Sutnt, A Lrm r. too HotraeT. Wc once knew a man by thu name of Smith In the town in which wo llvcil, who heard that his neighbor Johnson had lost a very tine row, for the return of which a rvwanl of tlftten dollars was offered. Smith, seeing a chance to turn an honest penny, started out in search of the lost bov ine, In hopes that she had merely strayed awavand that tlie lucky Htar which be nlwa) a fol lowed would t between her horns. Cninga stream which ran by the town, hesturttd for tint timber which skirted it oil that side. When he had goue alMiut half a mite he met an Irishman with whom he wis acquainted, ami to whom he said : "Jimmy, Johnson has lost his cow,' (then he tic scribed the animal) "and has tiered fifteen dollars reward for her; and I thought I might as well have that tifte-cn dollars as anylsxlv. Have vou seen her in this neighborhood V" "ralth," said Jimmy, "tlie silf samocrathur but list elhropetl the brow o' tho hill fernlnit, and ve'll le nftht r tlndln' hr in the holly Ui)ant." With visions of "ten" and "live" Hitting before his eves, Smith struck out for thu holly be) ant, where ho waiuhrcdalsut in the brush for four or live hours, ami at last was forcexl to abandon the search nnd return. Meeting Jimmy again, he teld him tho row was net there; and in quired if he had seen lier since thty were talking. "Faith, that 1 have." "Where is she" "What would ye give to 1st tould )" "Now, sie here," said Smith, "jini owe me a Utile account." "Yes." said Jimmy, "live dollars; an' if jo'll cancel that I'll lw afther tellln' ve." The account was cancelled, and Smith luoktit np wlthcycH of e-age-r expectation. Said Jimmy: "Sure, an' If )o'll go lo Johnson's barn, ve'll lie tlndln' the row nil nice tied up lu hi r stlinll. That's what Jimmy was doing while his friend was prosecuting a vigorous search our in the holly; and Is sides squaring his Utile Indthttil ness he had thu fifteen dollars reward safe In his pantaloons poc kit.
