RETALIATION.

A LADY once, when she was a little girl, learned a lesson, a good lesson, which she tells for the benefit of all whom it may concern: "One frosty morning I was looking out of the window into my father's farm-yard, where stood many cows, oxen, and horses waiting to drink. It was a cold morning. The cattle all stood very still till one of the cows attempted to turn round. In making the attempt, she happened to hit her next neighbor, whereupon the neighbor kicked and hit another. In five minutes the whole herd were kicking each other with fury. My mother said: 'See what becomes of kicking when you are hit.'"
