My family gatherâ€" ed about the new-comer and View. erl him with deep interest. He was a litlle fellow, but healthy. as was proved by the capacity of his lungs. But Peter shook his head. That wouldn’t do. A barn was no place {or a pig I would have to have to have a pen made, he said. ‘ Mercy !' cried Susan, ‘ what a noise it makes! He must be hun- gryJameSKSusan’s experience With babies encouraged her to this con- clusion. ‘ I know what’ll make more noise than that.’ said my Fred. with a rougish twinkle in his eye. ‘ Good.’ said I. ‘ I’ll pay your fare for your trouble, Peter besides the price of the pig. A good one, now ! Nope you snub-nosed, pug-eyed fellewsfi‘yoe know a sleek intellegent‘one.' ‘ Yah,’ said Peter. A few days later the pig came. I was just leaving the house to go down town when I met Peter with the pig in a bag. ' 'I got him,’ Peter remarkedâ€" very unnecessarilly, however, for the pig announced the fact loudly in his own behalf. Nothing but a pig could have squealed so. ‘ Where I put him ?' asked Peter. 'Oh, put htm in the barn.’ said I. There Is a barn attached to our house, but there is nothing in it. Animated bva desire to put the barn to some Useful purpose, I bought a cow and put it in there last summer. but she gave no milk after the second Week, and so I sold her. I was glad I had another tenant for the barn. ‘ What is it?’ I asked to encour- age my son. ‘Two more pigs,’ said Fred. When I came home at night the pig was fast asleep in his pen on a heap of straw and I felt. quite a pride in him. I had secret hopes of my own in regard to him. though I did not impart them to Susan.â€" He only cost 82â€"that is per 88.â€" The pen cost about .10 more ; and Peter’s fare brought the sum total up to .14 83. ,7‘.-._-u\.

Now ifthere is any eatable ani- mal I known less about than I do about another, it is the pig. I re- member having seen pigs alive when I was a boy; but since I grew up my knowledge of the species had been confined to the procine corpses I have seen suspended from hooks in market-places, and'to cer- 1tain works of art in which they have been representedâ€"not in land- scapes, I may remark; so ifthere had been a market {or live pigs ad- joining my studio I could not have selected an available one from the lot. I thonng about it a good deal during the day. and the result at my meditations was. that on my homeward way in the afternoon I made a circuit around by the resi- dence of Peter Van Popp, a Dutch- man whom I employed to take care of my garden, and to do such other heavy work as might be necessary about the house from time to time. On consultation, I found that Peter wasjust the man for the business. Mrs. Dobbs gave me a despair- ing look, and then poured the cof- fee. Before I left the house I had promised to see about getting a pig. ‘ Why, you are in one now, Susan. Be calm. The coffee will g t cold.’ ‘ What are you driving at! I do.’ One day our porker got, out of his pen, and went rooting round In ‘the garden with a tumultous exer- tcise of his sudden freedom. Of *course those women never saw him lit was washing day, I believe. The havoc he had made by the time I came home at night. was thrilling to witness. Nobody could tell how long he had been out of his pen '; butjudging by the de- vastation I witnessed he must have been out since morning. Tenny- son’s verSe in ‘Mand’ may give a faint indication of my emotions as I stood in the back-door that even-l ing: l ‘The roots of my hair were stirred. . . . I And my pulses closed their gates with a shock on my heart. There was nothing to do now, however, but to put, him back in his pen. As he had grown porker had developed a very ugly expres. sion of countenance, and as I look- ed at him now, with his tushos pro-1 trading in a most villainous way, 1 cofess he was not a cheerful sight for a timid man. However. 1 got a big stick and Went at him wit/2 loud “shoes” and extravagant flourishings of my weapon. He eyed me quietly out or his Vic 0118 little optics, and wisked his curly tail defiantly.

Jones came out while was I exercising myself with the porkcr, and laughed at me over the fence. ‘Perhaps you’d like to try it yourself.

'Now Dobb,’ said Jones, ‘ we’ll form a lineâ€"uyou and l and Mrs. Dobbs and the servant girl. ‘I beg’tp be excused’Mr. Jones.’ ‘Take him by the tail,’ said Jones calmly, in replv. ‘Get his nose aimed toward the pen, and then pull his tail.

But on this occasion. greatly to my sur- prise, Susan was not in the front hall to greet me. I waded through the children into the back part of the house, where Susan was. I fancied she looked at me with a half-frightened air. but] took her‘ fondly? in my arms, and was about imprinting a rapturous kiss on her lips when my eye chanced to go out the window, and] suspended the kiss midway of delivery. The door of the pig-pen stood wide-open and there was a peculiar aspect of desolation about it. ‘And when we told him he came over to see the pig. and said pooh he wasn’t dead ; that he knew wha. was the matter with the pig; bloatt ed stomach; he could cure him- Have you got any brandy I said he. Yes, I told him we had. and came in the house and got a bottle.’ . u... I‘rémember as if it were but yes- terday. the morning those beans were fed to our pig. I was going out of town to be gone three days, on business of importance. 1 saw a supply of the mouldy beans’ fed to the porker. and then I departed. To say that [ did not think of my pig while I was away would be to state an untruth. I did think of him. Though lost to sight he was to memory deer. ‘ Our porker,’ said Mrs: Dobb, gravely, ‘is in his grave.’ he wage-swelled up oh, dreadfully â€"-twice as larde as life, dearâ€"~and lying on his side and kicking his legs faintly. Neighbor Jones look- ed over the fence and asked what. 1he matter wasâ€"’ 'Wi!h z doubtless.‘ ‘ Where's our porker ?’ I asked postponing the kiss pro tempore. ‘Good Heavens !' I cried, ‘dead !’ and immediately went out to look at his deserted abode. l was quite calm at dinner-time, and informed Susan that I was ready to hear the particulars of the. sad event. 'Oh, that’s it! I thought it would be laid at my door in some man- ner, nolwilhslandingthe liule cir- cumstance that l was over two hundred miles away. Well pro- ceed.’ ‘ So the girl gave him beans im- dinner. afld beans for supper, and the next morning she went out with some more, and then I heard her scream. I went out, and there ‘ Well, James,’ she commenced, ‘you know that you dilecled those beans to be fed to him.’ He did so. There was a good deal left, after all. Potker's havoc was greater in appearance than in reality. Peter stored the cellar with abundanceâ€"~among other things, with a nice lot of very superior beans in the soft pod, which lay there till they got mouldy, and Were fit for nothing but swill. 4 ‘ Peter,’ said I after that, ‘you may come round tomorrow, if you are not engaged, and gather what’s left of the vegetables.’ I The result of it was, we sent for Peter. h.had now grown some- what dark, but Peter made sho;t werk ofthe Job. He got a rape, and look in‘ his hand Ihe big stick I had been flourishing; then he went up to porker, fetched him one Ire- mendous blow over the proboscis. and white poor piggy was stagger- ing and seeing a million stars, shp- ped a rope over one of his hind legs and had him into the pen in a trice. So it was undertaken. The por- ker stood by the fence, eyeing us i with a deep expression of interes;. We moved down upon him ; he wheeled about. snorted. and then made a dive at us. or rather at me; and whist! he went right between my legs, so that I sprawled on the ground most ungraceful!y. Susan and the servant-girl ran screaming; into the house. and Jones was over 1 his fence in no time. I “My dear madam,’ said Jones, gallantly, ' there’s no danger at all. I am quite in earnest, I assure you. ltis a pig’s nature to yield to over- whelming numbers.
