In this fast moving world of ours,j many are the gigantic scheme:-. = - i - - _ ? worked with a tlegree of success! difficult for an ordinary mind to: comprehend. So it was with our] citizens on the day of election for) Town Commissioners, Only com plete success did not -at iend the! scheme which would have been thej fruition of a certain young man’s) brightest hopes. j None can fathom the thou : that imbued the young m-i w • an energy to work snob a Hen -V lean effort, though it may have] been instilled into the young and] patriotic -breast by hearing the] magnificent 4th of July speeches] at the barbecue, with stars and] stripes floating so proudly above] his head. Young America arose from hiss slumbers on that bright Saturday] morn, and while the fact that iff was election dav aroused upon his) ever active brain, immediately ourj active young man imagined him-.; self a great political wader and;; to shape the mimici-f pal ily of any one hofrse county] town. Th'Ui taking an optical mens-* urment of his corporeal rotundity,' our young man moved thus: “Yes! I am pats mod fora great political] leader. I have a scheme. Fill work it: it shall work. etc. Then to the pol i?, ou r young man | goes, and approaches three jolly f voters, to whom he gives his ticket j then marches them up with the] stept of a conqueror,and sees them] deposited in the ballot box. And, thus be goes until six in ail are] obtained. Suddenly our young] a:uu loalizcs he has “run agin uj snag" which onlv tends to madden; and increase ills t-iurgy, lahure at-] ter, failure greets the young man] now,Lis nerves nr-; unstrung, his] anger relaxed mid desperation fol-j lows. A bottle of Iron Bit tors] calms an overwrought brain. Peace] on enrth and good will-to all men”] arc now liis sentiments. ] The day is lost, our young man] : retire? to the paietude of .hiio home, looks after Ins yearlings and] thinks of his flock of sheep on tie • mountain and r> solves to Lnd bis? flock in quietude the remainder or: his days, and forever he a stranger] to the wiles of polities.
