This popular paper will commence a new vol-

and Impirovmn. lt-is now the most. capacious
p(\pm' in the world, containing: double the read-
ing.-: of most of the weekly publications ;.yct the
publishe’r is determined to continue to improve
it till it shall i-each a_point: at which he has ever
z1inred—Pr:nri:c'r1oN. _
On the commcrrcemcut of volume 5, the" paper".
will he consider-ably enlarged by iliesubslitution
of a PIC'I‘0RI.\L Bonnizn around its .pagcs, in
room of the plain rule work now‘ used. This
border will be composed of flowers, vines, fruit,
birds, cupids, 8:c., executed in the most beauti-
ful manner by the best artist in the country.
\Vc intend, also, to have :1 New-.‘r Hi:.u') for the
paper, much richer and more appi'opi-iatc in de-
sign, which will correspond" with the pictorial
border. . '
We slrall also use a s=o'L-Ismm, sarm’-sUni'~‘A-_
can I’.»xrt:rt, which will give a more clear and
bc:iutit'ul impression. We shall inake ari'angc-
moms to sccui'c a full supply of bcziutiful paper
for the volume. ‘-
We shall commence the next volume with the

,.«parlincnt, who wiIl,no doubt, make the paper
more acceptable to the ir'itclli5.i;ent portion of our
i'caclei's, as she certainl_v will to our own taste.
An original tale will be furirislicd for the corri-
incnrcmcnt of the ircfrtt volume by one of the
best authors in the country, accompanied with a
correct likeness of the author. We intend also
to linve licautifrrl eiigi':;viirgs in each number.
It is rlzisirzible that all those who intend to re-
now their subscriplioiis at the close of this vol-
ume, shotild do so‘ early in June, as we shall
erase all such as do not send in before the com-
mcnccment oflhe next volume. We have often
promised that volume five shall appear more
bearitifril than any prcccdin;.; one,—-and those
who shall take the next voliiirie will, we believe,
long continue on our books. The volume will
contain 416 pages, instead of 400, as at present.
Our C0l‘I‘e3pt)lltiCl1_l3 are now very nnincrous,
and we hope to make the‘ paper ii source of

Farmer Gray had a nciglibor who was not
the best tempered man in the world, tliough
niainly kind and obliginrr. I-Ie wasa shoc-
maker. His name was Barton. —One day in
liai‘vc:.t time, when every man on the farm
was as ‘ busy as a bee,’ this man came over
to Farini-r G ay’s, and said, in rather a pet-
ulant tone of voice-—-
‘Mr. Gr-.iy,] wish you would send over
and drive your geese home.’
‘ ‘Ni-._v so, Mr. Barron; whirl have my geese
been doing?’ said the furincr, in ii mild and
quiet tone of voice. _
"l'lir~_v pick my pigs’ ears when they are
catin_«_r, and go into my gixrden—-u-'i(l I will
not have it l’ the neiglrbor rcpl-icd in a still
more petulant tone.
' ‘ lam real_l_v sorry for it, neighbor Burton;
but what can I do?’ '
‘ Why, yoke them, and thus keep them
on your own pl‘t"mlSt‘S 1:’: no kind of a
way to let your geese run all over every
farm and garden in the noigtrborhoorl.’
‘But I cannot see to it now. It is harvest
time, friend Barton,-and every man, woman
and child On the farm have as much as they
can do. Try and bear it foa a week or So,-
irnd then I will see if I can remedy the evil.’
‘I Can't bear it, and I won’t, bear it any
longer !’ said the Shoe-malcer. _‘ S , if you
don’t take care of them, friend Gray, I shall
talcec:-are of them for you.’
‘ Wcll, neighbor Barron, you can do its
you please,’ farmer Gray replied in his usual
quiet tone. ‘I am sorry that they trouble
you,bur I cannot attend to them now.’ _
‘ I'll attend to them for you, see ifI don’l,-’
said the shoe-maker, still more angrily than
when he first called upon fainter Gray, and
— then turned upon his heel and strode‘ hastily
to\var_ds his own house, which was quite near
to the old farincr’s.
‘What on earth can he the rn‘atl.er with
them‘ geese ?’ asked Mrs Gray, about fifteen
minutes aftel'Wai‘(ls. _ _ _
‘I really cannot iell,- unless neighbor Bar-
too is taking care ol them. He threatened to
do so, ifl didu’tyokc them right off.’
° Taking care oftheml I-low taking care
{if them '9"
‘As to tlitit; lam ‘quite in the dark.-—Kill-‘
ing them, perhaps. He said they picked at
his pigs’ ears and drove them away when
they were eating, and that he wouln’t have
it. He wanted me to yoke‘ them right off,
but that [could not do now, as all the hands
aierbusy. So I suppose that he is engaged
in the iieigborly business of taking‘ care‘ of
our geese.’ ._ _
‘ ‘.I0hlIl Williorn‘ I fun over and see what
Mr. Barton is doing with my geese,’ said
Mrs. Gray, in a quick and anxious tone, to
two little boys, who‘ were playing near.
The urchins scauspei-ed offwell pleased to
erlorm any errand.
‘Oh, if he has dared to‘ do anything to my
geese,I_ will never forgive him!’ the good
Wife ‘Said ac9',i‘ily.
‘H-u-s-h, Sally! make no rash speeches.
It is more than proable that he has killed
sone two or three ofthem. But never mind,
it he has. He will get over his pet,and be
sorry for it.’ _

In about ten, minutes the children came
home, bearing the bodies of three geese, each
without a head. _ ,

his being sorry for it’ do‘ us-—I should like
to know? Next, he will kill a cow, and
then we must be satisfied with his being sor-
ry fnr it! Now,I can tell you that I don't
belive in that doctrine. Nor do I believe
anything about his being sorry —-the crabbed,
ill-natured wretch.’ ‘ _ _
‘Don't call hard names, Sally,’ said far-
mer Gray, in a mild, soothing‘ tone;-—
‘Neiglrbor Bgrton was not himself when he
killed the geese. Like every other angry
person, he was a little insane, and did what
he would not have done, had he been perfect-
ly in his right mind. When you are a little
excited, you know, Sally, that even you do
and say unreaso-able thingsl’.
‘M-3 do‘ and say u‘nrca_sonabie things !’ ex-
claimed Mrs. Gray, with a look and tone of
indignant astonishment; ‘ me do and say un-
reasonirble things when I am angryl Idon’L

Mr. l\‘lellou’s old brindle got into our garden,
and trampled on your lettuce bed, and how
you struck her with a pole, and knocked off
one of her‘ horns ?’
‘ But I didu’t mean to‘ do that, though.’
‘ No, butthen you were angry ,-and struck
old brindle with a right good will ; and it
Mr. Mellon had felt disposcrl, he might have
prosecuted you for damages.’ ‘
‘But she had no business there.’
‘ Of course nbt; neither had our gel:-"sé any

that will be more conclusive in regard to
your doing and saying unreasonable things
when you are angry. You remember the
patent churn '2’
‘ Yes, but never mind about that.’
‘So you have not forgotten how unreason-
able you was about the churn. It wasn't
good for anyihiiig— you knew it wasn’t 2 and
you’d never put a jar ofcream into it as long
as you lived—tliat you wouldn’t. And yet,
ontrial, you found the churn _the best you
had ever used, and you v:ou'ldn’t part with it
on any corisidcration So, you see, Sirllv,
that even you ‘can say and do uureasonali e
things when you are angry, just as well as
Mr. Barton can. Let us then consider him
:1 little, and give him time to get over his
angry fit. It will be much better to do so.-’
Mrs. Gray saw that her husband was
right, but still she felt indignant at the out-
rage committed on her geese. She did riot,-
however, Say more about sueingllie shoema-
l{Cl'-—fOl' old briudle’s head from which the
horn had been knocked off, was not entirely
well, and one pl'oSC:)ul.i(m very naturally
suggested the idea of another. So she took
her three fat geese, and after‘ stripping off
tncir feathers, had them prepared for the la-
ble. '
On the next iliol‘niti,c_f, as ifal‘t’hé‘l' Gray
was going along the mad, he met the shoe-‘
maker, and as they had to pass very near
each other, the larmeif smiled, bowed, and
spoke kindly. Mr. B. looked and felt very
uneasy, but farmer Gray did not seem to re-
memberthe unpleasant incident of the day
before.
It was about eleven o’clor:k on the same
day, that one of farmer‘ Glray’s little boys
came running to him, and crying--‘-
‘Gh, falberl fatlrerl Mt. Barton's hogs
are in our corn-field I’, ’
‘Then I must go and drive‘ them our,’ set
the farmer, in a quiet tone. .
‘Drive ’em out!’ ejaculated Mrs, Gray,
‘drive ’em out, indeed ! I’d shoot them,
thai’s what I’d do! l’J serve them‘ as he
served my geese.’
‘But that wouldn’t bring the geese back
to life again, Sally.’ _
‘I don't care if it wouldn"t§ it would be
paying him in his own coin, and that’s_ all
he deserves.’ H A
‘You know ram: the‘ Bible‘ says; tibolit
grievous words, and they apply with a stron-
ger force to grievous actions. No, no, I
will return neighbor Barton good for evil.-
That is the best way. He has‘ done wrong,
and I’m sure ‘is sorry for it. And as I
wish him still to remain sorry for so unkind
and unneighborly an action,I intend nia-
king use of the best. means of keeping'_ him
so.’
‘Then you will be revenged on him, any
how,’ said Mrs. Gray. _
‘No, Sally, not revenged. I hope I have
no such fer-ling. For l am not angry with
neighbor Barton—-who has done himself a
much greater wrong than he has done iri‘e.—
But I wish him to see clearly how wrong he
actqlgthart he may do so -no more. And
then-we shall not have any cause to‘ com-
plain of him, nor be anything to" be grieved,
,as lreis,-_al; his own hasty conduct. But
while I am talking here, his hogs are‘ des-
troying‘ my com.’ I ‘ _
And so‘ saying, ‘far'mc.r Gray‘ ttttrried off"
towards his corn-field. When he arrived
there, he found four large hogs tearing down
the‘ -stalks and -pulling off and
eating the ripe ears of com. They had
already destroyeda good deal. But he
drove ihem out very calmly, and putup the
bars through‘ which they had entered, and
then comm-enced gz_rtlI'e‘ri'ng up th-ebalf-eaten
ears‘ of com, and tliro‘wi'ng them out into
the lane, for thehogs that had been so sud-
denly disturbed i'u the process of o‘b1iIinin9:a
l’iberal meal. A-she was ihusen‘ga'ge'd,« Mr.
Barton, who had fromfihis own‘ house, seen
the farmer turn the hogsont of his corn-
field, came hiirrierllyup aiid said-s_
‘I am very sorry, Mr. Gray, in‘de‘e'd nut’,
that my hogs have done this! _ I w'i‘ll mos!
cheerfully pay you for whit! they have dc}
troyed.’ A. -
‘Oh, never mind, friend Barton-never‘
mind.- Such things will happen occasional:
Iy. geese, you know, annoy you very
much sometimes.’ ..
. ‘Don’t speak V of it, Mr. Griiy. They did
not annoy me half as much as I imagined
they did. But how much corn do you tffinlf
my hogs have destroyed? One bushel, at
two bushels? Or how much? Leg 1: by
estimated, and I will pay for it most gtfeggs
fully.’ ‘ .
‘(lbs 110-" Not for the world, friend flat!
ton. Such things will happen sometimes.“
And, besides, _ some of my men must hard
left the bars dow ft, or your hogs could never
have got in.‘ So don"t think any more about
it. It would be dreadful if one neighbor
cou'ld not beat a little with another.’
All this cut poor Mr. Barton to the heart.
His own ill-natured language‘, and conduct,
at ii much smaller trespass on his rights, pres
sented itself to his mind, and deeply mo-ma
fied him. After‘ a few moments silence, he
said--=e ‘
‘The fact is, Mr. Gray", I shall feel better‘
if you will let me pay for this corn. My’
hogs should not be faltened at your exfiénseg
and I will not consent to its being done. So
I shall insist on paying you at least for one
bushel of corn, for [am sure they have den‘
troyed that much, if not more.”
But Mr. Gray shook his head and smiled
pleasantly, as he replied:
‘Don’t think anything more about it, neiglg.
bor Barton. It is a matter deserving no con-'
sideraiiou. No doubt my cattle have often
rrespassed on you and will trespass on you
again. Let us then bear and forbear.-’
All this cut the shoe-maker ‘still deeper,
and he felt still less an ease in mind after he
parted from the farmer than he did before-__.-.
But on one thing be resolved, and that was
to pay Mr. Gray for the corn which hi§
hogs had eaten. ,
‘You told him your mind pretty plainly I
hope,’ said Mrs. Gray, as her husband came
in.
‘I certainly did,’ was the quiet reply".
‘And I am glad you had spirit enough to
do it! I reckon heywill think twice licfotd
he kills any more of my geese.’ .
v ‘I expect. you are right, Salty. _I don’t
drink we shall be troubled again.’
‘And what did "you say to him And
'Vllhtit,(lld he say for himself?
‘Why he wanted to pay me very ifluall
for the corn his pigs had eaten, but-I would
not heat‘ to it. I told him that it mltde no
difference in‘ the world—that such accidents
would happen. sometimes.’
‘You did?’ . .
‘Certainly, I did.’
‘And that’s the way you spokevyauf mind
to him ?’ V '
‘Precisely. And it had the desired elf-
ect. It made him feel ten times worse than
if I had spoken angrily to him. He is ex;
ceetlingly pained at what he has done, and
says he will never rest. until he has paid for"
that com. But I am‘ resolved never to take
a cent for it. It will be_ the" best possible
guaranty I can have for his kind and neigh-
borly conduct hereafter.’
. ‘VVell,- perhaps you are right,’ said_Mr‘g,
Gray, after a few moments of thoughtful si-
lence: ‘Ilike Mrs. Barton very mnc'h—and
now I come to think of it,l should not wish
to have any difference between our families.’
‘And _so do I like Mr. Barton; He has’
read a good deal, and I find it very pleasaiit
to sit with him,- occasionally, during tlielong
winter evenings. His only fault is his quiclé
temper——but I am sure it is much better for‘
us to bear with and soothe that, than’ to o‘p-'
pose and excite it, and thus keep‘ both his
family and our own in hot water.’
‘You are certainly right,’ replied Mrs.
Gray, ‘and [only wish thatl could always
think,-and feel as you do. But Pm alitrld
‘quick as they say.’ __ H _
‘And so’ is Mr. Barton. Now just are
same consideration that you would desire‘
others to have for you, _should you exercise
towards Mr. Barton, or any one else iwhose
h":-isty temper leads him into 'wo'rds_ 01‘ ac‘-'
tions that m ca'lmer' and more thoughtful
moments, are subjects of regret.’
on the next day, while Mr. Gray stood in
his own door, from which he could see over:
the two‘ or three acres of ground the shoe:
maker cultivated, he observed two of his
cows in his neighbo1"s coin-field, browsing
away in quire a comented manner. As he
was going to call one of the farm hand: to
go over and drive them out, be‘ perceived
that Mr. Barton had _ become aware of the‘
mischief that was going on, and had already’
started for the field of corn.
‘N ow we will see the effect of yesterday’!
lesson,’ said the farmer to himself, and then
paused to observe the manner of the shoe-
maker towards his _cattle', in di‘ivii'ig tired!
out of the field. In a few minutes Mr. Bar-v
ten came up with the cows—-but, instead 0
throwing stones at them,-or striking them
with a stick, he merely drove them out in II.
quiet way, and put up the bats through
which they had entered. ‘
‘Admirable! ejaculated farmer Gray.-
‘ What is admirable '2" asked his -wife who
c'a‘ine within hearing distance at the moment.
, ‘Why ‘the lesson _t't'i-at tgave our friend
Barton yesterday. it Works admirably.’
‘How so?’ , ‘
, ‘Two of our cow were in his corn-field 8
few minutes ago, destroying the corn at
a rapid rate." I ‘
" Well! what did he do with them 2' in a
quick, anxious tone.
