and his efforts to feed himself
were very corr.iral. Af-er stepping
into his supper twice, and squeal
irg impatiently teveral limes, he
finally lea’ned to thrust his nose
into the basin; and he made no
more difficulties, but ate his mixt
uie with great relish, and then
sat down in the dish, p<rking his
head rtiueily on one side, and snap
ping his bright little black eyes,
while h* ut'er- d a coaxing. ‘Ulf!
uffi tiff!’ Mid the laughter caused
by his antics Frank pickod him up
a id carried him off to the ban .
As he returned to his room there
flashed through his mind the mem
ory of a desire long repressed.
‘Papa.’said he, ‘I do wish I had
a pony! Won’t you buy me <ne?’
‘I should like very much to buy
you a pony, my son. but cannot
dc so at present. However, if you
choose to earn one, I may he wil
lit g to help you.’
‘Earn one?’ cried Frank. Ol
course I will if I can, hut how?’
‘Very well,’returned his fathtr,
as be rose to go to his office, ‘as a
means toward the end, 1 will giva
you the baby pig.’
Frank’s eves riroeped and filled
with t ars. He thought his father
was making fun of him.
‘What good is the baby pig
anyhow?’ he muttered. Turning
to his mother he wus surprised to
find her leaguing.
‘Take the pig, Frankie,’ said she
pleasantly. ‘Don’t you see? papa
means you must make the pig pay
for the pony.’
'Oh, mamma,’ cried Katie, ‘that
little pig isn’t worth two cents,
and a pony costs lots and lots of
money.’
‘Yes,’ replied Mrs. Moore, ‘but
the pig will not always be little.
He will grow very fast, and by
and by, if Frankie takes good care
of him, he will he worth a great
deal of money.’
‘Why, Frank,’ aßid Aunt Aman
da. ‘he is a very likely little pig,
he will be worth thirty dollars,
pethaps more. People are willing
is give a good price for meal-fed
pork.’
Immediately the pig assumed
new interests and rose high in the
children’s estimation
One morning the children buret
eagerly into the hons-; ‘O papa,
mamma,where do you suppose the
baby pig slept?’
‘ln the basket? 1
‘No.’
•In the hay?’
‘No.’
‘Where, then?’
‘Come and see.’
Frank led them to Bruno’s ken- !
nrl.
Mr. Moo/e atooped and loosed
within it, at a sign from his
son.
LAFAYETTE, GEORGIA, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 27, 1883.
‘Well, I declare!’ he exclaimed;
laughing, and made way for his
wife.
‘Did you ever? oried Ms.
Moore.
‘lsn’t it funny, mamma?’ cried
Katie, laughing and d.ncing about
lino a little jumping-jack.
It ccitainly was a norel sight.
There lay diar, Kind, sbaggv old
Bruno, solemnly regarding them
all, slowly w-gging his tail.
‘The little cratur’ was squall
ing with the cold nil the night,’
said Patrick. ‘I came out twice to
see after him, an’ it’s meselt saw
•he dog march up to hi* little bos
ket, rbou.it him nut, picK him up
like a puppy and bring him into
the kennel.’
Night after night did Bruno re
peat his kindness to the little or
phan, till King James learned to
seek the kennel of his* own ac
cord.
Morning, noon and night Frank
fed him faithfully, and the three
children gave him many an extra
lunch, until the fpt little gourmand
became the vrnn ler of the ireigh
horlnod. As he grew larger he
learned to demand as bis right the
attentions so f.eelv lavished upon
him, and..an authoritative grunt
would often signify ihat he desired
n meal of apples, or wished his
buck scratched with a pointed
stick.
The summer glided away, the
fall slifiped by, and the frosty
wea'h r came. ‘I suppose King
J.ini-s must be killed soon, pap*,’
sa'd Frank. ‘How much do you
think he is worth?’
‘More than a c-mmon pig, a
good deal,' answered Mr. Moore.
‘He has been c'e.nly kept and
f d with whole-food. Uncle Allan
has offered f urteen ceutg a pound
for him. I will pay you fifteen.’
- ‘Then I will sell him to you,’
snilF.an I '. ‘How much do you
think l.e will weigh?’
‘About two hundred and fifty
ponnds.’
•T.iirty-seven dollarel’oxcltiimed
Frank.
•Will that buy the pony?’ asked
Katie.
‘Partly; mamma and I will make
up the difference. We were look
ing at one to-day—i handsome,
little black pony,with a long mane
and tail.’
Next morning Frank went over
to hie uncle's for Allan, whom he
found on the haymow in the barn,
crying bitterlv. ‘Why, old f. How,
what is the matt r?’ cried FranK,
in great surprise.
It was sometime before Allan
could an-wtr him; finally lie sob
bed f >nh an explanation. He had
overheard a conversation between
iiia parents the night before. In
gham & Co., the banKers, had fail
ed. They owed his father a large
amount, and unless he could get
five thousand dollars at ome, be
too must fail.
‘But,’ cried Frank, excitedly,
‘didn’t he think of Aunt Amandu?
She is very rich, you know, and
bis own sister, tool’
‘Yes,’ said Allan, ‘mamma
thought of her right off; out papa
said, ‘You know, dear, s! e refused
to help me once, I could not a»k
her again.’ ’
‘1 11 ask herl’ cried Frank, brave
ly. ‘Come alon,;, Allan.’
They went str.ight to Aunt
Amanda’s house. The grim maid
en lady glanc'd at Allan’s red eyes
and tear-stained cheeks. ‘Been
fighting?’she asked, abruptly, be
fore either of the boy* could mus
ter courage to speak.
‘No, indeed.’ replied Frank.
‘Allan was crying because bio father
is going to fab. But he won't fail
if you will lend him five thousand
dollars, Aunt Amanda.’
' Wi.at!’
'irgham & Co., have failed,’
stammered Frank, feeling his
courage desert him as he faced his
aunt’s stern eye. ‘Thev owed
Uncle Allan a lot ol money, and he
will fail too, unless be gets five
thousand dollars right cff.’
‘BO he sent yoo boys to msf she
inquired, pressing ber thin lips to
gether ominously.
•O, no,' cried Frank.
‘I heard him tell mamma he
could never ask yea to belp him
again,’ aaid Allan, ‘so Frank said
he would ask you.’
’You’re his own sister, you know,’
put in Frank.
‘lndeed,’ said she stifflv, turn
ing to hint, ‘so you think I ought
to h“lp my brother.’
‘Yes ma’am, I do,’replied Frank,
resolutely.
‘Are you willing to help him?’
she asked, severely, loi.k ngse.arch
iiiL'ly in his upturned face.
‘l?’ exclaimed Frank' astonished.
‘Whyl haven’t any thing to help
him with. 1 would in a minute —
O Aunt Amanda,’ faltering sud
den Iv, ‘Do you mean King Janus?’
‘Yes,’she answered, grimly, ‘he
must be worth nearly forty dol
lars.'
’0 my ponj! my pony thought
poor Frank.- ‘How cun I give up
piy pony? But dear, kind uncle
Allan, to fail —he shall have it.’
Then, though his heart sweled
with grief and ttie tears stood in
his eyes, he said, ‘I will do It. Un
cle Allen shall hayemy pig money.’
‘Very well,’ was the replv. ‘I
will,’lend him five thousand did
lais; go nod tel! him,’
‘Toai k you,’ cried Frank.
‘There is good stuff in the boy,’
said Aunt Amanda, looking utter
him.
King James was led off to Aunt
Amanda's by Pat risk. He came
back with forty dollars, and left
the pig. Frank took the money to
his uncle and with it a check from
his cunt for the five thousand dol
luis, with which Uncle Allau paid
ail his liabilities and went on with
h’s business. Young Allau in his
gratitude promised Frank every
cent he could colli ct toward anoth
er fund, ami Frank began patient
ly again the wo k of earning and
saving till he should have enough
to I uy another pony.
Some weeks utuur the departure
of King James, the morning dawn
ed of Frank's birthday. Ho won
d.red if some one v.oul I give him
a dollar or two to swell his
fund. When he wont down to
fq-enicft st thsir was a strange air ol

no gift. K itie cou Id net Keep still
a minute and gave a lit*le scram

up and longed at it. It was a
eh' ck from Uncle Allan for forty
dollars; an accompanying note sta
ted that hie uncle wus able and glad
to return the amount po generously
loaned him in his time of troub’e.
Frank was sstonisbed. He had
never looked upon it asu loan. As
the breakfasting went on, the door j
noil rang violently.
‘See who it is, Frank,’ said Mrs.
Moore.
He opened tho door and stood
staring in bewi dered surprise.- No
person was visible; but there stood
the black pony, with the white star
on his forehead the long tail and
flowing maim—in shining har
ness, attached to a r.eat basket
phaetin.
Frank rubbeJ his eyes /md look
ed egnin. Yes, there it was, and
the pony was pawing the ground
and chomping h : s bit.
Katie now came flying out, threw
her arms around his necK, and
kissed him and thrust a note into
his hand. As if in a dream lie
reed:

A Very Interesting Snake Story
Last Thursday, while Geo Lo
gan was plowing in his bottom
lands, lie wus suprised when
there were turned over io the
fonow a number ofeurinusappeur
ing eggs, which seemed not un
like those ol a hen without the
she!', with the exception fiat they
we- c riot quite the same shape.
Mr Log in gathered up *.he eggs,
fourteen in number, and took them
home. ,Jn an old ash barrel near
the house was a patient and moth
erly hen setting upon imaginary
eggs. He pdsced them under the
protection of the hen with such an
ardent longing to become a moth
er. Tue bea was edual to the or
cMiion, ai d buckled down to bus
iness on the new deal with unre
laxed seal. Tbe farmer, highly
gratified, departed with bis fami
ly the next day for Jil ana. He
thought nothing more about the
eggs until bit return. Upon enter
ing tbe yard the fir. I »ii(hl that
greeted his vision was tho old hen
in the lawn, chuckling, away at a
tremendous rate, acratching squaw
king, and i vlncing every other de
monstration of delight. Mr. Lo
gan’e litt'e girl, upon appoaching
theclncker, gave a scream of ter
ror and fied, cryitg 'Snakes!' Mr.
Logan ’hen cautiously advanced,
and found that the hen bad about
her u brood of fourteen little hlask
snakes, all betnoon four and six
NO. 10.
inches long, and ns pert and
obipppr as yoilrg snakes ever were.
Strange to relate, they answered
the old hen’s clookrf of vff.ctions
and gathered around her bil. to
•natch choice flies and insects and
duinlv bits. A note of warning
from the hen and a spake
could to som. They would in
stantly dart under leaves or grni-s
and be entirely concealed from
view. As niglit approached the
hen and her bro-d of serpmts
sought the old barrel, and each ba
by snake found the protecting
warmth of the mother hen’s wing.
This strange combination still ex
ists, and crowds of the neiglib rs
have hastened to vie# the wonder
ful sight. Mr. I/ognn, for the pres
ent, lias concluded not to inter
fere with the fond atachment be*
tween reptile and fo<*i, and is only
waiting to see which will tire of
the bargain or discover tlve n is
t ike first, the snake or the lien.—
