BETTING by PROXY,

Just afer the State election in Pennsylvania,
Mr.. Smith, a warm Cass man, met his friend
Mr.. Jones, an enthuiastic Taylor man.
Zones, said he, the election of Johnson does
not increase Taylor's chance in Pennsylvania.
'Yes it does,' said Smith.
I'll bet you hundred dollars that Cass car.
res the State cried Smith.
Done, exclaimed Jones, 'but' he added after
moments hesitation, but if we bet, we lose
our votes
so we SHALL said Jones,
I'll tell you what cried Jones, his face brigh.
tening up-1'l tell you what may be done.
My wife shall call upon your wife and bet with
her.
'Good,' said Smith.
Home went Jones.
my dear, Mrs. Smith wants TO bet hundred
dollars with you that Cass will carry Pennsyl-
vania.'
'Mrs. Smith bet hundred dollars with mel
exclaimed the astonished lady.
yes, and if you want TO bet there is the mo-
ney. Go round this afternoon and see her; put
the stakes into the hands of some lady friend.i
The two ladies met and the money was depo.
sited. When the result was known, Jones told
his wife to go and draw the money she had won.
The lady wac not slow in obeving her hus-
band that time, and before an hour the two hun
dred dollars, changed into halfeagles were gilt
tering through the interstices of her beautiful
purse!
When Jones came home at night, he said to
his wife
'Well my dear did you get the money!
Yes was the reply.

to save my vote, made you my agent answer
ed Jones with visible embarrassment.
Il cannot consent, my dear husband TO be-
come party in any violation or evasion of the
law,' said the lady with great dignity. Il can
not on your account-you whose honor is SO
dear TO me. And shall therefore keep the mo-
ney, in order that may still retain my respect
for aw.oving, law-honoring, and low-obey

Truth and FaIsehOod.

Truth and FalSehOOd.
On the page that is immortal,
We the brilliant promise see:
'Ye shall know the Truth, my people.
And its might shall make you freer
For the TRUTHthen let US battle,
Whatsoever fate betide!
Long the boast that we are FREEMES,
We have made and published wide.
He who has the truth and keeps it,
Keeps what not to him belongs,
But performs a selfish action,
That his fellow mortals wrongs.
HewhO seeks the truth and trsmbles
At the dangers he must brave.
Is not fit to be a freemsn-
He, at best, is but a slave.
. He who hears the truth and places
Its high promptings under ban,
Loud may boast Of all that's manly,
But can never be MAN.
Friend, this simple lay who readest,
Be not thou like either them,-
But to truth give utmost freedom,
And the tide it raises, stem.
Pold in speech and bold in action,
Be forever!-Time will test,
OF the free-souled and the slavish,
Which fulfls lfe's mission best.
Be thou like the noble Ancient
Scorn the threat that bids thee fear;
Speak!--no matter what betide thee;
Let them strike, but make them hear.
Be thou ike the first Apostles
Be thou like heroic Paul
If a free thought seek expression,
Speak it boldly!-Spsak it all.
Face thine enemies accusers,
Scorn the prison, rack or rod!
And if thou hast truth to utter,
Speak and leave the rest to God.
