Mike Findi and the fiulL n n The Story of Mike Finch and the : Bull would make" a cynic laugh.? '? Mike took a notion to go in swimming, < nnd had just got his clothes off, when ] tie saw Deacon Smith's bull making ' it him?the bull was a vicious animal, 1 md had come near killing two orthrce ! persons?consequently, Mike felt rath h* "jubus." He didn't want to call 1 or iiolj>, for he was naked, and the ' nearest place from whence assistance 1 jould arrive was the meeting house, ' which was at that time filled with wordiippers, among whom was "the gal \ Mike was paying his devours to." So lie dodged the bull as the animal came it him, and managod to catch him by the tail. IIo was dragged around till nearly dead, and when ho thought he eould hold on no longer, he made lip his min 1 lie had better "holler." And now we will let him tell his own story: So looking at the matter in all its bearings, I cum to the conclusion that T),l U.u 1,-1. 1 1? 7 1 x ?. u. uetwr let tsoineoowy hnow Wliar 1 was. So I gin a yell louder than a locomotive whistle, and it warn't long before I seed the Deacon's two dogs u comin' down like as it fclioy war soein' which could, get thar fust. I knowed ' who they were arter?they'd jino the bull agin mc, I was sartin, for they ' were orful venomous and had a sj>ito ' igin mo. So says I, old hrindle, it* ri lin' js as cheap as walkin' on this ' route, if you've no objections, I'll jist ' :ake a deck passage on that ar back o' J yourn. So 1 wasn't very long getting istride of him ; then, if you'd bin thar, ron'd have swore that warn't nothin' human in that ar mix, the silc flew so orfully as the critter and I rolled round the held?one dog on one side and one on the other?try in' to clinch my feet. I prayed and cussed and cussed and prayed, until I couldn't tell which I did at hist?and neither warn't of no use, they'war so orfully mixed up.? Well, I reckon I rid about half an hour this way, when old hriiullc thought it war about time to stop to takein a suplily of wind. and cool olf 11 little. So vvfien we got round to a tree that stood thar, he naturally lialted. So bo/. IL>1(1 hoy, you'll lose one passenger sar, , tain. So I just clum upon a branch, kalkelatin to roost thar till 1 starved, afore I'd ho rid round in that ar way any longer. I was a makin' tracks for 1 the top o' the tree, when J heard snthin' a makiti' an orful biizzin overhead. 1 kinder looked up, aud it' thar warn't ?wbH, thar*s no use of swearin now, hut it war the biggest /ton net's neet ever built. You'll 'gin in' now, I reeken, Mike, 'cause there's no he'p for vou. 1'nt an idea struck me then, that L'd stand alieup better chance a ridin' the hull than whar I was. So/, I, old : ['oiler, if you'll hold on, I'll ride to the next station anyhow, let that he whar it will. So I jist dropped aboard lihn agin, and looked aloft to see what 1 1 had gained l?v ehangin quarters; ] uul, gcntlenieft, I'm a liar if thar vandt nigh half a bushel of the sting- -i n' varmints ready to pitch into me j vhen the word 'go' was gin.

This I imc the dogs led oil' lust, dead bent ; 'or the old deacon's, and as soon as old brindle and I could get under way we followed. And as I war only a deck 1 passenger, and had nothin' to do with jtoeriir the craft, 1 swore if I had, we shouldn't have run that channel, anyliow. ilut, as 1 said afore, the dogs took the lend?Brindle and f next, and :hc horn its drc'klv arter. The dogs rellin?brindle bcllcrin' and the horlits bnzzin and stingin. I didn't say lothin', for it war n't no use. Well, .ve'd got about two hundred yards rom the house, and the deacon heard js and cum out. 1 seed him hold up lis hand and turn white. I reckoned ie was prayin', then, for ho didn't ex- , >cct to be called for so soon, and it , .varn't long, neither, afore the hull ongregation?men, women, and eliillrou?cum out, and then all hands .vent to yelin.' None of 'em had the 'ust notion brindle and I belonged to ,his world. I jist turned my head and passed the hull congregation. I see .lie-run would he up soon, for brindle wouldn't turn an incli from a fence that ?tood dead ahead. Well, we reached that fonci, and I went ashore, over the old critter's head, Inndin on 'tother side, and lay thar stunned. It wurn't long ai'oro some on 'em as war not seared, cam, runiiin to nee what I war. lor all hands kalkelatod that the hull and I belonged together.

Now there was also, 1 think, in Jerusalem, a certain beggnr, named Lazarus, who asked to be feci only with the crumbs that fell from Dive's table. He lay down at the gate of the palace, but the rich man would not feed him; on tho contrary ho set the dogs on him.
